Can a Merc survive Ubers?

Provided he's still alive after you've cased Life Tap.

Can he? What are the main difficulties with this challange?

Thanks.

(Sorry, didn't know which forum to ask).|||Theoretically the merc can survive. However even with lifetap he will still be taking a ton of damage and probably need you feeding him potions. Unfortunately he will probably aggro all the monsters at once making his odds of survival even lower. IMO it's easier to simply kill him before I go ubering. With the correct gear there is no need for a merc.|||i had one survive rather well when i did my bowa vs ubers. i used an act 5 merc using last wish in a phase blade, kira's helm, and duress.

the key is life tap and him hitting often. if you're melee and the focus of the ubers is on you, he should be fine. if he wanders off however, he'll need to proc tap himself. if you could ensure that there was always tap around, i'd think a holy freeze merc would be the best in terms of helping you and survival. defiance and doom would be a good combo to have to i'd think.|||in any case, a merc can be a liability in Ubers if you like to lure them out one by one.|||My merc usually survives without any pots, i have a act2 might aura merc to my 1pt smiter. He's got gladiators, Gaze and a obidience helm and armor not etheral even.

I always do mephisto first and lure him out a bit, cast a lift tap charge on him and smite away... Did'nt even switch to salvation the last couple of times so we both had resist in the reds... Clvl 90

So yes it can be done prety eazy.|||Quote:

Just to help out any newer players that read this and might be confused, because I know all of your gear in your setup and even still it took me a while to get what you were saying...

You could edit your post to this: "He's got gladiators, Gaze and a obidience (helm and armor not etheral even)."



Not to nitpick or anything, but your sentence made it sould like you had Obedience made into both helm and armor ;-)|||let's stop talking about smiters. ok?

Smiter does not need any merc at all. he can do ubers even in 8ppl game in solo in crap items under life-tap, using a minimal amount of crushing, it's cheapest char in game that can do ubers without any diifficulties.

here we are talking about chars that cannot do ubers without merc, and we are looking for a way, that merc can survive against mephisto conva aura and his attacks. My assuption: kira +um, COH + obiedence, this witll stack enough resists for conva, but it is very expensive, in regards to Ber rune for COH., Last wish is 3 JAH, guys, where do you get this runes? and how many time do you spent for finding/cubing it? I am playing on 1.12 server without any hacks/dupes and other cheats. But I can understand that even for experienced player, Hell forge rushing for 1 Jah - is about 64x7 = 448 mules. If I would play 3-4 hours per day, it will took to me for about a month for rushing Jah|||hey, the OP didnt ask for a cheap option. i relayed my experience. i dont feel i need to detail where every rune i ever had came from in every post i've ever made.|||How does a trechery armor for the merc work in Uber tristram? The fade would give him both resist and damage reduction, sure someone must have tried and could give some input on this.
