What melee HELL char to use?

Hi guys, I have hammerdin, lvl76, 4k hammer dmg.
He kills OK in hell act1, but is extremely inconvient to aim hammers (read: i try to kill tehm with hammers, but can't hit fast. While I move around, monsters kill my merc and me).
So I want good old melee char, with huge physical dmg and huge defense, to be viable and prospering in hell :)

What build to use?
As I see it, there are only 2 bases - either pally or barb.
Steer me in the right direction please...

As for items, count me a bit richer than poor :lol:

Thanks!

You are rich but your hammerdin has problems @ hell? Get enough faster cast rate and a merc that can tank for a few seconds.. there must be something wrong with your build if you keep dying.. for one, the damage seems very low for a rich guys hammerdin :P

I have always been a fan of conc barbs. Had great success the first HCLadder with one. Extremly safe and solid build and of course the most important criteria of all, fun to play! The warcries just functions so much better for a barb that doesnt make use of ww imho. Of course you will not perhaps kill groups of monsters at once but you will be hard as rock with your mega defence and crowd control.
 
I am not rich, you misunderstood me.
Of course, FCR gear is no problem, but I'll leave that hammerdin alone for some time, and go for conc barb! As for groups, I had fun killing whole screens of packs of monsters with hammers and sorcs.
Thanks for suggestions :cool:

he said "a little richer than poor", not "rich". that is a gigantic difference.

as a "little richer than poor" equipment, i would suggest the following:

for the pala: spirit-sword, spirit-pala-shield with 30+ resist all, smoke armor, faster cast rings, +skill amu
for the merc: smoke-armor, insight polearm, tal's mask (or something similar with leech)
 
Let's leave that pala alone for some time :)

I can't decide, shield, or not in the conc barb?
Personally I'd go for shield, but some gigantic 2h weapons are tempting...
 
What does this question have to do with statistics? You might get more suggestions in the Community forum or specific Barb and Pally forums.
