The Paladin Hammerdin build is mainly about hitting your enemies with the Blessed Hammer. It's heavily enhanced with Vitality, Blessed Aim, and Concentration, so its 15,000 damage output to opponents every time the Blessed Hammer is used makes it one of the most popular builds in Diablo 2 Resurrected.
Unfortunately, it's one of the most expensive and hardest builds to create due to the unique D2 Resurrected Ladder Items and rune words. The Enigma Runeword allows the Paladin to teleport into a horde of enemies and then strike them with multiple Blessed Hammers. The Hammerdin build is also helpful for any Magic Find Run, it can help provide the correct equipment for other Diablo 2 Resurrected builds.
In a Magic Find Run, players can specify their builds in a way that items are equipped with the perk of "% Better Chance Of Getting Magic Items'" to help your chances of getting new equipment. You can equip Gheed's Amulet of Wealth, War Traveler Boots, and anything else that gives you a better chance of getting magic items. You can also insert Ist runes into Wizardspike and perfect Topaz into Shako as weapons.
It's much easier to transfer devices between characters in Diablo 2 Resurrected, so you no longer need a second person to run Magic Find. Spend enough points on Dexterity to get a 75% block chance. Your other stat points should go into Vitality, none of them should go into Energy.
