Playing solo as Hammerdin

Greetings,

I am brand new player, right now playing with level 73 frozen orb/fire ball soso designed for MF. I am stuck on hell A1, since majority of mobs have cold/fire immunity. Few years ago I was playing hammerdin on CBN, I would like to play one here. I prefer to play completely solo. Is it possible for hammerdin to do solo runs (f.e. Baal) or it's impossible due to mobs having magic immunity (f.e. second Baal wave, like on CBN)? I am asking, because this realm is different than CBN, a lot of things are different. If it's not possible, could you recommend a cheap solo MF build? Regards, Mind.

 

Hello Mind!

Welcome to the server! a hybrid sorc is a good pick for MF, as you said the immunes can really ruin a day. Yet when it comes to the Hammerdin its only good for fast MF if you have an Enigma, and if you can afford one of them id suggest getting a Infinity instead for your merc for your sorc and swap to Light because you will have no issues with MF on any difficulty as long as you have that Infinity on a sorc. But for a hybrid cheap setup for MF (Occy, Maras, Shako, Skullders, Mages/Chancies, Treks, Arach, Spirit/Lidless) but a Hammerdin is a good pick if you dont mind running around until you get an Enigma and he can solo by himself as long as you have a geared merc for that second wave on Baal!

Best of luck

 

Hammerdin can clear baal easy 2nd wave just switch to holy bolt for the 2nd wave mobs .Have hammers out spinnin before 2nd wave drops have redemption on to get rid of the skeles for good then switch to cleanse and just holy bolt the mobs down.Between you and I assume you would use an act 2 merc or even an act 1 merc with an ice bow its pretty easy.

As far as startin out on here what i did was just load up 2 toons into one game.Before i had enigmas I used a sorc to tele around and used a smiter for clearin stuff.Better loot table in games with multiple players anyways.Found my 1st templar's might 4 th day on here at nith doin that.
