As the title suggests I'm trying to decide between Hotspurs and Aldurs on a hammerdin/liberator/smiter type.

Both give ABOUT the same amount of fire resist (45)
Main difference is 15 life from hotspurs + 15 to max fire resist
versus
+50 life from Aldurs.

Aldurs has 40% faster r/w but I'm under the impression that when using charge/vigor (or just charge) fr/w doesn't affect charge speed.
Please enlighten me if I am wrong about this.

I'm leaning towards hotspurs because of the +15 max fire resist which would help alot against fire sorcs.
HOWEVER, I'm not sure how effective this +15 is going to be. Aldurs gives 35 more life / more defence so is better vs anyone except fire sorcs/ the occassonal fire druid.

No, I cbf switching in hotspurs for use against fire casters. I want to stick with one.

Waterwalks, though they do provide +5 max fire res and a massive amount of life/dex do not add any hard fire resist, thus unfortuneatley they are not an option (need fire res)

I think my question can be summed up as: how effective is +15 max fire res?

thanks

if there was one single item in the game that does to Blessed Hammers what Hotspurs do to Fireballs, EVERYONE would want one.

hotspurs are pure cheese, you shouldn't need them.
