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...)
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.
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
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
