No real need for fast block rate, by the time the monster has a chance to hit you it's dead. You need FCR more than FBR, more hammers, less chance they make it pass, meaning less chance they have to hit you, therefore, meaning no need to block fast.

Cowboy: We'll make a game sometime, I'll see what I got for Anni's left. And no need for a perfect hoto, in my opinion, perfect hoto's are a waste to buy, paying three runes for it, when you can get a 35 for 1-2, or Vex for 1, 4 socket flails are a common find, then Ko, Pul, and Thul. Not hard to come by. smile.gif

sorry I havent been posting much on this thread anymore. Been busy with starting up my own little forum within a forum. Okay well anyway, heres to answer a few questions.

Max resists are easily obtained. Maras + hoto + HoZ + Anni + Anya quests. If you do not have near perf gear, then make sure u Um ur HoZ to get max resists or close to it. If you are off by a few resists, then add a 5 res all small charm. Its not something to worry about. Its not a big deal.

With MF, thats also easy to obtain. Ptopazed Shako (74) + Enigma (lets say 90), war travs (~45), Gheeds (~35) = ~245

Now add some small MF charms and you have easily obtained over 300% MF. Looking for insane MF for killing off those bosses? Up to 259 more MF can be added on weapon switch. That is more then enough MF. Aside from having that much, you will also be able to kill faster in PvM then any other character.

yeah, the one thing that I do suggest for hammerdins is dont make them until u can afford them. I am not saying that they are going to be shit with not so great gear, but a sorc is better if you dont have the resources. If you can afford to invest in a good MF character, a hammerdin is the BEST way to go.

BTW, fong. Naruto and Gaara are the shiznite.

idk if it was mentioned in the 12 pages before this but im not gunna read to find out, sooo

best place for a hameradin to mf i think it nataliak or w/e...

ilvl 94, gota a bunch of ilvl 85s around him... it could be a godly drop paradise, and i dont think any are magic immune...

the down side, U MUST KILL HIM FAST, dont go for the minions around him b.c he can explode there corpse, and trust me this will own u hard... but if ur smart im sure u can get sum godly drops off him...

nataliak or w/e people call him nowadays should be pie for a hammerdin 1 point into redemption gets rid of all of those dead bodies not to mention give u life mana boost, the guide is pretty ez and yet effective props to u gandy smile.gif

im not to big on mfing and my hammerdin is ll 92 hes pretty good 4k life 15k hammer dmg as he is now when i change him to mf he will have a little less of each but i know him and he will still pwn, ne suggestions for the best mf for solo mfing baal and chaos ? those would be the 2 pqaces i mf the most since i know he can do it easily.

u could also use redemption to get the bodies away before nihlatak can pop them, never tried it, but it makes sence imo

gandy, would you consider Wiz spike to be better for pvm in some ways?
sometimes the damage hoto addsis pointless because of the damage you can inflict using basic gear such as shako/enigma/ammy/Shield
while you lose 1k or so damage(which is almost pointless in pvm~) You gain 10% More fcr, 35(if perfect)more res, and more mana
