Why give us lameo hammers? Besides this one we will never use Conjuration again. Ugh, EQ and their limited thinkers.

You forget that alot of these spells are from early EQ when magical weapons were hard to come by. Ever try to hit a ghoul or willow wisp without one?

Well at least the hammers do eventually get better for Clerics. Pallys get super-hosed on undead specialty summoned hammers, this sorry excuse for a hammer here is the last one pally's can get. Even on a corpse run I wont summon this lamo piece of garbage, it isnt going to save me. I agree with the limited thinking statement. Let pally's get that hammer at 65 that Cleric get at 56.
Pallies should be getting better undead killing items than clerics anyway, after all whos the melee around here?

Yeah, because 8k slay undeads don't give paladins enough of an edge against undead already.

well, pallys need as much advantage as they can get. they're not as valuable as u clerics.
The thing you have to understand about clerics and weapons, is we get pretty hosed when it comes to weaps.
If I want to engage in a duel, I don't use my primary item off Vishimtar, because it is not a weapon. I don't use my weapon from Tacvi, because it has no proc. I don't use my PoTime hammer, because the proc doesn't work in duels. I summon my cleric summoned hammer and use that.
How pathetic is that? Our best duelling weapon, is our summoned hammer. My best soloing weapon is from PoTime. Bottom line, regarless of whether it is against undead, or not, a pally can buy a better dps weapon in the bazaar, than I can loot from any zone in the game.
Not that I am saying this is wrong, because clerics are not a tank, nor dps class. But to act like paladins are somehow shortchanged by not getting better summoned hammers, is just silly. Blade of disruption is about 5k thse days, and pretty much owns any cleric weapons for dps.

I can't help but disagree. This hammer is useful for whacking green con aggros on corpse runs, but thats not what I really am disagreeing with. Its more the statement about conjuration not being useful.
My 58 cleric has conjuration maxxed. First, with the amount of water and food my horse eats, I end up running out constantly, and and its a lot faster to summon a few stacks than to run to a merchant and buy (cheaper too).
Also, starting with the lvl 56 hammer, you actually get a GOOD hammer, and can even solo a little, not PoP mobs, but I was taking out dark blue frogloks on the dead side of lower guk, solo.
Which brings up the other use for conjuration. At level 56, you get a hammer pet. when soloing, even with the new hammers, DPS is kind of low. Fire up a hammer pet, and you've got nearly double damage output. I've parsed logs to see the damage output of my pet, over a whole fight, and he's done up to 2000pts damage, on one mob. Yes he poofs after the fight, but still, 2000 damage for 225 mana is pretty sweet.
My conjuration is MAXXED, and while I only used the low level hammers a few times, I sure DO use conjuration a LOT!
In fact, if I am full mana, or near, I will toss my pet into the fray, even in a group.
