I recently took 3x3 keys and killed all those minibosses but am worried my summoner won't have the damage for the Ubers themselves. What is a budget build that could take ubers down? I want to be able to get my own torches

All good! For a Uber specialized character on a budget would be, in my opinion, the budget smiter/poor man's smiter paladin. You can definitely build one up with a Vex rune and even much much less. There are other builds like the Zeal Sorceress (expensive) and Fury Druid (you can build one budget but it can be a little sketchy on the ubers). I'm sure there are a few others but for the best return on investment I would say smiter. Hope that answers your question.Seamus McNugget wrote: 3 years agoHi Xan,Xanhast wrote: 3 years ago Hey there. Do you need help killing Uber Tristram? If you do add me and I'll help you out for free.

I appreciate the offer, but I am hoping to clear it on my own. I have the three bits but didn't open trist yet since i was worried about being able to beat it. And i didn't necessarily mean summoner builds, i figured i would probably end up making a designated char for Uber Trist, but was wondering what i could build on my limited budget (i have terrible luck with runes, the highest that has ever dropped for me was Vex lol)
If it doesn't look too feasible, though, i may just take you up on your offer![]()
Hi Seamus, I'm in the process to make a try like yours... can you share more info about your summoner build?Seamus McNugget wrote: 3 years ago Hello all,

Kicksins are strong against ubers but not as budget friendly as smiters.Seamus McNugget wrote: 3 years ago I have also heard good things about kicksins, are they tough to build?
Certainly. It isn't really a pure summoner build but that is the easiest way to describe it and how i generally think of it. I max skellies, skelleton mastery, and one point in the whole tree to Summon Resist. one point in the curse tree to Decrepify and i maxed Bone Spear and Teeth. the rest of the points in skellie mages cause i like them, not cause they are good lol. i never liked the Revive spell. i know it is good, but i don't enjoy the playstyle of it.OrcozZio wrote: 3 years agoHi Seamus, I'm in the process to make a try like yours... can you share more info about your summoner build?Seamus McNugget wrote: 3 years ago Hello all,

I actually already have a lot of that gear. Why Thundergod's Vigor on the Belt instead of verdungo or something with res? just the lightning absorb? (honestly asking to learn, not being a smartass)Frac127 wrote: 3 years ago For the smitter it is pretty simple and very cheap. most expensive gear is probably the Dracul's Grasp that cost a Pull.
weapon: Black runeword (cheaper), or better Heaven's Light with 3 skills and 2 sockets with Shael.
head: guillaume face with ias/res jewel,
shield: a 4os Targe with 30 res and 4 Perfect Diamond (cheaper) or a cheap Herald Of Zakarum (better),
gloves: Dracul's Grasp,
shoes: Goblin Toe, or Gore Rider
Belt: Thundergod's Vigor,
rings: Raven Frost, Dwarf Star. Amu : cat's eye, highlord or mara depending on what you have and your budget.
weapon switch: Life Tap Wand bought from merchant and or Call To Arms + Spirit
armor: one Treachery to proc in flames before going and one Guardian Angel.
charms: all the res and life you can find
For skills you need 20 in Smite ( though 1 point is enough), 20 in holly shield, 20 in Defiance (optional but improves Holy Shield), and 20 in Fanaticism.
you get in Uber Tristram with Treachery, go in the flame, proc it, go back to town to heal and switch to Guardian Angel.
go back to Tristram, buff cta if you have it, switch to Life Tap Wand.
move slithgly south, agro mephi move a bit north and laife tap him. switch back to Smite/fanatism and Smite him to Death.
refuel pots if needed then proceed south to deal with diablo and ball if possible one at a time.
make sure to save game name and password in case you die so that you can leave and come back easily if you need several attempts.
I do not even have a dedicated smitter, just a hammerdin with 1 point in Smite and 1 in Fanaticism and it is still really easy, but with a better gear by now (only differences are Grief for weapon and Exile for the shield with mara and cta). Only case i fail is when i try to fight them all at the same time.
Really? I would have thought ubers would be harder than Lillith. She hit hard (chewed through my minions) but do you think i could probably take her with my build as is?mishabg wrote: 3 years ago To add to the posts above: Lightning res (or absorb, I suppose) is extremely important because Meph takes down your resistance by A LOT, and his lightning attacks are brutal. (Got one-shot by them often enough, before I started stacking the res).
Once Meph is down, Diablo/ Baal usually go down easy, because you have your resistance back up, and they don't do that much other than summoning minions.
They're much easier than Lilith. (though if you did Lilith on a summoner you might not know how hard she hits hah; She hits like a truck).
Meph is harder, but the other two are easy. Meph > Lilith >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Izual > Duriel > Baal > Diablo is how I'd rank them.Seamus McNugget wrote: 3 years ago Really?
