Hammer Mastery

The Hammer Mastery attribute reflects a Warrior's skill when using a hammer. This is not a primary attribute and may be used by secondary warriors.

Guild Wars Description
Hammer Mastery increases the damage you do with hammers and your chance to inflict a critical hit when using a hammer. Many skills, especially hammer attacks skills, become more effective with higher Hammer Mastery.

General Description
Hammer Mastery directly relates to the weapon 'hammer' and skills required by a hammer.

Hammer Mastery is a requirement for meeting a hammer's max damage.

The Hammer Mastery attribute increases the damage, adrenaline gain and the ability to extend the duration of a variety of conditions on a enemy through hammer mastery skills.

As well as increasing the critical rate, the hammer mastery attribute will add hidden damage by changing the Effective Damage Level (EffDL) if certain conditions are met. For further information about this, see Damage Level.
