I may be missing something, but how do you get max res all in hell with this build? I have found that doing Chaos Sanc with this setup in hell gets me pretty screwed cause of all the magic damage, but hey, its only my second day ever playing a hammerdin so I'll eventually get use to it I guess...but how do you get all that extra res? Maras + HoZ (I P'Diamond'd mine cause I'm poor) doesn't get even close to the max pos res.

Heart of Oak: The best weapon for this pally. There really aren’t any mf items that allow for fcr and skills, so just stick with this. At earlier lvls use spectral shard, and then wizzy. Eventually try and get this.

Enigma Archon: This is extremely important for this paladin. With this you will be moving as fast as a sorc, killing faster, and also surviving longer. The mf, str, and other mods are awesome as well. For lower lvls use a viper magi, and then scolders for mfing if you cannot yet afford enigma.

PTopaz Shako: Obvious answer. Until you are high enough for this, use peasant crown.

Cham Herald: The 4 combat skills + excellent blocking make this better then an mf shield. Remember that higher killing speed means more dead monsters, which means more items.
Really try and get a herald, but if you cannot get one, use a rare shield.

Arachnids Mesh: Best for this build because you are going to need fcr. The + skills is just gravy. Until this use an fcr belt, or gold wrap for the mf.

Magefists: Use this if you need the fcr. If not use chance gaurds for the mf.

War Travs: Heres where you should have some mf. War travs are the best for mf, so use them if u can. Otherwise you some rare or magic ones with mf.

Perfect Maras: Use whatever % you can get. IMO this is the best ammy for a hammerdin. You might need the res, and the skill are just great. Other options are rare pally ammys with + skills, or magic ammys with + combat/pally skills.

Nagelring: You can afford to lose one soj for the mf.

Soj: Big mana boost + skills. Obviously this a great ring for any caster. If you feel you don’t need it though, go for another mf ring.

Charms: small mf charms, annihlus, combat charms, vita charms. Use whatever you think you need more of, which will usually be mf.

Weapon Switch: Alibaba + Rhyme shield. This is used for killing bosses. If you don’t have ists, and arent at a very high lvl then use gull instead of ali-baba.

Exact quote of his guide, which bring us to the following calcs:

-100 base,
-70 with quests,
pdiamond in hoz = 70 res.
Wizardspike = 50,
mara's = 20
That makes +70, which is VERY near.
I've taken the lowest of each items, since you said you're not very rich. With a cheap anni, you'll get max res easily.

About the dmg without mara's, and without skillers, = 9k. With enigma, hoto, HoZ, Arach and 1 soj.

thx neo.

ANyway, my pally does 11k hammers, and kills quick enough for me. I have been doing a lot of lvling jobs lately, and its been great. Yesterday, I reached lvl 93 with my hammerdin

Heh, I just had to say how great of a guide that was. That guide was great, and covered everything you could possibly want to know. I know alot of other people said it too, but I just figured I had to say it as well heh. I think that guide single-handedly just made a ton of people want to make a Hammerdin [if they hadn't already done so]. Like I said, just wanted to tell you how good of a guide that was, and like *PlatinuM* said on the first page ~ very in-depth as well.

:Edit: Put in *PlatinuM*'s name.

thank you

Before I made this guide, I was the only MF hammerdin that I knew of. Now, I think I hear of more people having MF hammerdins than MF Sorcs
