uberland minions

the minions im referring to are not my minions, but the minions of the Ubers themselves

we all know that mephy, D, and baal are not tough by themselves, but their minons are a pain, and they are resistant to everything, and im wondering what their actual resistance is

I know it has to be more than 100, but how far over 100, cuz i will be ubering with a sorc, and if i cant break their immunity with my lower resist, we screwed

I don't know any exact numbers for you. All I know is that I do not know anyone who takes a sorc into Uber with the exception of a melee/enchantress Sorc. Just judging from that fact alone, I'd say that many sorc-lovers have ran into a problem similar to this, especially since even if the Resists were broken, it probably would not be by much even with a good LR. I doubt this helps much, but I thought I"d throw that out into the open anyhow :smiley:

Alright, the minions in Uber Trist are...
1) Skele Mages
2) Skele Warriors
3) Pitlord variant
4) Ghoul Lords
5) Spectres

The ones I think you are referring to are the Pitlords, resistant to everything but physical and hammers, and they have 130 resist all to all their elements, so your not going to break it with ANY lower resist, however, if conviction from infinity and lower resist stack (dont see y not) then it will take a combined -155% from infinity and LR to break their immunity to 99%, where facets/cold mast can start to take effect, so basically, its going to be very very hard even if you find a wand with charges that high...

Bogie as usual is right on. Silly pit lords are resistant to just about everything except physical damage and magical damage (hammers, bone spear, etc.). Actually I think that the pit lords have 145%resistance to the elements. Ssog can have the final word as my memory is starting to go. Breaking immunities if I recall correctly is 1/5 effective, so breaking the immunity is extremely unlikely. Uber Tristram is best run with elite melee builds, Summoner Necro, or in party mode.
The only guide that I've seen where a sorc solos uber town was one that was using revives with crushing blows. FooSoft has a cool necro guide.

Good luck and Good hunting!

ps: Has anyone actually seen a melee/enchant sorc actually solo uber-town?

not really, just cast terror on them and they'll flee from screen, if they return cast more terror or if you want to "use them" use attract
