I bet it does exist. The 2nd roll could just be 12 magic find.

If we’re talking hvh on LOD.

Shako (jah)
2/20/60hp amulet
Spirit of Phoenix
2 pal/10fcr/3hammer/3conc/2soc (2x 20life/15 all res — or 20life/20mana)
2x fcr ring 10fcr/60life any other adds are a plus
Arachnid
Trang
Waterwalks 65 life

Use pcomb fhrs and 1-2 5fhr sc to hit 86 fhr


not sure it exists but it can spawn yes blood amu +10_20 hp so 60 + blood craftmode can do 80, you're right
about your setup you lost 1 skill, + no oak
the lost of 1 skills is big.. your average two hammers will deal 5400 dmg vs 5624 on my build scepter, and oak is a must have for hvh even if It usually die first he tank one hammer
+ if you need a lot of fhr, shadowdancer save more life than ww + fhr gc

It can do 80 but not with fcr roll of 20.
Pretty sure it can be 2 pal/10% icb/10% fcr/80 life

80 life on 10 fcr ammy, the best possible is : 2 pala 10 fcr 2x str 80 life

my actual conclusion at this moment, with your helps, are :

frw circlet is a must, can make you avoid hammers

str bug is a must too, make you avoid hammers and you easily and fastly do invisible hammers, desynch etc

actually I pref to stay on scepter/circlet more than hoto/circlet bc life is more or less the same 5120 vs 5150-5190, you die with two hammers, both (if oak dead)
but with scepter dmg, you two hits everyhammerdins (5624 dmg) (when oak dead) while certain hvh build can tank 2 hammers (no oak) if you use a hoto setup (5400 dmg, average 2 hammers) for example : shako fcr ring 5416 hp, circlet nofrw or no str bug 5370 hp, long duel life rep/medi etc..
I think it's sad that a shako fcr ring build can kill you in two but can resist to two of your hammers :cry:

the lost of 30 fcr desynch is not a big deal, imo, hoto 40 vs scepter 10, necro always use white over hoto, even if they lost 40 fcr desynch, ofc the difference of dmg between white and hoto is BIG, but I think it's in the same spirit to pref scepter over hoto, kills in two hits everytime oak is dead while with hoto setup it's not all the time...
