With the hammerdin build, massive mana and massive mana regeneration (and potions 
) are your best freinds. Early on, sticking p Sapphires (perfect sapphires) in helm/armor is a very good idea.
With this comes great responsibility. Far too often has a person tried to max BH right away. They find thmselves chugging potions just to kill 2 monsters. There is a guide around here somewhere on the mathematically correct maximum damage hammerdin... if I ever find it i'll post it here...
And Early on, i would just stick to 1 or 2 hammers. Later when your mana pool can take more stress, move on to small fields (4-5 hamers) and, eventually, your ultimate goal will be to be able to spam continuosly for a very long period of time.
Baal Runs - Stand at the third row of torches (or fourth?) so that the monsters aqcuire you, move at you, and baal doesnt curse you. after baal sinisterly laughs, count to about 3, then start spammin a hammerfield. If you time it right (it takes some work) your first hammer should impact right on the first monster. HOWEVER!!! be very careful, monsters directly below you can't be hit by hammers.
