First I just wanna say that I have read the other hammerdin posts, and this might mainly be a compilation of those, but i just want to be 100% certain before I go ahead with it Smile

Helm: +2 Combat, 20% FCR, (life/str/mana) Rare Circlet (pruby)
Armor: 35res Vipermagi (pruby)
Boots: Sander's Riprap
Gloves: Magefist
Belt: Magic 75+ Life
Ammy: +2 Combat, 10 FCR (life/str/mana)
Weapon: 10FCR, +3 BH, +3 Conc
Shield: 35FCR, 44 Res All Spirit Runeword
Rings: 2x SOJ
Switch: Insight
Charms: 15life/(mana)

Total:
+5 all skills
+4 combat skills
125 FCR (best break)
55 FHR (3rd best break)
75++ Res All

Skills:
Max BH
1 Charge
1 Holy Shield
1 Conc
Rest Blessed Aim (15 i think)

Stats:
If all goes well on the items, I should be able to put almost all in vit.

Notes:
Hellfireclanx said he didnt need fhr that much on his hammerdin, and when I played my bonenecro I didnt really either so thats why I chose not to use a Spirit sword and I went with the high life belt instead of a rare fhr/life/str belt. I might keep a string and just play with which one of those I like better, but im thinking the life. Insight should solve any mana problems im hoping. But if it turns out I dont have mana probs I will keep a +3 holyshield/spirit on switch for precasts, or a +3foh/convic for pubby fun but i doubt it.

Okay, well thats all I have right now, please let me know what you think Smile

Im not a fan of a hammerdin but i always consider stats saved for life ratio.....

like id rather use cow king boots because it gives 20 stats
vs sanders which gives 15.

saves 5 stats (5 stats put in vit = 15 more life or 10+ more mana)

unless u dont plan to block OR, you've already hit your max block, then sanders i guess is for wat ever str u need.

you could use a string of ears instead of the life belt...

Everything looks good to me, you have meditation on switch and the ability to charge to get around, and what looks like decent damage. Also the weapon could be improved upon, it's good don't get me wrong but if you are ever looking for something to improve you could look for a 2 combat skills/3 blessed hammers/20fcr (i believe that is the best) but that weapon is still very good. Also you might want to have a Death Sash in your inventory to switch out in case of a blizz sorc.

20 Fcr cant spawn on weapons anymore well scepters your going to have to look for a old classic weapon for that personally i prefer spirit besides the skills and fcr and fhr it gives u alot of life/mana which does help in duels and hammers

Icanneverwin- thanks for the tip Smile

should I max block for the hammerdin? im thinking yes.

shdw_DeathAdder- yes i mentioned the string in my notes already.

ChasingChickens- that would give me less dmg Wink

l337h4x0rz- if im running out of mana or i need the fhr ill go spirit, but a 3bh/3conc/10fcr would deffinitly give more dmg then spirit, though spirit is a great alternative Smile

ack sorry forgot conc helps hammers, I'm in conc barb mode right now, thinking of conc as an attack Rolling Eyes

looks good

first off though, you can only get blessed hammer to lvl 13... so just put 13 in hammer, max blessed aim, and 3 in conc

i use tearhaunch for res and some stats and vigor... but vigor isn't important, just handy at times. I also have more stat points and a heavy shield so I can afford using the 70 str req boots.

yea u'll definintely want max block, im not sure if u intended to or not because you never mentioned it
with holy shield it shouldn't be too much of a dex problem.

I would keep a spirit crystal sword in stash and use it vs necros. Not only would you gain more fhr and life and mana, with + magic absorb on both the sword and shield, and mdr on the viper and string of ears, lld necros would do very little damage to you. I doubt losing +1 bh and conc would change the number of hammers it would require to kill a lld nec.

I'm just wondering... what hotkeys will you use on your hammerdin?
