best hammer for damage, but nerg hammer is also great in that your build can be much more flexible. I like to run wide range 5 and other QoL skills with nerg's hammer rather than put all my skills into damage, sharpness, crits and maybe master's touch for this one

just about the best thing you can get before nergigante’s death hammer.

Interesting I would love to see the DPS comparsion with the Rajang Ham, if Non-Elemental Boost makes up for 100 raw damage. Knowing how crazy that skill made the Diablos Ham..... it probably does out perform everything else.

This is likely the Meta hammer. -With crit eye 7, crit augment, weakness exploit 3, it hits 100% crit on soft spots -Has purple sharpness with Handicraft 5 -Very high base damage
This hammer goes B O N K.
