On a side note, how the eff do I do spoiler tags?
 
Im enjoying cows! Got me a pul rune on the first run so thats motivated me enough!

Come on ND! You gotta finish this triathlon! Motivate me!
 
I am in baby!!! OGOGOGOGO!!

Even though you may trounce me as I believe you have in the 2 previous categories, im gunna give this a good go, watch out!

Im running with my full tal blizz sorc too, she's done the other 2 categories so thought id give her a go, plus to switch things up im gunna use my CowZon every now and then for some decimation of cows.
 
Rare belts are never worth picking up, except in untwinked.
Unique belts completely outclass anything else, that's just the fact.
The only actually useful non-unique belt is a crafted fcr belt upto level 80 ( arachnid lvl requirement ).
 
That's what I was thinking, but triple res with fhr and life seemed pretty beast for lvl 15. I'll toss it in the bank and see if I use it.
 
I agree with zaph there, gotta hit atleast 24fhr too to even be worth considering.

My LF zon seems to be having trouble with cows on any p/setting over 3...

Her gear is titans/spirit and same on switch for when sticks run low
Maras
Shako
Vipermagi
3 jav gloves
razortail
silkweaves
2 rare rings with mf/str/ar/leech etc.

Any ideas what is going wrong?

She is level 82, all LF, no d/a/e just penetrate, crit strike and pierce with a point in each.

No merc
 
I agree with Kitteh. I have a collection of low level belts with FHR, FCR or +ST/DX for twinking starter characters.

I haven't played a hammerdin for years. Back when I last played I had trouble determining the flight path of the hammers and things haven't changed.
 
Im sure the flight path of hammers comes out at 9oclock does a full close rotation then goes outwards? I could be wrong?

Could anyone answer my above question about my javazon? Its bugging me lol
 
I would think a HF merc would be a good start. Infinity would be great, but if you are like me you don't have one, Insight if you need mana or a Reaper's in you want to slow the cows down further.

As for the hammer, it is not so much the first rotation, it is the fact that a huge number of baddies seem to be able to stand in the gap between the path of the hammers.

Do you have points in any of LFs synergies? My javzon (on bnet) went through like 5 different LF builds until I settled on one with maxed charged strike. Also, I would HIGHLY recommend Treachery > Vipermagi. You don't need fcr unless you're using valk/decoy, which I'm assuming you're not, so the IAS is simply amazing. Also once Fade activates you should have max resists, so really, you're looking at either +1 skills, or 45 IAS. I think for damage output, the ias is superior, but maybe someone can prove me wrong. I also use stormshield, but my setup was having 7 friends go do baal/cs, and I would solo p8 cows, so getting hit once or twice meant death, and SS + fade made me basically invincible.

Also, I would recommend Tgods > razor. The pierce is nice on Razortail, but with 3jav gloves and titans/shako, you should have plenty in pierce without using Razortail.

If you have any more questions, PM me. I have a 90 javazon on bnet that can solo ubers ^.^
 
Having 100% Pierce is the most important thing for Cow runs. Don't switch out Razortail. Put more points in Pierce as necessary.

Treachery seems like it would be better than Vipermagi for you.
 
To each their own I suppose. My javzon murders cows and I think she's at 84%? OP is having issues with damage though, and I'm not sure 100% pierce would fix that. It would help for sure, but my thought is that raw damage and IAS will help a lot more. I could be completely wrong though!
 
with the amount of +skills you have, pure damage can´t be the problem. don´t use treachery though, get a 60 ias armor. thats the breakpoint
most probably its either tactic or expectations that need adjustment. do you herd the cows? a single LF will have the maximum damage if there are a few cows in the path of the throw, so it hits up to 5 times and releases the bolts 5 times. your damage output will scale with the amount of cows on the screen. herd a few smaller groups into a single large one by running in circles or the like around them. if the group is large enough maybe 5 LFs will clear the entire screen on /p8

p.s. i´d put a point into decoy for special occasions

p.p.s. i´m a huge fan of rare/craft belts: fhr (ow) str life double/tri res (gf) - the right one is hard to come by though
