Hi, I recently went to uber tristram with my friends pally. With dracs all three lesser ubers ( Duriel, Izual and Lilith) pose little threat for even poorly equiped jabber. The same applies also to uber tristram, beside mephs conviction... My problem was killing speed. What would you suggest for a gear? An important speed breakpoint is 63% IAS(with titans). That's what I wear now:

weapon - crappy nonupped titans (I'm not sure I want to waste runes on upgrade with those, but since good ones are so expansive, probably I'm gonna have to)
gloves - draculs (no brainer... need those to survive)
Armor - treachery(45% IAS make it easy to hit any breakpoint, and fade is just awesome)
shield - rhyme(20% increased chance to block + 25% res all.. it's good, but not eneough...plan on making sanctuary...)
helm - Tal mask socketed +15% IAS( very flexible, great helm)
rings - two ravenfrosts
ammy - Cats eye/ Highlords, depending on a situation
belt - rare with res... really need those
boots - gores (crushing blow and open wounds - yummy)

Any suggestions??
was thinking about switching treachery to duress for greater crushing blow and open wounds, but then I'm gonna have speed/res issues...
thx for reply

not enough crushing blow

use guillaume or duress

upgrade titans

tons of res charms

Eth titans up'd for more leach, guile's face with a ias/res jwl, mara's for more jab and res, duress armor, stormshield with um or ias/res jwl. For gloves yea drac's are your best option, belt I'd say tgod's for the extra absorb. Boots I'd suggest Gores. That is the morst cb/ow that I can think of, from there obviously you want res charms. Your goal is to overstack your res by 100 to counter meph. If you can do this and take them one at a time. I believe this may be possible. I've never gotten all the res charms or a good armor for duress to attempt though. If you try tell us how it works and what setup you used.

P.S. Treachery would be good for prebuff only and would making overstacking your resistences by 100 much easier.

Edit: Oh and rings, I think two ravens is overkill use one and get one wisp or a good stat/res/leach ring. I think the wisp would be better and coupled with tgod's could really make this much easier.

Thanks for advice guys. Just made myself nice trolls nest sanctuary -62% res and upped my crappy titans, so no I have upped crappy titans...LOL...
Gonna work on crushing blow and resists now...
Almost forgot... I have a lil problem hitting'em, but I guess some leveling will do - I'm lvl 87 now with 70ish percent chance to hit. WIth their high block rate it's a bit low...

They're all lvl 110, I'd suggest to be at the very least in the low 90's before attempting this otherwise like you said you'll just be whiffing.

A quick way to boost your AR is to enchant yourself with demon's limb. It provides a HUGE AR bonus. (and a little fire dmg on the side is never bad):)
