in Hardcore, it's possible a build hammerdin/smiter? or not worth, die easy?

Run a exile, you'll be tanky as shet and your merc will be very stronk.

Slap an ebotd on him.

You'll be like 30k defense if you exile is high roll

ebotd on a smiter? lol
make a normal hammerdin with 1 pt in fanatism and put a last wish in your stash for ubers you'll be good

On the merc dummy

you rely on merc to kill ubers? ebotd has no cb and damage from merc is reduced by 75% on ubers. What's the point of using beast when you can just skill a point in fanatism and not use a bad weapon instead?

this

trash

The only char that might rely on a merc for ubers is a nec.. and even then, blunderbore revives are more important.

The CB on Beast is enough, sure a LW with 1 pt fanat is going to be better specifically for ubers.

If I was gonna say solo baal on P8, with a hdin/smite hybrid, I'd use the setup I described.

Yeah EBOTD on a hdin merc isn't good at all ur right

5k-22k, that's 13.5k average.
vs ubers that's 3.3k, baal and diablo have 50% resist so 1.5k on them, meph has 20% so 2.7k vs him. Ubers have 650k life. Your merc is not even doing enough damage to counter uber's hp regeneration lmao
