How is the build different from the Hdin gear wise (yes obviously FOH vs Hammers)
Are we still hitting max block? Is it really that much better and if so in what situations would you run a Hdin opposed to the FOHdin.

Thanks!

I started with FoH this ladder jsut for the reason that you can pretty much start farming chaos as soon as you get there.
On ladder day2 i could so solo runs in CS hell on p1 because you can rock the all res aura with it.

I think for this its pretty neat but as soon as you get an eni Hammerdin is still better in every way, espacially because you can farm pretty much everything.

For party play FoH is better because you have so many different auras that you can switch to depending on your situation, that was pretty fun at ladder start

Maxblock may be personal preference, i never go for it

Yeah I'm reading a ton about the build on different websites. Looks like you don't need to go for Max block due to it being more of a ranged attack build opposed to the HDin that is right up in your face. I may build one for running chaos runs on JSP here and then have a switch with an HDin i'll run up too. Thanks for the info! <3

Youre welcome!

About maxblock: As hammerdin i also dont go for it. Currently not 1 point in dex with my hdin. When you block it takes some frames for the animation and you cant attack during that time. and as paladin you are quite tanky, so its better to just take the hit and dont get interrupted. Works for me at least^^

especially now that they have CHANGED THE FHR mechanic and won't let us know what they did.
