Throwing Hammer is a rune effect in Weapon Throw, a Fury-spending ranged attack Barbarian skill.

This rune effect changes the axe to a hammer, which retains the base skill damage but grants a 50% chance of stunning (rather than just slowing) the enemy, for a one duration second.

This turns the skill into more of a defensive tool, thanks to the very fast throwing rate guaranteeing a stun after a few quick tosses.
