How do I increase my kicking damage?
So yesternight I finally fought the Ubers for the first time with my level 83 sin. I brought along a Javazon. We encountered Mephisto first and wasted him quickly whle the zon wasted minions. Then we found Baal and that's where things went...badly. I get Baal down to the last sliver of life and then we couldn't finish him off! Between the quad-immune Balrogs that the Javazon couldn't hurt, Baal's attacks and teleportation and duplicate, we were just worn down and our potions ran out.
Eventually after the zon dying many ties we decided to bring in his Summon-mancer instead. His his skellies distracting most of the minions and him using Decrepfiy on Baal to slow down his teleporting and to lower his physical resists, we finally downed Baal. I thought not having life tap would be the end of me, but i had enough life leech and potions to power through it. Lastly, he couldn't help with Diablo since his minions got all tied up with other minions, and he couldn't get close at all, so I just ran in and tanked Big D without a sweat even with 3 Balrogs on me.
My experience tells me I can't solo Uber Tristram yet. I'm thinking that my 9k AR is a problem, but perhaps it is also the damage I can do outside of crushing blow? I rely mostly on crushing blow with my kicker, having 98% of it. When it gets down to that last sliver I just have so much trouble. I'm using Shadow Dancers and a Last Wish PB with Stormshield. What can I do to increase my damage?
