It was an interesting read mate ! I will watch, not atm, kinda busy with lots of papers but really interesting.

Don't mind all these spawns that simply join these pvm sections to talk trash really.

I did it!
Trang-Oul's Summon Necromancer Uber Trist Run (solo)
http://www.twitch.tv/agguh/c/4561363
The first 3 mini ubers went incredibly well, Mephisto for some reason focused my revives instead of my merc, so he was not problem at all too.
Baal was quite hard, with all the summons, and clones and appendages getting in my way, but managed to get him down. The terrible bone prison proc on aokl didn't make my life much easier too...
Diablo was supposed to be very easy, but the fight was real disaster, my merc would die to his firestorm instantly and all the spawn crap surrounded the red portal so I had big problems escaping the tristram.
Overall I would say this was very tough, having to keep the right curse, watch my health, my mercs health, juv at the right time, recast bone armor, teleport on top of them, spam terror on mobs and keep spamming poison nova, not forgetting to repair my amulet and always having to worry about urdars timer was so exhausting.
Luckily I didn't make any critical mistakes.
So overall Trangs summoner is definitely not an efficient way to do ubers, but totally doable with 'right' strategies.
I enjoyed doing Ubers with a freaking vampire. :)

And this is one of those many reasons why for over a decade I've prefered single player over bnet... Can't believe that I was brave enough to stay until the very last second :D

Just wanted to hang out in Tristram while waiting for friends to help me mule, when lag striked again.. Would have been so pitty to end it this way..
DaggerAgguh, my first level 90 necromancer this ladder died to lag as well, glad this didn't happen this time.

Stay tuned for more crazy Ubers! :)

Thanks man, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
The next challenge will be Uber Tristram with a bowazon and it is going to suck a lot, I tell you..

I'm already feeling bad that you will have to go through this :)
I was thinking about doing it at some point on the weekend maybe..
Not sure if I know well what to do against Mephisto already.. but I guess I will find out when I will try :)

can I ask, will you be sticking with set items (M'avina) or will it be forti giant skull faith ect?

I've done it with good bow eq but not M'avina. someone who I used to play with did it with set eq, it took quite a while.

resists and hp will always be a problem but achievable if you take your time and get your inv full.

Another huge rule I have in my gameplay - NO RUNEWORDS AT ALL. I just dont like them. So this basically means no fade and no cta vs ubers which is huge.

I never use any runewords :)
open wounds is the biggest problem for me..

So I got pretty much stuck with my bowazon run, after my first run I wanted delete her right away, so I decided to do a casual run with my barb, this time using whirlwind instead of concentrate:

IK Whirlwind Barb Uber Trist Run (solo)
http://www.twitch.tv/agguh/c/4658118

I'm surprised how so many people on bnet said that ik barb is bad against ubers and now I did a run with no trouble at all and very fast too I would say.
Well this might a practice run before one more crazy idea I have with him, but that would probably would mean death to this nice barb...

And I will try to get back to my bowazon now. :)
At least I want to die trying..
