Especially if you have the spirit runeword for armor and Ancient’s Pledge for the shield which I really recommend you doing, just kill countess a couple times and craft those simple runes in the horadric cube. Also learn how to aim blessed hammer, usually the left upper corner is a good spot, but try others too

Was torn between summon necro and hammerdin. Haven't played pally for few ladders now so going with some hammers this time 🔨🔨🔨

Hello Mr Llama! I loved this guide, and I've been loving your content for a long time, thanks so much for breathing new life into an old favorite of mine! You're the reason I still play! One nice-to-have on these guides . . . You could do a section at the end where you got to some of the trouble spots and favorite farming spots for the character. Farming is probably a video all on it's own, but a great example is this Hammerdin who has teleporr, but probably not as fast as a sorceress. So, is this build fast enough to hit some of the prime chests in Hell? Or, does the odd hammer angles make certain rooms especially good or bad to clear? A little explanation on this would be awesome! Especially as the blog posts from the past have dissapeared over the years.

Maxing out Blessed hammer asap seems like a bit of a trap as it makes it expensive to cast. Putting more points into the synergies earlier will increase the blessed hammer damage without increasing its mana cost. Currently at 25 on my hammerdin and it feels like im playing a potion chugging simulator.

I can make another HC character with boosted items and speed-run Acts 1-4 + Q1 in Act 5, do the quest on any item I want, then delete the character!!

Thanks mate, nice guide!

don't respec out of holy fire till you've finished act 2 normal. . teleport staves aren't till 24, and maggot lair with hammers will kill your experience with the build 10000%. . esp if you're solo . if you're in a group, it wont matter so much. . . . and for the love of god, get a point into redemption the MOMENT you can. . . vigor + redemption will save your soul. . insight merc's have a tendency to die in sh*tty gear. and redemption + dual spirits will let you farm quite easily without being reliant on the merc's insight. or pot chugging. (one pack can easily fill up your mana bar). . and before enigma. vigor paired with a stealth chest will give you so much movespeed you can walk through literally everything. I tend to just get holy fire going for a little bit. and then swap over to shock and play tesladin for the remainder of normal. early nightmare really easy to get a lifesteal/mana steal runeword or weapon and just spam clear nm countess with vigor/zeal to build the first 2 spirits. and then go hammers. . using teleport staff to deal with maggot lair in a2. also a bit easier to kill some of the act bosses with holy fire/lightening early on. knowing llama he'll be speed running, and would probably finish maggot lair before he's even high enough to respec hammers (though in all likelihood he'll be the telesorc of the group). . but for us plebs, stick to fire for most if not all of normal. . act 4 is the earliest i'd swap over, if inexperienced with how hammers work.

Totally agree, jumping right at it around lvl 18 is unplayable.

Hey Mr Llama ty for this guide it was very helpful. Hammerdin was my favorite class in classic D2 but I thought you needed the gear and level to make one, didn't know you could go after hammerdin right out the gate, doing this instead of making a zealdin and then changing him over.

I had a question. Could you make a guide on how to properly control builds like the Hammerdin? I have no clue how to do it but i see ppl run them like Bots but they are in control.

I’m speced into holy shield. Where do I c my block % chance on console? Is it on the shield itself after you cast holy shield or is it somewhere on the advanced stat page?

(puts on uber high level rune word items)...."and that's pretty much all you need to do" Oh. Ok.

My first build will probably be a frozen orb/fireball Sorc. Hammerdin was a really close second, but you just cant beat teleport imo. Once Enigma becomes more common then Hammerdin all the way.

I'm on my first playthrough (D2R) so I don't have all this sick gear premade to help level a hammerdin. I have bad mana problems but even then I can still see how powerful this build is

Hi. I followed this build and have pretty decent gear at level 87 (no enigma just viper though). Maxed res etc. Pindle still 1shots me every time (before I can even cast a hammer). Feel like I’m doing something wrong but can’t work out what. Chaos is simple for me alone in like a 4 player game but pindle just one shots

for maggot lair, shop a teleport charge staff from drognan in act 2, tele past the mobs into a bigger chamber and kill there or just tele through the whole lair and tp back to town to recharge the staff when needed

mr llama. is it possible to set up hammerdin in a way that also work as a smiter? i currently dropped one point on fanatism and wears goblin toes with fleshrender on swap for smiting some bosses, can i take this to the next level and have some swap gear to solo ubers?

With the shield, I have a Sacred Rondache shield with the Spirit runeword. I assume why the Monarch shield with Spirit is preferred for Paladins (in lieu of Herold of Zakarum) is for the higher block chance, right? Mine has 58% but the Monarch in the video has 75%. The other stats seems roughly the same.

