View Full Version : How can I get my Hammerdin from 90% to 95% resist all ?
I am currently level 89 at the end of hell, with resists of 81/90/90/90 in hell.
Wearing a GA, Hoz, Shako,Nats Boots, 2 nagle rings.A crafted Caster Ammy with resists, A wizard Spike, and a Gold wrap.
I can get my fire resist to 90% with another charm or two.
Is there anything I can use to get 95% to all ?
thanks all.
I am assuming that is PvP paladin (overwise any resistance over 75 is waste).
T-gods will bring you lighting resistance to 95
Waterwalk boots will bring your fire resistance to 95
(both in conjuction with GA)
I should have added, I am strictly PvM as I don't duel.
Mmm then why you want have 95 (heck even 90)? My hammerdin running at 75 resist all (~63-70 if I got hit with conviction) and have zero problem against any elemetal attacks. Only case then I am using T-gods over Arachnids is black souls during Baal run (which push my lighting resist to 85 and give me +20 lighting absorb). True to be told my hammerdin have pretty high MDR (30+), 15% fire absorb and 20% cold absorb and so far the only case then I have to retreat a bit is then I hit with Amp damage and under heavy physical damage attack. In other words I'd personally use upgraded Viper over GA (higher deffence + FCR + extra resist + MDR!) for PvM
With the gear I have on now, I am at 90 for all except fire which is 81. I just wanted to see if I could hit 95. It's a nice feeling being able to tank souls. If I go all MF gear, then I drop to 75.
I am not sure if it's work this way with souls my friend ... Well honestly I never tried (I have GA stashed just in case). I know for sure that with 85LR and 20 lighting absorb if backsouls dont have conviction added or/and I not been cursed with Amp damage I dont take any damage from em. I know alternative way is using wisp protector (if your lighting resist not very high). But now I understand where you comming from jump from 90LR to 95LR should reduce lit damage on your 2X. Again I'd like to mention that for such continious attacks like lighting MDR is extemely powerfull tool

Drop the HoZ and use a plain socketed pally shield with 4 perfect diamonds that has a resistance bonus to the shield. One of my current shields has +114 to all resist. Combine that with a wizardspike and that should cover everything. And this is with no Atma resistance quests.
I guess Um runes could be used as well but that would put you over 95%.

IMO it's not worth dropping the great stats of the HoZ for a 4 pdiamond shield. Complete waste.
As others have stated he should just wear a Thundergod's.

Trying to think of my Hammerdin....
3 Anya quests = 30 res
HoZ w/ UM = 72 res
Wiz Spike = 75 res
Maras Kaleidoscope Amu = 20 res (lowest)
That should give you 197 total resists...that should be just enough to get 95% res in Hell with the Guardian Angel. Then you throw on a Ravenfrost/Dwarfstar/Wisp Projector for elemental absorb.
guys ... you missing point - person asking how he can get from 90 resist all (with GA) to 95% resist all what gear he need...
so he looking on +% to max resist gear to he can brake mark 95 everythere not for + row resist

Who is this?? Tarzan?? I didnt understand a thing you just said.
Who is this?? Tarzan?? I didnt understand a thing you just said.
All right here is same thing but simplied a bit for you..
Author dont looking how to increase "hidden" resistance (hint: normally 75 is maximim displayed resistance) he looking how make sure that he can achive potentially 95% resistance cap (instead of 75). With GA you have cap of resistance 90 (75+15). If you put also hsarus set on then you will be at cap of 95 (75+15+10) but since you cannt hit mark 100 resist and become immune to all maximum displayed resistance will be 95...
From here - if you dont want to give up HOZ I know couple items that will bring up some resistance to potential cap of 95...
T-god will raise you LR cap by 10 point so with GA you'll have 95 on LR
Waterwalk will raise you FR cap by 5 points and with GA you'll also able hit mark 95

Combine that with a wizardspike and that should cover everything. And this is with no Atma resistance quests. I guess Um runes could be used as well but that would put you over 95%.
Why in the blazes would I drop the HOZ ?? Id lose the resists it gives me as well as lose a significant amount oh hammer damage that I gain from its +to skills.
I know UM runes will help, but I have none at the present time.

Not an option for me either, as I want to keep my current gear and aquire specific parts like Tgods to use as needed. Also IAS is useless for me as a Hammerdin.
And yes most of you missed the point here, I was asking what gear I could use to get from 90 max to 95 max resist While retaining most of my current gear as is. I dont' have high end runes/rune words, so those are out of the question as well.
Well.....
My hammerdin has maxed resistances at 75. nothign really effects me. More than 75 is a waste. (UNLESS YOUR PVP). I carry a t-gods when Im running baal.

