Hammerdin vs. Lightning Sorc

[kgformvp21]

In your opinion wut would be a better match for mm.bot (eldrich/shenek/pindle) hammerdin or the lightning sorc?... Wuts quicker and more effective? I am using the hammerdin right now, but would the lightning sorc be better for me to use? And wut is good mf to have for this bot?

Please respond asap.. so i can start a lighting sorc ..
P.S I really appriciate the fast responses and quick help

Lightning sorc would be faster. And anywhere around 300-400 MF will be fine.

[DaRK_IMMoRTAL]

yes but hammers are pure pvm. whichever is godlier is the one you should go with. -.- duh

[commandwolf]

hammerdin if u got the resources and if u want like 100% sucess or sorc if u want more mf but a less sucess rate

Not really because my sorc only had 2 fails in 300 runs before.

[TeH SaNdMaN]

id say the lite sorc on acct that his attack is ranged and with pindle that comes handy cuz the other 2 are pus*ies lol

[WesHawk]

i light sorc with infinity merc will be faster/cheeper/and have more MF

[Devildog69]

Well Light sorcs arent really cheap.
you need like griffs eye and an inifnity merc
if you rich then go ahead make a light sorc they are quick mfers

Not really, light sorc's are the cheepest if you play ladder because a hammerdin has to have enigma to do it. And you don't need griffs and infinity, I didn't have them and it worked perfect.

I'd perfer Light Sorc see how their cast rate is much better than Hammerdin. Also to add to what Kyle said, you don't need a griffon or infinity... you could get a shako and a tomb reaver for you merc and it would all work out fine. also from what i heard mercs get better mf than you do although i'm not sure if it's really true^^

[commandwolf]

all luck, but ur merc does get ur % magic find. if u equip him with mf% items, he will have more mf than u will. that doesnt mean that he will find better stuff, its still all luck

[bigdeath]

Ive always prefered hammerdin over sorc. They get it done almost as fast and they withstand a beating better. I havent used mmbot yet though im basin my analasis on d2jsp. I used to run a wind druid hammerdin and firesorc at the same time. They would each do a few bosses then meet up at baal and do a co-op run.

[ggkthx]

O.o that's like having a MF run and Baaling at the same time except all with your characters... man, that would be so nice to have around

[jasonf]

sorc is faster and way cheaper.. full tals and reapers on merc with 98 success rate in a shitty comp botting all night. altho im only doing eldrich pindle.

on the other hand, hammerdin allows you to go to trav... way better/more drops there. less success rate but trav is tough.

id say hammer for trav and sorc for e + p + e

[bigdeath]

Bad thing about sorc is that your limited to what you can do. Even with infinty they are not immune but got good resistance to your attacks. Thats what made me go hammerdin.

[Lk_Isr]

OK lets make this 100% clear:


-light sorc: Advantage: faster kill if not immunes
Disadvantage: can't kill immunes or very slow kill with infi
-Hammerdin: Advantage: Kill all major game bosus, nice speed
Disadvantages: non


Figure out for urself whats best

[Siris]

correction:
hammerdins
disadvantage: very expensive

rate fairly

[Lk_Isr]

now don't be stupid, light sorc is really faster only if she has infinity on her merc.. therefore she is more expensive. the most expensive item u need on hammerdin is enigma and u can get bad ones for as little as 6 ists where infinitys are still high price like 8-12 ists. Also a really cheap sorc build will be even slower so plz...

[Siris]

first off ists r worth next to nothing
2nd i didnt meantion which is better or worse i was listly the rest of the facts which u forgot to meantion- a gg hammerdin is the most expensive char
3rd dont pm me again because.. hell i have no idea y u pmed me.. i just stated a fact..never meantioning which i like....personally i dont like hammerdins idk y i just dont.

<HR style="COLOR: #181b16" SIZE=1>lol, if ur gonna make a cheap light sorc thats stupid cause she will be slow and the only reason to have her is speed, other chars can kill many more boses who arn't immunes like cold & fire sorc, pvm barb, mf necro, and more.

Please post only after some research in at least 3-5 diffrenet mf char guides.

again i just finished ur incomplete post

Hammerdin can be cheap. You can substitute hoto for wizspike. Shako is cheap if you dont use hoz use a pally spirit with good resist and bam your in business. The only thing you really need is nigma and once you get that and bot a while the other peices will come. A sorc really needs sojs shako occy coh infinity and all that crap, so in my opinion the hammerdin is actually cheaper to start with.
