Welcome to the PvM/MF Hammerdin guide for Diablo 2 Resurrected. If you're looking for any build that may clear through virtually every monster hanging around with ease, isn't disrupted by immunities, and also has great magic find capabilities, you are in the right place. This Hammerdin build is made to offer fantastic survivability, high resistance, defense, and good MF percentages. With some practice, you can efficiently clear all areas hanging around. The Hammerdin can nonetheless be considered one of the very best all-around PvM characters in Diablo 2 Resurrected and ideal for early Ladder.

Gear Choices:

The gear selections for a Hammerdin MF build are made to maximize survivability, resistances, and magic find while still maintaining sufficient damage output to efficiently clear areas. Here is a breakdown of every item and alternative:

Armor

Enigma: The optimum armor for any Hammerdin MF build is either a Mage Plate, Archon Plate, or Dusk Shroud Enigma. The +2 to any or all skills, teleport, and increased MF from Enigma turn it into a top choice, however, it can be expensive, especially in the early stages of a New Ladder season because of the rune requirements (Jah and Ber). Without Enigma, the mobility and therefore clear speed and efficiency from the Hammerdin are severely hindered. Players can buy D2R Ladder Items and d2 resurrected runes from a trustworthy shop like MMOWTS to gain access to powerful new abilities and strategies.

Vipermagi: This a cheaper alternative, offering +1 to any or all skills and resists, while Que-Hagens is yet another viable option with added magic damage reduction and faster hit recovery. Remember, without Enigma, you're severely limited.

Main Weapon:

The Heart from the Oak: This runeword flail is the very best choice for this build because of its massive boost to any or all skills and high resistance in addition to a very good (40) FCR boost.

The Wizardspike: Fantastic option provides high FCR (50) and huge boosts to any or all resistances causing this to be an excellent defensive option (ideal for hardcore mode). It lacks the harm boost in the additional skills of their alternatives.

Spirit: A spirit weapon is another fantastic option and cheap alternative when you farm.

Main Shield:

The Herald of Zakarum: This is the ideal shield due to the numerous offensive synergies and defensive stats, causing this to be optimal to attain your goal of efficient clearing with good survivability. Socketing it by having an Um rune will further increase resistances while socketing by having an Ist rune will further improve your magic find.

Spirit Shield: This is a viable alternative and could be built inside a Paladin-only shield base, meaning you won't need to get to the strength requirements of the Monarch to wield. Additional resistance mods can be found on the base shield. The significant FCR boost from Spirit is one thing not present in our first option. The huge increase in Faster Hit Recovery also pushes us into comfortable breakpoints.

Helm

Shako: This is the very best helmet selection for this build, offering +2 to any or all skills, mana, life, and magic find, along with the often overlooked damage reduction. Socketing it by having an Um rune will further increase resists, while an Ist rune will further improve your magic find.

Peasant Crown: A cheaper alternative with less defensive stats but good MF.
