Yeah........ I should have not rerolled the map :rofl:

Oh well................................ if I ever redo this, I'll do 3 things differently:

1. Imbue mage plates instead of grim shields. Reason: fewer variables needed for a good imbue (mostly just need 80+ EE)
2. My main shield will be 2 socketed grim shield filled with pdiamonds, instead of 3 socketed tower. Less resists, but ~100 more defense
3. I will put just 10 points into holy shield instead of 15. That way, I will kill faster. Sometimes offense > defense.

This sucks !!! I actually started 1 and was wanting to look forward at what u was finding that I could hope to find also..

Also weird that u have 2 unique monsters in the same picture, should have single either of them off :bonk:


At least u beat the game before u died, thats the main part !!! Just didnt achieve ur other goals :cry:

RIP. Classic hammerdonks are always fun :)

Couple of advice if you want them:

You should treat classic hammerdonks more like a sorc. As in, stop worrying about your defense too much. Its helpful yes, but + life and + res is waaay more important.

As some1 already said, Ornate dins are only viable when you have a -30% req ornate plate. Otherwise its just waaaay to much strength you need to put.

That being said, mage plates are your go to armors and its a good idea to imbue them. ^^ %ed for a hammerdin is like your 3rd most important roll. After +life and +res.

With this in mind, 3 pdiamond shield > 2pdiamond shields. forget 2 sox.

This is based on my experience but ofc, if you think you need + def by all means do it.

you cannot get +2 sock in magic or rare classic shields.
they do exist on live servers but that was due to a glitch years ago where classic chars entered a5 and used imbue quest.
