What's wrong?

Hello.

My problem is quite simple - I've got TS/Dtail assa. I've got some average boots, bartucs and jade, and some other rather weak items (i'm noob so collecting items is hard). But still I have 18K dmg while on 3rd charge of TS... which is TOTALLY NOTHING! I need to kick about three times to kill one stupid monster on hell in act 4 or 5... With 18K dmg? WHY? What's wrong, what could be done to be able to get through all those monsters by myself? Any help apreciated.:smiley:

Most monsters in hell are highly resistant to fire and you're probably playing in high player number games. Also monsters in (especially) Act IV and V are real meat tanks, with hit points up the bazoo.

maybe they're undead as well. that means, they have higher physical resistance. and since DT's based on the physical boot damage dealt on monsters, you may actually be dealing less than 18k damage shown in the LCS=)

edit: make sure you're wearing at least mirrored boots. boot damage is your friend for TS/DT build=)

QFT

Almost regardless of mods, you should always wear the highest dmg boots you can reasonably equip.

What bothers me the most, is why pala with 7k dmg from hammer kills in 2-3 hits any monster, and my char with 18k can't kill anything with one hit...

That's why hammerdins are so overpowered. Practically nothing has any resistance to thier damage source. If you're going to compare an assassin (especially a melee sin) to a hammerdin it's going to come up short every single time regardless of how perfectly it is built.
