Slam

Slams

Tooltip

Slams are Melee Attacks that cause damaging areas of effect, rather than Striking enemies with your weapon directly. Damage from Slams is still Melee damage.

Slam is a gem tag and a subset of melee and attack skills, and are mutually exclusive with the Strike tag. Slams always have the AoE gem tag.
