Part 1. Diablo 2 Hammerdin Paladin Guide

[exisTxD]

Whats the point of using 10 fcr ring when you don't hit 125 fcr anyway? Why use coa when shako is better for pve? no max block?

[palmmute21]

where the hell did you get those items? no seriously...

[lamicorp]

1 6 6 6 6 defense^^

[Madhofd]

@HotAsHellPingPong ... If i dont spend any points till 80.. How the f am i gonna survive untill 80????

[Zachskillz]

@madhofd i think you should just go with random skills and test them all out then use a respec once you are able to get blessed hammer

[RoFLqKFTW]

Pefetic chance to block xaxaa 31% pff ! Why not show us when you make it 75 % ?

[Proaudiostore]

Best shield is spirit in vortex .you neee res an fast cast rate.zaka is shit here.An by

the way :when you have 75 chance to block you dont need damege reducet.

[Nikolai84D]

And yes indeed, just put that raven instead of this faster castrate ring and you have atleaset more chance to block.

[Nikolai84D]

Man, shaco(ber)/zaka(ber)/raven and defenately Enigma Mage mlate is so much better. And str 50 / dex 75 and the rest in vit is very good.

[egervari]

Of course, if you're dueling, than maybe Coa is better... but you can use treachery or something to get the Damage resistance instead... and in that case, the shako is still better.

[egervari]

Coa is a good helm, but it's overkill. A hammerdin is so indestructable as it is that surprisingly shako is probably better.

[20Marcellus]

nice video,thanks : )

[WawPwned]

31% chance to block ? lol thats a fail but still nice video

[feeblemind]

@WawPwned your obviously retarded and dont understand how hammerdins work. go kill yourself do us all a favor.

[leftunder334]

@feeblemind Dude, go to a psych ward...you need some anger management.

[XxMrTOPSECRETxX]

i want to know how to get all of the charms and gear you have.Excpecialy the runes. Where do you get the runes for it all.

[griffiththedark]

lol exile dosent have crushing blow

[griffiththedark]

lol he only had 31% ctb

[NgTuCkEr64360]

seeing those 2 bers in the crown makes me soo sad cause i need one for my enigma...

[bobfordeez]

i was rockin 17k hammers on my hammerdin.

[JHofvendahl]

why max holy shield? Wasn't concentration main aura?

[Daniel2374]

@JHofvendahl holy shield isn't an aura

[thenarutostickman]

LOL,lvl 92

[DiggyDog6265]

Hey, just a few things u can choose to listen or not, one

Shako, you could'v put a perfect topaz for 24% magic find. and save the ist

The hoto's resistance is also random from 30-40 you forgot to mention that

You also could have put a perfect diamond in your shield, just saving the rune

(i can tell you dont need it you have explicit gear, clearly alot of ists im sure your doin just find without those runes)

Other than that VERY GOOD hammerdin build, well done :)

[Xode334]

how do you make it a letter for a hot key?

[sanders910]

average is 12k? funny cause mine is 18k ...

[G3f0rce666]

With 125 Faster Cast, you will be alot faster and do alot more Dmg than with 75 Faster Cast only! You need a Spirit Shield in a Sacred Targe or a comparable Pala-Shield. Spirit should have 35 Faster Cast, or you will need some +FC in gear from second Ring or Amu with 10FC.

SpiritShield[35 FC] + ArachnidMesh[20 FC] + Ring with [10 FC] + Soj + Heart of the Oak [40 FC] + Trang-Ouls Gloves[20 FC] + Maras + Waterwalk = Best HDin. Random stats Spirit in second Slot instead of Zaka for +2 BO Skills

[Madhofd]

lol, when u are lvl 1... how do you build your hammerdin from therE? what stat point should u go for and what skills... i wanna know the build from lvl 1 plz.

[DeepAbsentia]

@Madhofd There's no need for that, is that hard to wait until you have a bunch of skill points so than you can max out all of them more clearly? Besides, hdin would be useless until 85, since hdins are used for the most extreme monsters and drops.

[Madhofd]

@DeepAbsentia So I shouldnt spend any skillpoint untill level 85? how should i survive that? -.-

[Hodovnik]

@Madhofd u can clear whole normal with just autoattack... u get ur dmg skill fast enough

[M4ST3Rof4LLGAMES]

@Madhofd well you can always do whatever then reset your skills... or you can just get someone to rush you and then just get everything how he has it...

