as someone interested in this exact question, i got a few other questions:

do they have any auras like for example uber mephi conviction that i gotta look out for, or any other stuff thats unexpected?

also, how hard are they compared to uber tristram, i heard they got buffed, but i never did them cause i didnt play last season, nor did i try them yet this season (cause my smiter is missing some gear in single player) i did get a torch and it was not that big of a problem.
is phys dmg reduction % important or do they do alot of elemental dmg aswell?

Main idea is to get all resists to 95 then overstack by 100 all resists

Each ancient has their own “conviction” aura, doing -100 of their element

They are easier than ubers if you know what to do.

Looks great just make sure res is 275 because hell and ancients do -200. They will tickle you.
