how to beat hammerdins

[zeplin]

my barb is lvl 82, using coa, enigma, beast, ebotd(4 fricken 14), dracs, imps, raven, angelic combo and spider. the only char i have trouble with is hammerins, their so annoying and take no skill to use but hard to beat

I think these should explain all what's needed to be explained ^^

Totally can't see those files. Dunno why.

Anywho, this also used to piss me off about my barb. In the gang-bang pubbies, there's no real way. They'll get lucky, you'll run out of room, w/e.

In a nice 1v1, you have to play a way you're not used to....defensively! Strap on a widowmaker, slap an um in that bad boy, and pepper him with auto-hit arrows while unleashing OW. His only real recourse is to tele after you and try to hit you with hammers....run like hell, stay ahead of him, and try to get off a shot of two in his direction. Remember, you're slowly bleeding him until you can pounce, whereas 1-3 good hits from him and you're out of there. I know it sounds dicey, and it is, but I've won bets and tourney's with my barb using these tactics, and it's honestly your only real option anyway.

It is annoying that this is the barbs big weakness, the most over-done and hammy-ed up build in the game, but oh well, that's the price for being uber.

Besta luck to ya!

if it turns out that a Mangudai is one of the best ways to drop a hammerdin, I'm going to cry.
