Schaefer's hammer

Hey all

Im working on a smiter Pala, and I just found

Schaefer's Hammer from

Baal..

Back than, that weapon was the best there is for a zealer Pala, but is it usefull now?
Can I use it on Ubers?

The bonus for lightning resis and

Static Field on hit would be lovely, when you think about it.

The hammer is decent by itself - and for ubers, i'd suggest you need also some crush+prevent healing on other gear. Then - yes, you can go for it.

I don't think

Static Field will proc if your smiting. I also have one but I don't use it mainly due to the strength req... Im using

Heaven's Light for ubers and

Lightsabre for trash.

Prevent monster heal is a must?

If so, got a Grief ready, and would just use that

Against ubers - yes, indeed. They got regen - and fast one. So approved way here isn't dealin direct dps - but inflictin stable crush + cancellin regen (open wounds also works fine) +

Life Tap curse (this is why dracul gloves or Exile shield helps great).

As i know you cant Prevent the Hearing, cause of that you need the Chance for open wounds.
So you always got a dot ticking works similar.

No Exile to run with, but an upped zaka with

Um, works well as I managed to do my first Uber run, and was pretty izi

Basically as guides show:

Grief,
Upped zaka shield,
Duress armor,
Guill head,
Dracul gloves,
Thundergods

Belt,

Gore Rider

Boots,

Raven Frost ring,
Wisp protector ring,
Maras amulet,

Call To Arms and Spirit on switch.

Just a few lightning resis charms,
Torch

One very dead Merc.

I thought I'll need to go on lightning resis aura vs

Mephisto but I stayed on fanta aura and went smooth

Absolutely you can use it!

Schaefer's Hammer on swap with Exile is my BIS for a Smiter and secret ingredient. The

Static Field procs within seconds and allows you to swap back to Grief or alt weapon swiftly. There is no real way to reduce the enemy life faster than this with other means and softens them up so well.

The beauty of the Exile combination is obvious but are Freezes Target +

Defiance for extra protection while you proc, and the Offensive Aura to boost your

Fanaticism/Attack Speed with a slower weapon base (

Legendary Mallet), and

Life Tap allows you to reset the counter or proc it for the first time before you swap to main weapon.

My 100% advice is to add a

Shael Rune in here immediately and don't try to get cute and put a

Ber or IAS ED. IT NEEDS THE

Shael to come alive.

Yeah this was for anybody else coming across the post, but continued in conversational style just cause.

I love using it and think these kinds of things are

Key to bring up if high Treasure Class items are worth using or good use can be found for them in a particular build.

Unless something's changed "prevent monster heal" doesn't work on Ubers, but open wounds works just fine.
