Could my Pala survive solo Uber Tristram?

Afternoon guys,
I've just built my first ever fanatacism zealot. He's now at level 85 and has the following equip:

Fortitude Dusk Shroud
Grief Phase Blade (Azure on switch for PIs)
HoZ (Alma Negra on switch)
Gores
Draculs
String of Ears
Maras, Bk5, Raven
A few +100pscs and [email protected] gcs

I've done the key runs, got the keys, killed Izzy, Lilly and Dury with little trouble, using zeal only (not a fan of smite, and with Grief ignoring defence I didn't see the point). So the question is, would the above build stand a chance against the Ubers? I really don't want to cube the organs and find I've wasted currency when I'm not able to complete it and get the torch I seek. But I don't want to run scared if I'm likely to be able to do it. Since I've never used this build before I'm not entirely sure what it's capable of so I thought I'd ask you guys for some advice (and to be on standby incase things start to go wrong!).

Cheers,
Craig

I'd say you have more than enough gear for it. Looks like you should have an easy ride in trist. If there was something that might make things even easier, you might want to switch out the Azure for a lifetap wand(you do not want to wait for drac's to cast from my experience). Once lifetap casts, the BK ring and string's become obsolete, I'd go with resists over life leach. You won't need the extra +1 in skill. The 10-15 dr helps but not as much as more resists. Small difference though, as long as you have the core of life tap, crushing blow, resists, you should be fine. I've seen and done ubers using far worse gear than what you have so I'd say you have nothing to worry about. Don't panic when you see them spawning minions like crazy, just focus in on the bosses and keep swinging to keep that life tap going.

Thanks! I'm slightly more confident after that. The other thing I'm not sure about is whether I should use fanaticism (get the highest bps for my zeal) or salvation, especially with Meph's conviction? In hell I'm comfortably in the 90s for all resists, so how bad is conviction likely to hit me? I did consider trying to get hold of a Last Wish PB for the lifetap and huge crushing blow, but thought that the damage of grief would be more important.

Good gear but the only thing that might go wrong is that Diablo casts a bone prison on you whilst attempting to close with Mephisto and you get swamped by minions to the point where you can't get a clean hit on the prison quick enough...............




It happened to me once but I'm sure you'll be fine........

If you have that gear, there should not be a problem. Maybe switching out the BK for a wisp or dwarf for a tad bit more sorb. Use smite in trist, zeal hits multiple enemies which you do not want to be doing, you want to be hitting the uber 3 and taking them out asap.

The biggest problem I see is since you're using draculs, you need to be careful around meph before the first life tap goes off. I've had some bad luck where it feels like it never goes off and his conviction just rips through you. Besides that you're good to go.
If you can reach the IAS breakpoints without fanat I'd use salvation until the life tap goes off.
