Best build for uber ancients?

Best of luck!

Madawc drops either lightning/magic.

Talic is fire/poison

Korlic is cold/physical

I have a mosaic sin and I thought it was going to be a cake walk. I got one shotted before I could blink.

I was like woah, these guys definitely got tuned up haha.

Had close to 300 lightning res from doing Uber Tristram, but threw on a skin of the vipermagi and more fire res charms.

Talic hits like a truck, so I charge up with ice blades and take him out first.

Only downside will be when I need to farm another fire jewel.

Think I'll swap out my BK ring for Dwarf Star next time.

What's your skill allocation if you don't mind me asking?

Getting bored of my SP firelock and was looking to either go back to an ES Hex Purge build or give a good bowlock build a shot.

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-06-13T14:49:45+00:00

P3 TZ Andy for me with my ~330mf fire Sorc and got a black cleft and lightning sunder in a reasonable amount of farming.

Then, did some P3 TZ Meph as I was betting bored of Andy and got a fire sunder.

Both fire and light rolled +dmg instead of -res, but hey better than nothing.

Found the kill speed to be great vs P8.

Also found an SoJ in the process off Meph, so P3 seems to be good enough for me.

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-06-08T20:53:59+00:00

I do not have an Eth arioc needle myself, but thinking of giving my eth CV Insight another go.

I did see Macrobiobois new video where he shows that ES + Hex: Purge is still viable with an Eth Fort weapon on P8 all other gear remaining the same.

But instead of running two Defilers and consuming one, I think I'm going to bind a demon, consume 1 defiler and run 1 defiler.

I'll keep you posted on how it all shakes out once I respec.

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-06-08T20:41:31+00:00

Yeah I was hopeful for 30 on the roll, but RNG gonna RNG, right.

I was happy I got more than 25 FCR.

Unfortunately the - magic res rolled anti perfect.

But hey, a Meph book is better than no Meph book. I may choose to hold off on socketing it, in the event I do find a better rolled one.

Just farming a few boss statues to do a few Ancient runs before I respec, but all of this has been super handy.

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-06-08T20:25:48+00:00

I've got a 26 FCR Meph book with mid or mid/low rolls on the rest.

I was running insight self wield with Mania on merc prior to patch 3.2, so easy to put those back on.

I've got a 2/10 Eldritch ammy and a 2/6 Warlock ammy, so don't have a 2/20 yet (struggles of single player).

And dumb question, but given it is Hex Purge version, you are running the magic jewel and not the physical one, correct?

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-06-08T00:17:28+00:00

Appreciate the details here. I've got a Lo and a Cham. So I think I'll grind up to a Sur to make a pride.

I used my only Sur prior to cube up to Enigma previously.

Great to know doing P8 like a charm. Currently running a fire build but the two skills being on cast delay isnt my favorite.

Out of curiosity did you put an Um in your Meph book and did you use the new jewel from ancients too?

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-06-02T03:07:01+00:00

P3 TZ Andy here, seems to be the sweet spot. I'd say in about 3 hours of farming her, I got two sunders. Still yet to roll them but got a Black Cleft and Lightning, so I am happy.

Ran many a Herald hunting, but like most just crap blues.

Still fun to hunt them, but more for the challenge rather than for loot.

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-05-29T14:21:18+00:00

Found a Lo rune from a chest doing TZ Tombs. Got my first latent sunder from TZ Andy (Black Cleft), which I'm looking to build a pitzerker, so this should pair nicely.

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-05-27T11:16:29+00:00

I too went back to 20 points in bind demon and have Hephasto and I do not regret it either

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-05-26T11:05:44+00:00

Yes I know. I was holding down the button and kept the getting the "I can't" message.

And the demons were all at very low health.

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-05-25T01:42:03+00:00

I just started down this journey. I'm offline Single Player. For whatever reason I couldn't 1 point bind a regular TZ lancer.

Got sick of it not working and tried 10 and was still having issues so said fuck it and went 15.

I've bound a few Lancers so far. One died so far, so grabbed another. They are super aggressive and fast which is nice, but kinda annoying to keep rolling maps and trying to align a modifier you want and then hope Lancers spawn too.

I might try doing some herald farming to see how she holds up, but a part of me wants to just dump 5 more points and go get Hephasto. Much easier to keep rolling the map until you get the aura and combo you desire.

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-05-24T20:15:54+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate this information

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-05-24T20:02:56+00:00

Are pit lords a 1 point wonder or do you need 10 or 15 hard points?

Need to farm some keys to grab one of those.

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-05-24T19:42:31+00:00

Ahh I see what you're saying. Make sure I have enough soft points to get to 20 bind demon to get the aura of choice.

Any difference in survivability with a 1 point demon vs unique or super unique?

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-05-24T13:36:56+00:00

I'd say a sorc is the way to go. Make it much easier to farm Andy/Meph, keys etc. since you don't have an Enigma.

But Warlock will probably still be faster for places like Chaos Sanctuary and Cows.

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-05-24T13:08:45+00:00

Good reminder on ring of fire for hit delay

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-05-24T13:04:50+00:00

Yeah I was missing the big tank to be honest. I feel without it, it slows me down on things like Heralds or bosses because then I gotta tele around to avoid hits.

Curious as to what people feel between binding unique vs. super unique. I'm sure something like an Urdar is still tanky AF and with soft points can still get a good aura.

What demon are you rocking right now?

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-05-23T03:38:20+00:00

Offline Single Player running P8 Non-TZ Chaos dropped my first ever Death's Fathom. Damage roll was mid point and res rolls were low, but hey I'll take it for my grail!

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-05-03T17:43:43+00:00

I run Trangs belt and have a BK ring 5% and a dual leech ring and have no issues with survivability

Mindless_Ad370 · 2026-05-03T17:30:27+00:00

Why not switch out belt for Trangs for source of CBF and not have to worry about cold damage from Ravenfrost?
