Mmoexp Elden Ring Items: Comparing the stat standardized AR

The other pair is the curved hammer and the hammer. They share the same basic moveset and the hammer is also longer. Let’s do the same thing we did for the club and the stone club. We see that their weight difference accounts for around 2.14 weight for the medium roll which translates to 2 or 3 endurance points without the equip load charms.

Comparing the stat standardized AR we immediately see the Hammer is just the superior option. Even if we account for the higher strength requirements on both the better hammers, you will still find them more desirable for the other infusions at meta PVP levels or any higher level since you will have access to even more skill points.

For Keen infusion, Monk’s flamemace is pretty much the only hammer that scales better to dexterity.

Lightning infusion is like the dexterity counterpart of fire. For PVP, lightning defense is always the lowest, so this is often more desirable than fire. If you really want to play hammers with dexterity that isn’t Monk’s flamemace, we suggest using lightning infusion over Keen infusion as lightning would give you comparatively more effective damage.
