I did it! Heart is still pumping hard.
Level 82 Dream Pal.
Switched the glove to Dracula, everything else keep the same.
One point goes to Smite.
Act 1 Merc died one time when vs Mephisto. Better than I expected.
Forgot to switch the glove to Dracula when i was doing Lilith, drank a lot of potions, HP dropped half, quite scary.
Other two mini boss were not hard for me.
In Trustream, a lot of monsters immune to every element (first time saw this), I have no idea how I killed them.
Switched the Aura to Salvation for Mephisto, conviction for other bosses.
Diablo was super annoying since he kept reviving minions. Therefore he was a little bit hard to target. I suspect I hit more on his minions than him.
Finally got a 20/12 Necromancer torch.
I also got an item called “Stand of Heros”. What’s that? It requires level 90 to equip and I am level 82 so I cannot use it for now.
Yeap!

Congrats for your first try. I have did this few times and everytime my hr was at zone 4 level 


Although already know the procedure but the feel is always the same.
Get a life tap wand (best is in high level so it keep longer on bosses) on swap and curse it before u start killing all.

Congrats!!! Standards of heroes is a useless item. Just toss it or keep it as a token of your feat. Wellndone and welcome to the uber club.

Congrats! Adding this to my goals to complete this.
Question for the folks in the thread — How viable is a hammerdin for completing Uber quest? Used him for Uber Diablo for annis and it worked out fine (not super smooth by any means but it worked)
Uber is much harder than Dclone. I can do dclone with bow Amazon, but may not be a good idea for uber.
My current build, two critical things:
- Dracula gloves for life trap
- Smite’s always hit combine with 1 to provide a reliable HP source.
For Hammderdin, you cannot leech…
So far I found CS Amazon does the dclone very fast/smooth: just blindly poke maybe ten times and dclone melt.
Its horrible. Doesn’t even make a dent

Good to know…thanks all - will need to build out a smiter for this at some point
Congrats! can’t wait till i get to experience this without calling a friend in for help =)
Good news. There is a Hammerdin uber guide.
Just cost you a couple of skill points.
But you need a grief for the build.

You don’t need a Grief, although it help. 1 Point Smite 1 Point Fanatascism and smiter gear. Black/Grief/that Paladin weapon with sockets and crushing blow, Drraculs, Gface, Gore Rider, Verdungo, Ravenfrost, I think I used a Wisp Projector and Highlords maybe? Its overkill once lifetap procs. I am assuming that guide says the same thing.
Anyone do a full Foher or foh/smite hybrid? Foh seems to work well mostly demons. I made a smiter first, Foher second build works decent can clear crowds but takes a few shots of foh
i made a hybrid foher, but i haven’t tested it out on ubers yet because i still need 4 more keys. But the build seems to kill all bosses and dclone relatively easy. I don’t see any problems with being able to use this hybrid vindicator pally when battling ubers…anyone have experience with a vindicator pally doing ubers yet?
You can be any of those builds, but just use 1 point smite 1 point fanaticism and a smiter set for your Uber runs. You have to have open wounds are they aren’t going to die. You need Crushing blow or they aren’t going to die. You need life tap or you are going to die.
I did make a full Foher on nonladder (restated my hdin) same gear I clears solo games fast but sucks in full games and horrendously slow against bosses, especially dclone so not sure if it’ll be logical to go full Foher in Uber
Congrats! Uber is something I want to achieve someday too
still slowly leveling my foh-smiter and stupid me made a decision to level it in ladder… oh my I miss my many spirit rws in the NL shared stash
Interesting to see you use conviction, as I saw most guides would use fanatism. The hit rate seems to be key, as it leeches and procs CB/OW, whereas conviction doesn’t really help physical damage and defense is not a problem for smite either
so based on the assessment from DeathHusk, a hydrid foher/smiter should be fine against ubers since you have maxed out holy shield, smite, and a point in fanatacism. Just make sure you have the right gear (dracs, gores, guillames helmet, or anything comparable).
I heard that with Grief you can save the holy shield points due to its flat +dmg
Always curious whether Fortitude could save smite points due to its +%dmg, there seems to be debates whether it applies to smite; Amazon Basin says it does apply
Looks like FoH-smiter works, and better gears just make more skill points available for FoH synergies or more/stronger auras
I have put 0 point in fanatism since my merc use a Faith bow. I have no idea if the conviction aura works on uber boss or not. I am a newbee for uber and I actually ready to ask for help if I cannot do it.
The act 1 merc died one time, which is not bad. Maybe I can give up damage and seeking for max resist and damage reduction next time to see if she can survive.
Another interesting thing is: since I am using dual dream, which proc confusion on stuck, I did see those minions fight each other. 
The hit rate / attack rating is not a problem since smite always hit.
