Hammerdin Switch Gear (for ubers)

[jkjoker]

Okay

My setup is as follows

2/20/16dex/15 res all circlet
MP enigma
Wizzy
Spirit ST
+2 Pally ammy (blue )
Rare mf boots
Trangs
Tal's belt
Ravenfrost
10 FCR/stats/res ring

I need a switch that will allow me to solo minubers (possibly ubers, though not a priority)

I also want it to fit in a cube

Stuff I know i need

Lifetap wand
Cats eye/highlords
Drac's gloves


My question is: should i go with a black flail/guillames for 70 Crushing blow but 8 FPA smite

or 4*shael'd Phase for 6fpa but only 35 Crushing blow (but use of the +2 ammy)

or sacrifice the space and add in a pair of goblin toes and go with the 4*shaeld Phase ofcourse

My only real worry is Lilith, as I have yet to kill here with my smiter (albeit a really poor budget one) without BO.

Also, for ubers, I think I would only need

Treachery for prebuff right?

Shael Wizzy for Uber meph - 75 res
hellfire + anni + charms - 40 res
4 pdiamond shield - 110 res
Anya -30 res
Fade prebuff - 60 res

total res all 315

then for baal/diablo I could just put on the phaseblade/flail and kill then.

I'm going to test it out today regardless but I would like some advice.

Also this is ladder, and while I could get a CTA/Grief/Last Wish if I really wanted to, I don't, so keep comments within the the confines of my gear/cheap gear.

WEAPON:

This is a simple question of arithmetic.

1) With guillame's and black: in 240 frames, you get 30 attacks, so you can expect 21 applications of crushing blow, since you have a 70% chance to do CB.

2) With guillame's and more ias: in 240 frames, you get 40 attacks, so you can expect 14 applications of CB, since you have a 35% chance to do CB.

3) With Guillame's, more IAS and Goblin Toe: in 240 frames, you get 40 attacks, so you can expect 24 applications of crushing blow, since you have a 60% chance to do CB.

The first setup is much better than the second one. The third setup is a little better than the first, applying CB 3 more times than the first every ten seconds. Those mf boots don't do any good in uber trist, so go with goblin toe.

RESISTS:

I wouldn't count the Anya bonus in your resistance. If you die, you may have to leave the game and reenter, tempting bnet to ruin it. Either don't die, or leave the anya quest out of your calculations.

It looks like you're going for 90 res. 75 was fine for me. Unless I'm mistaken, Meph's aura gives -125 res.
