Hammerdin Travincal help.

Hey guys I just made my first hammerdin an lvled him to lvl 77 with all the typical gear (enigma, shako etc...). He can run any boss in the game but for some reason he always gets his *** handed to him at hell travincal. I usually tele up into the high room with durance lvl 1 in it and spam a hammer field. I can kill a few of them but my health goes down rapidly and one of them explodes and kills me. I have 60 all resists , 1.3 k health, max block w/ holy shield, and around 7k hammer damage (ba isnt maxed yet.) Id appreciate any tips or advice to running hell travincal with a hammerdin.

Wear hotspurs and you'll have 90 fire res, that'll help a whole lot.

A simple change in tactics is all you need. Instead of coming up via Dur lvl1, just use Trav Wp. Clear all monsters around the temple that might hinder you first.

Then just tease the council to come out to the bottom of the first flight of stairs. This gives more space for you to move and the hammers to expand fully. They will eventually come out, and not all at the same time which is good If you seem to be getting low on health, just back up a bit, drink potion and keep hammering. More often than not, they walk straight in to stray hammers.

Good luck

Since hammers kill stuff so quickly, you run the risk of several of the Councils blowing up on you all at once. Stand outside their little temple and lure 2 or 3 out at a time. Remember there is usually a well just outside the Councils' temple. Use it often.

Another suggestion-get a CTA for major life increases and stick an UM/resist jewel in something to get that fire resist up.
