Hammerdin

<< < (2/3) > >>

Olfmo:
the only aura working on the hammer is concentration and that do you have as a hammadin, so i think an a3 or a1 merc would be the best :)

Shinlos:
Only if u dont need a Blocker.
And I think u will need one.
Hammerdin is a Caster but has to Stand in the Middle of the Enemies to do much Dam.
The Problem is that he doesn't leech like Melee Chars.
So i think a Blocker (A2 or A5 Merc) is needed to make him receive not too much Damage.

arcadians:
Then would an act 3  not be better         then i would have    firepower to back me up and  the hammers have slow effect and knockback so would this not work out?

Tophead:
i think now with knockback  u dont need a blocker anymore, i would take the act 1 rouge because she knocks the death-archers away, they are ur hardest enemy i woudl say

webwalker:
I use a fire-arrow rogue for my skelliemancer, and in act one, Hell, I'm tempted to replace her.

The Immolation Arrow (Napalm Hose) prevents me from seeing anything in her area of effect.  And the fire area damage is rather small compared to hell monster life.  I equipped the Rogue to do elemental damage since my skellies take out anything that isn't physical-immune.  However, even with a weapon that has 200-300 fire and 200-300 cold damage plus 3 Zods plus her immolation Arrow effect, she is a very slow killer.

Her sanctuary aura is helpful, but the skellies would be more helped by Defiance or Might.  I hoped the Aura would do significant damage but things aren't that way.  Even with a ring giving +15 to sanctuary and +5 all skills in other items, her aura damage is very small.

Using a Rogue to help a Hammerdin...  I'd think an act5 barb would be the best blocker.  I'd give him FRW (Mr Sulu, go to warp factor 4) and crushing blow equipment so only Immune to Physical/Immune to Magic monsters are a bother, for that the pally needs a second attack method (Vengeance/Fanaticism since in Hell the barb supplies Conviction)
