Pool of the item type from the game files, version 2.8.0. Skill damage bonuses only carry weight for their class. All properties of this slot

One of the more mysterious tales in the annals of the Crusaders is that of Johanna. A powerful warrior, she disappeared suddenly. The fact that she did not take this, her favorite flail, seems to indicate that her journey was unplanned. She has not been seen since.

Johanna's Argument

This flail is a pure amplifier for Blessed Hammer: it sharply raises both the attack speed and the damage of the skill. Faster casts mean more hammers per second circling through the pack, while the damage bonus makes every single hit land harder.

For the Crusader the weapon is a cornerstone of Blessed Hammer builds and pairs beautifully with other items that boost the same skill or enlarge its shape. Especially in dense packs the higher cast frequency multiplies total damage enormously. Practical tip: when finishing the build, also watch your cooldown and resource management so you keep the now faster hammer running without interruption and the enemies stay caught in the swirl of projectiles.

Fixed bonus, open secondary stats

The power has no roll range: every copy doubles Blessed Hammer's attack speed and damage with exactly 100%. Which flail is better is therefore decided solely by its other stats. The flail always carries 626 to 750 Strength, plus added damage of a randomly chosen element. Also look for Damage %, a socket, Attack Speed, Area Damage, Cooldown Reduction and maximum Wrath. Each hammer costs 10 Wrath and you throw far more of them with this flail, so maximum Wrath is more than filler here.

Which Blessed Hammer rune fits

  • Limitless raises damage from 320 to 640% weapon damage as Holy and increases the area of effect by 20 yards.
  • Brute Force slows enemies it passes through and has a 35% chance to explode for 460% weapon damage as Physical, stunning enemies within 6 yards.
  • Burning Wrath has a 25% chance to scorch the ground for 330% weapon damage as Fire per second.
  • Thunderstruck arcs lightning for 60% weapon damage, and Dominion keeps the hammer orbiting you while you move.

Cube, partners and Johanna's disappearance

You can also use the hammer bonus through the weapon slot of Kanai's Cube. The flail is often combined with Strongarm Bracers, Convention of Elements, the Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac and the Crown, Mountain and Heart of the Light. According to the flavor text, the warrior Johanna vanished suddenly and left her favorite flail behind - a sign that her journey was unplanned.