[GreyGooseVodka555]

@Madhofd It dosnt really matter what skills you play when your lvl 1. Plus you can always use a token to reset ur stats/skills when your done lvling or gathering the gears. That's my opinion.

[HotAsHellPingPong]

@Madhofd Don't spend any points until level 80

[AosaBid]

@Madhofd If you happen to find out please share with me lol

I'm going to start to play this game soon[After I find my discs lol] and I want to be a Paladin

[drinkbudyXD]

@Madhofd get 1 point to might 7 to blessed aim,2 to vigor and concentration,1 to smite and charge to get to holy shield cause u need like 5 points in that,oh and 1 in redemption,1 in defiance,and max blessed hammers first,try to get some FCR

if you just started playing and its ur only char, first thing you should get a spirit shield and an enigma,and dont get too much str or dex,cause u need a lot in vit,and u can restat so you can put some points in energy

[iN3CROo]

hammerdins rape

[KrazieDave666]

haha you said vigger... lol jk nice vid

[MrD2lover]

lol theres one problem. wheres blessed aim. that makes you absoulute pro so get blessd aim too.

[TutGPhere]

IS SPIRIT GOOD FOR HAMMERDINS?

[tvaughanx]

why does everyone think dex is useless raises block rate that alone is worth it my barb owns bvb just because i have dex

[TheHolySpaezz]

@tvaughanx with a smiter or pally it is cuz yu can use holy sheild and raise def 200%

[PhillipGaul]

why coa????

[PhillipGaul]

lol 12k i did 20k hammer

[minigreat1418]

@PhillipGaul 19k is max liar.

[articuss]

@minigreat1418 Gives more than 19k damage with skill shrine. 18k damage is reachable on a one hammerdin. +2 skill helm +2 amu +2 pala / 3 hammer / 3 conc scepter +2 armor hoz 2x sojs / bks arach 9 combat sks anni torch battle command +18 all pala skills +11 combat skills +3 hammer +3 conc Level 52 hammer with level 41 conc deals 17991 - 18103 damage.

[minigreat1418]

@articuss Actually, the max you can make without buffs (Only battle command) is 17901 and it goes to 18600 i think when u put a skill shrine but 17901 is 18k and 18600 is 19k so it's not a precise way to tell it.

[PhillipGaul]

retard ur saying all the skills wrong

[SheLooked18ishh]

#LOL had to try it lol

[dkay182]

you may want to revise your playlist. pt 2 comes before pt 1. just a suggestion. good guide btw

[TheCardGuy521]

now i play diablo agian.just made a acc

[TheCardGuy521]

i used to play diablo 2 LOD..dont play anymore idk why..

[prototypegx]

you do know your FCR ring is uesless? FCR is in breakpoints. 75% and 125% are the 2 biggest. now since you dont use a spirit or a gg paladin ammy/tiara, you can't reach the 125%.

so hoto- 40% fcr, 20% fcr arach, 20% magefist - 80% and you are already breaking the breakpoint... so soj would be better than your ring

[BlueBlazeful2]

hey man not the best build but thanks for the vid

Hater kids hate :-D

( don't tell em' they just don't get laid )

[tylermoore94]

#FAIL

[xCobi]

u dosnt need a guid for lamerdin

[brollan93]

up the magefists

it does help

[Araneus21]

faster castrate... with a blessed hammer... thanks for the innuendo...

[MikkelpE91]

#LOL

[thewhambam22]

you fucked up your skills, you fucked up your attributes. your gears good though

[breaklock]

how to make a good pala fail

your ring is useless. you got hoto+archa+magefist=80fc. you need 75% for 10 frames, 125% for 9...

holy shild max but no dex, no max block? fail

[keith23uk]

I have no clue about paladins so this sure helps me out. Decided to rush a pala to see what they are like.

[Studioiceland]

Lol when you say bless-sed aim and just the word (bless-sed ) LOL you dont even say blessed you say bless-sed

[progo1]

@Studioiceland It's the correct way to pronounce it. Bless-ed.

