Need advice for choosing a Uber unique for a Tank build

PC General Discussion

Hello,
I will craft my first and probably only Uber Unique. Im in doubt with one, please any advice will help.
I Have 3 chars about lvl 80-90.
A Barbarian Bash/Devil
A necro pure minion
A heart seeker rogue

Im in doubt between the Tyraels might or Melted Heart of Selig

I really live the Melted Heart mechanic/idea. And i dont see a problem in losing the necklace slot for it

What do you guys think?

Im not certain for how the two items would benefit other classes but for barb I would say Melted Heart will be much tankier than Tyraels unless you got lucky and GA’d + Master worked the Max ressist.

I went with shako/harlequin crest. It seems to have much more utility and its fantastic for puting on a level 35 alt to help catapult their damage. Other ubers seem a little too specific if youre only ever making one of them.

For tank the two best are harlequin crest and Tyrael’s might.

Don’t underestimate Tyrael’s Might! It boosts your MAX resists! With the right masterwork you can get everything to 85%, which is HUGE (equiv to DOUBLING your hps). Plus it has 10% DR.

Depending on the build I’d prefer Tyrael’s to the shako.

Same here. i figure i’ll probably have one Uber, so a Shako can be handed to almost every char as BiS at lvl 35

I can tell you which one not to get Andariels visage…they put diminishing returns on it so it basically doesn’t work on high lvl boss!! And they dont tell you that anywhere in game!!! I traded in the uber chest and starless ring to get it…so to be fair, I want shako to only give 2% damage reduction and +1 to all skills, grandfather to only give 10% to crit damage…aww that is bad, well to bad! You cant nurf one uber making it not really an uber and not f over the rest! Just make visage only work 100% with basic attacks, not like we do billions of damage with basic attacks.

Thanks, guys.
As far i can see the Tyraels its a very good item
The damage of the holy bolts seems to fall off on leveling, but its a good item to proc lucky hits. And the big point its the resistances.

The melted heart its a very solid item, ive seen some videos on last league about it and it can make you really tank if you have enough resource generation

harlequin crest. would work with just about any class/build

Damn,you are really into meta arent you…

I switched my Bash Bard build to use Heart of Selig, and he’s as tanky as my Thorn Barb atm. It also boosts your damage significantly since Ramaladni uses max resources for %dmg. Since bash doesn’t use resources, you have a effectively a big barrier constantly.

But I’m sure Tyrael is great too, it just won’t boost your damage.

Adding the URL of the build, worth checking imho.

I am doing something similar with the melted heart and highly recommend it. I have received very few Ubers, but it has made a world of difference on my thorns/bash barb. No longer concerned with one shot boss damage in pit level 100. So far… :star_struck:

I just got a shako my barb and the difference it makes is immense.

i use shaco/tyrael/seilig/granpapa with my barb build and still clean pit100 in less than 2min.

i’d say for barb shaco>grandpapa>tyrael>seilig

doombringer is great if you play thorn aswell
