Hammer damage without conc aura?

I was just wondering, do hammers do enough damage without the concentration aura, if you max out the other synergies? I have no experience with hammerdins, never built one on 1.10 patch due to many many clones :)

Running an idea through my head for pvp.

Well for PvP, in my duelling circle you cannot use the Concentration aura.
A fully synergised BH without the concentration aura will do about 2-3K damage IIRC.
I can clarify this later however when I get home from work.

Thanks ... I'm not sure if that's going to be enough damage to scare people away in pvp - my idea is to use holy freeze instead of conc - don't ask :p

Reason I'm asking, I'm thinking of making an offensive frost ranger w/ hammers as defense support ... don't know if it will work, but if hammer damage is enough this will I think. Suggestions?

Mine is a vindi/ranger with hammers as defensive support. It won't kill barbs instantly or ww sins but heck, you could probably tank them enough for them to die on a few hammers.

You can turn Conc on in PvP in a few different cases; A) Some times against melee chars who have no quick way of getting to you before you can toss a few hammers out and hotkey teleport/vigor or B) With very fast reflexes, you can hotkey Conc while teleporting around...but that tends to be dangerous.

Anyway, without any charms or an Anni, my Hammerdin is doing about 3.2k damage without Conc.

Most you could get is 4k without conc, thats how much I got from my Hammerdin.
Mind telling me what gear you were using to achieve that? Thanks

Hmm.

I was thinking for skills:

20 freeze
20 res cold
10 salvation
20 blessed hammer
20 vigor
10 blessed aim

Basic idea:
On widow switch: Good cold damage, max OW, decent fps shot, little DR
On hammer switch: Decent hammer damage, max DR, decent fps cast

I still have to finish making the equip setup for the pally, and I'm still not sure what charms to use. If offensive charms are even better for damage, I might even switch up the skill setup to 10 in conc instead of blessed aim and just use conc hammers on switch. If not I will stick with combat gcs and keep the 10 in blessed aim. Any thoughts?
