HI, an updated pvp hammerdin guide, as the ones there was are just a little outdated (not that this one is revolutionary). I borrowed alot of the layout from other guides. Just added a bit of the new stuff people use nowadays!

There can be a bit different preference on how u want your hammerdin, but this is how we had ours.

The pvp hammer is a awesome 1v1 char which got a chance to win any opponent (some harder then other), u can use it for rushes (but omg use lvl service :bonk: ), its an awesome team pvp char and its an awesome char to use for bming.

This one is made without hybrid runewords!

Never forget to str bug your char!


Faster Cast Rate & Faster Hit Recovery


Faster Hit Recovery Frames:
0% 9
7% 8
15% 7
27% 6
48% 5
86% 4
200% 3
4680% 2

This build will be hitting the 86fhr bp.

Faster Cast Rate :
0% 15
9% 14
18% 13
30% 12
48% 11
75% 10
125% 9


125 fcr ofc.. Some will also like the 75 fcr build with a grief setup (but u dont really need it)!

Faster Block Rate: (With Holy shield)

0% 2
86% 1


Faster Block Rate:(Without Holy shield)

0% 5
13% 4
32% 3
86% 2
600% 1

Skills & Stating
Base Stats of paladins are
Strength: 25

Dexterity: 20

Vitality: 25

Energy: 15


Stat Distribution
Strength : Depends on your ring, but 3 str with a 20 str ring. I myself used a 10 fcr 23 str 15 dex 20 life 85 mana ring -> then i had to stat 0 in str.
Dexterity: Enough for maxblock.
Vitality: rest of your stats in here
Energy: You get alot of mana from rings / amu


Skills
Max:
Blessed Hammer
Blessed Aim
Concentration
Vigor

Others:
1 pt Cleansing
1 pt defiance
1 pt Meditation
1 pt Fanaticism
1 pt sacrifice
1 pt zeal
1 pt vengeance
1 pt conversion
1 pt foh (its very important as you use this for smite foh stuns - a video will follow of this. It is also good for last hit kills)

Then you have 4 options, its a matter of what you prefer

1. Remaining go into Holy shield.

2. You put 10 in Light res aura (for +5 max light res) and then remains into holy shield[

3. Remaining into prayer (for insnane high life reg with medi), this is a pussy char

4. Remaining into smite for longer stun (swirls)

Its all about getting out there.. I will add 1 youtube video here, but you can go and watch more from the same user.. In the video u can see a little of how smite/foh stun works.. and how awesome it is together with a sin, due to 24/7 swirls :D

Thx to Jason_voorhees and rob for the videos :)

A good idea is to know how to bug your skills, it can work rly well vs some chars.. (its somewhere in Kam (Jason_Voorhees) videos, but else pm me if u wanna know how to do it!)
