PVP Hammerdins

[petezjunior]

Question about PVP hammerdins. I'm goign to switch up and make my Blizz sorc the mfer because the hammerdin cannot wear as much MF as the sorc can. I am wondering, is this the right equipment and do you guys suggest a PVP hammerin?

P maras
19-18 P torch
39 resis HOTO
NO CTA YET
(I Think it's up'd) Hoz 198 % ed 576 def (Ber'd)
2x sojs
Treks 15 str 14 vital
Ber'd shako 133 def
Magefist
High arach 115 ed and 135 def.

What should I switch up? I know that I have to get a spirit and more pcombs, but what else? Do you suggest a PVP hammerdin because I see more smiters as pally pvpers than hammerdins even though hammerdins have range and tp.

y hoz??? 4 pvp...u need more FCR...so use 45fire res play spirit with 80 to all other res.. XD try 2 get with at least 30FCR...

[Archerdoom]

Any reason you need 2 Ber'd pieces of armor?

For PvP:

125% FCR
86% FHR

Rest doesn't matter.

But,

- Spirit > Hoz.
- Life > Pcombats.

For PvP:
- Spirit > Hoz.
- Life > Pcombats.
And,
Wizspike > HotO.

also you don't need you damage as high as a regular hammer din. you got to cast very fast. substitute power for speed.

also get nigma? not sure if it would help since you can charge people then hammer them but it will save mana and add lots of strength you wont need latter on.

And,
Wizspike > HotO.

Can still easily hit 125 fcr and max res without wizzy so gogo hoto.

They both have their uses, and you should have both in stash.

[Archerdoom]

Wizzy gives 10% more fcr than HotO, but the +3 skills from HotO will give you 1000 damage or more. I'd go with the HotO.

use a Viper Bludgeon. godly hammarz rulez

I agree.
Hammers dont need godly damage to kill in PvP (so no need for Hoto.), and that 75res on Wizzy sure is handy.

20 trangs/magefist+20 arach+40 hoto=80
35 fcr Spirit=35
Total=115
So you'd be 10 fcr short.
Go either wizspike or hoto/fcr ring. I'd recommend the latter.

you'd be one of the few.
all the top end hammerdins i have hassles with are sorbing little whores. by using a hoto/fcr ring, you lose a ringslot worth of sorb'ability (one ring should be a ravenfrost). not that i really object. but by and large a hammerdin without mass sorb is a dead hammerdin.

there's no such thing as "max res" on a hammerdin. more res is always good res.

seriously, the top flight hammerdins use wizzy/spirit/trangs/arach for a reason. it works.

My suggestions.

Standard

Coa (Ber & 15 Resist All/-15% Req Jewel)
2/10 Amulet
Hoto
Enigma
35% Spirit ST
Trangs
Verdungos
2x FCR Rings
Waterwalks

Life scs with resist.

You can substitute in absorb (Kiras, Rising Sun, Raven Frost, Wisp, Dwarfs, Hotspurs, etc) without killing any of your build.

Damage

Shako
2/10 Amulet
Hoto
Enigma
35% Spirit St
Trangs
2x Bk
Arach
Waterwalks

Pcombats with Life, Life scs.

[Liachem]

Why Bk for damage, why not go 2x soj because he already has 2 of em.

Life.

I find Soj's useless except for an ES Sorc.

Just use a million mana pots. You can't heal but you can use mana.

Bad.
