MF Din

[Mozzy]

there are probably already builds similar to this one, i just felt like postin mine.

Str - 10/20 whatever you need..very little
Dex - 10/20 unless you want superb block which isn't that helpfull anyway
Vit - 430+ should be over 500 with gear
Energy - 0 of course

Gear

Helm - Um/Shako you'll need the extra resist don't worry about mf here
Armor - Enigma of course
Weapon - Hoto/Gull(or isted 6sock)
Shield - Exile/Isted shield
Gloves - Chancies
Jewelry - Maras/Raven/Dwarf
Boots - War Travs
Belt - Tgods

Merc (Thorn Merc) Note: might merc isn't much help, def merc is pointless if you use exile. you could get a def merc and use different shield i suppose but this setup works just fine.

Helm - Gris with ptop or Ist
Body - Gris with ptop or Ist or Enigma if you have extra
Weapon - Tomb Reaver with 2 ber. if 3 socket then 2 ber and Jah (ITD). 68 mf, 30+resists, 40% CB, and reanimate corpses (nice bonus) can't get much better.

Charms

Gheed's-Pcombat skills(1)-Torch-Anni-4 resist all small charms-2 large HR with small resist bonus. this leaves enough room for both scroll books and still room for 2 large items.

resists - 57/66/64/66 with switch 23/32/30/32
remember you're absoring lots of fire/light/cold too


This setup gives 467 mf with hoto and exile, 667 with the switch. Resists don't need to be maxed because of rings and belt. The only troulbe you will have is with the bone spear snakes and the lightnign ghost things in worldstone keep. Your merc will die in trav with this setup so if you mf there alot switch to guardian angel with vex socket he will never die. Hammer dam is 9.8/7.8 with gear switch, more than enough. The bers in your reapers toll will help kill baal with no problems.

you can exchange 1 or 2 items such as war travs or chancies for item of your choice and still have great mf. putting on a resist ring and an soj or BK would work but the extra skill hardly does anything at this point. excellent setup IMO

You say Max Bloxk doesnt help much but it really does. Try doing baal or D w/o it and you'll die much faster.

Buts a pretty good guide for newer people. But about any hamer build you can throw on mf gear. Use this if u want The 400+ Mf.

[Mozzy]

well i'm not gonna claim to be an expert on block rates or anything but if you're fighting one monster then 50% is more than enough cause that monster will be dead soon and baal never hurts me anyway, just drains mana. if you're fighting 5/10/15 monsters at once then 75% block won't block everything anyway. 25% less hits when you're surrounded by let's say 12 monsters is 4 less hits. and that's only if you managed to successfully block the other 8. but if you just want a high block rate put some dex charms in there, there's plenty of room.

Not a very usful guide imo, if your a mfer you need as much mf as possible and my mf hammerdin uses all mf gear with max block and hes never died yet, never came close to dieing as of yet.

Merc (Thorn Merc) Note: might merc isn't much help, def merc is pointless if you use exile. you could get a def merc and use different shield i suppose but this setup works just fine.

not a bad guide, only thing i would suggest is getting an NM act 2 merc, combat, offense, defense dont matter just as long as its nm act 2 cause the holy freeze aura they come with will come in handy alot