[Ajvarh]

@Studioiceland That's the correct pronunciation, retard.

[94Stoka94]

Guy im relativly new to D2 bought it today and im building hammerdin and i want t ask should i use hammers from lvl 18 when i get it or is it onl good for higher lvls and if i should use hammers on lvl 18 how do i keep my mana up at that low lvl when guides say u dont put much points in energy , ty :)

[nnyy10]

@94Stoka94 dont use hammer from low level, only use it in higher lvls, since ur mana is very low and u dont have good eq yet to keep ur mana up

[DragonMoth34]

hammers arnt magic dmg they are physical

[fouremoi]

@DragonMoth34 LOLLLL ????????!!!

[d00m3M4st3r]

Huskers responsible for the creation of the token of absolution, magnificent tool to repair the baddest fuck ups of this game.

[Anjovah]

Seriously dude? Crappiest hdin i've seen for a long time. No dex? Yea.. i guess max block really sucks against barbs, werewolfs, zealers and other melee chars. That ring with 10fcr and 120 mana really made my day.

[IIlidanStormrage]

@Anjovah For my knowledge, there are no barbs, werwewolfs, zealers or any melee chars on PvM.

This is a mf hdin build, not for dueling.

[xrastinatora]

cool vid dude 

[gabpiou]

i have a hdin lvl 84 i make 15k-15k lol your pally suck dude

[MrAwesomesize]

@Obix89 Heart of the oak for raven and torch for hydra... lol

[Obix89]

Pause at 01:55 how can paladin have ravens and hidra????

[pichster]

@Obix89 heart of the oak and torch

[oab002]

i got 21 k noobies xD

[DisposableHeroFtw]

@oab002 to bad 21k is impossible...18.7k is the absolute max you can get.

[branko78963]

zealots anyone ?

[kissofaries]

Hammerdin with 16 vigor point :( what the hell?

[SuperHottieboy]

what up husker dont u play useast

?

[MrSunshine124]

if anyone is thinking about buying this game DONT, it is highly addictive especially when you get good.... btw hdins and smitrs are lameee

[DreamzKinky]

For a Hammerdin, you basically want to max Dex and Vit, what is the max number? I'm new to the game.

[Moshikashitenai]

@DreamzKinky There's no max number. Stats can be infinitely high. I had a barbarian that had stats in the trillions ;)

[WarlordWongo]

lol dexterity is the bread and butter of a hammerdin w/o 75% MB hammerdins are useless

[DreamzKinky]

@WarlordWongo So basically, to have a really good Hammerdin, you would want a lot of Dex?

[Codinia]

how did you get your map on the right like that??

[Moshikashitenai]

@Codinia Go to game options, go to automap options, there should be an option to change the size of the automap.

[Nesninja85]

lol... just lol

[cixoTxToxic]

I might buy the Hdin gear ob Ebay u should check it out

[cixoTxToxic]

Wow Cta is FAR better

[believeinvhanzz]

that build imo sucks, go to sell all that crap to Akara

[Arcterious]

Not only that, a 1 fana 1 smite hammerdin can do the ubers in 2 minutes or less with shoddy smiting gear. I've literally made a hammerdin that consisted of no more than a vex in smiting gear, if that, alongside some hammerdin stuff. Like spirit and enigma. I do 200 damage with smites and usually don't bother with fana since it isn't really a big deal, seeing as most of the damage against them is from open wounds and CB. No HOZ, No Last Wish, No Exile, No CoA, No CoH. I just simply rock.

[Arcterious]

Hammerdin is ONE of the best? No. It is simply the best. I've testing everything and it's the only one who can run EVERYTHING with next to no difficulties. The only thing they have problems with is the second wave of the baal run. Even then, with a strong merc, it isn't a big deal. Most all the other classes can do most everything without an issue, but ubers is a prime example. It's next to impossible to do it with another class. If you can, it takes 5-10 minutes just to do it. Theres more.

[Astrokillernaut]

lol i have the same amount of health on my hdin, but i have 75 block. good video though.

[Foxx488]

This dudes voice reminds me of the gay mexican guy on Family guy

[hayden2677]

wow lol this hammerdin would get owned in a chaos run seriously dude you need to pump up your dex till max block (with Holy Shield on) then rest on vitality.

