Check for late SF Ubersmiter HC
So this will be the topic one million +1 about Ubersmiter, all right.
I kept a very slow pace this ladder, playing mostly selffound and multibox with a bobarb to last longer in HC. Days before reset, finally leveled up a pala (94) and got a sunder for my sorc so she could start farming fast for me.
As far as for now, I've looted the following which I consider to bring to the fight:
-Highlords Amu. Also Metalgrid and 2/10 without resis. Highlords I guess? Not sure If ias matters except if I swap fana for conviction for meph.
-Guillaumes. No Um to socket sadly (traded my only one away for stuff that resulted much more common than that rune), but at least a 13@ jewel.
-Guardian Angel. Again, no currency to up it. Also good question what to socket it with.
-Azurwrath. Always liked this one and it dropped with max aura, rest of stats ok. Also I could make Black, with more CB, but less safe I suppose. A Lo didn't drop sadly (and if it did, I would use it for my first Phoenix gladly). Socket?
-Zaka. No pul to up it, but guess this is where it might be worth to cube all my lower runes for. More damage means more speed (even having minimum defense roll) Socket would be Diamond, this one's easy. I also have a sacred rondache Spirit 41@ and even a ST 45@, but both smite damage is weaker and zaka stats for smite seems better. If anything, I could use the ST to make Exile. I know it's more ideal for Spirit, but no way I find a good ether base in time (is eth really so much better? Does it like increase shield damage like a weapon?), although I hope for it, since the life tap alone would solve the problem I have with the next slot:
-Gloves. Yeah, no Draculs, this sucks. So, guess I use bloodgloves with 20 ias and 9 CB. LoH ED doesn't proc with smite, as I remember. And I'm in need of CB.
-Belt is the only I can choose from nice ones. Thundergods for meph, If GA doesn't make it obsolete, or the Wisp Ring. Can also choose between Verdungos with 13 DR and nice vitality or a perfect String of Ears 15/15, although I don't know if the MDR does something in this fight.
Rings also set, Raven and Dwarf, although I could switch Dwarf for my Wisp if only just for Meph.
-Boots should be Gores or even preferably Goblins for lack of CB. But I must seriously consider Marrowwalks for the LT. Using a wand and running out is risky in HC. Or as said, invest in Exile.
-Fade precast
-Resi charms, skillers or lifers? If I use conviction (which level was it?) I might not need to overstack. Combat skillers and offensive auras got 3 total.
As for skillpoints, well, I might try the conviction thing. How much las needed to be efficient against Meph ? I died once trying to facetank with stacked resis (It was 125 additional resis for cap right?). I guess with Azurwrath ias is no big deal.
Extrapoints into defiance, I guess? And points in elemental max resistances still useful?
I know, no big deal if I die few days before reset, lol. Even so.
Thanks for input!
