In Path of Exile 2, a player has been very lucky with his loot. He found a hammer that even Thor would like to wield.
What kind of hammer is it? On Reddit, the user “Roviro” shared his hammer with the community. The “Cataclysm Knell Expert Leaden Greathammer” is likely as powerful as few other hammers in Path of Exile 2. It features five attributes that enhance melee fighters – in addition to the normal weapon effects.
The weapon naturally increases the character’s physical damage by 40%. It adds 34 to 61 physical damage and an additional 175 increased physical damage from the random values. These also increase the attack speed by 23% and all melee skills of the character by 7 levels. About 8% of the inflicted physical damage is additionally regenerated as mana by its wielder.
A hammer as powerful as this one would likely be wielded by Thor as well, if he could. 215% more damage, a higher attack speed, and stronger abilities – that would likely please both the deity and the superhero.

Damage and even more damage
Why is this special? In Path of Exile 2, it is particularly difficult to obtain equipment with matching modifiers.
Everything depends on the player’s luck, as values are rolled randomly. The greathammer is so powerful because all its attributes fit together perfectly and have extraordinarily high values.
Can the weapon be improved further? Yes, the damage of the weapon could be even higher. In the comments on Reddit, users suggest taking the weapon to a professional crafter who is knowledgeable. This person could make the weapon even stronger with the right items.
The exact mechanics of how that works are complex, which is why a professional is needed to avoid turning the expensive item into junk.
However, for other players, the item would already be a reason to create a warrior character even without further upgrades (via Reddit).
Even for experienced players, it is a challenge to determine the value of the greathammer. With the stats the hammer offers, one moves away from the normal trading market and with a successful craft it could become even more valuable.
