Anyone soloed trist with assa?

Sorry it took so long to reply, been busy with real life 
Anyway to answer your questions. My build is a kicker/fire trapper (the traps don't help much vs. the ubers) The key points as far as I can tell for uber killing is max resists, 50% pdr, dracul's grasp for lifetap, and cloak of shadows for dealing with the minions.
My life with bo is about 2400, my ar is 13.5k and my kick damage is only 16xx, so I rely on the crushing blow from the fleshripper for most of the initial damage. (at first the life really drops from the ubers, but when they are down to a sliver it takes a while to finally kill them)
The mana death I referred too was caused by using 16 mana potions during my fight with Baal. I was out of potions in my belt, and couldn't get out of his minion pack. I should have run to town earlier, but was pretty sure I could take him. However he was doing his mana drain attack almost constantly that time and it just hosed my potion stock.
As for mephy's conviction aura it wasn't so bad. My char is for pvp and has about stacked res (about 110) so with between that and lifetap he wasn't too bad. He would still hurt me quite a lot with some attacks, but the lifetap would always save me. I never checked my resists, was to scared to pop open the char screen and die cause I wasn't paying attention
Hope this helps

Can you tell us what was your whole setup Life pool AR? Buid? I really find it cool you soloed UberTrist 7times. I am definitly making a Sin uber killer on HC.
I guess 1.5k life is minimum. Run out of mana death ? lol First time i hear that. Just push a Full Rejuv and your good to go. How did Mephisto Conviction aura affected you tho? he's LE and without fade I can't imagine how you would survive. How much resist did you have with the aura?
His build wasn't Trist-only. Also, with 20 DS you can get the keys far more easily. If nothing else, all those death sentries is going to give Nihilithak a run for his money. Give him some of his own medicine.Gixidor said:
Personally, I think a kicker/trapper build would be the strongest for this, but it tends to be the strongest PvM build anyway, so there's no real surprise there.
How do people know things like this? There's no official manual for this stuff I'm assuming. Do people hack the program and look inside? I've always wondered.ilkori said:
And... you know... taking the lower fade renders that armor useless if you're a full fade user. That's a shame.
takes no hacking or something like that lol. Just char editor (access to all those items you need to test with) on SP works fine if you don´t have access/don´t feel like wasting your runes to test it with "real chars". kinda easy to keep an eye on your damage (with high level venom on) and watch that does it change if you get lower level venom from that armor(or somewhere else). Same thing with Fade basically.dallemar said:
Oh and that armor doesn´t look that bad now, as 5% chance to get lower level fade casted when struck isn´t that much. it is 1/20 chance to get it casted if you don´t have shield/weapon block, so gets closer to 1/60 or 1/40 chance. Not to mention it wont take that long to recast your high level fade if that happens, though it could be annoying.
