Some advices for Hammerdin / 86 lvl / Offline

Hello everyone

I would have liked to ask for a little help with my Paladin Hammerdin.
He is level 86, I finished the hell level but I am stagnating with the objects and despite the daily farming I have the impression of not moving forward

Would you be kind enough to see my items and advise me on things to farm or do as a priority?

Thanks in advance

Items: 2 x Spirit
Helmet: Lore
Armor: Stealth
Resists: 75 cold and poison / 47 Lightning / 8 fire ( Hell)
MF: 21% ( hell)

In NM I can reach 75 resist + 108% MF

Is better to farm NM / player 8 or Hell /player1?

In my opinion, you are in early farming stage. NM would be much better choice imo.

Make sure you spirits + Stealth reach 86% FCR breakpoints.

If willing to suffer FCR lost, I would recommand to get a four-socket armor and put 4

Perfect Topaz in it, then replace Stealth. Early game MF is too important imo.

I think Stealth would be the first thing I want to get rid of. But make sure FCR is in the comfortable zone. Then I would start to think about replace Lore.

Also since this paladin is not good at mobility in this stage, I would go for NM Players8 Act 5

Nihlathak's Temple or

Frigid Highlands and such.

Paladin casting breakpoints:
9 18 30 48 75 125
75 fcr is good enough, 125 is nice

Skin of the Vipermagi is a good armour

open areas good for your hammers-eg.

Chaos Sanctuary,

River of Flame

I run a hardcore cookie-cutter 125% FCR hybrid Hammerdin / Smiter as my main, and am a big fan of 125% FCR over 75%, since it synergizes so well with Enigma (teleporting).

My advice would be to work towards that (

Shako, HOTO, Enigma, Arach etc.), but you need to find items of some value to trade with, which is easier in the later acts in Hell.

Procing

Fade from a Treachery armor should get you through the bottlenecks in Hell diff even without changing your current setup (proc the spell, and switch armor back, if you like). Treachery isn't very expensive.

As krathkor mentioned,

Skin of the Vipermagi is an excellent, inexpensive caster armor.

You could more than double your MF % with a low-roll

Gheed's Fortune, which is also cheap.

War Traveler would also raise your MF % significantly.
