Get a Wizspike, Frostburn gloves, Herald of Zak shield, couple of SOJ's, Shako, and you are in business. For armor, if you are poor like me Skin of Viper works though the Guardian Angel has better resistance figures. Most people use Travellers for boots but I'm sure others are out there that work. Mara's would be my choice for ammy.

I had never made a hammerdin either until recently but I was amazed at how quick they become lethal in PvM.

Some of the other regs in here probably have better advice though than me, especially for PvP...
