Is salvation really needed against ubers?

[fliker]

I see lots of people getting salvation just for ubers + switching from fort to coh, but isn't it possible to get to 100 to all resists without these elements, it seems too much to me...

I'd like to be able to kill ubers using fort and fana aura...

my resists are coming from:

umed guillaume
fort
pdiamand HOZ
couple of resis charms
anya quest

I believe you need:

100-30+75+125 = 270 to + resist, if you haven't died once in that game. I like to be safe and stay at +300 from gear!

I never have salvation on when I uber, I use a lvl 90 smiter so I life leach + my gears make me have 95 resistances. When mef negates my Light resistance or w/e he does I just suck the life out of him with dracs+smite+fanta

I use Sanctuary (Ko+Ko+Mal) in a high res shield. You can get up to 115 from a perfect roll in that shield alone...

It all comes down to one thing, can you take a hit from Meph with his -125% resists conviction, and can you leech it back before the next hit? If yes, then you don't need to worry about it. If not, then you may want to consider salvation or better resists gear. Everyone's different.

uh? So the normal 175 in hell doesn't apply to ubers? you need 270?!

2- I wasn't aware meph had a strong conviction lol I need to rethink my stuff now


Question is can I still survive with 175 total to all resists or is more needed?

Yes, his conviction lowers your res by 100 points.

I think it's 125. Notice that the anya resist doesn't count in that 270.

Salvation is a handy litle skill. I think it's worth the one point. Against Meph, the options are your normal maxed resists + sanctuary, or stacked resists with Fanatic. Without one of those, it's a crapshoot. You just have to hope you can leech enough life from Meph and the skellies don't 1-hit kill you.

+113 Sacred Rondache Sanctuary + CoH + Anya + Take Meph out first = Shiny new torch :grin:

Mephs Conviction only comes into play if you let him hang around. Kill him first and your fine with +175 all. Life Tap should fill you life fast enough to keep you alive.
