Description

I was curious on some feedback from the community.

My primary character is a Tesladin (Dream paladin) and it is great for farming, but rather ineffective against ubers/ancients. I have been working on building out an Assassin Dual Mosaic
Phoenix Strike
with Chains of Honor. I got it pretty far along, but worry about being a bit to squishy. I can tell it is better than my tesladin when I am fighting for the organs to do the ubers, but wanted other people's thoughts?

Note: I won't do a
Smite
paladin because it wigs me out to have more than one of the same class. ADHD thing I guess...

Can be used to make Runewords:

Or just throw some
Smite
gear on your paladin when you're doing ubers.

Necro is my absolute fav for ubers. Even with cheap gear i find it to be safer & more reliable than with a comparably priced smiter. & U can actually run other things (cows, Chaos, any high-density areas with
Corpse Explosion
) which is what i always disliked about pure smiter

U can make it go a lot faster with urdar revives as well but i never liked the gameplay of depending on other monsters and having to reset the map to scout for them, bleh. So I make do just fine with skeletons & my merc, i made a video on the build I'm using currently Obviously massively improved with self-wield Beast & Enigma & sojs etc

sorry if i'm slow to respond here or on battle.net sometimes! you can always message me on discord @kerph for a quick response 😊

The obvious answer is ES Warlock. With 100k+ damage you won't even see the ancients.

Bad part is, it is hard to keep
Uber Madawc
alive last. He's already dead before you get a chance to seperate him from the others...

More like maddawg.

Can trade on PC and PlayStation.
Interested in runes, keys and statues.

If by some miracle you manage to build a Mosaic sin that doesn't roast ubers faster than they can pose any threat to you whatsoever, you can always just slot in drac's and call it a day.
Dragon Talon
hits so fast that you tend to proc it in no time reliably and once that hits, you're basically immortal so long as you don't get 1shot (which you really shouldn't).

The trick for (even easier) Mosaic ubers is simply to not have to
Charge
up inside
Tristram
. So open the uber portal next to either the waypoint or the town portal location,
Charge
up somewhere, take the wp back or tp back (whichever spot you picked for your uber portal), go in and immediately go nuts on the ubers fully charged. Properly geared you can just Smoke all 3 at once no questions asked. If not, dragonflight in for a quick
Charge
refresh and then run straight out to avoid getting zerged as meph follows you and gets isolated from the other 2. Then just pick them off 1 by 1 from there.

Same thing for ancients. Though those do hurt more if you don't overstack res so .. do that. Easy enough with
Fade
and whatnot.

Thgat is great advice. I didn't think to go in and out of the fight.

First answer is actually the very easiest way, as Pally is (one of ?) THE best class for Ubers, though building other classes is perfectly fine. Just put 1 point in
Smite
that you should already have to reach
Holy Shield
, have a swap gear (can be cheap : Black + G-Face + Drac's + Gore riders or Gob Toes should not be too expensive, the only part that is slightly more is probably getting a Hoz with
Um
+ Pre-buff with Treachery) and a few resistances charms and go. :)

I just have a very plain
Zeal
paladin that has no issue doing ubers and ancients with 1 point in
Smite
.
