Just wanted to say that i entered uber trist for the first time today, and successfully killed first baal, then mephisto (This was where my revives started to pop down on the ground, stupid 3min timer) And then i did diablo without revives, couldnt be arsed to search for more. Piece of cake and i got a 20 / 17 pala torch :D

Yeah, I think you can find a better armor for your merc. Try a chains of honor, it gives him needed resists and life leech. Thorns or high defense aren't usually necessary for doing ubers.

Congrats, your first torch is an AWESOME find!

Hey Peanut.
I found it incredible. My experience with Ubers are much more painful.
What about next hunt. Did you found it as another piece of cake? I wonder if you had luck or your equip (especially beast) works better then mine.

Congratulation of nice drop.

Congratulations. I would like to ask if you used any mages, or just used the skellies. I bet that beast runeword was a real help.

Shuy, yeah, it's been easy going all the way.. i can usually do all three before the revives start dying now, using an insight iron golem and my merc with infinity is sweet.. beast seems to help alot tbh, and I havnt stumbled on a situation where i miss the +skills and resist from hoto yet. I was thinking about turning my irongolem into a pride-golem for yet another aura, but honestly, i dont need it..

Yesterday i timed myself doing baal hell in a 2player game, (my friend was doing pits while i cleared baal..)

Without urdars for crushing blow (only source was my merc who has 40% from infinity and 15% from guiellerums face) I just used revived from wave 2-3-4 before baal.

1st attempt: 16seconds (a few teleports and got hit by coldwave)
2nd: 14seconds (he just stood still)
3rd: 21seconds (teleporting bastard killed my merc really quickly)
4th: 17seconds
5th: 20seconds

I've seen ppl talking about hell baal beeing so time consuming that it's just not worth killing him.. with the right gear it's profit :)

for peytron, i always use both skellies and mages, i've tried to just use mages + merc to kill meph etc, using lower resist as curse, but it takes too long, for solo mobs in pits etc they rock thou. With my 14 skellies, 14 mages and my trusty merc this char is the most fun i've ever had on d2 :)
