I recall doing ubers maybe once or twice as a wee lad when first released.

With the release of d2r, I starting doing ubers (I only play HC) with a level 79-81 smiter. I watched a single youtube video and got to work.

I did 20 torches pre-ladder, and now have completed over 50+ on ladder.

My question is: what are you guys doing/not doing that gets yourself overwhelmed/killed? I've made a couple mistakes, especially early on, but made it out sucessfully every time and I can't imagine how people are dying.

i could say first (even if this doesnt make any sense to you): bad luck, something like a 2 seconds bad connexion lag when uber meph appears and shoots you or attacks you and with his aura etc etc etc...

then i think well, bad gear i guess, ignorance about the proper gear needed to face ubers or something like that (or people trying to kill them using "potential gg builds" that dont actually work)

and lastly they dont know "the strategy" to clean uber tristram until becoming "experts", so they try to face all 3 uber bosses at the same time without knowing how to do so and etc etc

i am a very carefull player when it comes to uber bosses... i like to be very strategic even if im using gg gear (i like to beat my own time records) and i genuinely enjoy doing ubers.

ive been called to help sometimes to people's games and as soon as i enter uber tristram the game (for real) crashed because of all the skeletons and monsters casted by bosses lol i still have some pics, but you cannot fully appreciate the amount of mobs ingame xD (those were the only games i couldnt clean, but just because my old laptop couldnt handle the pressure lmao)

but i guess ubers are still a tough enemy for some players

I appreciate the reply. That makes sense, I didn't really consider that connection plays a big part.

In my experience, even with varying levels of gear, I think I had 2 or 3 close calls but pretty much as long as life tap is up I'm never worried.

I know what you mean when you say you genuinely enjoy it. One of my favorite parts of the game

I know this is an old thread, but I'm bored at work.

I was struggling at first until...

1. Someone told me to drink antidote pots ahead of time for lillith

2. Someone taught me to separate meph away from the others and kill him first.

3. I did put on different gear for meph and switch back for others.

Also, I do this on fury druid which is fun. Definitely slower than smite but i like it.

Holy Thunder got 60% lightning reisist - there is Sanches Panchos, perfect for werewolf ant fire claws :panda:

:there is a lot of spam emerald crown:

I've always loved fury druids. That makes sense. Thanks for sharing!
