Tonight was the night. Went in with my brother's summoner necro to fight the colossal ancients for the first time. We had enough statues for two rounds. First round was a bit of a dookie show. My cursed/cold immune/fire immune/mana burn (ugg) P8 unique urdar with Holy Freeze went in with me. Necro died a lot and had to go out for more revives for each ancient we killed. My urdar nearly died several times, especially against Madawc who was the one we wanted to kill last. We killed all three with only several necro deaths, mostly in attempts to regain bodies. Lightning jewel, bad roll.
Next game, Urdar did a bit better. BTW, we littered the Ground with full rejuvs. I'll be spending the next few days restocking. Korlic down, Talic down, and I had kited Madawc up to the top where he patiently waited. What's that about cliffs you say? Well, you know how when you kill ghosts in The Arcane Sanctuary over the Void and they drop nothing? Well, my brother put Madawc in a Bone Wall prison smashed to the Edge of the map, and when he died, he dropped nothing, no jewel, not accidentally picked up (he was sitting right here, I saw his inventory). Nada.
So, PSA, don't kill your last ancient on the very Edge of the map. Now to find more statues...

Can be used to make Runewords:
If you play online and this happens you can try the following:

What i did was exit my game, and then rejoin the same game. (i created my own private game)
I was able to reactivate the ancient fight again and jewel did drop on the second fight.
They haven't fixed this yet?? Wow 
Unrelated but I can give you some rejuvs if you need btw. (also. Now that i've tried it, i really recommend cold/lightning immune Bind Demon with Flickering Flame for ancients if u can afford it)

Thanks, that's good to know!
Although at that point we had cleared all maps of Urdar for revives, so there wasn't much fuel left for the necro. I don't think I could solo them.

I have plenty of Full Rejuvs to spare, if needed drop me a note (Non-Ladder).
Thanks, that's so nice! I'll be okay though. Still plenty of rejuvs, and I'll just terrorize a game and be back up to full stacks. Time to work on chronicle anyway!wulfen777 wrote: 1 month agoI have plenty of Full Rejuvs to spare, if needed drop me a note (Non-Ladder).
I will be hunting down a cursed/ lightning enchanted one soon. I had a series of unfortunate demon losses, mostly due to silly mistakes, and ended up with the one I have now as a quick-ish solution for our ancient runs. He did well, but I did have to port out and heal in town a few times. No way to Engorge in ancients. While the necro was able to cast Life Tap, though, it worked wonders. Talic went down fast after one Life Tap and then a Cursed proc.kerph wrote: 1 month agoThey haven't fixed this yet?? Wow

That lightning hurts, though. I was good for fire (Rising Sun ammy) and cold (dual ravens), so if anything I was healing except when adds would Whirlwind me. Need to get a Thundergods.
How does Smiter work against Uber Ancients? Any experience here?
None! Although I understand they are ideally suited for ancients, at least from a melee class pov.
I only do warlock. I played the other classes in the early days and came back for the lock. Initially it was so I could make Lister my little minion (take that, Baal!), but now I love running Urdar or Lancers, the katter being my favorite for map clearing and the former for ubers.
As long as you have +280 all res (Treachery + charms most), with Guardian Angel and Dracul's Grasp, you are more than ready. For cold res, you can take many Thawing Potion like 10 to boost cold res and max. That's about it. Now you can face rolling them all together.
Edit:
This is not a smiter build at all, it's FOH build with one point in Smite.
I'm not sure what is your build, but if you have any Hex on you (especially Syphon) try to apply it on ancient.
Works for my fire lock when fighting tough Heralds. Since summoner Warlock have nothing else to do, can reapply it constantly.

I have not tried this skill before. Does it heal the demon? I understand it heals with kill. Does the demon get the benefit? What if the kill comes from a defiler link? Thanks for the idea!dionisy_cn wrote: 1 month agoI'm not sure what is your build, but if you have any Hex on you (especially Syphon) try to apply it on ancient.

Instead of Urdar revives you could try Hell Bovine. That worked me against Diablo Clone like a charm.
I don't have RotW expansion yet.
When I look for rune, you can offer Perfect Gems as well.
I live in Europe/Budapest timezone.
For my free stuff I appreciate if you give me Perfect Gems, but it is optional.

I'll pass that along! Also great place to pick up revives quickly.bbb0 wrote: 1 month agoInstead of Urdar revives you could try Hell Bovine. That worked me against Diablo Clone like a charm.
it will not heal your demon. Syphon heals you when you kill stuff with Boil or your other skills.FerociousTerrier wrote: 1 month agoI have not tried this skill before. Does it heal the demon?

If Hex applied to monster by your weapon, it reduces Hexed monster defense (Bane) or damage Hexed monster deals to everything(Syphon)
Just get Dagger with skill and it stays on you after you casted it.
I'm not sure what is its mechanic, but with 1 point in ES , not much of AR on fire Warlock Hex is applied to monsters /bosses always on first hit.
Buff with Treachery, standard smiter build, I use wisp for lightning absorb. Smother can solo ancient without problem.
Will have to give it a try then, have to sets of statues waiting and am in dire need of a new fire and a new lightning jewel.
