Report on kicker vs Ubers

It's what we've all been waiting for:

n case anyone was wondering how a kicksin would do for clone killing now that there are new quests out..

Was just killing clones a couple of times today. This build pwns uber diablo and baal easily (as long as you lure one of them at a time, keep FAR away from meph until these two are dead), but had a lot of trouble with meph. I still managed to kill him both times, but it was really luck of lifetap keeping me alive. Meph just does too much damage too quickly if your resists are only at 75. I switched around my setup so while torch hunting I'll be having 100+ stacked res, I'm not sure yet how much I need to have 85 with tgods since there isn't much info available. Depending on how much res I need I'll be using 90 res wizardspike or beast warspike (to use fade) while fighting him. I'll still likly use stormlash + nature's peace while killing diablo and baal.

Wizadept is the best kicksin user I've met, and uses fairly standard high-end equipment, only changing a couple things. This is his setup as best as I can tell: (It's mostly copy/paste; not sure if/what he changed for this specific fight.)

Stormlash Jah'd
Stormshield Um'd
Enigma
Up'd Gores
Draculs
Arachnid
Guillaume's Um'd (going to switch to ber'd)
manaleech/res/7+ fcr amulet (going to switch to metalgrid)
Ravenfrost
Carrion Wind (going to switch to 10fcr/mana leech blood ring)

Charms:
Anni
Gheeds
Enough resists for 75 all
Enough fhr for 48 breakpoint
The rest is an assortment of elemental damage, vita, frw, and mf.

Might merc:
AmnShaelEth Tombreaver
40/15ias Guillaume's
Gladiator's Bane

edit - One last thing!
The Conviction on Meph seems to be level 30ish, which means you'll need to stack 180 or so fire/cold/lit resists to maintain "perfect".

Yep this build works for killing the new bosses
I've used a similar equipment setup to kill uber trist twice w/ a kikcer

ITD from the jah works on the bosses?

Wouldn't Lacerator be a good pick? Amp is always welcome, and OW prevents the ubers from healing.

 

[rekklesskiller]

do you need to stack all res or just lightning?

Yeah I was wondering... what is that skill UberMeph uses for those 1 hit kills? I never see him cast anything, my char just dies

On another note, if I even with slight equip switches, went to kick them with my pansy *** kicker (she has a lawbringer which is great though) I wouldn't hit anyone, she has kinda low AR and trouble hitting the regular baal too

P.S. Will trade necrotorch for assassintorch

But as people have stated. Life tap is NEEDED to stay alive while fighting these guys.
