With this new patch, its description reads, 'Increase the damage of Blessed Hammer to 640% weapon damage as Holy and increase its area of effect by 20 yards.' Previously, each hammer spawned had a chance to create an additional hammer.

Blizzard said this was done at least in part due to performance issues with the way it worked before (where critical hits caused blood explosions).
