Doing CS runs with 125 fcr Hdin.

Currently using 1x 10 fcr ring to hit 125 fcr break point and using dwarf as protection vs Inspector of Souls ("IoS").

I am considering if it is better to use Hotspur (instead of WT for mf) and replace the Dwarf with BK ring for life and +1 skill for Bo.

So, is Hotspur better vs IoS or is Dwarf? Not sure about how to do the math on resistance/absorb

EDIT: There is an old topic here, but not 100% sure about the conclusion: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=59231827&f=87

Rising sun and fire will heal you almost 😂

Seen that on YT :P, but if one has to choose between Dwarf and Hotspur, which is the better choice?

Dwarf for pvm

Its better than getting 90% fres with hotspur? (for CS runs)

Neither. 75 resistance is fine.


It is. Spin hammers and let them walk into it, you shouldn't be losing much hp at all. Never sacrifice mf/kill speed on a Hammerdin, it's an op build.

I dont think 75 is fine in 8p game without very high level Bo.

75 is ok, but dwarf have good lite, so IF u add that its still a ok ring

Hots more used for bming pvp

assuming you have 75% fire resist otherwise
hotspurs negates 60% of damage you'd take (25->10% taken)
dwarf star's % absorb negates 30% on its own. The 15 MDR is applied at a 82/1024 rate to megademon inferno, so when it deals 45-62 per collision its only reducing that damage by 1.2 instead 15, so about a 2.25% reduction. Multiply them and a single dwarf star is negating about 31.57% of a megademon inferno.

Thx a lot for working on the numbers! So if I got it right that means Hotspur is much better than dwarf for this, everyhting else equal?
