killing baal with hdin?

[BattleQueen]

Most of what needs to be said has been said. If you notice that Baal is taking no damage whatsoever it means your hammers are way off the mark. So just reposition our paly & start launching. Takes a bit of practice. A well-equipped (Gaze/Andy's-eth Fort-Obedience/Reaper's) Act 2 merc shdn't die at all. But Kelpie Snare really does make Baal looks utterly stupid, lol.

Agreeing with what's already been said...

Hammerdins are not the best Baal killers. Lightning zons and sorcs are the best by far with the right equipment; crushing blow is next. Plus, 75% CB with a 1-point smite can be obtained for almost nothing:
40% Black runeword (Thul + Io + Nef) (3 Socket Clubs/Hammers/Maces)
35% Guillaume's Face

Thanks guys, finally I can kill baal easily by positioning my hdin to the lower right (slightly) of baal or behind baal (slightly to the right too).

And I got the two shakos, tancred boot.....

It's weird though that with other bosses, I usually position my hdin to lower left (slightly) to kill them efficiently..... I thought hdin position is always on lower left of the monster to hammer effectively.....

Sweet dude good to see you killing baal gg now.My hdin does 16k no merc and only has problem killing when hammers are cast from wrong position ...quick change of position soon rectifies that.

i let my accounts expire now, but i used to solo uber trist with my hammerdin all the time. 8 player baal runs too.


he had a ber ber shael shael shael shael phase blade in his inventory for smiting. he also wore dracs all the time, just because i didn't want them taking up inventory space.
