==Notes==
===Knock downs===
*The four Hammer Mastery elites [[Devastating Hammer]], [[Backbreaker]], [[Earth Shaker]] and [[Magehunter's Smash]] provide a [[knock down]] without draining all adrenaline like non-elite options such as [[Hammer Bash]] and [[Yeti Smash]]. The elite [[Enraged Smash]] also provides an easily achieved conditional knock down.
*[[Forceful Blow]] is the only Hammer Mastery elite that does not cause knock down. [[Counter Blow]] is the only non-elite adrenaline skill to cause conditional knock down without draining all adrenaline. [[Irresistible Blow]] is the only non-elite energy skill to cause conditional knock down without draining all adrenaline.

===Skill analysis===
*Knock down features as a conditional in many Hammer Mastery skills; [[Belly Smash]] causes [[blind]]ness, [[Pulverizing Smash]] inflicts [[Weakness]], [[Dazed]] is caused by [[Overbearing Smash]], [[Crushing Blow]] causes [[Deep Wound]], and [[Renewing Smash]] grants instant skill recharge.
*Weakness also features as a conditional in many Hammer Mastery skills; [[Auspicious Blow]] becomes unblockable, [[Yeti Smash]] and [[Heavy Blow]] cause knock down. It can be applied using either [[Devastating Hammer]], [[Forceful Blow]], [[Pulverizing Smash]] or [[Staggering Blow]].
*[[Crushing Blow]], [[Fierce Blow]] and [[Pulverizing Smash]] are the only skills able to apply [[Deep Wound]] in Hammer Mastery and require the target to be knocked down or suffer from Weakness.
*[[Enraged Smash]] provides an unconditional method of generating adrenaline to fuel other non-elite Hammer Mastery skills; while [[Auspicious Blow]] and [[Mokele Smash]] are the only non-elite skills providing [[adrenaline]] and [[Energy]] gain.
*Along with [[melee attack]] skills, [[Dwarven Battle Stance]] also affects Hammer Mastery attack skills.
