Solo Frenzy Barb for ubbers
Hello all,
I started playing diablo for the very first time 4 months ago (I'm a late comer to the series and the addiction is fresh). As a green horn i'll tell you right now that I don't know most of the acronyms in the game or rune words by heart. The only ones I have memorized are the ones I've used and the one I hear so much about (enigma).
Anywho, this is about tips on soloing ubber tristram with a frenzy barb
My gear is
arreats helm - i put a str gem in..cuz at the time i needed it
two grief pb's,
fortitude using sacred armor - it looks very cool if but has 232 str req
high lords amulet,
a frost raven (i read a guide that sed to use this ring),
manald ring, need the mana leech
gore riders (ppl tell me they're perfect gore riders?),
draculs glove,
ik belt, i need the strength
my attack rating is around 6.6k (which sucks i hear)
life after battle orders is around 3.7k
i don't know my stat distribution off the top of my head but most of it went to vitality (read a guide that sed to do it)
ubber diablo and ubber baal were fairly easy as I could takem both at the same time, so I'll discuss ubber meph as he seems to be the tricky one.
First thing about fighting him is that triggering life tap is an absolute must. Without you'll be chugging down potions and die fairly fast unless you've stocked up on rejuvs.
To trigger life tap, the easiest way to do it is to hit one of his minions that spawn near him as you have a very high chance of hitting them and there are several of them. That is I advocate allowing his minions to come at you and this is key to beating him.
Due to my crappy attack rating I have trouble landing blows on mephisto, but his minions are another story and are very easy to hit. They are the reason it's easy to trigger life tap and they are also the reason it's easy to get life back. Frenzy will hit two people if they are near you (is what i've noticed). So once life tap is triggered, the first blow can be on mephy which may or may not connect and the next blow is against a minion which is very very likely to connect filling up your life meter instantly (grief does alot of damage, half of it coming back through life tap is very useful).
Basically the idea is to just mash away at both him and his minions. Though if you miss a few attacks of frenzy back to back odds are you're going to die~
Another thing I noticed was that right clicking and holding down frenzy gives it less chance to hit than repeatedly right clicking on the target. Might just be my imagination but this is the behaviour i noticed.
with this method I've been able to bring meph down from full hp down to 50% hp before i missed a few frenzy swings and died. In another game where I had an hdin friend help me out, my friend died at the last 25% hp of mephy's life and i managed to finish him off just swinging like crazy.
Haven't gone the full 100% against mephy yet but I think a belt full of full rejuvs it might be possible.
