In that guide it is 1.10 beta and i'm wondering if someone can help me out with this excert:
"Charge – if you want a support skill, this one is your best bet. It deals a ton of damage in 1 hit, isn’t affected by IAS so using Concentration isn’t a problem, and has a common synergy with Blessed Hammer (Vigor), so you only need a decent weapon on switch to use it effectively. The problem is Charge is currently very buggy in the beta, that’s why I decided not to spend points in it, but it should be fixed in the final release. 1-20 points"

Can someone tell me how many points I should put in according to 1.11b

1 point.

Charge will be useless if you're using HoTo or Wzzy. Good for Liberators with Grief who are meant to go Charge/Hammer hybrid, but if you're pure Hammer stick with Holy Shield or even Res Lightning. You will never use Charge with a "caster wep" except for transportation.

Charge may not need the ias that fanaticism gives,but it certainly needs the ar. And concentration lacks that as well.If you want to have an effective charge you need to keep a charging weapon on switch that is brutal and itd,like grief. But in pvm environment I don't see why a hammerdin needs charge as attack.

And if you use if for transportation make sure you don't have you're Hoto in an eth weapon or you may accidentally hit someone with it and lose durability.

you shouldnt ever give your pala an eth hoto anyways so you can gain the benefit of hotkeying and using oak.

So is there another attack for a hammerdin? Ie something to use in corridors or narrow hallways where hammers arent getting to the back of the pack where there are archers shooting at you like crazy?
