Hammerdin in pvp

I didn't find a good thread about this or maybe I was just too lazy.

So how good hammerdins really are in pvp? I think they simply can't catch necromancers, fohers, sorceresses, trapsins or even amazons some times. They are very good at killing barbarians and melee characters anyway, but is the hammerdin anyway only for pvm and all kind of mf runs?

I have tried using charge to kill hard-to-catch foes because I have on point in charge anyway but this really works against sorcs and necros only because they are like characters who have the lowest defence... fohers and auradins have good enough def to resist charge and with hammer its no-go to kill them..what are your thoughts about hammerdin pvp? Just wanted to share mine:badteeth:

Well if you use an enigma and 125fcr, then you got urself a pretty good tele speed to be able to catch all but the fastest of sorcs.

Also, hdins aren't all about catching people. Some of them play very defensively, trying to lure people into their hammer fields. If your charge around and randomly casting hammers, not only will u desynch, but your hammers will be all over the place and some will even be invisible.

Only when there's a very long ranged attacker to hdins have to go offensively, and then the fast tele they can achieve helps a lot.

It is my personal opinion that hammerdins are nothing more than mfers vs anyone with a clue. ^^

Slightly exaggerated :wink3:

They are clearly overrated though...there is no best build and even though hammerdins are among the more viable classes one should by no means assume they are invincible.

does that 125 fcr really help casting tele+hammer combo quicker?

Necros and Bowazons tend to kill Hammerdins.

You don't know much about hammers do you?

Nec>hammer in general perhaps vs rands. But i can assure you great hammers>nec easily. Same goes for bowa.

I'm quite sure others will say the same as well.

Same as in Nec>hammer? If thats the case, one should know 99% of ppl in d2knows **** about such things. I'm not saying this to be rude but hammer>nec 100%. If you have a nec i can show you.

I don't, but I am interested in what realm you play.
