Since there are some people out there who always feel the need to still bm in this game, what would yall say are some nice anti bm builds?

obviously bmers are gonna try to jump you so it's prob best to have something thats defensive and hard hitting

hammerdin is an obvious one but im looking for others

Really depends what you mean by bm

Berserk barb
WW barb
Hammerdin
Charger din
Smite din
V/T din
Foh din
Trapper is always good
Any build that can sorb well and still deal massive damage

are going to be good vs typical bmers who just jump/sorb/tp when low health. Anything you can stack sorb on but still be a damage-dealing char.

vs AA users pretty much any char can work you just have to be good at dueling specifically vs AA users. And after you get good at dueling AA users then get good at dueling the ones who combine decent dueling skills with AA. The final boss, great dueling skills combined with great AA mods/skills and a great character, probably just won't be beat by any gm player consistently. Maybe top 1-3 only

e/ should also include the obvious psn/aura abuse chars which are bm themselves, plague zon, aura din, psn nova nec. Always a fun alternative if you like the playstyle

75fcr VT always worked great for me on d2lod. Even better if friendly nabourhood AMP nec.
Epic defense vs AA and blindspot hammers, epic offenve vs anything else. Epic absorbs, res and DR% combined with max block. Dont forgete wisp so u can jump hammers with correct timing, even though im unsure how effective that is in d2r.

Else 3hybrid tele zon worked great as well, 1 fury and merc is gone, psn and kb combi annoying AF. Plague, cs, bolt, fury, ga, multi, strafe (i guess impale also now). Bring infi merc urself. And if skillbugged Far cast still works, that can be used as well.

Hammerdin has some strenght and some weaknesses. But a skilled hammerdin can kill most.
BVC is always fun!

Kinda depends on what BM as Belarathon says.
