Different setups to finish my uber-smiter

So, my project on this ladder is just to fill and entire account with completely playable characters without having to hot-swap items between them. I have finished my lightning sorceress and am now working on my smiter. The setup so far is:

Helm: Guillaume's Um'd
Amulet:
Weapon: Grief PB
Armor:
Shield: Sanctuary made in 45 @ res shield for total 111 @ res
Gloves: Dracs
Rings: 2 x 20 dex Ravens
Belt: 15% DR Dungo
Boots: Gores

no anni yet and a barb torch 13/10 for the stats/res.

As you can see two of the spaces are blank.

My first priority is dealing with meph's conviction (btw what level is it again? 20?) Hence the Um + Sanctuary + rubbish torch. With my 30 res from Anya, against hell res -100, thats put me at 15 + 111 + 30 - 100 + 10 = 66 @ res in hell. So, my question is, what would peoples best advice be for the amulet/armor slots? I was thinking of going with CoH + Metalgrid (65 + 35 for another 100 @ res) If I then factor in the lowest anni possible I am stacked up at 176 @ res.

If I am calculating correctly (and meph's conviction is at 20) that will put me at 51 @ res against him, and lots extra against the others. Is this enough? Its been a long while since I did the ubers. Is there anywhere I can sacrifice stuff for more res that you can see? What other suggestions would you give on tweaking? Many thanks!

ubers are easy:)
have you read the 1pt smite guide? if you haven't, you should, it's pretty awesome.
the main idea is that you don't need "gozu" stuff to beat ubers.
first of all i have to say i'm a big fan of "cheap and effective" stuff.
and i guess you've already made a grief and sanctuary, so nvm these.

first and most important make a Treachery runeword as a pre-buff. this runeword has ctc "fade" which gives you huge DR and resists bonus. to trigger just stand on the fire in UT/andy.
amu- Highlord. if you're not hitting the IAS bp that's must and if you do it still offers nice +1 skills and big light (meph's main attack) res.
belt can be switched to Tgods. the lightning absorb is awesome as well as the huge +str +dex bonuses. i never understood why people are so hang up on DR.
armor.... i used coh. it was nice. however, if you pre-buff with treachery you can use GA to boost your max res, which is quite effective. also you can use Smoke on elite shield for sweet +50% res. duress is also an option for some res OW and CB.

don't use torch imo. it's just harder to pick the one that's dropped up. if you're using this guy for pvping as well that something else, but if he's for Ubering only, putting a few points in dex/str won't kill him.

Why do you have 2 ravens? Replace one with a rare resist ring and for your ammy get a metalgrid or rare resist ammy.

I don't know why your resists are low, on my 1point smiter I have 90 all resists plus the 75 from treachery, and I don't have any amazing gear like COH or metalgrid or sanctuary.

I use a 30resist all blue ammy and my 2nd ring is a blue 5ll/15resist all ring. I didn't bother with the treachery armor, I just used salvation for meph.

Re: Different setups to finish my uber-smiter

You can use torches from other classes and get the resist and attribute adds?!! Duh! Why didn't I think of that! (I have a pally torch, but I should have used a cheap torch!)

I have a +28 res all blue ammy that I use too...

If you use salvation until meph is dead like I do you won't need to use treachory. I use fortitude which is better than CoH in my opinion, but both will work. If you use treachory you will be able to use fanatacism against everyone.

Any way you slice it you shouldn't have problems. You've obviously done your homework.

Heck, you could get a res all ammy and "smoke" and you would be able to do ubers without much trouble. I certainly would pick up a cheap anni too (UM).
