The 1pt smiter guide to Uber Tristram v 1.0.

@ viftovn:

Pindleskin and the like are kicking you around because of the lack of life tap... It really gives you a few more seconds to stand toe to toe with them and drop them before they can drop you... Those guys are nasty, but after life tap casts, it's over... They can't do anything to you... Just don't stop zealing or smiting...

Also, about physical immunes... Get yourself either an Azurewrath, or make a Passion rune word... I prefer to make Passion in a phase blade so it doesn't need to be repaired... It has a barb skill called Berserk on it that delivers all magic damage, thus rendering IM and physical immunes helpless... On the other hand, Azurewrath deals out a good bit of physical damage, 250-500 cold damage, and 250-500 magic damage... All at the same time... Physical immunes drop in seconds... IM still poses a bit of a threat though...

As for using the tiara... It sounds like a great tiara, but I'm rather concerned about the fact that you don't already have max resists in hell... With the way pally shields are with base resists, it should be more than too easy to get far over max resists with your armor and shield alone... What armor and shield are you using?

I think it could work, but you won't kill the ubers anywhere near as quick... It would definitely give you some style points for going a little "outside the box"...

I like to use gimmershred on the PI's. you can even throw them if u get struck w/ Im.

I use hoz instead of exile. Just cant afford it. Wouldn't a lvl 5 life tap wand suffice in uber trist?

Hi, whatsup Requiem_Death...I have 2 questions/suggestions for you!!!

1.)=Physical Imunity Question
2.)=My Uber Scenario
3.)=Uber Question


1. I saw what you wrote about Physical Imunities(PI's)and was just thinking about only one point into Vengeance for them pesky PI's???? I could get Azurewrath or Passion weapons i'm sure they would work.....but i have a CTA and Spirit on the switch that provide me with BO so that would be a pain to make a town run just to get the weapon for PI's :undecided: . If i add one point into Vengeance the skill lvl would be @ lvl 9, could that be worth the one point to see what it can do with PI's???

2. Also about Ubers...I did an Uber Trist run with two friends in the game so the difficulty was harder than solo obviously,but I didn't die!!! They wanted to see what Uber was and how it worked, to make a long story short I had to do all the Uber myself with 2 other ppl in the game for the first time!!! Now starting off it was fine...I hit Meph first and within 10 seconds he was down for the count. Next I fought Diablo...now of course he was easy but his minions were plain and simple annoying and got in my way to much! After wrestling with diablo and his minions I ran into Baal finally...again minions were just in the way blocking him...then some did have PI's so that didn't help the clearing process. Anywho I killed him, but I used a couple of full rejuvies.....here's my question.

3. I was curious if one point into Conversion for croud control around Diablo & Baal, would more minions fight with me kill & get the hell out of my way? What do you think about these idea's that i'm sure they have been brought up b4??????

Other members have tried Vengreance and reported that, unsynergized, it did too little damage to be effective. Note that the damage bonus from Grief doesn't add to Vengeance (which is a shame as I think Avengers are pretty cool, but underpowered in the current patch).

3. I was curious if one point into Conversion for croud control around Diablo & Baal

Again, those who have tried it reported it was hard to keep even one monster converted. If you want to disable monsters, perhaps a Delirium Helm would work. Terror and Confusion would override Life Tap of couse, but bosses are immune to these curses, so they would stay Life Tapped.

Even though I don't trist anymore, I didn't know about them curses not going in :shocked: And I've done a good 40ish trists. Thanks alot for that enlightenment.

Yes, you need to read all 115 pages of this thread to find these interesting snippets. :wink3:

I have a question.
Right now my zealer is using 2ravens and highlords and tgods. In trist, would it be wise to switch to a raven/ wisp? my character became dependent on the +20 dex so i can't take one of the ravens off. Fortunately, with bo I have over 4k life. But i'm not sure if I should get that wisp for light absorb, perhaps drawf for fire absorb? :undecided:

[vifteovn]

I use Kiaras yes They are cool enough, but I really needed it coz of the resist. My shield is a diamond soceted alma negra, and my armour is a three topazed Griswold. I know they are not perfcet, but I'm not rich, and this is my only character :P

The armour has given me some nice things to trade away for stuff But I guess I need something else in tristram.

The problem with pindelskin is not life tap, its just when they charge me I dont even have time to hit them. I'm denfently going to put some more points into defiance to boost defence.

What items give BO by the way?

Hi, ok i think this has been asked/said b4..but i am lvl 92 with two skill points left with Zeal,Smite,Holy shield, and Fanta all maxed and sacrafice is almost maxed...so with the 2 skillpoints left currently @ lvl92 (almost lvl 93) should one point into Fire, Ice, and Lightning Aura....that would put them lvl 10, someone told me that every 2 points into them gives you 1point to max resist is this true??? And if it is true would it be worth just putting one point into them???
Note: Cause if this is not true i would rather put the rest of my points into maxing out my sacrafice the rest of the way.:grin:

[templecrasher]

You only get the bonus for "hard" points, +skills don't help. You get +1 max res for each 2 points - a waste IMO. Go for Sacrafice to maximize your Zeal Damage.
