Personally i would fill weapon slot with ” Black ” runeword and use Draguls for OW% and LT.

Rest of EQ could be what ever with resitancess, also LT wand on switch would be nice to cast LT first before fight and Draguls would keep LT up.

The reason is the Uber bosses have massive life regen. They're very tough to kill without stopping the regen.

This can be completely removed by 3 different mechanics

Prevent monster heal
Poison damage ( any amount as long as it's active)
Open wounds

Even 5% open wounds on a shit blood belt will be sufficient, the duration will get refreshed before it expires if you're smiting

OW lasts 8 seconds, 1 in 20 smite will proc with a 5% blood belt. 1 in 10 with gores. How many smites you throwing in 8 seconds?

Why do I always see open wounds being considered as "useful" or "good" when it comes to ubers and people factoring in OW to every build but then there's never someone bringing up the OG big boy level 13 runewords with 50%/100% ow chance......

For real though, malice has 100% chance to cause open wounds. Just go for crushing blow and do damage, slap the boss with malice once every 10 seconds, and go back to smashing the boss with your normal gear........

Malice's 100% open wounds is on-par with life tap. You don't fight uber w/o lifetap, and not without open wounds. Equip item, slap debuff on them, then fight.

Why is every build afraid to have a malice in the inventory to simply shift click, attack, shift click back.


Yeah also

Gores

10% on gore's, it's brutally low. Also this is assuming a player isn't using Dracs and is relying on a lifetap wand. Drac's can be very difficult to procure at the start of a ladder restart. If gear pricing isn't a factor I've seen all 6 ubers done in 45 seconds so no point in having a discussion about it.


on begining of ladder usually i use as a weapon kingslayer runeword
50% OW 33% CB
