Level 100, glyphs almost maxed. I solo all bosses very easily I haven’t done Lilith yet though. How hard is she with this build? I see guides that go through the mechanics and they make it look like a 20 minute fight nearly impossible.
The issue is 99% of the people including myself that have killed her did the cheese method because the actual 1HKO mechanics only allow on average 1 second to react to, for comparison harder games allow 3 seconds, hardcore asian games even allow 1.5 seconds.
So ontop of them expecting you to be able to identidy and react to an one shot mechanic in less then 1 second they overlap several of them on the screen with all sorts of crap flying around that also does high damage so you basically have to cheese it.
Bone spear might have the dps, I havent played one since season 1 but basically you want to phase her at the start before she vanishes and starts that ground wave crap.
If you can do that, a second phase starts and its the same thing, kill her fast before the mechanics start.
I understand its a bit of an half a** answer but you need to understand just how broken the actual mechanics are if you are going to attempt it manually.
If you cheese build it you’ll probably get it done quick. If you’re running a noncheese build expect hundreds of attempts as you learn. Of the classes I’ve killed her on necro is pretty good because you can immune waves with bloodmist.
What is considered a “cheese” build? I’m just following the MaxRoll bone spear endgame build almost exactly.
he means Overpowered build.
i ran bone necro in season 1 , was able to kill her in my 2nd try very easily : she couldn’t even spam her waves.
being able to bypass the spiked waves through overpowered DPS is considered cheesing the fight basically
in my opinion : the waves shouldn’t be able to one shot us nor should we be able to one shot lilith.
a one shot be it from the boss or to the boss doesn’t make for an epic fight at all.
she should have damage received limit to avoid us being able to bypass her various patterns.
HOTA barb and Ball Lightning sorc are typically the cheese builds, but bone spear necro might be possible, idk how it handles post season 1 myself.
This season ive done Uber Lilith on arc lash sorc, stormclaw druid, and hota barb myself ( 2 basic attack builds and 1 aoe build ).
“How hard is Uber Lilith with a bone spear necro?”
Can you do so much damage that you skip all her mechanics?
yes: it’s easy
no: it’s hard
can always roll spirit bomb and cheese her with a oneshot.
Every class has a cheese build. And by cheese, skip all the mechanics.
Just a quick search on YouTube:
Diablo IV - Uber Lilith - 95 Druid - YouTube
Diablo 4 S2: HoTA Barbarian Uber Lilith Speed Kill - YouTube
Diablo IV: 1 Shot Uber Lilith Necromancer - YouTube
Diablo 4 Season 2 ROGUE POISON OBLITERATES UBER LILITH in 75 seconds. - YouTube
As far as Bone Spear itself, with the right gear, you can skip the mechanics as well. Is it the best build? I don’t know. That’s really dependent upon the player. A lot comes down to just understanding the mechanics of the build and how to pull off damage.
I.e. With Ball Lightning Sorc, you just spam a button. With something like HotA or rogue, you need to prebuild stacks before you go into the Lilith fight. With Necro in Season 1, you needed to time Corpse Explosion to get the necessary damage. I’m unsure as far as the requirements to make Bone Spear cheesy though in Season 2.
You may want to switch to a 2H to increase your DPS even more and swap the Sacrilegious ring with a damage or another resource aspect ring of your choice.
You then need to detonate the corpses manually and time Corpse Tendril so you can activate both Flesh-Eater and Grasping Veins at the same time. Maybe the explanation on this vid can help (timestamped):
