Arbiter Hammerdin Endgame Build Guide

Gear & Stats

Try to get a healthy balance between your Multiplicative Damage multipliers: Critical Hit Damage, Vulnerable Damage & Holy Damage. Once you have a solid 30-50% of each you can try to stack more into Critical Hit Damage.

The 2 most important Unique Items are Herald's Morningstar and Argent Veil you can check out our Boss Loot Table Guide to see where you can target farm these items. Temerity is incredibly for Toughness and Judgment of Auriel is a great Damage/Toughness item. Remember you can use the Kullean Tuning Prism to Transfigure a Legendary Aspect on your Amulet!

The primary goal is stacking your Critical Chance to as close to 100% as you can get it then dumping as much into Critical Hit Damage as possible. Fanaticism Aura and the Gar Rune are going to get you far. But you'll need to pick up Critical Hit Chance on multiple pieces of gear to get to the point where you're really the chosen one.

The secondary goal is to get your Attack Speed close to 100% also so that you can spam Blessed Hammer like a machine gun, and so your Wing Strikes are pumping rapidly. This is much easier to achieve with Fanaticism Aura and Fanaticism Aura Potency that you'll eventually prioritize on your Tempers once you have little need for Arbiter Duration.

Masterworking

Target Critical Hit Damage on all offensive pieces for a huge damage boost. On your armor you can Masterwork Life or All Resistance to get more Toughness. Fanaticism Aura Potency is good to grab as well if you aren't already at the 100% cap.

Runewords

I think these 2 combinations are the best ones I've found. Bac Gar & Cir Que. One providing a giant amount of Critical Chance and the other giving you a significant Toughness boost. You'll see a lot of builds run the Spirit Wolves rune Ceh but since this build applies so much Vulnerable on it's own it seems insignificant.

Seal

For your Seal prioritize one with +1 Charm slot over anything else. Once you have some options look for Cooldown Reduction, Critical Hit Chance/Damage or %Damage/Vulnerable Damage, depending on what you think your current setup needs the most.

For the 6th Slot optimally you'll put in Griswold's Opus, but this won't be easy to come by. Try to get any Unique Charm in there that will allow you to remove a Unique from your Equipment so you can pick up another Legendary Aspect in its place. I think Argent Veil is another great choice for this Charm slot since it lets you pick up another Offensive Aspect like Aspect of Utmost Glory while keeping it's incredible bonus.

Any beneficial Unique Charm that looks like it does anything for your build works too as a place holder. I played around with Fists of Fate for example, and it did very well with this build, you hit so often that there's plenty of chance for some massive hits from RNGesus.

Light's Epiphany

Make sure you read the 2 piece set bonus here and understand it. It's very important to the success of the build. If you aren't spamming hammers and constantly hitting enemies with them you're going to suffer. This goes back to the idea of the build snowballing. Always focus on hitting mobs with Blessed Hammer, use Falling Star constantly to also proc more Cooldown Reduction on your Arbiter of Justice as well as to keep up your 10 stacks of Aspect of Ascension.
