Ok, so I've chosen my server and class. Now I'm curious about EVERYTHING honestly. Items, stats, talents, etc. I need to know EVERYTHING you guys can tell me about Hammer pallies! And if anyone plays US West Ladder. Thanks SO MUCH in advance!

I play US West Ladder,

Theres just too much to tell you buddy, you really just have to play and experience it yourself.

Hammer Paladins are the best for PVM
They suck for PVP

some poop behind trees without wiping afterwards

Your wrong i dominate with my libby
probably one of if not the best all around pvp chars in the right hands

But then again so is every other char, in the right hands of course


I figure its all up to the Duelist not the character itself, or not as much.

Hmm... what are some other elite PVP builds, say top 5?

Edit: Also Ares, what's your account name?

In my opinion

Most versitile pvp chars are

Liberator
Bvc
Ele Druid

Account name is Sti. with the period... shh keep that on the downlow buddy.


and Tap I agree with you BVC tear it up big time.



Kururps i might just give you my account...

Haha why would you do that Ares?

Don't know if you noticed but I have given out quiet a lot of free shit around here, so why not more?
Plus I really never play Diablo, if I do its just to make another character to give away.
Soooo I'll see...

Well, that would be greatly appreciated, although the entire account is not necessary. However to gear up my hammer pally would be awesome! As well as some quick tips for trading, making 'money' (gear), my talent build/stat build.

People will probably dis-agree, but this is my build at 91. Europe ladder.

Helm - Shako
Amulet - Maras
Weapon 1 - Heart of the Oak
Weapon 2 - Call to Arms
Shield 1+2 - Pally Spirit with the lowest req's you can find.
Gloves - Frosties or Magefist(Upped if you like)
Rings - Sojs or some nice 10 fcr rares with dual stats and life+mana.
Armor - Enigma Light Plate or Breast Plate.
Belt - Arach
Boots - Waterwalks or Sandstorms

Stats -

Strength - None
Dexterity - None
Vitality - All
Energy - None

You can pile some into dexerity for Max Block, but it does take away a big chunk of your life. In PvP it's ALWAYS a one hit kill anyway, and in PvM Full rejuvs come a plenty.

Skills -

Max Hammer
Max Conc
Max Vigor
Max the other synergy. (I can't remember it)
And then as much as you can into holy shield.

I have never died in PvM, and with tele, switch to conc and hammer. It's awesome in PvP.

I end up with 4k life with a shitty cta1, 23% block. If you perf your stuff you can end up with 5.5k-6k life easy.

This is just my build, don't bother trying to flame me about how wrong it is, because I don't care. It works for me.

EDIT - Forgot about Merc.

A2 Nm merc with Insight ETH CV. Unlimited mana, freeze for ez tele and 3k-4k damage with your conc aura.

Oh finally somebody that plays on west. I have a ***ly Smiter and Mfer Hdin. Add KazeSmiter and KazeHammer.

what exactaly are the Liberator and BVC?
