Can they use hammers?

[Thorval]

I hope dwarf runeprists can use hammers, not just sticks. I like dwarfs who are healing classes and can use a hammer.

I think rune priests will be using staffs the whole time as it says in the description

Rune Priest Look
Well armored in medium, rune-inscribed armor
Wields an ornately carved rune staff
Marks all his equipment with runes of power and protection

but if you look at a picture of one: http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/media/images/careers/Runepriest07.jpg
its a staff that has a hammer motif as a head piece.

Most classes have a signature weapon-style. It's iconic and promotes silhouetting. Sorry, mate.

Well I think they have a various assortment of staves. As said before by me in another thread and by Litanyofhate many of their staves look like long handled hammers. Observe in this video.

Like others have said, the Runepriests use staves (some with hammer-esque motifs on the ends) but aren't really hammer-wielders. If you love hammers, you should try out the Hammerer! Arrrgh!! Why bother healing when you can smash in some skulls?

If you really need hammer-wielding healer love, then you might have to put up with elevated altitudes, as the Empire's Warrior Priest is the only one who comes close.

Not a hammer, but it looks like one. ;)

The last one there is probably a hammer, but it looks a little staff'ish to me.