[Mason72497]

Help meeeeeeee, I have enigma and when I tele i lose mana fast. I am lvl 75. I was told in the guide not to put any points into energy. What do I do?

[ximodou]

@Mason72497 you get you merc from A2 in Nightmare and you put im INSIGHT wep so you will regen mana like hell !

[hayden2677]

@ximodou Insight is is def the best wep now that they have removed Iron Maiden from the chaos sanctuary. lol it sucked how you had to do gold runs in private games just to get the gold needed to get merc back when he died from Iron Maiden.. but i preffer a rogue with ice bow anyways for chaos runs.

[ryancivil]

Thanks for the vids! how many strength points would you put into your guy if you are just going to use shako?

[DisposableHeroFtw]

@ryancivil a finished hdin should only have around +120 ish to str so u really dont need to put any pts into str

[tripleraven]

Wizzspike > hoto

[MrLilnuby]

how do i get sockets for my armor?

[PaperMan431]

@MrLilnuby u just find one that has sockets

[namebrandaddikt]

you need to max your concentration on not being a total dweeb.

[SammyBoi224]

My mfdin-

Max block

3k life

12k hams

Lvl 87

[BigBlue2765]

@SammyBoi224 Yeah lol my hammer does 10-11k lvl 81 with max def lol

[sonicxfav]

awesome guides man

[stretchypants123]

Does anyone know if you can make an auradin the same way in 1.13 as they could in the past?

[ruleram1]

i like the guide. more dexterity tho is what i would have done. Don't listen to the dumbasses that like to think they know better than you, everyone has their own style.

[stretchypants123]

Nice hammerdin guide - I've been neglecting the hammerdin for 4 years and now I'm making one because they're one of the best builds for mfing and rushing characters. With Enigma though, they can just about do everything already.

[ruleram1]

@stretchypants123 don't forget to put atleast 80-100 dexterity, this guy i think made a big mistake with not putting any dexterity into his guy, you need the dexterity to block attacks with your shield.

[stretchypants123]

@ruleram1 Thanks, I suppose it'll help me in the long run whereas if I were to put the rest of my stat points into vitality instead. I would definitely agree even more so for the Smiterdin.

[skayloss]

spirit is a better shield less skills but fcr makes the difference

[AoCranger]

hey! this is the guy with a body of a 8 year old

[exisTxD]

This must be some top secret hdin build..

It's not mf/pvm coz it has low dmg, low mf and it's not pvp coz it doesn't have any useful breakpoint's, bad resi, no block and low life.

[Froanite]

best weapon is wizard spike for him

[sc4ofi31d]

your pala is shit haha, 13k? you should really restat, and rename this video to the worst hammerdin guide ever.

[karpfenaut]

haters everywhere...

nice guide

[mitasubiszi2]

Btw - NEVER USE MORE MF THAN 150% !!!!!!!!!!

[ghygre]

Have u named youre enigma :o

[zodman1000]

nice lvls

[fouremoi]

but dude u sasted so many skills in shity skills ....

[fouremoi]

stfu wit dex wtf is that shit..i built like 35 h-din and they all fucking pwn...and i put 15 pts in dex....stfu wit blok rate...h-din dont need fucking block rate...just need hit hti and vitallity...and def..

[banksboy88]

#epicfail

[elblaskigitarzystagg]

o kurwa

[lubobeatbox95]

:D 31 chance to block....put some point into dex man

[DisposableHeroFtw]

13k hammers...i have 17k-18k #LOL

[Killua579]

@DisposableHeroFtw i have 30k hammer but my program does that and its on b.net

[d00m3M4st3r]

@DisposableHeroFtw youre not even 125//86. stfu X_x

[fouremoi]

@DisposableHeroFtw yea now wahts ur fcr ? and take a pic of it

[hellomynameisjulius]

@DisposableHeroFtw ...And how much FCR and life?

rofl.

[LucaTurilli89]

@DisposableHeroFtw probably you buy some expensive equipment? #lol

[DisposableHeroFtw]

31% block rate? lol #FAIL

[crossadam]

Dude, Dexterity needs to be like 130 at least to get Max Block

[jean9910]

ive seen 20K dmg

epic

[exisTxD]

This build is bad. In my opinion 75block, 86fhr, and 125fcr is a must.

