Just simple question what you can tell me and make it easier.
I have done a lot of uber tristram on my smiter i know there is more room to kite and step but with ancients i see a no go.
Do you think guys to keep normal set up or stack more DR and how do u engage them especially i think of there is always 1v3 you cant kite them.

setup:
grief pb
gface umed
hl
durres

Dont try in hardcore unless 290 all res.

Used to kite them day 2 on ladder when not BiS gear, better i could do was get a 1v2 fight.

Just for the record, i've done over 300 uber ancients never died once and i only use 2 of the items in the list.

Ancients fight is -200 all res, you'd want 90 fire max res

Thanks for help i did like 20+ and it worked pretty well with your tips.
btw if someone read it later on keep walking not running to avoid 0 armor and easy hits
