Re: Just solo'd Lilith..
OP - any luck in uber Trist?
of the mini-ubers, i'd say Lilith is the most difficult of the 3, but as you've found by now with the right equipment, definately beatable.
as for uber Trist, if you haven't reached there by now, if i can suggest a couple things having been there myself with a summoner necro - hopefully it'll save you some time and frustration.
- perm your game > 5 minutes and make sure there are plenty of urdar-class monsters available. look in River/Chaos Sanc (Urdars), Frigid highlands (Blunderbores), Palace levels, Durance. i usually revive urdars last, as they have a limited amount of time to live.
- raise your full army, prebuffed with all the +skills you can manage, then switch to your typical battle gear. you should have some kind of teleport, enigma would be great, tele charges on an amulet are OK. Naj's staff as a last resort as you probably won't want to switch weapons a whole lot when you get in there.
- when raising mages, select for more poison and cold. if you end up with fire and light, unsummon and resummon. poison will stop uber health regen, and cold will provide slowing effect.
- pile resists onto yourself and your merc, stack resists over max if you can, as Meph will cut that down pretty quick. when equipping merc, higher resists > damage reduction.
- lots of crushing blow on the merc. i use Guillaumes and obedience (cheap and very effective). infinity if you can afford it, as it would also help your mages.
- hotkey decrep (you probably already have done that) and terror.
- when you get into uber Trist, go slow and walk your way around to get your bearings.
- only one boss at a time.
- when you find and isolate the bosses, do your usual decrep and telestomp with your entire army. walk away slowly, and keep casting decrep. terror away minions. wash, rinse, repeat.
the following is optional:
- ID 20/20 ptorch.
- sell for HRs.
- gib! =)
nothing worse than blowing an org set and game dropping and not permed. also, it's possible to defeat uber Trist without urdars, but 15 of them sure makes life easier in there.
good luck!
