The 1pt smiter guide to Uber Tristram v 1.0.

I don't think Astreon and Heaven's Light reach 6 fps smite.
2x Shael is the Heaven's Light or Shael in Astreon's and maxed out Fanaticism.
 
Ah, you're right about Heaven's light, but even with a shael in astreon, it only has 30 ias and -10 base weapons need 35 ias with fana to reach 6 fps smite.

15 IAS jewel in Guillaume's Face and Highlords can be used, as can many other combinations.
 
would the "black" (thul io nef) runeword be a viable weapon for this build?

Slvl 4 Corpse Explosion (12 Charges)
40% Chance of Crushing Blow
Magic Damage Reduced by 2
+120% Enhanced Damage
Adds 3-14 Cold Damage
+200 to Attack Rating
+10 to Vitality
+15% Increased Attack Speed
Knockback

ima bit worried about the dmg but will the big cb bonus cover that up? also it is amazingly cheap.
 
No it won't be a good weapon.The only real qualities are its low price and crushing blow,but that you can eaily get from gear. It has way too low damage and knockback which makes it unsuitable for zeal,while it offers no +damage or skills to help your smite.
 
as my new beginning of D2 I have now reached the point with my sorc I can start thinking about something else. Clearly the second most common cookiecutter comes into my mind ^^
I dont want to go with the poor stuff and I actaully have one asteron`s sitting useless so why not make use of it?

I was just wondering what is the level when you are ready to challenge the prime ubers?

Another Question that worries me is the collecting of the keys/organs how to aquire them? (sorry if it goes Ot)
 
Key hunt isn't ot for sure. Since you have a sorc,farming countess/summoner should be easy. As for nihlathak,this build is very good and fast at dealing with him. And yes astreon's is a quite good weapon option. I first took on ubers at level 79 ,but I guess lvl 76 is just fine (dracul's are available there).

your right the knockback and low dmg would be unpleasing to have this as a weapon. i got my hands on a heavens light and put x2 shaels in it:thumbsup:
also when using hoz, will u at a higher risk of dieing without exiles life tap?

Then buy a Life Tap wand. Cast it before you go in, then the Life Tap from Dracs would constantly replenish it.

When I use my exile life tap triggers always fast enough. Drac's take a few more seconds usually,that are crucial vs mephi. So I always carry 4 full rejuves. Never had a prolblem with that tactic.

First one is probably lag, especially since there is a connection lost afterwards. There is no fix possible for that.

Anyways, I use scantuary aura against Baal instead, since I need salvation for meph. Also, scantuary basically make mana burn much less of an issue. It also allows me to kill all those PI ghosts for fun afterwards.



Against Baal why Sanctuary aura?? against the lords??

rushing with a smiter? thats a new one on me, might have a lil trouble in dias sanc (iron maiden means 1 smite/zeal = dead usually), a few problems with this though: 1: your fcr will suck (if u use mh this problem will be reduced)
2: your mana will be useless, get an insight merc as easy solution
3: a sorc/hammerdin is far more effective at rushing (sorcs are a heck of a lot cheaper to)

Anyway for tristing you should have no problems consider getting more crushing blow but this guy should solo trist pretty fast, change a bk for a raven, the immune to freeze is invaluable, i am presuming here your going to kill the minions with zeal, if u intend to smtie EVERYTHING to death your runs will take about an hour cos of the masses of monsters, if you team with a gosu lightsorc/hammerdin who concentrates on minions this will be a breeze, consider switching coa for gulliame for masses of crushing blow (if you actually read the guide you would know how useful this is).
