Working on a PvP hammerdin guide, need suggestions.

I'm spending some of my (plentiful) free time working on a hammerdin guide, and I need help piecing it together :thumbsup:

Basically I'm stuck what equipments a hammerdin should use in order to obtain:
(Ladder only)

1. HIGH % physical damage reduction.
2. The ability to use OAK
3. Can equip 1 raven frost
4. 125FCR
5. 86%FHR.

Need the stats on the best possible Crafted paladin amulets (Dexterity > Life > Resistance.


Also, need some suggestion on stash gears a hammerdin should have.

Here's what I've added so far:

hmm u should not strugle too much a good hammersetup could be this;

Setup 1

sacred rondache/ targe high res shield (55% Fhr)
Enigma Mp
wizzy- i think is better as u reach bp of 125% fcr easier without the need for a fcr amu
1x raven 1x soj
waterwalk - i think water walk are nice due to the nice bo able hp and 15 dex from block
shako Ber
Archnid
trang glove

inventry if u can get 2x pc with fhr and rest 5fhr sc with res or get all sc with fhr.

Setup 2

sacred rondache/ targe high res shield (55% Fhr)
Enigma Mp
spirit sword (gives max fhr allready) or Hoto
arch
rare circet 20 fcr 2 socs mana, hp stats etc for ber ber combo
mara
trangs
if u use hot sandstorms will give nice stats for the 20 fhr on it

charms a few fhr stats ones

Hammerdins have so many possible setups. There are so many that you could write a guide about the setups alone.

If I could use any setup I would use following:
Shako (Ber)
Crafted "Caster" Paladin Amu : +2 Paladin skills, 20 Fcr, +20 Dex and 60 Life
Crafted "Hit Power" Ring: 20 Dex, 10 Fcr, 40 Life and 90 Mana
Raven Frost
Enigma Mage Plate
Special Unique Belt on NL with +1 all sks, 20% Pdr, 25 Dex, 15 str and 20 all res
Upgraded Magefist / Trang-Ouls vs anything except Barbs.
Hoto Scourge
Spirit Sacred Targe
Upgraded Waterwalks

Inventory:
4 x Pc sks w/ life
Rest would be 20 life scs with Resist.

The option to obtain 86% Fhr vs Trappers and Windies.

 

[mainaman]

here is what my set up is

shaeled shako
45 base res 35 fcr spirit sacred targe
30 maras, 2x bk
arachnid, 65 life waterwalks, trang gloves
wizzy with 9 dext/30 cold res jewel
switch 2 hs 6 bo cta, spirit

1x12 fhr pcombat, rest is 20 life scs (planning to upgrade to 20/11 cold+light, and possibly some 20/17 's)

this gear results in
4950 life
125 fcr max block
11k hammers, 86 fhr
18 dr.
now i can swap arachnid for dungo ,thus getting 33 dr
and the 2 bks with nice fcr rings with 50 life ea (iirc this is max life one can get on fcr rings)

I am not sure what my life would be if i have those fcr rings , but it should be about the same as with the bks.

as for stash , only thing i can think of is whisp/ tgod, treachery

there is a different gear selection using good 2/20/2 os rare circlet with other mods, + bloodfists, and fcr rings which can get you to 5k+ life and 33 dr.

Charge Bug (The evil one, where you have to recon) When you die while charging with HOLYSHIELD on you will suffer from the evil Charge Bug. I only use HS when there's a melee / Bow ama that host me.

I think you should put a section on using a charge weapon vs. bowazons, trappers, etc. and possible widow vs. other hammies and BvCs with widow

something i think worth stating, is rellying on oak from the hoto is waste of time, although the hoto can tank a hit for u, it dies way too easily in battle.

Also a note on gear, hammerdin gear can be very flexable and can usally hit all the necessary breakpoints and dmg + stats with alot of different setups.


I think its worth mentioning all different types, ie. in some areas the wizzy is superior to the hoto due to high res and nice mana and the higher fcr.

Also some mentioning of circlets and even certain setups, i.e hitting 125% fcr while still using hoz but using good fcr amu 20% + 20% say on a circlet or diadem and wizzy etc.

Oak charges are dirty cheap (~1K per charge), and I find it to be very useful against some classes when you desync around.

I'll sure cover that
