I don't want to make Tri-Brid build. Just the hybrid FoH/Hammer build. Any recommendation? Bis items? Ty!

For a dual hybrid without smite you basically build a normal hammerdin but instead of maxing concentrate and holy shield, max foh/hb. One hammer synergy won't be maxed at 99 but you'll be close.

Merc is subjective because you can get away without insight if you have some +mana on gear. I still prefer insight/cure/coh/prayer for QoL, fort works too because you'll usually get enough healing from auras but the damage increase isn't very much. I've seen some people use act5 merc on trybrids because they sometimes do ubers and want their merc to have a chance to survive

the dual cmoon a5 merc is also a viable option for the static procs if you don't mind managing your mana otherwise.

For my Merc I was thinking about: Prayer (Insight/Cure/CoH).

For my gear, I was thinking about: Hoto, Magefist, Enigma, Arach,
(but not sure about the rest. What should I get? Shako vs. Griffon? Hoz vs. Targe Spirit? 2x Bk ring? WT vs. Trek?).

For skills, I was thinking about: 20Foh, 20Holy bolt. 1Holy Shield. 20Hammer.
(but not sure about the rest. What should I max first between Concentration, Blessed Aim and Vigor.)

Yeah, I might be another option but I prefer A2. I'm hesitating about skills and gears atm.

you need to decide what fcr breakpoint you want to hit...

and just no for the treks. not on an hdin/foh hybrid.

Don't use griffon. HoZ gives you slightly more DPS (less than 1k) than spirit at the cost of wearing an FCR ring and needing more expensive helm/amulet to hit 125 fcr. Probably still go spirit if you aren't already set on HoZ

BK rings instead of sojs is fine if you're running insight merc but remember the +life doesn't work with BO and is underwhelming.

For boots IMO most people should be using aldurs especially if you're using spirit. WT if you're stacking MF, WW if you're maxing block

I would like 125fcr for tele but I know 86fcr is the best for casting delay on Foh and Hammer.
