Blood oath and the usual skills

I dont have full resist. Any advice on how to do this?

Is echoing strike good for ubers or should I just get exile for my paladin?

you're more than good enough to kill Ubers.

Just let Hephaesto tank everything. Don't try to face tank them. Use Lethargy Sigil on them all.

For Izzy and Baal, make sure to stand BEHIND Hephaesto so he's between you and them. Easy setup for this is to just teleport nearby, do not move, and give Heph a second to charge them. Then just ES them without moving from that spot. Reposition if Baal teleports before you get Sigil on him.

Sometimes Heph won't go straight at them, going slightly off the path because of a different monster or something like that, so just make sure he's face tanking the Ice Bolts before you all out attack.

He can face tank the Ice Bolt reflects effortlessly, while they will melt you. Alternatively, you could pop some Thawing potions and put on a Ravenfrost ring and you'll take far less damage from them.

Never fight Baal and Meph at the same time. The conviction will melt you if a stray Ice Bolt hits you or Baal teleports on top of you. So always lure Meph out to take on alone. Diablo can't do anything to you.

You will kill them in 10 sedconds.
Just be careful with the cold armor from baal, it's the only thing that can kill you. Drink yellow potions and wear a raven if you feel more safe. Just stand behind your demon and the cold spikes will not touch you.

Nice. A question about the marked. A key set 3x3 costs around 120 fg on softcore non ladder now. A unid torch is 150 fg. If a torch is not a warlock torch it is more or less worthless unless it has very good stats. Or atleast hard to sell.

Lets say I get a druid 15/15. most people will not buy that. Maybe I can get 1 ist ingame for it or something like that.

So the there is 1/8 chance the torch will valuable.

Keyset is easy to sell
Unid torch is average to sell?
Identifed torch is more or less worthless it is warlock torch. Which has 1/8 chance to occur.

I am trying to figure out if this will be worthwhile to do?

What do you guys think?

The plan is
-buy key sets 3x3 vs 120 fg
-I sell unid torch vs 150 fg

I suspect that it will be hard to sell unid torch?

Or

Second plan
- I buy key sets 3x3 vs 120 fg
- I identify torches and hope for a warlock torch

I kind of feel it is better to fram keys and sell them and then buy a warlock torch vs 1000 fg

Worth it if you hit, otherwise not so no one can tell unless you do it a few thousand times and list the outcomes
But the dopamine hit is nice though so it depends on if you like gambling or not

could prebuff with treachery -- fade. Makes it more safe in an easy way. (thats what i do, hardcore though)

I ran it with chat gpt.

1/8 chance to get torch
1 unid torches valued at 150 fg

1 warlock torch valued at 1000 fg

1 torch at anything else considered worthless or hard to sell.

Chat GPT says it is better to just buy a torch

I will probably try to run uber 1 time and then sell the unid torch vs 150 fg
Just to check how much hassel it is.
