Hey guys.
i have collected 3 sets of keys required for the event and just sort of visited inside to check out or test out the bosses.
then this scary Andariel comes rushing towards us hit my Act 2 merc 2-3 times hes DEAD.
then andy comes at me im running for my life barely made it to the portal with about 5% HP left. im a level 91 Sorc wearing full Tal Rasha set with around 220 res each element.
im not even at the other 2 minor bosses yet, not even at the main event with the ubers.
how much resistance and defense do i need to solo this thing ? i have seen people do it on youtube but with teammates because they are playing online.
without the absolute best gear for a sorc, you will not be able to kill those bosses, they are generally done by a smiter, or a mosaic sin.

Ubers can be tough with casters. It’s the one area where physical melee characters can shine, due to being able to administer lots of Crushing Blow to get through the huge pool those bosses have, and take advantage of Life Tap to keep their HP topped off. If you want to do it on your sorc, there are guides available.
Smiter is most common b/c it can be done with pretty cheap gear, since Smite is “auto hit” and crushing blow is doing most of the work.
I usually do them on my Frenzy Barb, I’ve seen other people have luck with Fury WW Druids as well.

what class is best to use for this ?
paladin has it easiest I’d say, as has been pointed out.
Check this out:
Smite is also cheapest, followed by mosaic. Lightning Strike will be more expensive due to Infinity.
there are sorc builds capable of it though.

Ubers are probably the one thing in this game where Physical builds outshine Casters. Casters cannot deal Elemental Damage and choke off their HP regeneration at the same time because to do the latter requires applying Poison Damage AND/OR Open Wounds. Prevent Monster Heal does not work on them and to apply Open Wounds requires that you land a Physical attack. That’s extremely difficult as a Sorceress.
The most cookie-cutter and efficient build to do it is the Smiter(variant of Paladin class). Yet with the advent of Mosaic, the Kicksin is probably number 1 now given her finishing moves always hit while having a MA Charge active. Those charges can greatly amplify her Kick-Damage, sustain(Tap + Cobra Strike) and ability to land multiple shots at Crushing Blow(which is 50%). Tack on Fade for solid Resistance(including Physical) and she’s one tough cookie to take down.
Am rather curious as to whether the Phoenix Strike variant would do better though.
