Does anyone else hate Hammerdin's?

[HandOfHeaven]

I hate them. I can never really stand up to them with my pally. Sure i've killed quite a bit, but just like 2-3 hammers and i'm dead.

I say u just make 1 urself...

[HandOfHeaven]

Oh i am. He's a level 21 right now. Also i am making a blizzard sorc to own mephi so easily.

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.

[HandOfHeaven]

Well he does have 50% damage reduction. Maybe it was more like just 2.

[Medieval Bob]

Damage reduction doesn't work on magic damage. (Does it?)

[Sovereign]

Nope pretty sure it doesnt.

[Vollstrecker]

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.

[Medieval Bob]

Magic damage reduced by X sucks against hammerdins as the x falls between between 3 and 15. I'd assume a maximum of like... 50.

A high level hammerdin with elite gear and +skill charms would still be doing.... 11950 damage?

[Vollstrecker]

I'm perfectly aware of that. :D 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. ^_^

well .. i really don´t like paladins
im my opinion they are boring to play with..

so i made an assassin .. (if u know what i mean)

[blckshdwdragon]

magic cant be resisted only magic reduce by X is the only thing that works and u are playing a veteran player u wont win if ur melee

+ to all resists also adds to Magic resistance, it's just not visible. Why do you think "Lower Resist" increases Bone Spirit damage?

Veteran players wouldnt make such a cheap character..

[HandOfHeaven]

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.

[Luhizot]

Orb/Blizzard ?

Kill my assassin with a cold sorc and I give u my account

rofl

[HandOfHeaven]

What's so funny? I have killed many because i got pissed at never killing them with my pally. I have an orb and a blizzard sorc. Both seperate.

[Vince]

I hate them... but not because they're strong..


(what about magic absorb for handling hammerdins?)

[Sovereign]

Doesn't exist in large enough quantities to matter. Refer to my earlier post...
