Hammer of Wrath should not be resistible?
Posted: Sat Dec 19, 2015 12:42 amCurrently on Nostalrius, Hammer of Wrath is being partially resisted:

Before I write up a bug report, I'd like to get some feedback from my fellow Paladins - IIRC Hammer of Wrath functions in a similar fashion to Arcane Shot (which can be partially resisted), but Hammer of Wrath should not be. Instead, since it is on the melee attack table it can miss or be blocked but not dodged, parried or resisted as stated from WoW Wiki:
The attack is resolved as a ranged special-attack that does non-physical damage, similar to a Hunter's Arcane Shot. It can miss, it can be blocked (if the target is facing you), and it does double damage on a crit. Hit Rating and Crit Rating improve your chances of hitting and critting, respectively.

Then I get conflicting answer from Allkhazam from 2005:

Another thing for those of us who didn't pay attention in class -
Not only does it ignore armor (it's magic), it's also not resistable, there's no such thing as Holy Resist.

There's no way to increase your resistance to Holy, but it can and will be resisted when you need it most. That's just how RNGs work.
