The Hammerdin Is Offically Dead!

[Archon_Wing]

Ok, so I was thinking about this: I may only be able to obtain only 25/25 because i am not rich, and so I won't get anywhere with a one trick pony. After all, I do specialize in necros:) Of course, the vengeance/conviction combo practicaly kills anything :P Oh, so that's what a one -trick pony means. Oops.

Using the ideas here, I thought of a few things:
Weapons:
I want to use Wizardspike. The 50% fast cast, 75 resist all, and mana boost is great. Not to mention +1 to all skills. It may not be a lot of +skills, but the 50% fast cast seems good accoring to what I read. Plus it's only sitting on a mule, so I should put it to use.

The backup weapon would be a skystrike. The elemental damage would come of use against immunes.
armor:
I would also want to use the Skin of Vipermagi, it offers resistances and +1 skills. Plus it's not heavy. Fast cast too. enough to get 10 frames. I don't think I can get 125% so that seems to be a good start.
Shield
A rare +2 Kurast shield with enhanced damage, and lightning resists socketed a p. diamond. granted, this shield is far from the best and requires a whopping 124 str... I don't got a HOZ, and while the blocking sucks too (54), I don't really care about the blocking too much, since I'll attack at range, and block lock will screw up my Smite. Speaking of Smite, the smite dmg here looks appealing.

Anyhow, I need advice for the shield...

Helm: +2 combat skills, lightning resist 40%, +3 max dmg Bleh, wish I had another Crest.
Belt: Glooms Trap. For the mana boost
Gloves: Frostburn, for the mana boost
Boots and rings: whatever... I mean I'm clueless.
Amulet: Rare pally one

As you can see, I'm not very rich at all, but I'm determined to go!

But crappy equipment aside, I plan then:
To Max smite
To Max blessed hammers and Concentration
To max holy shield? Is this neccesary?
1 pt. in Mediation, because I think I'll need it
maybe a point in salvation? Brenim comes to mind
Because I'm using wizardspike, there's not much point to zeal or vengeance...

Merc: Act 1 Fire merc, for more help vs. immunes.

I have no clue how to put my stat points. I wanted to initialy get 60 dex for wizardspike, socketed with a -15 req jewel, but then my blocking would go down the drain. Is pumping energy wise?

If my calculations are right, 25/25 would do around 500 damage? It's not too cruddy considering half of its magical and thus not affected by the global 50% resist. I guess finding combat charms is a need.

All questions aside, I'll go test it out :P

I don't wish for an uber character, I just want one that can fight somewhat effectively in hell mode.
