Armor choice

What armor is better for a Hammerdin? Choose between Skin of Vipermagi and Que-Hagan's Wisdom, or whatever it is called. I know everyone wants an Enigma but I am not very rich. Or is there a better armor other than Enigma that could be used, especially before lvl 60 or so?

Have never built a Pally for PVM so this is the first shot at it.

And, what boss, act, or monster will cause the most problems for a Hammerdin?

Thx for the help...

For your armor I think that Que-Hagans is better, but you can use the Skin of Vipermagi. Also no problems for you except a monster in act 3 that prolly will never encounter, he is in the middle. Also The maggot lair because it is small, so have someone help you.

I use skulders
+1 skills, def is quite ok!
and MOST MF on armor!

I use upgraded Vipermagi. If you're ever on when I'm online (and not botting), I'll give ya a vipermagi... Bot picks em up, and I don't have any use.

Just get a Lem, a Ko, and a Pdiamond, and you'll have a ~800 def Vipermagi.

I have the two runes and can get a pdiamond. I have a vipermagi as well. Is this a cube recipe or something for ladder?

Thx

Ya, it's ladder only.

i'd go for the magi..nice resists...i'd even um it after i upgrade it

I'd disagree, tal armor belt ammy gives the highest I've seen.. armor 112 belt 11 with ammy 65 so that's 188 i think anyway... goldwrap 30 skullders(Assuming you have a level 99) 99+24 and an ammy well if you had a 40 ammy? 30+40+99+24= 193... although 5 mf more... tals gives +2 skills and also resist and some other stuff which I don't know because I'm in the library "studying" for exams


Although that had nothing to do with your question, I'd say ViperMagi. Gear doesn't always make the best chars... sometimes yes but skill > gear most of the time

Tal's belt can give 15. Therefore, you'll only have more with Skullders if you're level 99. At level 98, it's the same amount.

However, this is for a Paladin, so he won't want to use Tal's ammy as it's only +2 Sorc Skills.

depends on your other gear, the main thing is to get around 50% fcr, lots of life and resists. More resists is good for a4 and 5 for the obliv knights that cast lower resists imagine if a4 and 5 monsters spawn in world stone lower resists + burning souls = death to the unexperienced. the only problem i ever encountered was the maggot lair, due to small tunnels, so i compensated with a decent merc might take a while to solo it but its a 1 time thing for every difficulty

i have a lvl 87 paladin and i dont use either of those. I do a lot of rushing and so i use guardian angel (tgods too). I like mine very much as it gets ur resists to 90/90/95/90 (with the right other items) and lightning absorb. those souls in worldstone are just little clouds to my pally
