C Squad's 1.11 Uber Quest Guide

Personally, I think 3 characters can easily take down the 3 brothers without uber-godly gear.

First, a zealot using fanaticism with maxed resists and plenty of leech.

Second, another zealot using salvation, with maxed resists and plenty of leech.

Third, a Barb with a nice BO, good resists and leech.

I feel hammerdins are worthless, even to clear the summoned minions, because hammerdins die quickly with no leech... unless you have a huge supply of juvs.

Just a thought... not the absolute end-all...but hopefully worth trying.

You'll need at least one char around your zealot to take out the minions.
I don't say you can't manage to kill them, but you won't be able to do much dmg to the Tristram Ubers when you hit like 4 minions and one time an Uber. He will regenerate more life than you can take away with just one hit.
Imo, use the following chars, if you don't like to spend 20 minutes of slashing and xxxxxx $ to repair your weap :p :
Zealot with lots of CB, DS, life-tap and ofc PMH (Draculs, Exile, Last Wish) to kill the ubers.
Hammerdin/WW-barb to takeout the minions.
Necro to cast life-tap all the time (my friend used his poison necro with some added point into life-tap, really good combination!)

Btw: infinity mercs ... forget about it, they will die within two seconds, far too expensive!
 
Barb with good crushing/deadly, draculs for tap, and some poison/open wounds works wonders if you have the resists and HP to take the hits. You'll need a few full juvies unless you get lucky with the life tap. Basically, you split them up and use the same strat for each. Conc until life tap triggers, then ww through them like a madman. With the exception of baal's minions (phys immune), you should stay at FULL HP the entire time and they will drop like flies. Be sure to have 12k+ AR and a decent level (85+?) so you actually can hit them. I tried going with angelic set to pump me up to 25k AR, but it raised my tohit about 4% when compared to my normal 15k AR. Not worth it.
 
I was kinda hopin that at least "The Three" would be bigger. I see they just put them in a new locale. It would have been great if they made Tristam all dark and spooky with lots of lightnin flashes and made them so big they filled almost the whole screen. Would even be cool if that you could only see the bottom 2/3rds of them!

Oh well.
 
That's too bad. Why wouldn't Blizzard make it for single player also? I mean, it couldn't have been to hard to do.

Oh well. I didn't want all that neat new stuff anyway :(

If you had an internet connection to download the patch why not just play online...?
 
From what I understand I can't transfer my single player character to BattleNet, and I don't want to give up on my level 88 paladin.

Just start playing online tomorrow. You'll be on the same playing field as everyone else and with 8 people in each game you'll level up a lot faster and easily remake your char.

Great, 8 of the worthless thing, figures.

This is one thing the guys that went and made GW got right. Of course, nothing that drops in GW is really any better than anything else. So here I am playing D2 again.

Just one more uber item I'll never get.


The guys who made GW made alot more right than that. For instance, I can make any character I like and make it work to do whatever is needed. Instead, with this patch I might as well throw away all my non-cookie cutter build characters and only play as, what, two or three types of characters with about 7 other people playing those same characters, in order to do the quests? Thanks alot Blizzard.

Excellent posts with the info though, it'll sure help me alot when i'm not killing any of the uber guys with any of the 16 characters I have at high levels.
 
thx for the guide. ill make a smite /zeal pally sometime soon...hopefully...My friend and i have done multiple key portals...fought duriel 2x, lilith 3x, and izzy 3x on nonladder. each of us HAD a full set of body parts. we took down izzy with 2 hammerdins with mercs. same for duriel. lilith we took with his bone necro (spamming bone walls constently) and my fairly godly orb sorc. static her till half life then back off. i tried orbing close range and didnt do well. idk if this way is the fastest or best but its the best we could do with the available chars. we opened up his tristram portal with our hammerdins and got swarmed alot by the minions. we each died alot. we decided to seperate diablo off first and just started hammering. we got him real low life and then he would die usually/ run out of pots. we finally killed him then moved on to baal. same thing would happen but we would just run out of mana alot. we both had to leave and no one could save our game so we had to let it go....im giving him my extra two parts and along with his one part we might try again sometime after we make more affective chars. wish i could get on now...comp is having MAJOR problems. cant get windows to even load on a year old comp (we've done multiple system reset things and it still doesnt work...says its missing some file thingy)...this comp cant run diablo at all because of video problems (already tried getting newer drivers and all)
 
me and a friend tried it and it was hell hard
after iv killed baal with me smiter the ladder reset and we got disconnected

just bad luck i guess

i got people from diabloii <3

and, it is easy to lure them away from each other. Skelemancers are almost worthless against meph, they die in 2 seconds, and hammerdins easilly get killed. I dont know what to say as a strategy, just have 8 people and lots of pots.

i dont know mine did quite well v mep with a sorc helping to kill all there summens the necro revives them smites aura makeing scelly go nuts sworms meph he cant use his elemental attack smiter go's 4 the k.o. worked well pre ladder 3 with right gear uber smiter can kill all solo
 
i need hammerdin tips...

i just started playing again... and i was wondering what skills should i use making a hammerdin... i kno i need max hammers... the thigns that give it bonus's, holy shield, but i dont know which aura i should use with it... anyone have suggestions?

In your opinon would a beast / grief ww barb with drac's do any good against the uber 3? or just use grief with stormshield?

I am using a beast/botd barb using frenzy and solo the ubers. So beast/grief will work jsut the same, maybe better

Remember: lifetap isn't triggered using ww
 
I've got a lvl 87 Barb with 31 BO, I've never seen this "Uber" stuff before and would like to help. I am on almost every night after 7. Wisper *reneirwolf878 if you would like me to help.
