hammadin stat points?

hi, i can wear now every item i need...

so what should i max?

dex for maxblock
and life ?

str is not important i think, because i do not need more(can wear my equipment)

i got nearly 400mana, and some maek so i got no mana probs on maxlvl hammer casting...

comments pls

you should have just enough dex to get 75% block at lvl 80 (i think that's about 100 dex if you wear hoz)..the rest of your points go into vita..max that. i'm not sure if you put points into mana..if you did..that's a mistake, cuz redemption/meditation will take care of your mana

ok, thx, then i put some more than 45 points into dex loool

and what merc should i choose?
act2 defiance will add me quite a lot of defense! (is usefull for maxblock)

but there are monsters i cant kill, arnt they??????
so act5 barb would block maybe more(but a act2 def mercy blocks even more??????? with shaft and äth crown of thiefs and the 15ll unique thresher...)


comment pls

There is only one monster that a hammerdin can't kill, and he is somewhere in act 3 that you prolly won't go. So for you merc I would go with Act 2, he seems like the best overall choice, since he has higher def.

with defiance aura to increase my def?

Or you could get holy freeze merc, kinda usefull to slow enemies.

I have had both A2 and A5 mercs at high lvls. IMHO, A5 mercs can't really hold a candle to the usefulness of act2 mercs. My lvl90 hammerdin has a Holy Freeze merc and he only dies to IM.

my hammadin should kill everything quite fast!
so i think i'll take a defiance act2 merc.....
but i still need my hoto and maras....
i got everything else

act 2 holy freeze merc..no doubt about it

Ah, i dissagree quite..

My act 5 merc with 08 4/15 ias gaze, eth botd CB, and etheral stone does QUITE well against any monster.. 3k dmg

before i take a act 5 one, i'd choose act2 merc with might!
he makes up to 8 k dmg with around 25+ ll, or 10k with only 7-10ll....

i took a defiance one yesterday

ok im lost first of all HOLY FREEZE are ownage!!!! i love them so much ). in a non-gay way haha. but ya ummm if ur a hammerdin u put one skill into holy shield and u only need about 80 dex cuz it will max block % which is all u need, then just recast when needed again

u shouldn't have gotten the act 2 defiance in nm, get the act 2 defiance in hell because it starts out at like level 75 and up so u dont have to level him much and it will be easy for you

You can't get an Act2 Defiance in NM. Defensive would be a Holy Freeze merc.

vollstrecker is of course right....

i got a lvl 74 defiance merc from hell
(he will got max defiance skill with 94, thats possible)
