Ive been trying to find out why smiters are the best for doing ubers but i cant find out why. The most logical thing ive come up with is because of their stun but then i remembered that barbs have a skill that stuns to. If its the stun im go to make a stun barb.
Please tell me why smiters!!!!:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
As can a kicksin. Did it once. It was harder than smiter, which kept it interesting, but not hard enough that I couldn't do it at all
assassin is probably second best to smiter. smite will always be best since it doesn't need attack rating to hit; however, with a good attack rating assassin is nearly as fast and may actually be safer due to crowd control abilities. (there were many times in hardcore that i had to use my assassin to clear ubers when careless smiters had been slain.)
edit: basically any char with a fast attack, good attack rating, lifetap, stacked resists and crushing blow can make short work of them.
that can be any char including a necro or sorc using runeword passion (for zeal).

they'll never see me coming.. life is a sequence of tragedies, inconsistent only by fleeting, elusive moments of pleasure,
serving only to ensure absolute vulnerability to the pain of their inevitable absence.
Yea. My char isn't even a smiter. It's a zealot.. which already has 1 pt in smite because it's a pre-req to Holy Shield. Make a Black runeword out of a Scourge, get a life tap dagger or wand from Malah in Act 5 and add some other gear for more CB and resists. Dracs are an almost must. I wouldn't suggest doing it without dracs. A renewed source of lifetap is pretty important. Other cheap gear are Goblin Toe boots for CB, rings with resists or dwarf star and raven frost for fire and cold absorb, a rare shield with resists, +2 pally skills ammy with resists, Tgods belt for light absorb, Guillames Face for CB, any life, psn dmg, resist, or ar sc's you can find. My Pally uses a Shaftstop only 'cause he already downs ubers perfectly fine without anything better. And I'm using all the gear mentioned above. 'Cept for a hoz and astreon's iron ward. But originally he was using the gear above.
Guess I should mention his skill tree.
1pt Defiance
Max Fanatisicm and 1pt pre-reqs
Max Sacrifice
Max Zeal
Max Holy Shield and 1pt pre-reqs
Required Level: 77
Strength enough for Gear
Dex enough for max block (holy shield will minimize the need)
Rest in vita
= cheap but kick ass char

Edit: On another note I've downed Ubers with only 1 pt in Smite.
This sums it up pretty well....
Really only one point in smite? Ive never tried that but I guess it shows how insane a skill for killing bosses smite is eh?
Yep thats true.
You basically need life tap with every melee build if you want to solo UT.
It's not lifetap alone that makes the build, ANY build can use lifetap gloves.
It's the stun, knockback, and defense that make it.
On a side note, Fury druids can solo ubers quite well.
