Good to have -20% or -30% requirements, too.
Helm: A rare Grim Helm with high resistance, +Life and enchanted defense. Armor: A rare Mage Plate with high resistance, +Life and enchanted defense. It's hard to find perfect equipment in non-expansion but the preferred (or perfect) equipment for a Hammerdin in non-expansion looks like this. Shield: Spirit Rune Word with 35% faster cast rate, made in elite paladin shield with all resistance attribute. Weapon: Wizardspike or Heart of the Oak Rune Word (this requires a Faster Cast Rate ring). Shield: Herald of Zakarum, preferably upgraded and inserted with Um, Ber, or Shael (this is only if you invest absolutely no points into Holy Shield, as Shael only gives Faster Block Rate, not chance, and Holy Shield already reduces block rate to 2 frames) Runes, or Zod Rune if ethereal. Weapon: Heart of the Oak Rune Word in a Flail. Charms: Hellfire Torch, Annihilus and combat skillers. Boots: Ethereal Sandstorm Trek Scarabshell Boots, War Traveler boots, or Waterwalk for +5% Max Fire Resist and more Life. Gloves: Magefist or Chance Guards gloves. Amulet: Mara's Kaleidoscope Amulet or Faster Cast Rate +Paladin Skills +All Resistance Amulet. Rare rings with Faster Cast Rate or Raven Frost can also be used here. Rings: 2x Stone of Jordan or Bul-Kathos' Wedding Band rings or a mix of the two. Helm: Harlequin Crest Shako, preferably inserted with Um or Ber Runes, or a Perfect Topaz. Armor: Enigma Rune Word, in an Archon Plate, Dusk Shroud or Mage Plate (preferable for low strength requirement). Though this has fallen out of favor in Patch 1.13c with the ability to reset stat points. 
A shield with higher blocking rate will require less dexterity to reach the maximum block rate of 75% while a shield with low blocking will require significantly more dexterity to reach the cap.Īn alternative version is to keep the base 25 strength and equip an Enigma breast plate, and either a Torch (or Annihilus) and placing more stat points into vitality instead. See below.įor example, a Royal Shield with 55% blocking and level 20 Holy Shield will raise the shield blocking to 80%, however, blocking is capped at 75% (25% while running). You will still need dexterity to reach a 75% chance to block, as Holy Shield increases the shield blocking rate, and does not scale directly with your character's chance to block.
Enough Dexterity to reach max (75%) block.*. With high end gear a hammerdin ends up having +20 combat skills an alternate version is to put only 1 pt into Holy Shield and instead put the skill points into either Fire Resist or Lightning Resist to up the max resist cap from 75. A 'basic' Hammerdin setup looks like this:
