Other thing is is your smiter all alone in game? It is way easier alone in game that with even 1 other char in there with ya....


Yes definitely all alone in game. I can’t even manage P1 game with him right now. I can kill sure and Izzy is so so. But I definitely struggle against Lilith and don’t want to start Ubers yet until I know I can kill easier.

I maybe need to swap out gear options. Try for an eth exile base and then see what happens?

Yeah, eth will help some. Lilith is the hardest one, even the 3 in uber trist to get torch are easier...lol

Questions/suggestions:

GFace - is this um'd?
Highlords
Grief pb
Coh Coh does not help smite, just zeal. no reason to use coh as a smiter. %ed helps smite, you can use fort or you can use enigma to teleport to bosses easier if you are having a hard time collecting organs.
Exile (royal base) swap for up'd hoz with a p diamond, kill speed increases significantly
Dungos or Tgods although the life is relatively the same from both of them, a 15%dr helps when you are getting smacked by lilith
Dwarf swap for 5%LL bk
Raven
Dracs
Goblin toe swap for gores, open wounds is quite valuable and so is the frw if you are not wearing engima.



make sure you have a 12% fhr pcomb or have 2x 5fhr scs to hit 48fhr bp, that helps quite a bit. rest of inventory should be 20L scs with random res to hit max res

when it comes to skills, convic aura needs to be level 21 to cancel out meph's level 20 aura. max smite, holy shield and fanta as well. I throw one point into zeal for crowd control while gathering orgs and after killing ubers to pick up torch easier.

you can also pop an antidote pot before andy and before meph to boost psn res to help you survive better.

hope these tips help.

No problem, those gear swaps will fix your problems.

Home dudes gear swaps are ok, but really only for the charms. Do not put all those points in conviction. Use salvation and it only needs one point. You could use ur remaining points for upping your max resists. Every 2 points in resist fire/lite/cold will up your max resists by 1.

Life leech doesn’t help on a smiter. Bk ring seems an odd choice. A rare ring with a ton of stats and resists would be far more helpful imo. Upped HoZ is kinda good but exile would be even better if you put it in the correct base. I’m a cheap-ass and use a 120@res sacred Rondache or sacred targe (4x p diamond)

Smiters aren’t good at clearing a ton of baddies. With zeal you can target multiple dudes but you still, sorta, only hit one at a time. I think your gear is fine. If you’re only using a smiter, I would argue that the mini Ubers are even harder than uber trist.

One thing I’ve done is keep morrowalks in my inventory and I’ll switch em on and off for my goblin toes. When you’ve got the boneweave boots on you can precast lifetap on a particularly nasty group of baddies (like those witches in matrons den or a boss pack of doom knights in furnace of pain). Once they’re lifetapped you can zeal/smite to clear the whole group with no problem and hopefully another group will rush you and you’ll proc a free lifetap. Always target and lock on to the dudes who are lifetapped.

Watch a video of someone doing uber trist before you go for it. I always kill Mephisto first. And there’s a trick to get baal on you where he won’t spawn a million wraith/spectres. These guys can get you stuck in a corner because of their mana burn and eventually kill you.

Trick: go to the bottom of the map (while no one is aggro’d on you). There are three ruined buildings at the bottom of the map. Take your pally and put his chest flat against the ruined building that’s in the middle of those bottom three. As soon as you do this he will spawn 1 or 2 minions on you and baal will teleport onto you. Smite him!

You’ve got this! You’ve got all the best gear! It’s just experience and confidence that you’re lacking. Good luck!

Sad tale: my buddy lost his level 99 hc offline mosaic sin in Uber trist 2 years ago this week. :angel: RIP SlapBerd!

Too long?

Sorry maybe I wasn’t clear, I know title is confusing. I haven’t even reached Ubers yet, I’m talking about the Organ bosses right now. Trying to farm to be able to do Ubers but I’m having a difficult time with that and doubt I’ll survive Ubers.

I am 75% mb. 45 res Royal shield. Only because I didn’t have vortex or St in 45base.

My res are only at 70 with this setup except for 80 lite or 90 with tgods. If I ditch the GFace and use Kira’s I’d be max res.

I’m not sure if that’s the problem though or not? I’m 70 in fire position and cold. I’ve tried chugging antidotes and thawing first as well and still seem to get destroyed against Lilith.


Lilith was always the hardest when I first started doing organs. Your gear and stats are good enough. Just practice clearing and maybe a bo and shout from barb could help if needed.
