Need Advice/Opinions: Hammerdin/Charger

[anonymite]

I'm making a Hammerdin/Charger (I think it's called a Liberator), but with a more extreme distribution of skills/stats. Could anyone who has built one let me know if this is viable, or if I'm messing up somewhere:

Skills:
20 Hammer
20 Charge
20 Vigor
20 Aim
10-20 Might (the final skills dumped here)
5 Prereq's
1 Concentrate
1 Fanatacism
1 Holy Shield

Equip:
Shako | Enigma | Arach
Trang Gloves | War Trav's
+2/FCR/ML/Res Ammy | SOJ | SOJ
Wep1: HoTO | HoZ
Wep2: Dimensional Grief | HoZ

The stats are going completely into Vita. Base Everything else.

The big difference is I'm gonna get a Pride Merc. This means my hammers will still hit uber damage if im partied with another hammerdin, and my charge will benefit from Might/Conc/Fanat ALL in the high teens on at the same time. I expect it to kick a fair abount of ***. If just want to make sure I'm not missing something before I invest all the HRs to build this monster. So any help/advice appreciated.

Block block blockity block. Get max block,points spent in dexterity for that purpose aren't a waste,non max block is the real waste. I would max concentration and leave might at base,your charge will have enough damage even with 1pt might anyway. Dimensional grief? Phase blade has -30 base speed (very fast), dimensional has 0 (not so fast).

Yes block block block you'll learn to love that clinking sound. Dimensional grief is ok if it's cheap since charge isn't affected by IAS and the dex req on PB is 136; max block at lvl 90 is ~131.
DO NOT USE A PRIDE MERC!! You'll have a piss-weak aura (with aura on yourself you'll have ~lvl 40. Also he will die in approx. 0.1 hits from any char. If you want that high hammer damage just make a hammerdin with a grief in your stash vs. bowazons, trappers, fohers, etc

[kingdryland]

No,dimensional grief is a lousy idea. Liberators can hit max smite with 65% total ias if they use grief phase, without fana that is. That means a 35% ias grief needs only bloodfists and highlord's to do so. Dimensional will have horrible resale value as well.

IMO libbys shouldn't be continuously smiting, only for the KB effect and damage so that you can charge again/make a hammer field. I was saying that if you can get a dimensional grief for cheap, go for it.
