How did U kill Uber's solo?

[alien_hunta]

My smiter has 1.8k (character screen damage, using grief) with fanta : /
I've solo'd Uber Trist 3 times now with it, so I'm sure you do just fine.

I had a smiter with LVL20 concentration aura but with beast (fana). LVL20 smite, and holyshield. I cast life tap from marrowalks initially and let the dracs do its ctc. I use salvation againts mephisto's conviction. My build was very cheap item wise ( i dont have to trade alot of shit) and stat wise (didnt waste points on str). had a 40str beast, 15 ias guil. mask (For cb), highlords, pdiamond' hoz, coh, dungos, 17str marrow, dracs, soj and raven frost. had 2 off gcs and a couple of resist/str charms. had anni too. It does almost 2k with fana and concentration aura. It should at least do 4k with coh's 200% damage to demons, but im not sure if it applies to smite. My problem on my build is ias and repair costs.'

Edit: WHY THE HELL IS THIS THREAD IN THE HACKS AND DUPES SECTION???

Hey someone earlier asked why to level conviction, because it does't help smiters. Well to answer why it helps, if you have a higher conviction aura than meph, you literally cancel his out, its weird. My friend made an avenger i believe, and he doesnt take any damage. For a smiter I would have to say don't get conviction, even though it helps greatly, not worth to sacrafice your other, more helpful skills.

Yeah I heard the same thing too but I didn't know if it was true or not, so that's why when me and a friend do trist one of us uses Fant and another Salvation. But if the conviction thing you said works i'll give that try. That is if my conviction is higher than his..

Why don't you post a pic of what ur gear is so we can get a idea?

If you read the build's for Smiter on this site it will explain a bit about "invisible" damage increases. Apparently, the only damage increase smiter's recieve from a weapon are "Adds (x) damage". Don't confuse this with "Adds (x) to (x+y) damage", which for the algebra challenged would be adds 1-4 damage.

Grief is the largest single digit damage add-on, and that number, although not reflected when you press the "a" key for statistics, is actually added into the equation before any other multipliers.

Por ejemple; you don't have a grief, but skiller weapon: Your shield starts at base like 40-57 damage, holy shield adds 100 damage, fanatacism multiplies that by 350%.

(i'm making all these numbers up, don't bother grilling me over incorrect math.)

You have a Grief runeword: Shield base starts at 40-57, Grief adds 400 damage. (bam!) 457 base damage, now add multipliers... you can see this is easily going to put your old damage to shame.

(edit) if he posted a picture of his gear he would need to place a cursor over every item and host 10 pictures on that imageshack link site and you would have to reference every one... if you want an idea, go to one of those cheesy sale sites and just look at the posted pictures there, save the poor guy some time.

I just want to see a pic of a good greif.

Anyway's, I took out the Uber's with my zealer. It was pretty easy.

However, I can see how smite is probaly the better, as he targets only one monster.

Zeal tends to attack all the summons, expecially irritating with Diablo's Venom lord things. But I beleive Diablo was also the second easiest to kill, after Mephisto.

I was amazed, zeal only shows 7k but with a clear shot on meph managed to take about ! ! life fom mephy each zeal.

I acidently activated Baals Minions, slowing the killing of meph a little.

I also wonder why Blizz made Baal such a loser again. I wanted to see him have some power, not just be some sort of super godly necrosummoner.
