Ima 80 hammerdin, doing close to 5k dmg with hammer with conc aura. I've seen hammerdins do like 13k dmg and I've always wondered how they get that much damage. I'm not that far away from maxing out conc and blessed aim so I don't see how 5k can escalate to 13k.

Almost every slot of their gear is filled with +skills stuff. Add in the charms and voila...damage in the tens of thousands.

my hdin does 11k with no bo..
enigma, arachs mesh, hoz, hoto, shako, 2 pally crafted ammy, ptorch, anni, are where I get my extra skill points, I think that if I had sojs or bk, wore tear haunchs, and had some skill charms I would hit the 13k.. 11k seams to be enough for everywhere in the game except the ubers themselves.

wore tear haunchs

Tear Haunches do not increase your hammer damage

Tear Haunches do not increase your hammer damage

tearhaunch = +2 vigor = +dmg from synergies.

+ Skills do not add to synergiy damage. Only hard points spent in the synergy are effective.

Add in the charms

I use standard hammerdin gear and I have no charms except anni. Not even a pally torch. Forced to use a sorc torch for resists >_>. I still do 11k damage.

Just to clarify, they used to in 1.10 (Marrowwalk bug) but don't any more.

+skills never did offer syngery bonuses.

I knew I something felt wrong when I wrote about the Marrowwalk bug - thanks for correcting!

I only got +6 skills from my st00f, 10 less than you. 10 more lvls for an extra 6k dmg... I guess it makes sense. Out of me reach though.

I hate to even ask this, but is concentration running on your right side, with BH on left click...just have to make sure when you have a damage that low.

If i didn't have conc on, I would be doing less than 2k dmg...

yea all about +skill items, admante.

+2 skill ammy, or +2/3 combat ammy (plain or otherwise) is fairly easy to find, and a lot of +1 skill helms are either easy to find, or cheap to trade for. add a couple cheap +2 skill spirits (sword and shield) and a fairly inexpensive +1 Vipermagi, and you should have at least +8 right there, along with some FCR from spirit and viper.

more expensive +skill bits are Arachnid Mesh, SoJ/BK rings, anni, torch and so forth.

I mainly mf though

Equipment:
Stealskull-44 mf
Que-Hegan's-ptopazed
Verdungos-I forget the stats
Chancies-32 mf
Wartravs-33 mf i think
Spirit Crystal sword
Spirit gilded shield
+1 pally, 10 fcr, something else ammy
Nagel-28 mf
I forget my other ring

If I want to mf, will i always be low dmg? The only exception for this would be enigma (i wish), and jewelry.

What's your res? I just tried diablo run and got slaughtered.

But, nice +19 all skills

there are pieces of equipment that will offer both MF and +skills (Shako, Enigma) but generally speaking these are more expensive.

for the most part, increasing MF means decreased killing speed, or more easily dying. where that MF/killing speed line is will vary from player to player.

you can easily get another +4 or 5 skills from changing your helm and ammu, 3 to pcomb diadem and ammu can be found or gambled from anya. Anni's are cheap and will also add another skill.

Clarify on how cheap?

As it stands an unid anni is roughly ist on east right now. A low one would be much cheaper.
