I have an echoing strike warlock with mid res. I really want to try to take on Ubers but am worried about instantly dying.

Can a bound heph tank them?

Yes bound heph is fine. All you need is cursed and you can clear it all easily. Pre buff fade with treachery if needed. Just be sure not to let baal or Izzy shivering armor smoke you.

Mephisto's conviction is -125 res

If I throw on a raven would that be enough to negate their ice business?

no

Not ice you need to worry about, but Meph's conviction + lightening damage. You would need to keep a distance, all while paying attention to Meph's summons not damaging you. IMO just ask a Pally to at least clear Meph, then have at it with Baal & Diablo which should be easy peazy for the Warlock.

You have several easy options.Get fade from treachery, drink 10 yellow potions from malah for max cold res, wear raven, wear snowclash, but best of all get behind your demon when hitting baal.

You're missing the point. Shivering armor will wreck the shit out of you if you do Uber with ranged characters and do not properly position yourself or have res.

I do them very often on ES warlock, haven’t had any issues at all, just let hephasto tank and they all die in seconds

If you’re worried about Baals shiver armor or whatever one he uses, just rock mirrored blades on him, takes like 20 seconds to kill him with that

I got smoked once by baals shiver armor. second time i made sure i had a proper hephasto with curse + aura. i tested positioning with izual while getting organs. was easily able to replicate on baal. i had 85 cold res from thawing potions and a cold absorb shield ready in case i did need to tank some hits.

hephasto was in 0 danger.
