Well I'll just say Laurencio got it, this was a simple question:
Is Thor still great without his hammer? And if so, how much?
The answer is: yes and very very much.
First of all, haters are failing to realize one thing, the 2nd surname of Thor is Mighty, HE IS NOT "The Mjolnir and his greatly overrated wielder", HE ISThe F**** Mighty Thor. And he is Half Asgardian / Half Elder God, so he is even greater than many other Gods, even from other pantheons and is the greatest asgardian, he has more power than even that of Odin, who stated that Thor's only flaw is to not know yet how to control such power fully.
Mjolnir is one of the greatest weapons in the Universe, I accept that without his hammer Thor isn't as great as he normally are, but from there, to saying that without his hammer he is nothing, is utter inocense, ignorance and stupidity. Those who says so, must show us canonical scans of Thor without his hammer being unable to: call rain, make rain fire, call lightnings, swipe the air and clouds of the nine realms to make a cosmic level storm, superbreath, make tornadoes, atmokinesis, electrokinesis, chronokinesis, flying by his own, controling the earth and other elements, using magic*, unchaining his physical powers, controling energy, not knowing martial arts in hand-to-hand** and many other stuff already told in this post. So probably he hasn't used all of this, nor he does 24/7 to be roughly patent, but these are his skill for he to use when he wants, all of wich he does by his own, being MJOLNIRLESS.
With Mjolnir he only amps, focus and redirect all of this and access much more, is Thor who empowers the Mjolnir, in return Mjolnir grants him it's own might to be one with the might Thor already have. BUT HEY!! Remember that Thor has the final weakness "Bad WIS/PIS" Only when Thor is written by a great artist, one that respect the canon and portray him properly, then you can see the real colors and the own light that this great comic character always had. And he totally have nothing to be ashamed about with or without his tool/weapon of work, that is integral to him and totally doesn't not depowers him as much as haters loves to think.
To end, let me show you how much @tensor is misleading us, here you can see the key parts that tensor is hiding on the Thor vs Apocalipse issue:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(*): You all got this magic thing wrong, first of all, Frigga mother of Thor taught him and Loki some basic magics, while Loki continued this trainings, Thor didn't like it so much bc he was more of close combat type, Odin must taught him other lessons in magic (norse mythos allows this, it's not crazyness of mine) and finally what he says is that he learned those magics only by the amount of time he watched Loki, so he learned that by himself, just by repeating what he saw and practicing in private, but he also watched many many times the likes of Frigga, Freija, Odin, Amora, Lorelei, Malekith, Mephisto, Morgan Le Fay, Karnilla and Dr. Strange doing magics. What makes you strive to think that he doesn't trained by himself some of all that he watched from this folks?
(**): This hasn't been a fully researched part of Thor, being an immortal with many milennia on his shoulders, and from a race of Warrior Gods, is stupid not to think that they have their own martial arts and fighting techniques, further more, his friend Hogun that lives and comes from a Mogul Reign within asgardian reach and is an allied Kingdom to Asgard, is a chinesque warrior, he surely knows and sure must taught foreign martial arts to Thor and the other Warriors Three. So there's more of Thor of that have already been told in comics, things he never needed to use (or writters forgot/not developed/failed to consider) when facing the greatest foes.
