hammerdin
 

Ive heard these guys are reall, really friggin good. I am considering starting one. Anybody got any recomendations on where to put my skill points and what gear to use? Thanks ahead of time for your help/

How about use the search button? There's all kinds of tips for hammerdins lying around.

Lets see...for hammerdin...

Max Santuary
No points on blessed hammer
Max Holy Bolt
Max Holy Fire
Max Resist Fire

Basically max concentration and hammer, then max vigor I think

Max: Concentration / Blessed Hammer / Vigor / Blessed Aim.

Those are your primary skills, and your synergies.

Edit: I have a friend that has like a 9.2k Hammer.

Yeah really, search button is a underestimated feature !

Max hammer + synergy, conentration. For more info use search button. There been a few thread about it.

Why concentration?

Are defadins any good (defiance)?

my ahmmerdin does 5.6k dmg

It gives dmg bonus .. AKA synergy.

Wrong. Concentration aint a synergy,
The reason for concentration is that it's the only aura that boost blessed hammer damage.

sry mr Diablo. But LIKE I SAID..adds dmg... bottom line.

You also said synergy...
