not to be 'that guy' but I could not disagree with you more on your weapon set.

Players routinely use cookie cutter builds and miss the subtle bonuses of some lower items.

this is how I do ubers.

1. get a lifetap charges wand. Then you dont have that few sec of omfg I hope it goes off soon.
2. gearing is important but not as big of a deal as people think as you can use skill to get the ubers down fast as hell with practice and never giving up.

ok here is my howto
make a cookie cutter smiter.
get a cta/spirit and a lw or grief with an exile for shield, THEN GET ANOTHER LOW EXILE AND A Crescent Moon Phase blade.
Crescent moon is a runeword that is overlooked so often but it procs 'Static' which can take a pally smiting all 3 uber bosses to a place where they all are at 50% health in a matter of 3 seconds of fastest attack speed!

steps
open portal
go to frigid and bo up
back to town and swap for lifetap wand if you have it
go into Utrist and tap one of the 3 gubers
back to town.
get your CMPB and rand exile
enter Utrist and get all 3 bosses on your ass.
once they are at 50%ish... weapon swap to your grief and they all die.

faster than it sounds!

Stormlash > CMoon in Static proccs.
The % lowered is already countered by %CB which makes static redundant.
LW is not better than Grief, calculations were already made. BO is unnecessary.
Your entire management here takes much longer than it should with a simple Grief.

hmm i have no probelm doing ubers solo with my build

level 86 zealot/ one point wonder smite(normal zealot build)

gear:
COH
Vamp gaze
Dracs
BKx2
EBOTDZ
Gores
NO BELT
Eth Exile
forgot ammy : /
barb torch and no pally skill charms

i use zeal on all the monsters and smite on the D/M/B

once in awhile i die but its usually my mistake, clicking the wrong spot and walking away....lol but when i get my body back its fine. it is a lot of life leach and dracs cast the life tap and i ony go thru 4 full rejuvs

strenght and dex= enough for gear
vit 400+

i thought it wouldve been so much harder the first time i did it but its pretty easy, my life orb goes up and down like crazy but rarely gets to a 1/4 and i only use rejuvs when it gets down there.
