Bind a decent hf/amp hephasto in p8 then go to town, not much else to it, your gear is plenty fine.


so normally i go for might + amp, or fanat + amp.

but for ubers, holy freeze + amp is the better combo? Reduce your damage for the sake of slowing down the ubers?

Yes
Here is my current solo self found single player locks gear
I got lucky and got a lock torch first try
uber baal - make sure you position your bind demon summon in front of you so you dont get diced by the ice bolts
bind demon is super op man
i only use act 3 council cursed demon too, still op

anyways heres my lock gear
cv insight noneth
authority body armor
spirit mon
tal helm
junk belt/boots/gloves
+1 lock skills ammy
random rings
random resist charms
75 fcr breakpoint

killed meph first, then diablo, then baal

10-24k damage and 75 fcr on the char sheet

For Baal I just teleported right on him for the shotgun effect and with amp damage he just melted. I had a non eth CA insight and some blood rings for life steal otherwise similar gear to yours

Non eth cryptid ax? Prointeresting choice there . Usually I just go with the colossal bulge for my insights

To each her own I guess

I haven't tried it on early echoing strike, but it's certainly doable on late game echoing strike.

One other option I tried successfully is using mirrored blades and building it like a smiter. Crushing blow and open wounds do work on mirrored blades and you'll want life tap to survive in melee range. One of the mirrored blades strikes always hits like smite is my understanding.

I too learned something fighting him.
Uber baal has chilling armor and throws back with cold against ranged attacks. Since i never attacked him with a ranged char i never felt that pain. And echoing strike its ranged.


I was wondering why the hell i was taking that dmg

so no stacked resist beyond 75 in hell? so meph convic brought u down significantly and it didnt matter?

did you have cannot be frozen on? how important is that?

I feel like i am ready, but scared to try still cause i hate to fail in single player and waste all those keys.

So, do I have this right?

Skills:
Max Echoing Strike + synergies
Max Blood Oath + 1 in all other demon skills
1 Point into all Hex's (use the last one for lower enemy dmg + life/mana on kill)
1 Point into 1st Signal

Starter Gear is ok:
Don't need any life tap, ow, or cb since none of those work with ES
Don't need cannot be frozen?
Don't need prevent monster heal?
Just have a few +skills gear, 75 fcr, and 75@ (ok to not stack res beyond this even tho Meph has convic?)

Uber Tristrim Prep Work:
Have a P8 holy freeze/might/fanat + amp dmg Hefesto demon
Chug tons of thawing potions and antidoes (like 8 of each to get 4 minutes of bonus resists)
Add extra charms and gear for resistance, at expense of not needing any leech since it won’t work anyways - remove gheeds charm
Make sure I have full juvs, but also reg mana potions for baal's mana burn

Uber Tristrim Gameplan:
Run straight up and to the left and fight Meph on the far left side, away from other Ubers and portal. If I die, I need him to not have portal surrounded so I can get my body.
Kill Meph first on left side
Then run along bottom to the right side and fight Baal there
Kill Diablo last, in the middle
