You deliver a powerful sidelong swing which channels ember energy into a wide, 270 degree arc, destroying shields. Quite useful as crowd control when leveled up to a decent AOE and stun chance, but nothing special in late game when you’re clearing whole rooms with Flame Hammer or Emberquake, both of which easily surpass the damage of Seismic Slam. Pure elemental damage skill, only improved by Focus and +% fire damage bonuses, not by Strength.
Your mechanically-assisted stomp stuns and burns all enemies in a four-meter radius around you. Each splinter could end up dealing way more damage than the actual hammer swing itself.
Each splinter does half of the skill’s listed DPS % as fire damage, so any +% fire damage bonuses – as well as the damage bonus from Focus – apply in their case. The splinters are separate from the main hit and account for most of the Flame Hammer’s damage. If available, a charge is consumed to generate two additional blasts. Your weapon crushes foes it strikes, creating four flaming splinters that seek out enemies within five meters.