[WwAste]

chance to block 31% lol what a fail

[romiere]

what are you recording with ?

[puma8d]

lol

[TomValedro]

give max block pls u noob lol wtf gtfo u just buy shit.

[godly74]

a good budget ammy for this build is any amulet with the "monk's" prefix in it. These items always give +1 to pally skills.

[TheKingShuffle]

Shako mara soij bk wartraveller palaspirits 45@res 35 is a must! Not Zaka dude

[ExtraSpicy121]

If you're going for a good pk and pvm build. You would put shako with either ber rune or cham reason for CBF. And hoz ber'd or pdiamond, OR If I remember el rune for 7% increase block. And dual bk rings since merc is gonna have insight. The next thing is get rid of mage fists and put some fucking trang gloves. You get an extra 30% cold res and 20% fcr from trang gloves making it more superior.

[DokkDoubleG]

i woulda fucked you up

[HoIlowlchigo]

ur weak.

Hammer din doesnt use COA, have u out of ur freaking mind??!! they don even need FHR they are magic calss.

no max block..sure i got 4k hp im gonna survive weee........oh wait arrows, shet zomgwtfbbq!!! they u see red text in mid screen be4 u know wats going on.

hmm concentration.... ya open it and spam while u got killed be4 ur hammer hots anything. u need switch charge and concentration retard.

13k dmg....and wats that shitty inventory...i got 15k ezly. srsly stop misguide ppl

[112ibo]

@HoIlowlchigo make a video you proooo!!!!

[hotboi141]

How do u hot key moves to buttons like "x" or "w"?

[HoIlowlchigo]

@hotboi141 in opition, change skill1 to x

[alk4line]

you have low dmg:O i have 15k-15k :O and

[mefzg1]

Nice videos !!! How long did you play diablo 2 to get all of these items???

[TallKan211]

this is the weakest hmmrdin build ever

[LucaTurilli89]

@TallKan211 what is the stronges hammerdin build?

[TallKan211]

@LucaTurilli89 its an ezy build the great think about hammrdins is that just like smitters u can either go the pk route or the solo/bot in hell route in this build his gear is average and wasted points in to meaning less skillz. i would have to show my toon in a game or just go online and there are many postings about the hammrdin itself my hammrdin does 15-16k with only a torch and annnills in the invintory along with over 45k defense (after holy shield of course) and close to 3k in life

[FriedChicken192]

you know a guy w/ the acct sonofwolf99?

[hellbringer66]

Hey, I used your guide to make my Hdin, Jesuspeices, on West Non-Ladder.

I've got to say, my hdin is so much better than yours. I do 16-17k per hamma

[equake7]

do u buy your stuff of the internet

[TwiztidShet]

hoto - Arch - Magefist = That covers your Fcr.

Slap an um in a shako for some extra res, maybe a perf dia' in a zaka.

Eni, Mara's, 2 soj's and Sandstorm boots (My pref') And thats pretty much as solid as it gets,

And whoever moaned about H'dins needing a torch/Anni... Yo, show me any build in the game that would say no to em ;)

[ultimatefighterispro]

i miss my old school whirlwind barb i would wreck your ass >:D like 35k dmg he was mauler

[lubobeatbox95]

good dmg man

[master457854]

This Hammerdin is crapp because you need max block and you need torch+anni and i would use sacred targe 45res with spirit because it has more resistances and max 35 fcr

you need fcr !!!

do it like me and your hammadin will much better

[VicJLo]

Nice video, i use almost the same build as u, the only differences are 1 more soj and shako with um

[iiSTABxTHExNOOBz]

great vid

[gabba1gabba1hey]

I just started playing diablo and am a level 22 paladin.

I just kind of winged my spec at first, but i got to act 3 and got my ass kicked.

so i respced to hammerdin, but it may just be act 3, but my hammers hardly ever hit the little demon guys, and the shamans 2 shot me with the fire stuff.

anyone have any advice?

[Tveitan92]

I have a Paladin lvl 28. Blessed Hammer have skill lvl 7 and Concentration have lvl 4. When I use Blessed Hammer my damage is 60-64. But when I put Concentration on, the damage is still 60-64. Why?
