Yeah i swapped to the new build and had the same result of getting hit a lot harder even on P1
Swapped hoto for void
Soj or bk for sling ring
Magefist for chancies
2/10 for 2/20 for the FCR
Added the new jewel -8/8
Added the new sunder (pretty good one too)

Mf is at like 480ish
16k hammers
125 FCR
Max res except fire at 60+
91 FHR
Max block
3k life

Still seem VERY squishy vs previous hdin. Definitely swapping right back 😂

Edit- was going for MF build.

Okay so tried another build with new stuff , i didn’t make this im just testing stuff i see online

Swapped
Shako for hellwarden w new jewel
Hoto for void
Spirit for HOZ (tossed a ber in for dmg red)
2/10 ammy for 2/20 ammy (was 5 short so anything 15+ works)
Arach for gheeds belt
Mf ring for opalvien magic ring
New sunder magic charm

Still running
Enigma
Bk or soj - i went soj bc mana kinda sucks even with 17 med insight
Trangs
War Travs
6/6 CTA w spirit bump

Running 17k hammers
128 FCR (FCR in gheeds varies i went with a 18% one, 15 would’ve been fine or could’ve went 15 on the ammy)
Max res - need res charms to do this but ran 7mf/5@ and a couple 7/11s
56 FHR (so lost some of the fhr breakpoint but doesn’t seem to matter)
305 mf
Max block
3200 life

TZs have been fine, chaos and Baal runs are fine
And i guess the added bonus is i can now kill Baal wave (or any magic monster) just like i kill the rest and i haven’t had to worry about my life once. I’d try this build if you’re looking to min/max dmg vs mf vs survival ability

Defense is important for pvm. Enigma gives you a lot of defense and allows you to delete mobs before they even get a hit in. You'll notice how important def is if u forgot to cast holy shield (even if prebuff block is 75) bec blocking still puts you in block animation. Block is good for big hits that goes through def check. Then your next best defensive option is DR% which is better vs heralds and uniques.

If you're switching to hellwarden from shako it is ideal to get high life Pcomb with 6 bo CTA.

Does they changed something ? As i remember when i played hammerdin i could easy go into the group of mobs on p8 and kill them easy without any dmg taken. Now i have alomst full eq (missing Eni and maybe one ring) also 75 res and 75% block, and on hell p1 i need to be very careful because some mobs hit me very hard for like 1/3 hp or 1/2 hp.




Found the problim.