HOZ with a perfect diamond gives a +78 resist to all. The 4 socket p-diamond shield I suggested with a base resist of lets say +38 resist to all gives a total resist of 110. So far as I know, HoZ only gets one socket when given to Larzuk.
In any event, I thought that your priority was the resist and was under the impression you were willing to sacrifice some hammer damage for a short while just to figure out how to get that 95 resist to all.
I have a HOZ on loan from a friend on these forums, so I cannot socket it. But when I do end up with my own, I will likely add an Ist rune since my hammerdin is used mostly for MF.
I wa slooking for specific items(mentioned already) to use when the need arises. EX : Add tgods when facing Souls, so they heal me instead.
There is a Hammerdin Guide stickied in this forum for those that asked.
Btw, at level 89, I do just over 7k hammer damage woth hammer ans synergies in the 27/29 skill point range.

You can't do it. You're poor and ignore the only person who answered you with this ^ You want 5% more all res, but you won't change any gear.
You asked "How can I get my Hammerdin from 90% to 95% resist all ?"
I told you.
Now you want something different. Go to the Summit look under uniques that add + to max res for each individual one. Do your own damn work.

Who the hell do you think you are ?
You are not the only person that answered so do not act like you are.
Irathas may be a good set, but I would rather stick with what I have and subititute items when needed. No way would I remove what I have for Irathas, the cons outweigh the pros of it.
Sorry Knucklehead but I am not poor, If I was, I would not be giving away stuff here and there, Nor would my Hammerdin or any of my other characters be half as good as they are.
I bet I am actually better off than you are.
It's not my problem that you can't read either.
I do my own damn work quite often, hence the reason I answer so many other posts around here when others ask for help.
I though that maybe someone else on these forums might have thought of something that I did not. I am not an all knowing person like you think you are. Nor do I have the time to browse the Summit during the day while I am at work. Maybe you do, but I do not.
GA, Exile, TGods, Andy/Venomgrips (or some such).

The GA I have, Exile maybe at some point, Tgods, Andy/Venomgrips I can get. We ..er most of us covered it.. Thanks though.
Runemaster will take your cold resist to 95

Said the pot to himself.
God who hired you and for what? I pray you're just a kid flipping burgers still.
If not than here is an :idea: go to a real university and get a proper education.

I did not know Trolls could speak!
Actually, I am just a kid flipping burgers still...and making $ 19 an hour doing it !
I do have a prober edjumakation ... you should try it. It would held your attitude and raise your IQ from -6 to something normal.

Keep working son. You have to do a lot better than that before you start bragging. And I noticed that you couldn't defend your poor posting skills. Good job :thanks:

I am doing a lot better than that, but it is none of your buisness. As far as my posting skills, a little sarcasm seems to have gone far with you. I'm just baiting you, and you are still reacting as expected.
Oh well, post as you like I am not going to go ad nauseum with a fool

I really wish i would have kept that link, that described the different types of forum posters and how they act and react to stuff. It hits the nail so dead on.
Like for example: The "Agressor" a poster who will react to any flame as if they were defending for their life. Usually the agressor can be baited with no effort.

---------------to max resists----------------
3 Anya quests = 30 res
I could UM my shako instead (+15 rez all)
HoZ w/ UM = +72 res all
HOTO = +32 res all
T-gods will bring you lighting resistance to 95 (no arachnid -1 all skillz)
Waterwalk boots will bring your fire resistance to 95
Venomgrip will get poison to 95
(all in conjuction with UM'd GA +15 res all)
Runmaster can cover the cold, but I would not trade My HOTO for it, so is there anything else to max cold?
----------------current gear----------------
Shako +2 All (P topazed)
Magic Ammy +3 Combat Skill (no maras but found this, and it'll do)
Enigma +2 All --or-->(Up'd and Um'd GA is also an option =+1)
Hoz +2 All +2 Combat (I don't know if I should ist, um, or perf dimond)
HOTO +3 All
2 soj'z +2 All
Arachnid Mesh +1All (I also have vergungos)
2xCombat skill charms (+2 Combat skills)
Anni charm (1/19/19/10) +1All
(I also have +28 resists in charms and a perfect gheeds)
Perf War travs and either frostburns, chance guards or magefists depending on current situation. I may exchange the Enigma with my Up'd and Um'd GA if I allow the strength stat points for it.
skillz-
Max blessed hammer
Max blessed aim
Max vigor
Max concentration
leftovers into holy shield, meditation, redemption, salvation, and cleansing. I stop Lvl'ing my characters at 90.
For now, the total endgame Bhammer = lvl 40!!!
With Max'd resists BHammer = lvl 38, not a bad compromise...
:uhhuh:
