My trister is like this;(I tried lot of items,but my opinion is these.Mephi is absolutely difficult- -150 Res ^^ -,but others are too easy)

Weapon : Heaven's Light w/2xShael ( I got 33 Cb on Weapon + 35 on Helm + 15 on boots = 83 Cb is good enough.)

Armor: 15 Ed Scarab Coh (I wrote it for my res.With duress my res sux.If i use kiras i ll loose cb.Thats why i use it)

Helm: Um'd Guillaume

Shield: Griswold Shield w/3xPdia 102 Res Nice!!(I Tried Up'd Zaka With Um but Griswold's Dmg is better and res are godly.2x Pala Sk and 2x Combat on Zaka not effect too much on dmg.Min dmg is good but max dmg is fair.So my opinion is waste of runes on zaka)

Amu : Highlords

Belt : Tgods and dungos (Tgods for ubers)

Rings: 11 all res 15 str ... - 20 dex Raven - Dwarf for tristam

Boots: Goreriders

Gloves: Draculs 15 Str

Charms: 19-20 l scs and 2x 14 All Res Gcs - 2x 13 allres gcs

With mephi i die 1-2 time but i dont have enough experience for tristam yet.I entered 2 times.Diablo and Baal is so easy,but take care his minions.

Isn't that a little much stength, does any have any different pref's for a shield? Why go with arcon plate if your strength is so high alrdy?

COH VS GUARDIAN ANGEL

ROUND 1

If your using the build above you should have your res's maxed out already(thats what i have in hell). Chains offers you a 8% damage reduction +1 to skills and more def. Guardian angel offers u +15 max res to all which can come in handy when fights uber's(GA can be socked and umed or whatever to cover the 15% gain in max res's) In the end if u choose to go with GA you will have some nasty res and on the other hand if u go with COH you will have better def + 1 more skill. Comments are welcome

+2 To All Skills << nice 1 more level then GA
+200% Damage To Demons <<<
+100% Damage To Undead <<< Included into smite damage i dunno?
8% Life Stolen Per Hit << useless to a smiter
+70% Enhanced Defense <<< can get more def then a GA
+20 To Strength << can come in handy
Replenish Life +7
All Resistances +65 << nice res but, why would you need it!
Damage Reduced By 8% << damage reduc
25% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items

Defense: 770-825 (varies)(Base Defense: 252-274)
Required Level: 45
Required Strength: 118
Durability: 60
+180-200% Enhanced Defense(varies)
+20% Increased Chance Of Blocking << okay i guess
+30% Faster Block Rate << okay i guess
+ (2.5 Per Character Level) 2-247 To Attack Rating Against Demons (Based On Character Level) <<< Included into smite damage i dunno?
+1 To Paladin Skill Levels << COH has 1 more
+4 To Light Radius
15% To Maximum Poison Resist
15% To Maximum Cold Resist
15% To Maximum Lightning Resist
15% To Maximum Fire Resist << your max res's

going to try this build now, will come back with how it works for me. Also, anyone have a link on full guide to Uber bosses(how to spawn, etc...)?

Did you see Uber Mephisto and his Conviction Aura which takes -1xx res from you?And while you smite him,did you see his mages which hit fire,poison,cold and light?Did you die in 0.01 seconds?You need too much res as you can afford for ubers.

Max res add is great but you need much more res.Not 15 w/ Um.

But if you use Kira's,well you dont need CoH.But you need Cb for ubers and i dont want to lose 35 Cb from Guilaume's.

I got 85 Full light res with Mephi's Aura.

another armor that is cheaper then duress is treachery... is godly

5% Chance To Cast Level 15 Fade When Struck <<<<< res oO + DR
25% Chance To Cast level 15 Venom On Striking
+2 To Assassin Skills
+45% Increased Attack Speed
+20% Faster Hit Recovery
Cold Resist +30%
50% Extra Gold From Monsters

i take ubers in just few seconds with this armor... but remember b4 goin in to the tristram u should go out somewhere to activate the fade... or u can also just equip the Treachery let the fade activate then equip coh, duress etc... hmm but i wonder if forti works with smite? can som1 answer this question?

well just about uber i think this guide is expensive and unsafe way....

use dracul for life tap 1 st :
-leech with smithe
-for some reason i forget realy faster the killing
use a lot of cruching blow for some evident reason (50% is enough thoug !)

get conviction to lv 21 so that u dont need stack res and can use other mod

mi uber killer have
smith 1 +bonus
zeal 1 +bonus
conviction 21 with bonus
holy shield max
fanatism max
the rest between charge and defiance cause i dont realy need thoose point ^^
1500 life only
90/95 all res

my full stuff cost around 2 soj ^^

and i kill the three in two minute maybee if i dont manage to separe them and have to fight three of them at the same time ^^

let you think of that ^^

Thats about as far as i got when i said...what the hell is this guy talking about? LEARN ENGLISH!

Anyway... i'd switch btwn an umed gangel and a coh depending on the uber your fighting. I use gangel for lillith/duriel/izzy/dclone/baal/diablo/dclone and the COH for meph. Any other conviction's? I think just meph.

nice guide

Why not the runeword Kingslayer? Other than the fact that the runes could be a bit expensive to collect.
The stats are not bad at all the ED, IAS and -25 Def could help out.

+30% Increased Attack Speed
+230-270% Enhanced Damage (varies)
-25% Target Defense
20% Bonus To Attack Rating
33% Chance of Crushing Blow
50% Chance of Open Wounds
+1 To Vengeance
Prevent Monster Heal
+10 To Strength
40% Extra Gold From Monsters
