Hammerdin dead? That's silly. I made one single player WITHOUT ANY TWINKING WHATSOEVER. Had blessed hammers/concentrate at 650 damage or something and a bit of fast cast from his `Stealth' cuirass and that was it.
With smite as side skill and lifetap wand for leb monsters, he cleared hell/8 no sweat, and I didn't even find *any* elite paladin shield until Anya gave me a vortex shield in the very end. With his defiance merc he could stand in the middle of anything, anywhere.
Sure, it was no uber char, but it did his job pretty well. If I had 1350 damage hammers it would be a massacre :) So, I say hammerdins are alive and well.
