So, I currently have a necromancer walkthrough going, in hardcore singleplayer. The link is in my sig if you care to delve deeper.

I have been playing it for a while now and am pretty close to making an enigma, self-made...buttt... I don't know how much more motivation I have to continue farming for 1 more ber rune ( I can already make a JAH)

My main goal is to get a torch on this character, to kind of finish out my WT.

I need to know if this plan will work for killing ubers..

Remember... this is on /players 8 and in hardcore mode. so preferably not dying would work best. Heres a look at my would be gear setup: I also have a socket quest left to use.

level 94 necromancer
Shako Um'd
Beast Double Axe
Trang-Ouls Wing
Um'd Vmagi 48 RES @
Not sure what rings to use... I have these stashed (Raven/Soj/Bk/Dwarf) Also a very nice FCR/Sttrgh/life/11+res all ring.
Boots to choose from would be (Treks/WW's/Nats/Aldurs) also have tri resist boots. 10FHR/24CR/22LR/21FR
Amulets... not much here. I have a +3 summon magic. Never found a maras. I could use a teleport charges amulet considering if I try this enigma will not be in the picture.
Arachs belt, no tgods.
Gloves - Trangs
6 BO CTA/BO Shield

Also have an Anni. Countless 20 lifer scs. Some with resists. about 5x 5ALL RES scs. a few 14 res Grand charms. etc. Would fill my inventory with resists/life.

merc Gear:
Eth Fortitude
Eth CA Obedience
Guillames (also have a KIRAS)


Tell me your thoughts on this guys. Critique it. Thank you.

i must say i am very impressed of your gameplay. it is difficult to find people these days purely enjoying the game without greedy trading, hacking, and botting.

as for your prospects, can i assume that your respec'd your necro into a summoner? from the walkthrough, it seems you are still a pnb.
i think summoners would stand a good chance, and the teleport is pretty much to gather your mobs, so i think a teleport ammy is fine.
put kira's on your merc because 40% cb on obediance major enough to get that trivial 15% from guilly, and it needs res against meph.

Thank you, there are quite a few Hardcore SP /p8 Walk's that are MUCH more impressive than mine.

- I will be respeccing to summoner. I have 4-5 summon grand charms too.
- Yeah I think I will use Kiras on the merc for it. I might use my last Socket quest on it to throw in a Pdiamond or UM.


This is all depending if I decide to try ubers without farming lower kurast for another ber (or runes to cube up to it).
I can either do that... or with the high runes I already have make this:

-Beast Double Axe
-Eth Fortitude

with leftover runes of:
-2x LO (or a sur)
1x OHM
1x VEX
1x IST
1x GUL
1x MAL

so I could possibly make other stuff from those. the main thing I want to figure out is if it is worth it to stop going for Enigma, and try ubers with the above list of items. I would really like to wrap this walkthrough up.

You can but you will need the ability to revive at least 30+ Uders/Blunderboars/Maulers (monsters with crushing blow and smite on attack)

And you will also need teleport charges or Enigma.

It would also help if you could get ladder runewords but if your playing 100% legit single player, im not sure you could do this, at least not without several years of game play before hand.

How is Uber-Tristram in single player ? How many mobs summoned by the 3 ?

If, as I suspect, there is none, then this is not a real challenge...

you will need to revive so many urdars it well be annoying. you may run out of them before you kill all 3. the amount of life they have on p8 is insane and with the regen it is tough. but should be achievable.

but if it's single player then the ubers aren't a challenge, it's not the same as on battlenet.

If you make your iron golem out of a weapon that has "prevents monster heal" or have merc use anything that causes open wounds, the ubers regen effect are negated.

I have ladder runewords enabled. I have a teleport amulet.

achievable huh. what do you think my odds of success are @ killing them?

If p8 seems to daunting I might just do it as players set to 1.
