View Full Version : my first experience with uber tristam
I was in trade channel and someone spammed "join mdr1///099 for uber tristam"
I joined the game...went to a5 and there was uber tristam as promised. The game filled up really fast...And I boldly went into the tp first.
The first thing i noticed was that you cant Make Tps while in the place. Apparently Uber Diablo and Uber baal were already dead and just Uber mephisto survived.
So we messed around for a good amount of time until everyone regrouped and started to take on Uber meph.
With salvation from another pally and a really good tank barb...we took him down pretty fast.
Sure enough he died and dropped a ton of standard hero things and one large charm. I clicked furiously like everyone else and to my surprise in my inventory was an unid large charm and 2 standard of heros.
I identified it

I thought you couldn't hold more than one of the hero thingies?
Could probably find this out somewhere but I'm lazy so: You can't hold more than one of those Hellfire charms at a time can you?

noone gives respect to them fhr >< makes teleing so much safer
and wizzy is there for the fcr
Sip, can I ask why bloodfists and why wizzy?
There isnt a better set of glooves in the game if you can add them and get your rez. I used them on my Trappers when I had BO otherwise I went Frostys.
That charm + Anni = too much
Ever thought of giving the charm to the guy who gatherd up all the body parts?
Decency we call it
is wizzy better than hoto? I'm not a big hammerdin fan...i'm pretty good with the mid lvl dueling hammerdin but for a high lvl pvm hammerdin i've only built one before on non ladder and didnt research any of it.
I've got hoto enigma shako etc from my BS necro that is kind of moot now so i want to make a high lvl hammerdin to run nihli and keys etc.
what are the fcr and fhr bp's i NEED to reach. for me fcr is priority over fhr. and since i'm not gonna afford combat charms like i assume sip has there, the +3 from hoto would be nice. I'll be missing out on a bit of res from wizzy but if I go hoto/magefist i can make up the fcr easily i would think.
Input is appreciated! :)

Yes wizzy is better than hoto...I made my hammerdin a long time ago and i couldnt afford Hoto. I Was able to reach the breakpoint for fcr (75%) using wizard spike, arachnids and a rare fcr ring. I can afford hoto now, but i would need to change alot of my equipment to make it viable. I would also loose life, fhr, resists and mana just for a few more skills which i dont need.

I have to disagree on this one. Yes, wizzy is better when you compare the cost to the usefulness but if you can afford one, you just can't beat a hoto.
The FCR is really not too hard to make up. More so if you use an enigma instead of viper but you can still get most of it with gear that you would have used anyway. Same with the resists. Easily made up.
My question was more of why bloodfists and wizzy combo, instead of hoto+trangs for the fcr.
The only thing I see you losing is a little life and fhr and some mana(who cares about mana). And are you sure you don't need those +skills? I can bet you don't take down the uber brothers in only a few hits. I imagine every +skill helps.
woops
I meant to say Hoto is better than wizzy.
The only reason im not using hoto is because of what i said above...Ill have to change around too much of my gear and end up loosing lots of life, mana, and resists.
when i switch to hoto i gain about 1.5k hammer damage
awesome, thanks guys. i figured hoto anyways.
I've got hoto enigma shako hoz maras arachnids lined up.
what boots? and rings? do i need anymore fcr? hoto/trangs/arachnids would cover that 75% bp right so I shouldnt need a ring leaving me open for sojs?
the Standard cookie cutter would be...
Shako, Maras, Enigma, Hoto, Hoz, 2x bk/sojs, arachnids, trangs/mages, waterwalks/war travs, Cta/spirit switch.
I'd say 90% of l33t hammerdins follow those exact same item choices.
For some reason Tearhaunch are popular too. (Not that odd... Stats, Res, +2 to Vigor which you probably don't need...)
