Oh this is so like me, creating a thread to add more hammers
Jokes aside, with all the gear you can create with hardmode ores, there are no hammers at all....
I mean, come on.... There are hammers for each of the regular ores (and even wood) , but the only hammers for hardmode pre-mech tier is the pwnhammer..... Quite a gap right?
I’m also up for buffing the Hammush, but that’s off topic.
So here's the idea, add both warhammers and jackhammers to the pool of hardmode ore tier gear. Warhammers would be slower than war axes and swords, but have higher damage.

*I'm basing these stats on the ratios present in Chlorophyte rounded up*

The Pwnhammer Problem
So, Pwnhammer..... It's a bad weapon but a good hammer. So here's a few possible changes
So... name says it all. The idea here is to replace the current Pwnhammer with a new version, and make the Pwnhammer a hallowed tier war hammer.
Stats!
Altar Crusher (place holder name)
(other possible names)
Justified - Scarecrow
Steam Roller - The Miniature Shark
Damage: 26
Power: 80%
Knockback: 7.5
Rarity:
Use time: 26
Tooltip: Strong enough to destroy Demon Altars
Yup, exact same stats. What were you expecting for a replacement?
Pwnhammer
(or possibly Mjiolnir as a new name)
Damage: 53
Power: 90%
Knockback: 8
Rarity:
Use time: 30
Tooltip: Strong enough to destroy Demon Altars
Crafted with:
x12
Simple enough, it's a warhammer crafted with hallowed bars
Comes with a jackhammer variant
Ham
(names needed, but if the Pwnhammer is renamed Mjiolnir, we can use Pwnhammer)
Damage: 31
Power: 90%
Knockback: 5
Rarity:
Use time: 15
Tooltip: Strong enough to destroy Demon Altars

Yep, nerfing all their hammer powers to below 80%, making the Pwnhammer necessary

So yeah, that’s the basic idea, and I'm done, yay!
Please comment and/or criticize!
