Glacial Hammer /6

A physical/cold based melee single target attack. Glacial Hammer has a built in chance to freeze and will shatter frozen enemies if they are on low life.

Name	Show Full Descriptions
Ancestral Call Support	Allows Glacial Hammer to target two additional nearby enemies. Pairing this support with the Melee Splash support will result in large areas of overlapping damage.
Ice Bite Support	Adds flat cold damage to Glacial Hammer, an increased chance to freeze, chance to generate frenzy charges on killing frozen enemies and adds cold damage per frenzy charge on you. This synergises well with Glacial Hammer's built in shatter against frozen enemies on low life.
Melee Physical Damage Support	Grants more melee physical damage for Glacial Hammer. Because 50% of physical damage is converted to cold damage, this support will also increase the cold damage done by Glacial Hammer.
Melee Splash Support	Allows your Glacial Hammer hits to deal splash damage to nearby targets. Pairing this support with the Ancestral Call support will result in large areas of overlapping damage.
Multistrike Support	Causes Glacial Hammer to repeat an additional two times, as well as providing a large bonus to attack speed.
Hypothermia Support	Increases Glacial Hammer's damage and freeze chance against enemies that are chilled. Also increases the slow effect of chills applied by your Glacial Hammer.

Glacial Hammer

For the Vaal-themed counterpart, see VaalGlacialHammer Vaal Glacial Hammer.

Glacial Hammer is a melee strike attack that hits the enemy, converting 60% of physical damage to cold damage, with added cold damage against chilled enemies. If the enemy is frozen and is on less than one third life, they will shatter when hit with Glacial Hammer. Every third hit is more likely to freeze enemies. Requires a mace, staff or sceptre.

Skill functions and interactions

Damage conversion: Like all converted damage, the cold damage component of Glacial Hammer's damage will be modified by Cold Damage, Elemental Damage and Physical Damage.

Unique Enemies: Unique enemies that are frozen will not shatter at one third of maximum life.

Successive strikes: must be done one after the other to get the third strike bonus. Doing anything other than attacking with glacial hammer after the first or second strike will prevent the third strike from getting the bonus.
