Post patch ancients

So pre patch my paladin could do

Colossal Summit without Treachery buff, and one time I even forgot to equip any armor at all. Post patch I was getting instakilled by the fire

Whirlwind.

But I've discovered a new tech. It's cheap and makes colossals easy to do again.

The trick is

Guardian Angel. I upgraded it with the cube, and socketed it with an

Um. With the rest of my gear and charms I make sure I have 290 resist all. Even with the summit debuff I have 90 resist all. While my

Smite dps does take a hit from lacking Fortitude, 90 resist is more than twice as effective as 75. (And I actually have over 90 because of paladin aura passive.

Other gear I added for this is

Dwarf Star, thundergods, and ravenfrost which I always have on.

Paladin is level 88 with a single point in

Smite

Thanks for letting us know, will try out.

I forgot to proc

Fade it was fine but I had to kill

Yeah normally I have overstacked resists with

Fade (mainly fire and lightning, with fire at 81 and light at 95 from gear/skills). With

Fade proc it wasn't too bad, but I could tell I was getting hit pretty hard still. Without

Fade, man, they were taking 2/3 of my HP at a time and eventually I just got hit by too many things at once.

I saw somebody claim that the total damage of fire tornadoes from

Uber Talic is 10k, so if you happen to be so close to eat most of them without fire resistance maxed, it might one-shot you.

Edit:
Fire res should be overcapped to 280+.

Before this current gear set up, I was dying instantly when trying to recover my body. As in, before I could even load the level when taking the portal
