Used slam and breakthrough the moment the patch came and honestly, my favourite set up that never uses second wind. Been loving it with round shield/heater since it even blocks attacks during the animation.
Slam is good and Fawn is getting some use out of it but nowhere near full potential. Using slam for some damage on the initial engage is one of the least useful applications. It can be used to knock enemies out of the door-close to make it through. Also can be used to knock clerics out of smite/sanctuary. Knock sorcs out of lightning bolt. Knock wizards out of MM. Knock mob back when you get trapped. Knock players off ledges because it is funny :P. Makes shields immune to the stagger of heavy weapons during the slam animations (example: can be used to block a war-maul with no stagger, during the slam animation). Can be used to space against weapons shorter than yours (example: ambush rogue) by slaming the enemy away then using the reach of your weapon (example: viking sword, or morning star) to out-space their weapon for 1 free hit. TLDR: Shield slam is good, but you have to put some time and effort in to learn it.
You left a pulverizing prayer on the loot table
