First torch run what gear for my Hammerdin LVL94 or should I just respec to a Smiter?

I play Offline on a Switch, and have a lot of gear. My Holy Grail
Unique armor 87 %
Unique weapons 85 %
Unique other 64 %
Sets 90 %
Runes 79 %

So I should be able to most things I need with the gear I have, and willing to make some rune words as well, I plan to make them all for my grail anyway.

The runes I lack are:

Vex,

Ohm,

Lo,

Ber,

Jah,

Cham,

Zod
The runes I have, I have already 2 at least of everything

I already have a HotH, Enigma and CTA (Lots of Spirit too)

Gear I have been looking at and already have

Dracul's Grasp
Gore Riders
Charms big resists

Stormshield
Hearty Cord

String of Ears
Anidote potions for

Lilith
Cure

Helm

My merc is an ACT2

Prayer, whom is equipped with Insight, Duress, Bulwark, willing to change him

And I have plenty of Tokens to respec, so I could just respec to a Smiter

So what say you:

Hammerdin:
What other gear would you recommend to above? Willing to make some runewords and grind LK runs if that is the way to go

If you say Smiter, I can look up guides or how to build one and its gear, but feel free to give a link to a guide as well you would recommend

I don't think any build in the game is as effective at killing Ubers as a

Smite Paladin, but it's possible for you to do both if you're bent on giving it a try. With some gear adjustments and a few skill points in

Smite and

Fanaticism it's possible, but it won't be quiet as efficient. Here's a link to a thread detailing some experiences I had and some advise from some very experienced members. Make certain that your lightning resistances are high, mine are at about 300%.

You can turn a Hammerdin into a Hybrid Smiter. All you need is a single point into both

Smite and

Fanaticism. This build works great for solo

Baal runs since you can

Smite the 2-wave guys (they are immune to hammers)

Make Treachery and pre-buff with it. You don't have a

Lo so make Black for some massive Crushing Blow. Do you have

Herald Of Zakarum? That would be great for your primary

Smite shield. If you have it, up it to Elite. Def doesn't matter, you want the higher shield

Smite damage.
Use

Highlord's Wrath and T-gods (for uber meph) if you have it.

Your merc WILL die in

Uber Tristram so you need to manage alone.

Lure Meph away from the north. From Uber portal run around the building immediately to your left via a north west direction. Slowly make your way south until meph starts to follow and them run back north. Kill him and his adds. Go back south until you can peel

Baal or diablo away. Repeat.

Lastly DONT make a lobby game. Make a password protected game so if you die you can leave and come back for your body without wasting your keys.
