Hammers

Hammers are one-handed or two-handed blunt, melee weapons in Diablo II. Hammers have no Dexterity requirements to wield.

Hammer damage scales with the wielder's Strength at a higher rate than other weapons, with each point of Strength equivalent to 1.1% enhanced damage, rounded down to the nearest percent. Magic and rare hammers can have either or Paladin skill es. Like other blunt weapons, hammers are compatible with Barbarian Mace Mastery, and have an inherent +50% damage to undead modifier.

Clubs, maces, hammers and scepters are all labeled "mace class" in-game, but the four weapon types have distinct properties.

Two quest items, the Horadric Malus and the Hell Forge Hammer, are hammers.
