Dude...

You advertise a clean uber ancients, performed by a veteran barb and...

The gear is not tailored towards killing any kind of ubers.

You try to proc life tap from dracs with frenzy, instead of casting it from a wand once and be done with it.

You gear your merc so that he overwrites life tap with amp immediately after.

You don't event try to split the ancients or anything.

You almost died couple of times, having 4k life pool and dropping to below 1k hp.

Everything with your threads would be fine if you didn't boast so much about how veteran & expert you are. Just a bit humility and self deprecating humor and nobody will be calling you the next cstrike99.

Honestly ,half the time my expert remarks are troll. I know you must of caught on by now. I think the Cstrike thing came about from appearance more so than gameplay.

What setup would you use barb vs ancient uber ? Honestly running more damage reduce would be helpful, at least a dungo which I didn’t have.

Also agree on the life tap over ride issue. I wouldn’t run that Merc for Ubers again

This was also just 10 days into Ubers and I was using pretty much the gear I had found or traded for.l


grief stormshield dracs goblin string raven angelic. helm/armor for res, could use gface too
lifetap wand on swap, use concentration. youre basically a smiter
but idk havent actually tried it


I did concentrate barb uber runs in early ladder, in the first d2r hc seasons. It's very safe & stable.

Kill time is of course slower than smiters, kicksins or javazons, but it's not too too bad.

I used kingslayer, stormshield, duress (fade from treachery for meph), SoE (Tgods for meph), gores, gface, ravenfrost, angelic ring + amu, dracs. 98% CB and a lot of OW & DS.
