My friend and I have been talking about my level 83 Hammeridin and he suggests that i put some Goreriders on him, reason being that he believes that the deadly strike mod will carry over and help me do double damage with BH. I'm under the impression that damage enhance and deadly strike mods do not apply to Blessed Hammers. Can anybody clarify this issue for me? Will the deadly strike double my hammer damage? Would getting Laying of Hands help me do more damage to demons?

Also which is better for a Hammeridin: Shako or Crown of Ages. The reason I ask is that I feel that i do not have enough resists and would like to top out my resists in hell. (by topping out i mean at 90 resist all not 75) and it's probably alot easier to do it with a 2 um-ed CoA than a Shako. Is it worth the trade off? Or should I just load up on Shimmering Small Charms? :scratch:

The only thing that will enhance Hammer damage [aside from the obvious +skills and skill points] is the Concentration aura.

You should probably stick to the shako, and find your resists elsewhere.

um, hadunno about that deadly strike mod. That only apply to physical damage. BH is magic damage, so So don't use Gores. Also BH already has that extra 150% damage to demons, personally I think it does enough damage, so I'd rather get some fcr gloves, like magefist.

And if you want 90 resists, its up to you how you wanna do that one. I used perf Maras, GA, wizpike, HOZ, and an 15/11/5 anni. But shimmering charms sound good to me though.

Also COA is pretty nice,but I like the extra +1 skills and the life mod on shako, its just personal taste.

my hammerdin is lvl 82 with 90+ resists. he's using wizspike, shako, guardian angel, herald of zak, arachnid's mesh, magefist, 2sojs, maras, and infernostrides. i've got some resist charms too. you need the GA to get max resists. the wizspike is great for resists plus the fcr. just um ur shako and herald of zak for more resists.

Funny you should go for wizspike if you liked the plus skill mod. Personally I use Heaven's Light, that gives a plus 3 that the wiz can't match.

yeah but you lose the resist and faster cast rate which is way more important than the + to skills

going with 90-95% toall + some absorb but if you run maps where the monsters have conviction and/or lower resist you may want to go with a total of 250% resist. when in a hell game that would put you at 150% toall so when you get hit with conviction or LR you will still be at 95% toall.
