Uber Ancients post 3.2

Woah.. anyone else tried fetching a Stone from the ancients this morning? My Frenzybarb got his ass handed to him right as he went through the portal.
Especially Talics Whilrwind and Fire Twisters are hitting hard. I usually farm TZ Trav, sometimes on P7-8 without coming close to die otherwise..

what gear are you running?

my barb has about 4.5k hp and max res. I haven't tried yet but good to know.

Enigma/Duress, 2XGrief, Arreats with P.Stone, Act5 merc with Fortitude, and dual Last Wish.

About 4,3K hp and

Life Tap procs all the time.

When

Talic uses both of his spells simultaniously only rejuvs can save ya..

Did u manage to kill them? Did u have to make any gear changes?

I did, i teleported away when

Talic made his WW and waited for som new barbarians to spawn to have more life tapped enemies to hit on.

Don't get me wrong here, its supposed to be hard. But when a lifepool of over 4k vaporizes, ppl will have a har time on the summit.

Talics Blizzard hits hard aswell.

think

Dwarf Star would help against

Talic fire dmge?

There was a post on reddit that said that Colossal ancients now are harder than ubers. And most chars that could handle them are out of luck now. Damage buff is huge.

cold fissure: 621-649 -> 2058-2968
fire twisters: 405.5-407.5 -> 2788-4028
thunderstorm: 121-220 -> 378-538

Sucks for hardcore players.
You will need to completely re-gear yourself for them on some builds. And they got the same treatment as ubers in the way that they are now unaffected by prevent monster heal, so previous builds now struggle to outdamage their healing. Also means your merc will be dying super quickly now as they now have a buff to damage to henchmen.

Yeah, I'll go for some fire absorb next time. At least it will give me some extra time to pop a rejuv.

Considering this buff, i really think we'll se prices on jewels go up from here on. Even though statues are esier to come by now.
