Ah im wondering why it took so many hits. Low lvl hammer. Hamerdins at high lvl can take out a lvl 99 with one hit. It can do 10000 dmg. And yes i hate them as well.
The only defense you have against Blessed Hammer is +all resist gear, and "Magic Damage Reduced By x" gear. Best you can do is get 75% magic resistance from prismatic gear, and get a high amount of life.
Beyond that, play smart, and you can kill them easily.
I'm perfectly aware of that. They will reduce damage, but not by a respectable amount in any case. They are, however, a defense against them.
I never said it would be any better than tin foil.
The main thing to do vs. a Hammer is to anticpate his next moves. Basically, the same tactic 09 barbs used vs. sorcs, except a hammerdin's spell is a little more restricting, making him easier to predict.
exactly. I also hate those trapsin's, another cheap character when it comes to dueling, even with max light resis they are hard to beat. Unless you tele and orb/blizzard them then they dead easy.
