new hammerdin falls on face in hell!!

Yes filling your inventory with them sadly has become the norm. (You get spared this if you play a pre-expansion character who also receive less resistance penalty)
It's usual to fill your inventory with them and just leave enough space to pick up one 2x4 item.
Some people don't even do that and completely fill the inventory with them and drop items they pick up into the cube.

Endgame hammerdin can run without any resistances from charms.
Heart of the Oak => 40 All Resistances
Paladin shield base => 45 All Resistances
Spirit shield => 35 Resist except for Fire.
That is already 120 Resist. You can stack for from

Helm, amulet, 2 rings and

Belt.

From NM to Hell, I usually replace Stealth by Smoke, that should be enough.

Nokozan Relic or

The Rising Sun to offset the lack of fire resist of Spirit.

Griswold's Valor,

Thundergod's Vigor so you will have cold and lightning absorb.
That should be OK despite you have low resist.

Another cheap piece for frw/fire/life is Aldur's

Boots.

Hell cows is good for farming bases, like 3os armor for Treachery, 4os elite polearm for Insight, & White or 4os pally shields with 30-45 all res

For early hamma, good old

Wizardspike helps greatly. Even lackin +skills - enough damage to sweep mobs at low ppl. Eezy wizzy

Just re-read this thread. As I'm remembering before Enigma and HoTo,

Redemption aura is your friend in early hell, it will keep you alive in P1 games.

Add me, I had a Hammerdin early on in the ladder, I rerolled him into a smiterdin. Now that I joined the horde of Mosaic Assassin's I dont even need a smiter. I will give you some of his gear, should make Hell difficulty easier.
