for Pub is more than enough and I had better resukts with Forti than Nigma, ofc desink on

this char is not NL agrresive, its not hdin full of dr max res stacks and etc

got many frags when just run away on Grief side after some sniping with foh but my build in LoD times had exile+grief switch

I love mage. I go griff or coa depending on physical damage. Mostly coa. 125 fcr always hoto. 9k min hammers. If they want to negate your foh they will no matter what you do.

What would u do vs es sorcs though

Mage is my fav paly pvm build, but for pvp, without a pride merc you kinda have to self-conc and if you max foh then you only get to 9k hammer dmg.
Since foh can easily be negated, you can be left with only having half a hdin's dmg, and less than half a hdin's def.
So just about any matchup can sorb your foh and then fight against an ultra weak half hdin.

Other foh hybrids don't really face that same problem, as their alternative skill is just as good if not better as foh.

But I never explored in a direction where you max hammers instead of foh, and you put remaining pts in a secondary foh to poke (still just 1 point in HolyShield)
I guess you'd only have some ~2.5-3k foh dmg, but full hammer dmg instead
Without any sorb, that lil foh poke could still be annoying maybe?
