As others have said you need more levels. Having done it with a

Frenzy barb (lvl 92) years ago in d2, i thought it was easy with the right gear.
My lvl 84 Smiter had no trouble (as hit chance is 100%).
But my level 86 barb in d2r, with very similar gear to you, couldn't touch

Baal, I could literally swing for 15 minutes and he would just heal, even with

Gore Rider for open wounds.
Meph and Diablo were easy, but you need a much higher chance to hit for

Baal. I would suggest you get to 90.
Also get a pre buff Treachery if you haven't already.

Lol i was talking about regular

Baal..... Kind of a disappointment.. Anyways he's now level 85 and im planning to get hjim to at least 90 so he shuold be fine

As said and as others also mentioned, I would highly recommend that.
Btw, I also do not rely on my merc, but if you kill

Mephisto and Diablo first you can

Revive him and against

Baal he should stand a chance if he has some good gear (you can check my DClone/Uber setup here: https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/4g8kr05e#2). Anyway, having his

Conviction even for some time at the beginning of the fight can be very helpful.

I have sort of a budget merc, he has Infinity in a regular non-

Eth

Thresher( a mistake i made when i just started out),

Tal Rasha's headpiece, and

Eth Fortitude in a

Balrog Skin. Should be close enough, ill see how long he survives

Update:

I got my

3x3 Keyset just now and did my first uber run with this

Frenzy barb.

He is level 86, and he did pretty well, clearing

Über Izual,

Über Duriel and

Lilith very easily, and even

Uber Mephisto and diablo.


The real issue came when i went to do

Baal because he summoned a crap ton of physical immune monsters, and some of those floating ghost things. They leeched my mana and eventually i just had to take them down one by one with

Berserk.

Everything was going pretty well with

Uber Baal and he had literally, im not joking, the tiniest sliver of hp but after that, somehow i wasn't hitting him and he started healing. shortly after, my

Life Tap ran out and didn't proc again, and... I died.

I tried a few more times with the same results, surprisingly. Does anyone know if his defense skyrockets when he's low hp or something? I was so close to killing him but he just keeps healing.

In the end i needed my assassin(once again) to finish the job.

But hey, I do get the achievement of beating all the uber bosses(other than

Baal) without using any full rejuvenation potions!

Uber Baal has

Chilling Armor Level 37 which will increase his defend by +225% pushing defense from 3150 to 10237 with a 6 min duration.

He maybe used this so you struggled to hit him.

What's your AR ?

Edit :

If you had 8K AR with a lvl 86 char, you have 38.4% of chance to hit him with

Chilling Armor effect.

Uber Baal is also blocking 55% of you hits.
So, that's only 25% of your attacks that may hit him.

It may also be your

Enchant ended.

2 problems: I don't have

Enchant and i only have 6.3k attack rating.....

But hey, i got open wounds!!!

You can use Obedience to get

Enchant
(I use on swap with my Fury Druid)

Ah, that's right. WIll do for my next uber run

Enchant is mandatory.

Demon Limb is the easiest way to prebuff with it.

6K is way to low. 10 max dmg 50 AR grand charm could boost it at a low cost.

Hi, I dont read all and hope my message wont be too repetitive.
I got a

Frenzy Barb who can solo the Uber.

With not a too much expensive gear.

For weapon Grief and Lawbringer
Armor Duress
Helmet Areat Face
Glove IoH

Boots Gorekiller
Amu Highlord Wrath

Raven Frost ring and a life and mane leech

The most important is to have the weapon who cast

Enchant level 23 with

Demon Limb. And to proc the buff with Treachery runeword.

With that you will have enough Attack rating and resist to kill

Mephisto quick by drinking few Rejenerative Potion.

Dispacth them and kill them one by one. Keeping Meph for the last.

MMmmhh, most guides say

Mephisto first if you can lure him by the top side of

Uber Tristram. In any case, alone.
