I have a FohDin who has Hammers as a backup to deal with non-demon and undead, so his hammers aren't maxed out at all.
Holy Bolt's sheet damage is 7238 - 8239 (7738 average).
Hammer's sheet damage is 7784 - 7841 (7812 average) with Concentration active (+345%) and 2862 - 2883 (2872 average) without.
P1 Hell Diablo has 113,812 HP and 0% Magic Res.
This is a difference of about 74.5 average damage, which is ~1% relative to Holy Bolt. Based on Diablo's HP, Holy Bolts should kill him in 14-16 hits (14.7 on average), and Hammers should kill in 14-15 hits (14.5 on average). From testing, I do see that it takes generally 15 Holy Bolts to kill. However, the curiosity is that it only takes 10 Hammers. So either my 7.8K Hammers are actually doing ~11.3K or Diablo has about around -45% resistance to Hammers. I do see that Hammers do +50% damage to Undead, but as I understand that damage percent is additive to the bonus from Concentration and Diablo is not Undead. I disarmed my merc (A1) to reduce her contribution to DPS, but the numbers didn't change.
What's happening here? Is there something special about Hammers I'm not aware of?
