Hammerdin questions

[HeLRaZR]

You could always get yourself a Holy Freeze mercenary, just to cut down on some of the skill points needed for the build.

Also, if you don't like the Shael-ed Wizardspike on a Hammerdin, you could always try it out on a Chain Lightning Sorc.  ;)

1 - Wouldn't an Act 2 nightmare might merc be better? Might still works with Blessed hammer I think but the same 50% nerf as concentration. One thing I also noticed playin a classic hammerspammer on USEast HC this week is that Fanaticism also boost the Blessed Hammer damage even more than Concentration does, unfortunately, no-one but the paladin gets the damage boost, just the IAS.

I have a 2 year old hammerspammer on USWest I'll check with a might merc tonight to see if the BH recieves the Might boost.

I remember the classic HC days on USWest prior to LoD. A good online pal and I each made a hammerspammer, he with concentration me with might. WOW! were we a popular team with CS running amazons lol.

2 - Try a 6 shael phase blade on your chain lightning sorcy EEEP! :blink:


As an aside, I have to say that my own Hammerspammer build was not successful. I had converted one to expansion. In the past couple of weeks I've thought very seriously about rebuilding one though as I've bounced around some ideas based upon added skills from gear that I've been collecting...

Anyone care to share ideas about hammerdins in LoD?
