This time, I decided to go with Enigma for body armour in order to Teleport away, should the screen load lag occur again. Well, of course it did happen again (
Uber Meph basically blew up both my Merc and my Defiler almost instantly but myself and my Fana-Cursed Extra Strong Extra Fast Stone Skin (hence immune to physical) Hephasto were more fortunate. In fact I dont think my Heph minion ever got below ~80% life throughout the entire course of this endeavor.
Used a few purple pots on Uber Meph, more than I would've using my FoH Smiter with Life Tap, but probably only 4 or 5 which is neither here nor there in the grand scheme of things. The decision not to use Life Tap at all (nor for any of the mini Ubers) is because my thinking was what's the point if it gets overwritten by Amp Dmg from my minion. So, yeah, I did use more pots because of it, but my Mirrored Blades warlock nonetheless shredded through Uber Meph's life pool possibly quicker than any Smiter I've ever used, but it's hard to say without busting out a stopwatch (which i didn't, lol). Uber Diablo+ Baal and all the other mini Ubers also got mowed down.
Gear i used:
Hellwardens will w/ Ral to fill in some missing fire res
1/20 Caster Amulet w/ some all res
Enigma Archon Plate
Upped and Shael'd Ribcracker
Spirit Monarch w/ perfect FCR
Dwarf Star + rare ring with all res & FCR
Upgraded Death's Hand + Guard combo
Gore Rider
Bunch of res charms to get uncapped res to 300 including Treachery Fade proc
Used Prayer/Insight/Cure merc (not that he did much good in Uber Trist)
Hephasto the Armorer w/ Stone Skin (hence immune to physical) Fana+Cursed, Extra Fast & Extra Strong. Obtained from P8 Hell TZ. Again, don't think I've seen this guy get below about 80-85% of his health ever.
Now I guess the next thing I haven't done that comes to mind is Colossal Ancients, so wish me luck there.
