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.


completely incorrect lol, he could be talking about fast clearing seals in chaos. your 75fire res shako hammerdin will die once every 20 games. you've never seen conviction infector with a pack of oblivion knights nearby to lower res you? that's -200 fire res almost

I couldnt agree more.

Rarely happens, but when it does you are rekt if your res is not stacked

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?


in a 1:1 where you don't care about any other stats
notably, the +45% resist on hotspurs means its easier to cap your resists with less resist needed elsewhere. But it has 0% frw and 0% to other resists, which other boots would give you. Dwarf star's 15 MDR meanwhile is very useful against other damage sources than inferno. Its massively nerfed vs DoT effects like that, but can nearly negate hydras on its own, or take a huge chunk out of other damage sources. Finger mages shoot a lot of spider missiles that deal 38-41 fire + 12.5-15.5 physical. You negate 28% of that with 15 MDR, right off the top.

ehhh i use frenzy barb with lawbringer and plague, frenzy doesnt need leech. lawbringer gives sanctuary aura, helps in chaos a lot. plague runeword gives cleanse, removes amp... etc. its nice for me fastly clearing chaos in a baal game, but yea thats a tough call for you
