I just completed the timeline quests of the Age of Winter monolith timeline, and throughout the whole thing, the Heoborean Warriors seem to absorb hammer throw, when I have hammers that spiral and pierce everything else normally. Not a big deal since those parts are easier.
But then in the final fight against Heorot, the wolves he summons also absorb hammer throw. It ended up being an extremely long and annoying fight because I was massively swarmed by these wolves since hammer throw is my biggest DPS skill and it could only kill 1 at a time. (I had to use smite as my main attack skill because of this problem and it is weaker)
