Quick rundown on early ubers?

Was planning on farming keys and making an uber farmer for ubers in the first few days but wasn't sure what was actually required. I figured it'd be a pally with a lot of CB and max conviction. But, as far as gear goes I'm not sure. Is capping res other than light even needed?

My reset group doesn't have anyone that wants to kill them so here I am trying to figure out what the bare minimum I need to take down early ubers is. Thanks in advance.

Using a physical char with a decent lifepool and lifetap is all you really need. You can get a free 60 res by prebuffing with treachery. If you have a friend playing a druid or a barb then you can probably get a free lifepool increase through BO or Oak Sage. You want to have a degen like open wounds to keep the bosses from regen'ing. Meph conviction will take you down -125 and Hell is -100, so you'll want to stack at minimum 300 lightning resist (more if you wear tgods or other Max LR gear, which is good for both the Meph/Diablo fight). Have your group collect Full Rejuvs early on for later. You can prespawn uber bosses on P1 (come within like 2.5 screens of them) and have your group come in after to help DPS if you want, once spawned they wont get stronger. Smiter and Shockwave druid are relatively cheap to get going, there's a few others as well that don't require too much. Ubers are really just a survivability check and lifetap is OP on Phys characters.

Just heads up. If you havent practiced ubers many times running them early with budget gear is almost always a surefire fail.

The usual uber gear applies. Budget would be smite, if your are lucky early then go dual dream. CB and conviction do not go together. Conviction would be for dual dream, but that is expensive unless lucky (every now and again you find the jahs in a few minutes though so never count out good luck)

Pretty sure there are smite guides here.

You want as much phys reduction as possible (cap is 50%), all other res maxed. Max light rez and light absorb are pretty big too

All you need is:

Tgods, ss, draculs,, treachery, solid weapon, rejuvs. Demon limb and Medusa are just a bonus.

Be a druid, paladin or assassin.

Undergeared ubers is hard stuff. Might want to make a friend that has a lot of experience running them to bail you out when minions spawn everywhere and you cant get your body back. I ran ubers first week last ladder and failed miserably first run then managed to collect 19 torches with 0 sorc torches and made no real profit with the amount of time i spent running for keys. Im not even going to make an uber killer next ladder. I got rich late in season from simply trying to up map relics.

Were you upping 1's and 2's to sell the 3's? Or just looking at what people were buying in general?

All of them. Just killing a path to the boss to get relics and got rich doing that.

the real key is getting like 400 light resist early and a necro friend to spam tap
