Okay sounds good. The little tips like procing fade and using a life tap want should help.
I pulled only meph, then he just 1 shot me

yea just stand in fire till u fade then switch armor
i never bothered with that but it might be enough to mitigate that meph cold ball threat

Yes. Next to act 4 River of Flame waypoint a little bit north past the waypoint, there are these pillars with fire on them. You can stand your character in them and take damage from the fire. Just equip the treachery and stand in that fire until the fade procs and you can put on your coh back on.

Also don't skip out on buying a life tap charges wand (make sure it's a wand with CHARGES) from hell act 1 akara. Just keep checking her weapons page and if she doesn't have it, leave the act and come back (make sure you're in private game doing this) and then purchase a life tap wand.

You can BO yourself with cta then take the cta off and put on the wand and when you lure Mephisto you cast life tap on him he switch back to your grief and go to town. Do the same to baal and diablo. But make sure you lookup on YouTube how to do the fight, because you want to lure them 1 by 1.


Drognan in act 2 also works for the life tap wand. Whichever is most convenient for you. You need to leave the town completely to refresh their selling page though.

Perfect. I will get a treachery and lifetap wand and give it a go. Thanks everyone!

1 point into salvation, trust. Run salvation for meph, fanat once he's dead. You can also drink a bunch of antidotes and thawing potions before meph, they stack extra cold and poison res for i think 30s each; antidotes are useful for lillith too.

95 light res only matters if that's while meph high level conviction is active, it lowers your res like -130 , making salvation a life saver. Fade proc is ok, especially if you need the damage reducing , but it's a time waste when you're more confident. Personally i like verdungo belt over tgod

this is standard gear for smiter, your coh and hoz should give you plenty of resist.

If you want to be even more tanky get a last wish for fade.

You will be taking a lot of damage if your resists are negative but this should not be the case since pal shields offer the most resists of any class.

You also um the shield for another +22 all rest to get +72 all res on shield alone.

outside of that pal can get to max block 75% with much little dex compared to other classes. This is why pal is the tankiest of all classes.

like post #14 mentioned a lifetap on ubers will make sure you never die. As you first start the fight you are waiting for life tap to cast. Your life will bounce up and down but you should never be one shotted.

Ive killed ubers all together at once with smiter many times. Most people kill 1 at a time but they are really much easier and you can kill all 3 at once, especially with a smiter healing to full every smite.

Salvation vs meph! ah I wasnt doing that.

To be honest, if you're going the fade route you don't need to worry about that + fade helps with all the physical damage as well.

And the other posts are right, fade is definitely a crutch and makes it slower overall, but it's mainly for your first few clears until you're absolutely used to doing Ubers and eventually you can just do all 3 at once, but for your first few clears, do stuff like lifetap wand (btw Mephisto is VERY fast so make sure to cast it on him as soon as you can then swap to your grief/hoz immediately). Once you have life tap up and you're smiting mephisto, there is no way for you to die, especially with fade up. Salvation will slow down your smiting a lot and will make your healing from life tap much slower, so I can't vouch for salvation being a good strategy or not. I've personally never tried salvation, I've just always used fade from treachery or just rawdogging it with life tap wand with no fade. But judging how many saying salvation is good, then fade + salvation + life tap would just be overdoing it and there's zero chance of dying lol.

You definitely have enough advice to be able to kill them now your next try

Torch and anni hunter shouldn't carry a torch or an anni for obvious reasons. 1p salvation is enough for Mephisto. You don't need thundergod's vigor. I'd rather use string of ears and put some hard points in resist lightning for the overcap. MDR and damage reduction are more important vs Lilith and Diablo's minions.

Probably need more resist vs meph, salvation or higher level convi fixes this
