Justice in Azeroth is in short supply, but merciless when it does arrive.^[1]

Hammer of Justice is a level 5 paladin ability. It gives the Paladin the strength to stun a hostile target for up to 6 seconds.

Tips and tricks

Useful to allow you to heal without interruption or to flee. This stun is one of the most flexible in the game, as it will not break due to damage or other spells being cast on the target, nor does it cause any amount of threat when used.
It cannot be used on a target that already has a Hammer of Justice stun active.
Most bosses and some high-level mobs are immune to Hammer of Justice.

Trivia

Hammer of Justice is one of Uther's Basic Abilities in Heroes of the Storm.
