Crusader Hammerdin Build With Blessed Hammer and Seeker of the Light Set

The Seeker of the Light set marks the return of the Hammerdin build, decidedly focusing on bringing Blessed Hammer to competitive DPS in Greater Rifts — aided and protected by Falling Sword. This mobile, sustained-damage playstyle is meant for Greater Rift solo progression, but we also have a speed farming variation, that you can access using the button below.

Season 27 comes with the theme of Angelic Crucibles — consumable items that empower Legendary items with perfected Ancient-level stats, as well as infuse them with one of three unique, powerful, class-specific abilities at random. For this build, we recommend aiming for the Blessed Hammer Sanctification, which adds the following power to your build:

• Blessed Hammer Sanctification: Blessed Hammer now crackles with energy damaging enemies within 12 yards of its path. All runes but Dominion now throw the hammer in a direct path in front of the Crusader.

Use Angelic Crucibles on an item that crosses over most (if not all) variants of a build, and is also an item that is relatively harder to perfect than other slots (since sanctifying an item maximizes its stats). In the case of this build, good candidates for Sanctification are your weapon ( Johanna's Argument) and shield ( Guard of Johanna), which are present across all variants of this build.

You can read more on Angelic Crucibles and the sanctification process in our dedicated Angelic Crucible Mechanics guide.
