Glacial Hammer is a melee strike attack that hits the enemy, converting 60% of physical damage to cold damage, with added cold damage against chilled enemies. If the enemy is frozen and is on less than one third life, they will shatter when hit with Glacial Hammer. Every third hit is more likely to freeze enemies. Requires a mace, staff or sceptre.
Skill functions and interactions
- Damage conversion: Like all converted damage, the cold damage component of Glacial Hammer's damage will be modified by Cold Damage, Elemental Damage and Physical Damage.
- Unique Enemies: Unique enemies that are frozen will not shatter at one third of maximum life.
- Successive strikes: must be done one after the other to get the third strike bonus. Doing anything other than attacking with glacial hammer after the first or second strike will prevent the third strike from getting the bonus.

This can be synchronized by interrupting successive strikes (with movement or another skill) immediately after dealing a ruthless blow.
