Not sure if it got nerfed, I haven’t played in a while. The throwing hammer didn’t have great range but usually enough to throw it from outside of an enemy’s aggro range. And the best thing about it was that with a fully charged throw it would knock down a lot of enemies, it was amazing to initiate combat with a knockdown from range and then run in and smash them.

I ran dual greathammers with this and the smith’s hammer that you can throw. One of the most fun builds I’ve ever played, insane damage and surprisingly fast for such a heavy build.
