I dueled in 1.09 with both, actually, and they are totally viable even without synergies. Even now a LLD hammerdin can kill HLD.
A lot has changed since 1.09. These characters would be dreadful post 1.10 if everyone had 75% magic resist, just think about having to duel the equivalent of a low% es sorc as a Necromancer for EVERY duel, and then consider that all these characters with heightened resistances are considerably better than Sorceresses are.
A LLD Hammerdin
can kill HLDs just the same way that a Poison Dagger Nec
can kill HLDs, it's still not a viable build. In order for these characters to still remain viable after dealing 4x less damage they would literally have to be broken in their current state.