New player here, I started my character on standard mode, am I going to miss out on stuff by not selecting the expansion mode? Also what's up with the ladders. Level 12 paladin 💪🏿

Firestorm/fissure(oak sage) Druid, and firebolt/fireball(teleport/static) Sorc both clear Normal at a fast, safe, and satisfying rate the entire game aside from having to kite Duriel through Fire DoT. The gear Stealth and Leaf are incredibly easy to craft low-level runewords. Andariel in Nightmare is weak to Fire and drops decent gear for casters and other classes you might want to raise. Both builds can respec adequately in Nightmare before Act4 with the fire resist mobs, Sorc has multiple respec options that can clear content without much gear, Druid has the storm build option. Sorc I found easy to get Resistances on my gear, Druid has Cyclone Armor to help til you get more Resistances. 10%, 20%, and 30% Faster Cast Rate is easy to obtain and each give the Druid a newer breakpoint for faster cast time (FCR falls off after) so you don't need to wait forever between his casts. There are plenty of fast options but these are both braindead and effortless and will get you to Hell difficulty.

Thoughts on Hammerdin as character 1 for D2R?

Hi MrLlamaSC I would like to know if it's worth the extra dexterity points when you want to have 125fcr? Because when you take off the Zaka and put a Spirit Shield on, you lose 30% of the chance to block, which Zaka gives you. So you will need to add more points to dexterity. Is it worth it or I should stick with the Zaka?

Holy Freeze merc is also good offensively for Hammerdins. Fast mobs acting sporadically can be more difficult to kill as a Hammerdin as your attacks are so indirect and tele-stomping Fast elite mobs doesn't work well all the time. But with the Holy Freeze aura it works pretty much all the time.

So because of the breakpoints, is there any reason to get FCR on gear specifically below 75%?

@aliebrubaker7473

2 жыл бұрын

Yeeessss. Any time you can hit a break point without sacrificing too much elsewhere (like +skills, all res, etc...) you should. Every time you go down a frame you're teleporting faster and dealing more damage. If you just can't hit 75, do 48. If you can't hit 48, do 30. There is no value to hitting between breakpoints though. Having 74 fcr is functionally the same as having 48. Your spell will take 11 frames in both situations on a pally. There is a hidden breakpoint for every class (for pally its at 86) where the attack will actually fire one frame faster even though the whole attack takes the same number of frames. So 86 = 10 frames but the attack will land on frame 6. 75 = 10 frames but the attack will land on frame 7. Reeeeally splitting hairs at that point but if your gear gets you close to 86 it might be worth it to adjust a piece to hit 86.

Great guide.

Honestly, now that D2:R on PC has quick hotkeys...I can see this build getting stronger simply because you wont have to swap between teleport and aura manually....just tap teleport and itll automatically go back to your aura after the cast so your fingers wont get quite as tired from having to swap between Tele/Conc Aura/Holy Shield. I know a lotta purists probably don't like this change but....having grown up on D2 (I literally beta tested the original version hard to get more old school D2 player than that) adding a kinda mock "modern" action bar made the game so much better than it already was, and made this build SO much more fun, the Auras almost feel like a constant passive now.

To add to what the other commenter said, you get one respec that you can cash in at akara as part of your reward for completing the game's first quest (The Den of Evil). So you get one per playthrough, for a total of three. Just adding this so nobody gets the impression that you get all three right off the bat.

One thing this build is missing is how to deal with the Magic Immunes in Baal wave 2. I know llama did a playthrough, but it would be super useful to see how to manage that, since that is the very rare instance where a Hammerdin can get hard countered.

Found magefist at lvl 30 with my holy fire paladin.

when i post dumb questions i almost never get an answer, but i always ask anyway so here goes. i noticed that concentrate adds 15% damage per point but the synergy skills are 14% each, wouldn't that make it better to max the aura before the synergies? i know it seems minor but you mentioned maximizing damage.

Concentration gives a 7.5% damage bonus to Blessed Hammers not 15% (50% of the bonus). It's not explained at all in the skill trees which in reality it should and I suspect if Blizzard were still developing / caring about D2 it would have been addressed but it never was. You can test this yourself, just do the math for your % damage bonus on your base hammer damage and you'll see it will only increase your damage with top end gear to about 12k rather than what the tooltip would suggest of 21k damage. I personally max my hammers, add 1 point into all required skills then max vigor (for utility purposes as it benefits a lot of people when leveling, which is when you won't have Engima) and once I have done that I alternate between concentration and blessed synergies. There was a thread on reddit before about it, but I can't find it. Though I do have access to the spreadsheet someone created: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qwEF1WLkypbzYWgwRWhvmwtc2IIW_z-hlBdCDHsQZYI/edit#gid=1370905430

Meta is Blizz Sorc. Hammerdin without Enigma can't compete.

Top G content right here

Is it a sin if I make an Enigma in a Kraken Shell?

Don’t sleep on an Upped & Socketed Viper Magi until you can make an Enigma. Socket with an Um rune you can get up to 50 AR. Or you can put a P Topaz for some magic find. Either way that 30 FCR is invaluable from the armor slot. Oh and for a belt you can craft a caster belt with up to 10 FCR…only way to get FCR from the belt slot until you can find an Arachnid Mesh. Plus you can roll up to 24 FHR on the caster belt as well making it a super good option.

@thickock45 All Resist. It also stands for Attack Rating …I should have abbreviated AllRes looking back at my post it’s not clear. The resists number vary from 20-35 on magi so getting a perfect all res roll and socketing with an Um rune is super good. I run that on many caster characters if I can’t make enigma.

All this high level gear is basically only found in hell correct?

What did you shoo away? That was one of my favorite parts lol
