Building a MF Hammerdin HElp need!

[AlphaOmega]

Hi There for the 1st time I have build a MF hammerdin and this is what I had maxed on skills:

Lvl 95 with Torch/Anni

Blessed Hammer
Blessed Aim
Concentration
The rest into Holy Shield

Now My Biggest Problem is that my Defence Part Getting chance hit by Diablo ( Big bosses ) is still around 40+. ( I have maxed 75% chance to blocked )I have Cta 3/3/2 along with Pally spirit!

Is there anyway I can get that Getting hit chance part to lower to atleast 20+?
Does it make difference If i get a 6/6/x BO?
or is it from lack of other items/skills?

My Gears by the way are Shako/hoto/nigma/hoz/+2ammy/raven/arach/trangs/3/3/2Cta/SpiritPally/30/10/dualres-mfboots.

Thanks for your time!

The chance of getting hit is based on both block percentage and actual defense.And it only counts towards the physical attacks that monsters use, and Not spells like Diablos lightning attack or his inferno circle.So If the chance to block of your toon is 75% with Holy Shield(And it should be) the only way to reduce the monsters chance to hit you would be to increase your defense.There are a few ways to do this.
1: Use Act 2 Mercenary with Defiance Aura
2:Find Higher Defense Versions of the items you are using (ie: upped Hoz, upped Boots, Eth Sandstorm Treks,Higher defense Enigma, ect. you get the point)
3efense charms
4:Or you could be silly and Use an eth Exile Vortex,But I wouldn't recommend it.

All that being said,My MF Hammerdins Defense is like 12k fully buffed and he has no problems,but he also has 4.2k life and 80% all resists except for poison.
Imho,life and resists count more than defense,others may disagree,but spells always hit,while physical is at least mitigated by shield block.
Hope that all helps.

Thank you for your time to look into this and replied with such specific answers,
Now I do understand between the chance of getting hit from elemental and to physical damage, I have noticed that physical damage done by the monsters to me is a little lower than an Elemental damage, I will try to get the items with what you have mentioned and will boost that Defence needed. Also you mentioned you have 4.2k and 80%all res, That is a Pro built I say =) Though this is my 1st Mf hammerdin my Life is only 3.3 and 75% all res. So I will definitely see how I can have such setup, Anyway 1st things 1st the Gears.

Ok Thanks again for your time and Cya back here!

Np at all,glad to be able to help.
And for your first hammerdin 3.3k and 75 is not bad at all :-).

LMAO, for the longest time I looked at this and wondered how 3.3k was good, until I saw you were talking about health.

Either way, if you need any more help with the hammerdin, of course Jammer is here, but you can also ask me.

ROFL, that would be seriously not good if the damage was 3.3k.Just for the record, my mf hammerdins damage is 12-13k.I know the damage can go higher but he gets the job done and has enuff mf to find stuff.

And one more thing I forgot to mention,AlphaOmega, is that at lvl 95 you should have these maxed skills
Blessed Hammer
Blessed Aim
Vigor
Concentration
And Enough points in HolyShield to hit 75% block while its active,which,when using a HoZ shield should only be about 1 hard point, and about 130 total dexterity(with all gear equipped).The rest can go into a resistance aura of your choice or into defiance as a synergy to holyshield.
