Character Builds and Gear for Tristram

**bongmaster420** · 04-08-2005, 05:34

I need to make a character to kill trist, as none of mine are strong enough for even lilith. I recently got a couple hr's from trading keys(lol) so i might be able to get some better gear now. I would really like to know what other people are using, and I also think it will help people to see what others have used to win in tristram.

Thanks

i heard smiters are doing great. as long as you got exile, life tap gets you crazy life leech.

i had to kill meph, i killed baal and diablo with friend, but meph was too hard. we called on for help and a smiter came and killed it all by himself, with two other peeps in game. he pwnd him, totaly. only 2k dmg, but man it doest the job. i'd suggest smiters for tristram.

The best build for Tristram is either a zealot or a smiter IMO. You may also want to try a barb. Look in the barbarian and paladin guide threads 4 these builds.

Pougee's smiter/zealot DClone killer build is for the most part perfect.

My barb owned this (life tap, pvm and cb are very useful).

keyword here : Life Tap. i think its the only way to survive Meph

my zeal/smite pally doesn't have a exile and he killed the ubers 2 times and he will kill again when me and my friend get another key. all you need is dracs. took meph all by my self both times. smite him and the lifetap will cast...o yes it will cast

. i was using a hoz, non-upped.

yeah, what i meant by "as long as you got exile" is that life tap is important, if not essential for ubers. since dracs got life tap, its the same thing. exile only makes it pop more often.
make sure you got crushin blow too, itll be really useful
never forget tho : never without a rubber.
