10 Character Builds That BROKE RPGs

The Blessed Hammer Paladin build (that we're going to refer to as 'Hammerdin' from now on) was an immensely popular character build back in Diablo 2, mainly on the back of just how overpowered it was for players.

As well as being one of the most versatile go-tos for damage type, the Hammerdin possesses both a high damage output, and a reasonably solid area of effect. In all, the build comes with around 5k health and roughly 17k in damage from the hammer.

Depending on the gear, there's really no class in the game that can match just how easy every opponent and location feels when marauding through with the damage-increasing Concentration aura applied to the hammer, and Holy Shield helping to keep health up.

Essentially, Hammerdin builds offer a great way of maximising damage to a game-breaking level, without having to worry about risking a counter-punch. The added magic damage the hammer brings is something players are unlikely to be able to mount much resistance to in PvP, whilst the vast majority of monsters in PvE don't come with any magic immunities or resistance either.
