for an uber kicksin that will only be doing ubers and mini ubers (running not with enigma). Would it be better to spend skill points in Shadow Master to max it or to max death sentry instead. I am not sure how helpful the shadow master would be.

Thanks

I was thinking the same thing but not high enough level to see how useful the shadow master really is. Thanks for the advice. Should I skip the master all together and just spend the last few points on a synergy for death sentry instead?

Just tested Shadow Master in single player for ubers, and it dies instantly. I think this might just be a 1 point wonder skill.

yeah definitely DS.... SM can be useful to divert some mobs but can be annoying if it brings more mobs

SM can be useful sometimes (between 10 and 20 poitns you'll notice that it does smth (not rly in uber though) - more than 20 doesn't rly change anything - so not worth going for higher lvls there ... for uber I'd say if you put 20 in DS and did everything else and don't know where to put the rest then yeah put some in SM ^^

Thank you guys for the info. I respected and just did one point in SM and maxed death sentry. I definitely think this is the better option. I ran my first ubers today and have to say it didn’t go quite as planned. Getting to the mini ubers is a nightmare. Tele ing to them with a item with charges is slow and get interrupted a lot leading to deaths. Then when finding Lilith I would instant die from the mob around her before being able to swap weapons and dragon flight to her to get life tap going. But there are too many mobs to try and run without clearing. Even with a maxed death sentry clearing is EXTREMELY SLOW. Do you have any tips?

Some ideas:



You can just run into Lilith's room and get her to chase you out to a safe place. Don't fight her with mobs around that can cast Amplify Damage or supply Might/Fanaticism.
