I agree with you Wapptor. I was attempting to see if I could get the damage to what I felt was a reasonable level, but I was comparing it to my sorceresses whom did incredable damage with CB, Nova, and Meteor. BH does not come near that amount of damage, but I'll tell you, I ran into this guy recently who has 6 level 99's, all paladins, and he plays for the love of the game! His latest creation is a hammerdin and instead of uber gear, he opted for a shaft, hearld of zak shield, a good damage weapons which I cant remember what it was, and basically regular normal-exceptional gear and ya know what? He was doing a great job at it and the best part was, he was having fun... Sure his hammers could't wipe the screen clear of cows like nova or meteor can, but he enjoyed every minute of it, and the funny thing was I enjoyed watching him. I kinda got a strange feeling like when you grow up to fast and start working and realize your child hood is over... well I got the feeling like I missed out on something special and blew it by trying to become "uber" instead of just having fun. Oh well; lifes full of those funny lessions ;)
