Summon + Uber Questions

[CxHamma]

I've read some guides already but i'm still not sure.

1. I've maxed SM RS Skelly mage, what next? corpse explosion?

2. I use um'd shako, enigma, p diamond lidless wall, sojs, spider belt, beast/arm of king leoric, trangs gloves, natalyas boots, maras, torch, and anni but I still dont have max resist in hell, I have 0 resists in hell. What should i change? Should I get resists charms?

3. I saw a necro uber tristram video, he opened the portal and went to bottom right corner and lured mephisto but mephisto didnt raise any skeletons, how is this possible?

4. If I used a exile for my iron golem and the iron golem died, will my exile be destroyed? How likely is the chance that a iron golem will die in uber tristram

(Sorry if next question is off category)

5. I also have a hammerdin which my brother may use to help on uber tristram. What should his aura be? Should he help at all? Should he use hammers?

6. I use beast+arm of king leoric, and i use a might merc.
What should my skeleton levels be to solo uber tristram

Thank you

1) Corpse Explosion needs to be maxed... It helps so much in general PvP... Also, you'll want to put one point into terror, and decrep, and perhaps life tap...

2) Put that lidless on switch... Use it with your CtA if you have one... You'll want a p diamond/um'ed Homonculus (spelling?)... I'd switch Nat's boots for Marrows... Also, consider a HotO for the extra resits, or a Silence...

3) Meph did rase some, but I think they were closer to the center of town... Unless you saw a video done in a single player mod...

4) Yes... The item is destroyed when the golem is made... You'll get the auras and all that stuff, but if it dies, it's gone for good... That's why you don't make a really pricey golem, unless it's not on your dime... If I was you, I wouldn't even worry about an iron golem at all... Clay golem + decrep = ubers can hardly move...

5) It will be a little tougher with him there, but the normal hammerdin auras should work fine... He could however, switch his gear a little, and use fanta and smite to tank for you...

6) If you get Marrows, and rase the skellies with AoKL (or HotO), then use beast, all should be good... It will be even better with a CtA on switch though... Don't forget to have Udars and Udar like revives... Those guys, and your merc will be the biggest sources of crushing blow which will be needed...

I have done this before, and heres a tip. Get the revive skill, 1 point should do. Revive those Big fat guys from river of flame/Durence lvl 3. Sorry I cant remeber name but they swing big clubs and have a stuning effect. They also have CB, which will kill the ubers really really fast. Summone all skellys with max + skills as possible. Then use Beast or something that will help there damage. Also summone Clay golem with the maxed + skills. After that get a Holy Freeze merc so you get uber slowness. Decrep and make sure gumby can get to the uber that your fighting. If they are Frozen+Decreped+Gumbyfied they will move slower then a snail. Also it seems that they dont use there spells as much. Like Meph uses that light ball of doom trick that normaly 1hit kill people. If you do all this you can beat them easly. But after you kill 1 uber go back revie any dead skellys and get more of the CB monsters. I think the name is umbers...dont know if thats right or not.Hope this helps.

I disagree with the HF merc... Use a might merc to help with the damage... Decrep + Clay Golem should be enough, but HF helps... There is a rune word that gives HF aura (can't recall the name), so that could be used if you really need it... Also, the Udars that I mentioned are the big club swinging fellows...

I'm a summon necro and I hate holy freeze aura, it turns everything into ice which means less summoning for you and a crappier corpse explode. your cold mages will slow em down with out turning everything into ice. I like useing humonculus too for the high chance to block. What i've been doing though to get res up is paying hrs for 5res all small charms. costly but worth it.

[CxHamma]

Yea I use a Might merc, btw the runeword is called Doom.
HF also shatters corpses =\

Im in USWest Non-ladder, so Pride/infinity would be pretty pricey.
What weapon should I give my merc and why?

[RequiemDeath]

Yeah, I forgot about that whole melty corpse thing... Always bad for a summoner... Like I said though, if one thinks that they really absolutly have to have that HF aura, then having a Doom merc weapon in the stash should be okay... Just don't use it while you're getting bodies for skellies and revives... Just seems like more trouble than it's worth to me though... Gumby and Decrep do just fine...

1. I've maxed SM RS Skelly mage, what next? corpse explosion?


The following are options
Corpse Explosion
1 pt Armor + Synergies
Add to curses if you want a larger radius and duration
Golem Mastery if you want to use an Aura Golem Eventually


2. I use um'd shako, enigma, p diamond lidless wall, sojs, spider belt, beast/arm of king leoric, trangs gloves, natalyas boots, maras, torch, and anni but I still dont have max resist in hell, I have 0 resists in hell. What should i change? Should I get resists charms?


Id first recommend removing the Lidless wall for a spirit shield , you should have enough strength with the gear you have or at least close to what you need.


4. If I used a exile for my iron golem and the iron golem died, will my exile be destroyed? How likely is the chance that a iron golem will die in uber tristram


You lose whatever item you used to make the golem if the golem or you die. if youre unlucky he has a chance to disappear too.


5. I also have a hammerdin which my brother may use to help on uber tristram. What should his aura be? Should he help at all? Should he use hammers?


Since you have a beast already I think Concentration would be best. But I have heard that Mephisto has conviction in Ubers? If so Salvation is the aura which grants you resists right? Maybe that?

6. I use beast+arm of king leoric, and i use a might merc.
What should my skeleton levels be to solo uber tristram


Not sure about this since I havent done it :( . (Its not available on Single Player). However I do know that Urdars will slaughter them pretty fast.

inifinity is the best choice.. meleers hit more, mages do more damage
get hoto, homonc, and marrows and you should be good
