Crafted a pretty ridiculous piece of body armor for this build. Having fun with it.

Wow man, that chest is insane.

105

I was looking through the builder link and it seems like some of the skills are messed up on the bar. You have shield throw and i am assuming that hammer throw should be on the bar instead?

106

Boardmanā€™s known for messing up the build links a bit. Heā€™s got the right skills specialised.

Thanks I appreciate the response

Hey boardman, can you help me understand how gearing and the loot filter works? I havent switched an item out since like level 20 and im 65 at the moment. Getting tons of drops, but doesnt seem any of them are useful at all. What is the loot filter exactly doing, and how do you even go about gearing etc

109

So in short the lootfilter is made both for players at endgame and for leveling from level 1 at the same time, with you having to do as little as possible as you level, however you do have to do something. You need to uncheck rules as they no longer apply to you. In this case the green and blue items become obsolete by your current level of 65 and should be unchecked.

This is a video explaining exactly what i mean and goes for all the lootfilter i make as there all off the same template

@boardman21 Thank you for this guide, Iā€™m wondering if you could update the planner, there are some things wrong such as missing offhand and shield throw instead of hammer throw being used?

111

If you press s while in the planner. Shield throw shows up. Ill fix it if i remembwr whem i get off work

112

Has someone tested if it still works with the new patch? Any changes that affect this build?

113

Several changes will affect it, like the no smite back when its procd by the hammers from the affix on the helm. Will have to test later.

114

so, after disliking javelin i swapped back to hammerdin. current setup (mainly the old gear, but tried some new nodes and stuff)

want to switch to Forgotten knight Sword (offhand) + amulet for the basecrit. very courios about the void rift skill, especially if its scaleable via volatile reversal. there are some insane nodes like 40% inc dmg taken

I noticed under Sigils you have both ā€œMeditationā€ and ā€œSigils of Dispair.ā€ I was assuming Meditation was pointless with Despair, is that an oversight on your behalf or am I missing something? Thanks

116

you are 100% right. its useless with despair. just an oversight during respeccing. either iā€™d go one deeper in the dmg node or maybe that big one that heals and consumes a sigil. depending on your neess

117

Is this build still S tier with the new patch changes? Can anyone suggest updates to passive skill trees and the spells being used? D:

Hey Boardman, Iā€™ve been building a new hammerdin from scratch on ssf since 8.3 based on this build, if you ever want to post an updated version Iā€™ll be happy to provide. I got him super optimized, very very tanky and really good damage, doing 300+ corruption like nothing. Only 255 arena waves atm tho because Iā€™m bad and always get destroyed by the zealot birds^^
