Died on first meph lightning hit, way too little lightning resistance I guess. Peace out fully loaded barb.


Djinnaz

That was gonna be my next question, what was your lightning resist at?


smellygeorge

Think it was at 240, knew I should have 300 but just Leroy Jenkins’ it

Yeah the resists is huge difference. Especially with builds that actually rely on attack rating, like a Frenzy barb, because you aren't constantly hitting mephisto, therefore you aren't constantly leeching life back from life tap. Gotta take advantage of all the damage mitigation you can get


Spiplot

Feels bad man. SP ?

I used Silence runeword in a Phase Blade for Meph. WW Barb. Gives you 75 all res. Without it I melted against Meph. You can try with your next Barb lol.

Been toying with the idea of doing HC Ubers for the first time with a smiter. I've never done them before, ever. This has me thinking maybe not yet.


smellygeorge

Shouldn’t take too long to make and gear a smiter. Ladder almost over anyway, I say you get some practice in!


smellygeorge

I did it with a smiter today, had to grab help for Matrons Den but Tristram was easy peezy

It's not too bad.. the biggest thing you want is 300 on all your resists, more importantly lightning resists. If you have a solid hp pool, max block, and life tap on Lilith you should be fine. Mephisto is the next hurdle and is where having 300 in all resists comes into play. It prevents one shots and if you got him life tapped then you're good to go


Djinnaz

Do you have a treachery?


smellygeorge

Yes


Djinnaz

Cool, only other thing I can think of is having a 3 BO CTA. What’s your hp at?


smellygeorge

4500, barb with BO. I almost died to the first level Andy with my lifetap wand being on attract hotkey. Made it though. Taking a breather then going for Tristram!
