First of all, hello to everyone.
Long time browser/first time post, etc, finally bothered to register, etc. just came from a long absence after news of patch 1.13 as I'm sure some others have.
I wanted to make a pure hammerdin for pub pvping with 1 point in smite and fanat for occassional use vs certain opponents. I would be using pure hammerdin equipment, not a hybrid set-up.
Bearing this in mind I had a couple of questions:
1. grief zerker or phase blade?
(iirc one has better range one and one has greater speed?)
2. which shield for smite?
I don't fancy smiting with a spirit sacred targe. I was thinking exile because it gives life tap which I won't be getting from any other equipment due to pure caster gear. Lots of people say HoZ though so I'm not exactly sure. I'm not concerned about BM if that's what prevents people from using exile--I mean it's a pub..not a 5 star restaurant..if you catch my drift
----------------------
On a different note: SKILLS
this is what my skill set up will probably look like (pretty standard)
DEF:
prayer-1
defiance-1
cleansing-1
vigor-20
OFF:
might-1
blessed aim-20
concentration-20
fanat-1
COMB:
holy bolt-1
smite-1
charge-1
blessed h-20
holy shield-1
That totals 89 skill points, leaving me with about 12 spare at lvl 90
I'm not sure where to put these 12 extra skill points.
I was thinking maybe Holy Shield for obvious passive bonuses as well as smite dmg bonus?
other options might be LiteRes for passive increase (although imo 2 skill points for 1 max res is pretty lame)
smite?
fanat?
none of the above?
better off quitting now and making a potion thrower ?
btw like i said this is for pvp...i don't see skills like meditation, redemption, salvation worth consideration unless you can persuade me otherwise.
all input welcome
thanks alot,
Aidz
