ABOUT

In the thick of things, the hammerslinger cares little for any harm they suffer, trusting in their allies to heal them afterward. Whenever charging into the fray, the hammerslinger always shouts a battle cry, more to chase away their own fear than to intimidate the enemy. If it does intimidate the enemy, all the better.
