This is a guide for PvM Hammer/Smiter fusion build.

All credit goes to NATEON, Korean D2 streamer on youtube. This build can be found here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfmMlAtTD_I&t=11786s)


The aim is 125FCR BP for this build.


Gears
Helm - 2/20FCR/Mod Paladin Helm + 15/15 IAS/@ jewel. IAS jewel is important for IAS on Smiter side.
Neck - 2/20FCR/Mod Paladin Neck. 20FCR is a must and others are flexible.
Body - Enigma. Choose the armor you want for the look and str requirement - this is aesthetic pleasure that I think matters
Belt - Arach
Glove - Magefist/Trang.
Ring - FCR ring. Try to get as much stat as possible but it's up to you. Try to find same GFX as your other ring for aesthetic purposes.
Ring - Raven. I always try to get other ring first, and find a Raven that fits the GFX.
Boot - Gore. Don't up it since it will increase the requirement.

Weapon1 - Lastwish PB. PB is fast and with IAS from helm + Fanta, you will hit your max IAS.
Shield2 - Exile or Herald. This is up to you, but if you will get Exile, go for ST or Royal Shield and keep in mind Herald has Str/Vit so this will affect how you itemize.

Weapon2 - CTA with Concentration/BH. I have 5/6/x War Scepter with 3conc/3BH.
Shield2 - Paladin Spirit. Get 35FCR min.

Anni - up to you. Try to get the highest.
Torch - up to you. Try to get the highest.

GC - i have 8 x Pcomb 30+ lifers MATCHING set. Aesthetic look does make it feel better
SC - 9 x 5@ 2str or 2dex SC. Try to get all MATCHING.
I always carry a Cube to pick up stuff, so 8 GC + 9 SC + Anni + Torch is full inventory. I put scroll of ID and TP on potion 3/4 slots.


Merc
Insight - I use 17med ECV for MP on Hammerdin side.
Ebug Fort - Whatever fits your budget
Andy - Ral'd or 15/2x IAS/FR jewel


Stats
Str - Enough for gear, but make sure you account for armor type from Enigma since this will affect how much you put in a lot. Since no Monarch is used, no need 156 str req, so it's more flexible here.
Dex - you want 75% so make sure you account for your gears/charms and input enough for 75%
Vit - the rest
Energy - 0


Talents
MAX Vigor
MAX Blessed Aim
MAX Concentration
1 into Fanta
MAX Blessed Hammer
As you level, rest into Holy Shield

This build can UBER easily and Dclone easily too with 75@ in hell. Try to make sure you do some homework and how much stat you will get from gear so you don't mess up stats.

So many thing wrong here

i never thought about maxing synergies of blessed hammer. ty for guide. sticky plz.

Um... no

herald is nice

scuffed hammer/smite hybrid

so its basically not good hammer and not good smiter at the same time

what is the reason to use such character over standard shakodin with 1pt fana/smite and grief in stash?

did u watch the youtube video? i dont think u ever played this style/build and dont have much knowledge to speak of tbh...

i personally dont like to have extra gears in stash and swap, and someone might want a hammerdin and a smiter separately (i had before), but i decided to combine into this after watching the video since it does both very well.

plus does anyone on America side ever talk about hammer/smiter din? this is a pretty normal/popular build in Korea, but i have never seen/heard of this before ever on America side, and i wanted to introduce unique fun powerful builds that no one ever knows here in America.

u got enough fg to blow - hope u can try it out and see

because people over here don't build bad characters. Don't need to try it to know it's inferior to hdin with swap in stash

trust me, we dont need to watch the vids and test chars to understand what is better, what is worse

No one in America ever thought about slapping a Grief on a hammerdin, congratulations.
