My hammerdin is dropping hammers that do 5.6 to 5.7k You max hammers, concentration, blessed aim, vigor and holy shield and thats all you need. Shield works great for mobs that get in too close because you can smite them and knock them back into your hammers for an instant kill.

Bruh, it is totally fine that you won’t kill everybody at the first levels of your blessed hammers, you need to aim them and on the first levels they don’t deal that horrendous damage, but maybe around in the middle of the act II, if you are doing everything right you will see the power of hammerdin. 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

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.

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.

A lot of people do paladins wrong for a few reasons: 1. Do not use Trang-Oul's claws unless you have to, always use magefist gloves because of the regenerate mana 25%. The rest you get into cold resists with trang-oul's is not needed. 2. If you are running magefists and an insight then you do NOT need SOJ's, the extra mana is not needed. Get rid of the SOJ's and switch to 2x Bul-Kathos Wedding Bands for the extra life you get. 3. If you have Engima then your paladin is going to be stronger if you upgrade the Hearld of Zakarum from a Gilded Shield to a Zakarum Shield. Bare in mind you don't need as much dex if you are doing this because the Zakarum has a higher base block chance than a Gilded. 4. If you're running Baal / Andarial then I would recommend using Sandstorm Treks, however if you're doing other bosses/magic find swap them out for War Travelers with decent magic find, the extra 5 vitality isn't worth more than up to 50% magic find. 5. A lot of paladins try and magic find by swapping out their belt for goldwrap, their gloves for chance guards and it isn't worth it because of the drop in FCR. The only changes that are worth it for magic find is boots (War Travelers), rings (Nagelrings) and potentially the amulet but I would only swap the amulet if you find a rare / crafted one with really good stats. At the very most once you are wealthy enough you can swap the Shako & HoZ for one with Ist runes in them, I personally always run both with Ber runes in up until I can get myself a 195%+ ED, Ethereal Upped HoZ with a Zod Rune in it

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.

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.

If you're a Tele boss hunter, cold sorc for moat tricking meph. if you're a walker I'd agree with Vlam and add an option of Skele Summoner with Amp and Corpse explosion combo for mobs, and decrepify and clay golem for bosses (slow target merc weapon as well) bosses will barely attack and keep your Skeles alive.

blizz sorc is astronomically better than any other starter build. you can literally farm hell mephisto naked and find 90% of the A-tier uniques that exist. You don't have to play blizz, but if you want the best that's what you're after.

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.

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

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.

Yeah doing a respec that soon is not a good move, I would suggest doing zeal and holy fire until about level 26 or a little bit later if you can squeeze out those levels. Also, do a dual spirit. Those two points each help greatly. Lore would also be a good idea.

I've been loving the content so far! Been years since I played the game, OG, of course lol. But I'll be darned, Im back into it like its a new game again. So refreshing. For me, my paladin was my 2nd character. So my sorc farmed most of the gear(always make sorc first!). I just mostly increased IAS and AR , and meleed everything until 18. Worked just fine, and saved a respec for later. A lot of the starter sets are crap....buuuttt, if you happen to get one, they really are a great start for a new char. Sigon for barb is great for the same reason, until 18 or so. Isenhart for paly worked great also, then just some filler gear. Its a cheap investment, just inventory space. Yes, it is a str dump at the beginning to use them at the right lvl, but it works out fine long term. And again, saves a respec. I think I gave the paly 1 point of might, because, why not. But I dont think I spent a single sp on the barb until 18 lol. This video is a great way to go also! Again, all that work is to just save a respec. I always found I respec melee chars more than most.

Your goal should be to hit 125 FCR and 10K hammers when you reach endgame. You can get by with 75 FCR when you are mf'ing but it gets to be a slog by the time you reach level 92 and want farm Hell Terror Zones. I prefer the prayer merc with insight and a cure helm over the holy freeze merc. You really don't need the utility of holy freeze once you get going. Being always topped off and having the ability to remove poison and curses without activating the aura yourself dramatically increases your clear speed.

I’m new to D2, and I have to say most of this video feels like you are speaking in a foreign language. It also doesn’t help that you click around on everything so fast that I have no idea what you are doing. I’ve watched some beginner’s guides and I have some idea of what is going on, but all the acronyms and specific names for everything is really overwhelming. If your goal is to teach, please consider slowing down, explaining more, and avoiding jargon. Not everyone has been playing this game for 3000 hours.

1) You put your extra points into resist to lightning. That depends on your farming ground. If you play a lot of Baal, that makes sense because of the souls. I put my left skills into resist to FIRE. Because of chaos sanctuary. 2) Regarding the merc I don't agree with your helm and armor choise. What is the mercs purpose on a Hdin? Deal dps? hell no, the Hdin is OP as funk. He doesn't need more dmg. His purpose is to spend you insight aura for teleporting - as you pointed out - and holy freeze to give you a few more seconds in oh-shit-moments. So the only thing he has to do is SURVIVE. The best way to equip him for this purpose is Treachery for the ias, the fhr and ofc for the all res/dr buff and Gaze with max DR + Cham. This way he gets 35% DR (20% Gaze and 15% buff) and max res very high stacked. To sustain a safe leech flow you have ias and fhr from treachery and cbf from the Cham'd gaze. That was my Hdin merc setup back in the days.

If you play chaos sancuary I'd suggest to use waterwalks for the +5% max fire res. You can only die from the fire breath and it makes a huge difference, even more if you put the left skills into fire resist as I stated before. With 90% fire res vs. the standard 75% you increase your effective life by 250%. In that area.

The Hammerdin was not the mostplayed anymore after the bug got fixed that enabled him to solo kill the Magic Immune Mobs. As long as you can dodge the Enemies capable of casting Lightning, the Armymancer with the right Equip is better at clearing even Baal on Nightmare, because no mob negates Physical dmg. I think Trapsins and a type of Sorceress (don´t remember which) was the way to go last time i played. It MIGHT have been Frost Sorc, because there is a Skill that gives you Resistance reduction on enemies.

Hi, thank you for this huge guide! I'm just finding my way around the Hammerdin (just completed Nightmare), and got a Herald of Zakarum! Is it worth using up my 2nd Larzuk quest on it, for just +1 socket and an extra +22 All-Res? Or is there some other "must-have" Unique item I should use the quest on instead? Thanks! *Solved* : I answered my own question, as I realized I'm not limited to just 3 Larzuk quests. 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!!

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.
