Hi!
I'm looking for advice from players more experienced with Fendazons than me. I've made this char two times, last ladder and this ladder. She is extremely fun and can be powerful, I don't have any problems with regular pvm/clearing any area, but I was determined to kill Ubers with this char. Solo. I failed multiple times, but I do think that it could be done. Looking for people who actually succeed with such challenge. Or any input. For me it's just impossible to do!

My current Fendazon:
Regular pvm gear:
Andariel's Visage + ias jewel
Fortitude wyrmhide
Highlord's
eBotD Matriarchal Pike +3skills
Dracul's Grasp
upped Gore Rider
Nosferatu's Coil
Raven Frost
Carron Wind/Wisp/BK/Dwarf
CtA/Spirit
Inventory: torch 20/16, 17/11 anni, 1 java skiller, rest are res small charms
Merc: a2 Might aura, eth Reaper's + Shael, eth Duress, Guilliame's.
With this gear setup res are maxed. 125 ias. 15CB, 47 Deadly Strike, 35 OW. 10 fhr :-( Fend dmg up to 14k.
I should fix her stats, lol, rn str is 265, dex 237, vita 281= 1266 life. I will lower her str and put more points in vita.
I made some gear changes for Ubers:
-prebuffing: Enchant from Demon Limb, Fade from Treachery.
- Guilliame's with ias jewel, Laying of Hands, eth upped Hone Sundan socketed with 3xOhm
- Life Tap wand
I really don't know what else could I do to improve this char. She is super fun, but maybe I should acceptbthe fact that not every char can succeed and kill Ubers.
What do you think?

Have you thought about using an act 5 merc with lawbringer for sanctuary aura? Would take care of undead minions. Also blackhorns face is a good helm for meph. Has 20 light sorb, but gface has the cb..
Other than that idk, perhaps sink a few points into decoy for another meat shield.
Are you sure you have enough points into dodge? :D

If blizzard would fix the fend bug I bet ubers would be no problem :wallbash:

I don't have any points in Dodge/Avoid/Evade, bc of Fend bug. I prefer to hit and leech than constantly be stuck in dodge animation :-(
Nice idea with Lawbringer merc, I could try this! Although Reaper's merc really helps while getting organs - surprisingly Duriel is the hardest mini Uber for my zon.
I'll definitely gonna try few more times, I'm extremely stubborn, lol.
Thank you!

Use jab against the bosses, not Fend.

I think you need more CB if possible. Maybe lose Andy's and get a life tap wand and let dracs compensate for it. I also don't know a thing about fend.

Lawbringer is interesting but it's just a stall imo, I would run Merc with infinity for cb/Andy's/fort not sure what reaper gives though. Never used it, and it shows

I believe the only few things any character needs is:

Enough attack rating to hit all uber bosses
Fast attack speed
Crushing blow
100+ resistance plus some extra lightning on top of that
Life tap "curse" (wand or dracs)
Enough survivability to take 1-2 hits from uber meph before ur next life tap attack


Merc with reapers or lawbringer will over run the life tap curse with decrepify which results in death..
