Hammerdin

[Shaigon]

Hey, I was wondering if someone could hook me up with a sweet setup for a hammerdin? (By hook up I mean tell me, not give me)

Thanks ^^

[kingwillie]

as far as i know this works well....

Skillz:
20 BH
20 Vigor
20 Concentration
20 BA
rest in holy shield
1 redemption

kind of in that order too (maybe like alturnate skills in vigor and concentration o and put redemption lvl 30)

as for items:

1. Hoto (uber, expencive, cant get i? go wiz spike, suicide branch, or something in that sense)
2. HoZ
3. Enigma
4. 2x soj
5. shako
6. war travs (something with faster run walk. in this case for MF)
7. belt is variable (Verdungo's Hearty Coil is good)
8. Mara ammy

hope that covers it. happy hunting

Im starting a Hammerdin build of my own, so I was wondering if someone could give me the info on Blessed Hammer. I once heard something about how Hammers were weakened or there was a damage cap on Hammers now (not sure if its true). If it is true, how many +Skills d'you need before your Hammers stop doing more damage? If it's not true, could someone tell me what did happen to Hammerdins that made people say they'd been weakened? Thanks!

The poor mans setup for hammerdin (what i use on mine):

Wizspike
"Splendor" (2 Socket Shields Eth + Lum) on a high res pallyshield
Skin of vipermagi (Skullders for mfing)
Ring 1 Ravenfrost (need the dex)
Ring 2 nice rare with resist,FCR and mf
Shako (used Rockstopper for long time , just found my Harlequin )
Wartravs
Belt Archanids Mesh (Upped Goldwrap for mf)
My ammy is again a rare with +2 off.auras and other nice mods (Resist,FCR,mf)

He was doing fine in hell wihout the Shako , and i actually think the Spledor runeword is BETTER shield for hammerdin , little less dmg but about 4500dmg/hammer is enuff.

note:i have only 1 skillcharm , the hammerdin do just fine with "base" skillpoints....only kills little faster with more

How on earth could you possibly think that splendor is better than HOZ :scratch: ? You can't even get max block, not to mention all the +skills and 50 all resists your losing out on? Even rare paly shields are often better than splendor.

Splendor is good for Hammerdins (well...if i had a spare HoZ i would use it on my hammerdin too...but i dont.. )
Splendor :
+1 To All Skills
+10% Faster Cast Rate
+20% Faster Block Rate
+60-100% Enhanced Defense (varies)
+10 To Energy
Regenerate Mana 15%
50% Extra Gold From Monsters
20% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
+3 To Light Radius
Increase Maximum Durability 12%

and its cheap

I found a 40% res Sacred Rondache with 2 socks... all i miss out is the %block (but i have around 70% w. HS on) ... the + skills on the HoZ is great ... but not REALLY needed on an Hammerdin .... but fast cast , energy , regen mana ... and 20 MF% is great to have on hammerdin (if using him like me...doing MF

Splendor is good because they are easy to get.
