Hammy Gear/extra skills

[CdMagicFind]

Meh, imo CoA's DR is more useful still. Against a lot of people the DR is definitely going to make a difference. Stacked resist, etc..

But I just started PvPing so meh..? Now also looking for what gear switches. Also came up with this for a main gear set-up..

CoA
2/20 Ammy
HotO
Enigma
Spirit ST
FCR Ring
Raven
TGod's
Spurs

I should have enough stacked resist. Should. So spurs' max fire should be the most helpful..?

Suggestions on my posts please. >_> Everybody's still talking about the whole Shako vs. CoA. Give me a full set-up at least where Shako works better.

Firstly, do you have taht 2/20 ammy with other good mods?

 

[CdMagicFind]

Actually no. =p I definitely have the money for it, though, I mean. I'm not statting my hammy yet.

Edit -
By statting I mean finishing statting. He has 45 dex base and 300ish vita but that should be fine, right?

Edit -
And how does stats vs. resist go on rares?

 

[Ouallada]

IIRC a 2/20 ammy with the usual godly mods is definitely in thousands of hrs.

300 vita is a little low I think. Your charm setup should be 3-4pcombs with life and the rest 20life scs with resists. How much life are you aiming for actually ? 4k? 4.5?

 

[CdMagicFind]

Yeah. I was thinking of getting a resist one instead of a statter though. How do stats and resist compare? Like how much resist will equal like 1 point in vita?

And I'm aiming for other things first. Something like 300-400 resist, a lightning absorb, a cold absorb, spurs if possible, and then life after that. That should be the way to go, right?

Edit - by equal one vita, I mean sort of an estimate of them being even or on par or whatever.

 

[Ouallada]

Haha that is a terrible question to try and answer. Stats/life are definitely more sought after than resists. It really depends. If you are merely stacking resists, then life would be much more valuable. Similarly, if you were lacking in resists, resists would be more valuable. Even more situational contingencies exist, but it would take too long to go through.

In your case, I would say that 1 res all is approx 1 vita.

IF you do not have extreme charms, like all 20/5s, consider wizzies. More fcr and more resists than hoto. Allows you to not use a 2/20 ammy as well.

A 2/20 ammy by itself is worth quite a bit. One with even decent resists would be 3 digits of hrs I think.

 

[CdMagicFind]

Ah, cool. I forgot about damage as a factor, too.. Haha.

Thanks for the approximation.

And I'm going to get the charms soon. I'll at least have a good filler until then. And it would allow me to not use the FCR Ring but the 2/20 would need an arach's to go.

And ah, thanks for all the info. 2/20 should do until I find a good way to get side-mods.

Edit -

Sorry about all the gear questions but where would a -20/15 Griffon's be in comparison to the 2/20?

And do I have a stamp of approval on the gear? =p

Edit again -

I just read that same topic about the chance to cast stuff. Would TGod's chance to cast FoH hurt the build? Because if so I think I need to rethink the whole set-up.

 

[Ouallada]

Well, I still believe that shako > CoA on a traditional hdin barring a need for gear switches. Seriously, if you want to wreck pubs, resists can be gotten from charms, while raven etc are not really needed because cbf only really affects charging, and cold sorb isnt as useful as light sorb, for instance. You also did not list your gloves.

A 2/20 with crappy mods. Seriously, you might as well use a 2/10 rare with better mods and make up the fcr somewhere else and use another fcr ring or something.

Hotspurs is also inferior. WW is much better and gives assistance against fire sorcs too.

The foh from tgods, if I recall right, will create a delay that prevents you from casting another spell, so tgods is usually not too good on hdins.

 

[CdMagicFind]

Well, I want the DR too.

And raven is for CBF for desynch charging.

Gloves is Trang's.

And fine, I'll get a 2/20 with good mods, whatever..?

Okay, I guess I'll go WW maybe. But the 90 FR seemed appealing..

No TGod's.. Hm. How about I go with the original set-up then? Or with Dungo's instead? But I still need light sorb if I go dungo's..

 

[Ouallada]

A 2/20 with good mods is worth far far far more than a 20/15 griffs.

The problem with this setup is that it tries to neutralise too many things. Tries to do too much. You can't be wearing wisp + raven + hotspurs + dungos + coa and still want to retain 125 fcr and good hammer damage. Hdins' biggest advantage in pubs is their versatility, and even that comes partially from stashing. Your hdin is a little bit of a jack of all trades.

You could replace the raven if you cham your coa or if you use hoz instead of spirit. Not advisable, but an alternative nonetheless.

There isnt a single character that can do all that you want it to do and still maintain a semblence of its original killing power. You may end up suffering even more at the hands of other hdins/ele druids etc.

 

[CdMagicFind]

I don't really see why not, though. =/ HotO gives decent damage giving room for more life sc's. And etc.. The life may be a little lower but I could always switch to WW?

And I don't really know what to do on the 2/20. I'm going to be building up pretty soon so yeah. Don't worry too much about the money I guess, since I don't plan to be PvPing competitively that soon. There's always more time to get the organs, etc. :/

And, do you have a set-up in mind? Or else I could just use Korean's set-up, I guess?
