Hey guys, today I want to go over and showcase the mechanics of the new 'hammer belt' coming in Season 3 patch 2.2 for the Crusader. While we still don't have a hammerdin set (making this item currently useless for damage purposes), it is possible to combine it with high attack speed, Azurewrath, and Frostburns thereby creating a support Crusader who can lock down trash mobs almost entirely - quite useful for trials. Enjoy & discuss!
I feel like this belt is currently out of place. Just like the Dread Iron belt for barbarians its not a good enough belt to make a build around and there is nothing to support it. Once the might of the earth set is reworked yes the Dread Iron belt will have a place but for now it does not. Maybe this belt is hinting at possibly a hammer din set coming out for crusaders next? I'm not sure but for now you can try to build something around it all you want but unfortunately I don't think its going to be good enough. Any other people feel like this belt is just out of place as the Dread Iron?
Do you have a rimeheart to test the frozen hammers with?
I tested it, not worth it. Rimeheart is a 10% chance on frozen targets. Icebound Hammer has a 10% chance to freeze. So that's basically a 1% chance for the extra damage, which is not as good as extra freezes from Azurewrath.

In a game where resource generators are almost entirely irrelevant this belt has no place.
I tested it, not worth it. Rimeheart is a 10% chance on frozen targets. Icebound Hammer has a 10% chance to freeze. So that's basically a 1% chance for the extra damage, which is not as good as extra freezes from Azurewrath.
