Communication is a two-way street. Any communication class would tell you that.
I agree. but like all other such things, it is only true to some extent. Exaggeration would be, me saying apple and you understanding as a pear. This situation is obviously nothing even close to comparison, but would you say the speaker had more fault or the listener had more fault, if miscommunication occured? Ofcourse, you add outside variables such as foreign accent, third party noises, blah blah, but there are very little of that here, other than this maroon colored background.

I was not being sarcastic, just pointing something out. If I wanted to be pedantic, I would say that you were at fault for detecting sarcasm where there was none, according to your logic. Anyway, I'm not continuing this with you.
nay, it was not really sarcasm, more like the feeling of betterness as you pointed out my mistake. criticism is always accepted, but not when put in
you said:
Huh, wizzie is a joke on hdins, but "hammer > smite in terms of res stack on normal base gear, because of wizzy + spirit."?
format, especially when followed by a question mark. Were you seriously confused enough to ask a question, or were you pretty certain that it was a mistake on my part as I supposedly stated two completely different things, were you not? you could've asked why my statements supposedly differed or point it out, but you decided to ask not a question but the difference of the two statements that wasn't even quoted right, hence the lack of quotations around "wizzie is a joke on hdins", because i never said nor meant such a thing?

To the OP, I still feel that a wizzie is a good hdim weap, as it really does have a lot of nice mods, especially for clearing pubs alone. However, hoto is just as good or even better, because you sacrifice only 35res for 2 skills effectively, and resists can be made up with life/res charms, which hdins should be using anyway. In the occasions where the charms are not enough and the 35% extra resist is needed, or maybe 50% if you socket it, you would be going to the stash for the resist shield, tgods or wisps anyway. Really up to preference.
to keep this somewhat on topic, I will say that wizzy and hoto are both extremely effective hammerdin's weapons, but your reasoning for hoto > wizzy is biased. I believe otherwise, but hoto can be just as good. Its how you prove your point that is false. If we're talking about a 1v1 Hammer, one who optimizes his gear for every single opponent, yes go bust out a upd hoz + grief + kiras + widow + whatever whenever at need and have hoto as your base. but you say

which shows your lack of hammer experience and an understanding of the harshness of "clearing the pubs".

50% extra resists? when your resists are below 350 which it will, hell yes the resists will be needed. resist shield? laughable idea. should I even mention why a "pub clear" hdin shouldn't lose their 80/80/45/80 35% sac targe for a resist shield?
I could explain why your belief that is along the lines of; "if youre gonna need wizzy, youre gonna need hardcore stack/sorb gear like tgods / resist shield / etc anyway, so go hoto" simply will not work and the most optimal way to set up a massively versatile hammerdin is to find the happy medium between a normal hammer's stash gear and a normal hammer's base gear.
I admit, no matter what happened, if miscommunication occured, everyone involved is at fault. but you must admit, read that damn sentence over, do you not wonder why you would misunderstand that as whatever you understood as?
