can caster sorcerer solo uber tristram

I am trying to solo UT with a caster sorc. Most say that it is impossible, but i think it can be done. Do anyone know of one that have done it? and if yes how?
I know only of Dreamofwinter that has done it with his ligning-melee/fire sorc, but has anybody ever done it with a caster sorc?
 
Re: can caster sorcerer solo uber tristram

Man these forums are so inactive anyways, I only leached in ubers once but from what my friend saids only pallys and necros can actually go against the bosses because of physical damage, I guess barbs can do it to but not as well as a hammerdin and such. Mostly because the bosses are immune to everything except physical damage.
 
Re: can caster sorcerer solo uber tristram

id love to see it done, but its unlikely, main reason is, mephs conviction will cancel out infinity, making meph basically immune, and you totally vulnerable. But on my nl avenger, i would run ubers with a fireball sorc and a summonancer, with level 27 conviction it makes mephy flammable

Use the search function. There was a video posted on these forums about a Light sork with infinity soloing Uber Tristram.
 
Re: can caster sorcerer solo uber tristram

Bosses are not immune. I think you can hurt them but...
There is a lot of immune minions with a lot of physical and elmental damage. Only way to survive in Tristram is huge life leaching. Ubers have low drain effectivenes so you can leach only with life tap. Life tap works good with melee damage only so even hammeridin cannot kill them solo. Hammers can do Tristram if he use smite vs ubers.
I think that video was made with item editor game - I'm not sure ofc.

Angelbound - IMO best uber killer is frenzy barb, second smiter (he kill even faster but die quite often), last fishymancer (he needs many revieved Udars or another monster with CB), he is cheapest (only enigma is a must) but kill ubers very slow.
I never tried but I think that fury druid can do it either.
 
Re: can caster sorcerer solo uber tristram

Hmmm interesting I think ill make a fury druid to run ubers if I can, im not really interested in that kind of pally and barbs are only fun for a short while for me anyways, and summoners in d2 nah kind of boring in my opinion.

Thanks for the confirmation on this though.
 
Re: can caster sorcerer solo uber tristram

Assassins and zons can also do it. Everyone can do it, it's just a matter of how good your gear has to be and how long you want it to take. Smiters get my vote for efficiency, and they can do it with really cheap gear too. Search the internet for "grimborn the poorman amazon basin".
 
Re: can caster sorcerer solo uber tristram

How about javazons? Not into bow but id much prefer a ranged character for ubers.

"Everyone can do it, it's just a matter of how good your gear has to be and how long you want it to take"

Yes the other classes can do it in some variation if the gear and skills are correct. But sorc is doubtfull because they can not life leach as a caster and because of the imunities/resistances. Thats why i want to do it as a sorc, ánd thats why i posted this.

"Use the search function. There was a video posted on these forums about a Light sork with infinity soloing Uber Tristram."

If she was a pure lightning its a fake. You can not kill Mephisto with lightning, thats one of the problems that you have to have two attacks and also defence enough to stay alive. There ar several fake videos out there where a sorc is using tal rasha or something similar useless and the ubers beeing very passive.
If you are refering to the player called Dreamofwinther, that one is real. He did it as partial melee sorc, but i am still trying to find out if somone has done it as pure caster and how.
 
Re: can caster sorcerer solo uber tristram

Ref. caster efficiency vs Ubers. I hunted organs with bone necro. I used revieves from wand, but they were usefull not for killing (most often used ghosts from Horazon sanctuary) but I need them to keep boss in place and safe my merc whith insight.
Izual was piece of cake, Duriel was harder and some times ghosts died before him, Lilith was impossible. I always must finish her with smiter.
I know that good sorc damage is 10 times higher then bone spear, but sorc has no minion and can't cast spells all the time. She must move, escape etc. when ubers replenish theirs life.
 
Re: can caster sorcerer solo uber tristram

My sorc can kill duriel, izual and lilith without revives, but I admit lilith is hard without revives. The trick for a sorcerer here is, that contrary to normal situaitons, the sorc has to take the dammage versus the 3 first ubers. if Lilith goes for my merc he dies in few seconds, against the two others he can survive longer time, but will still die before them, and once he is dead I will have to start over. But I cant do UT with the same method. There are too many minions for my merc to survive, even if i try to take the dammage from the uber, so here I also have to use revives to hold ubers in their place and to make sure my merc is hit less often so he can survive.
It is true that sorcerers often have to run around to avoid attacks, especially in UT, but I dont have to do that, since I am using energy shield and confusion, and thats enough to survive, standing in one place or at least moving very little. But my problem is that this setup with revives, confusion and energy shield, is pretty hard to combine with two attacks that give enough dammage to take the ubers down. I have however, recieved some help from another post here, and I do think, I might have the correct setup now. I will try next time january 5. or 6. (since I am on vacation), and will write back wether or not i succeded.

Do you mind finding this for me? I searched but I couldn't find.

Not at the moment. Google it if you have to.

Sorceress soloing uber tristram.

I know it's been done.

I do know that melee sorceresses are able to.. but an infinity holding (is that what you meant?) sorceress being able to seems weird.



 
Re: can caster sorcerer solo uber tristram

I have taken a break so i havent tried the new setup enough to see if it works.
I have found the video you talked about.

However i think its fake. She kills baal without a merc. i dont think you can overcome the 16000 regeneration pr second, and you cant stop it without melee. also she then dont have infinity, so she does less dammage. Against mephisto I also have strong doubts that a merc can survive alone without revives to take some of the dammage.
