Just started gearing him today and I really don't have any element specific gear just yet but I was wondering which element is better for a starter? I hear the Lightning Hammerdin is great and same with the Fire Sweep build. Just looking for some help. Here's my gear so far;
Frankly, anyone who comments here with an honest answer is going to tell you that which you already know: It's going to be dependent on the gear you get.
I have tried for a long time to develop a Holy build, but I have had unfortunate rolls thus far. So, as I've accumulated gear, I've used Lightning, because that's what's come my wayeven with rerolls.
Regarding your gear and build, you're doing fine, especially for being fresh. You've clearly done some research to learn what you need to do in both areas, so just keep at it. The Kapsu build is fine, and works well for starters who have not learned how to manage Wrath yet. The build is only more effective with both gear and proficiency. Another to try is the Vycaus build. That also works amazing when you're fresh. Give both a try and see what you think.
Final note: I saw that you hadsomefire damage on your items, and I'm a huge proponent for using whatever you can, wherever you can when it's on your gear. I'd take advantage of that fire, and start speccing towards it. Shift as new gear becomes available.
^ that's the one I would recommend. I think that if you don't like holy fire is very good to ramp up your gear and get a good start. If you like hammers go lightning. At the moment fire isn't viable t6 but that's mostly because a few abilities are bugged, and I'm sure they'll be fixed in the future. When they are fire has the most potential as it can get the highest percentage modifier for elemental to my knowledge. I love holy because it's fun, scales well now, and is t6 viable (the link posted above or manner cookies builds are both good).

Otherwise it's still on the front page, not getting as much love as it should.
