How did you get that far?I'm getting my ass kicked by everything,my most successfull character got to act 4 normal.Got any tips on how to git gud?I'm currently spending most of my gold on potions because everything's so tanky I keep running out of mana. I'm playing a trap assassin,level 31,using Wake of Fire trap with Leaf runeword.
In order to do the ubers, your char has to be at certain level, as you gain 6 stat pts per lvl and also able to put more pts to your main skills. I chose the wolf druid because he has Fury, can afford the best run/walk speed and the biggest hp pool ingame and he is quite tanky (though barb would be the best option - see Metalistas/Anonymous playing a barb in all mods where he has cLoD skills + some new skills - weapon masteries, find item/potions,
reduce vendor prices 
outstanding skill, btw

etc.).
The 2nd thing needs mentioning is that the mod is heavily based on gold - for gold you will need to buy resist potions, because resist penalty on each level is much bigger than in cLoD/MXL. You gotta stack as much %Gold Find as possible, because old MXL tricks with selling rare items/runes in throwing knives are not available here. I have 558% total GF and it's still low. Also, having a reasonable amount of %MF is also nice so you can see more unique items, many of them are very powerful on their own. My gear consist fully of uniques with such necessary attributes as +60 to All Resistances, %DR, Poison Damage Reduction and flat damage. I'm using Hwanin's Justice Bill as a main weapon, because it has Ice Blast proc - freezing dangerous enemies can save your ass many times.
Finally, you should look for some good Souls (red-colored when dropped). There are many souls designed for casters (more than for melee chars). Also, upgrade all gems you find, as high-level gems are extremely powerful (they require lvl80-100 though). I even remade the game many times for Gem Shrine spawn in Stony Field to exploit gem upgrading
Lastly, I'm not sure the assassin is a viable char to do the ubers in Nezeramontias mod: in the Gauntlet 99% monsters there are untargetable so you will need a tanky char there. Stamina potions are your best friends. Considering another ubers - Kagero Dungeon is like Yshari Sanctum - the deeper you go, the harder monsters you will face, but it's worth farming for set itmes which are dropped by Andariel clones at 3rd level there. Act V uber is a joke because you can exploit Dark Summoning skill and summon monsters near the entrance, because you need a really fast killspeed there - if you get owerwhelmed, you'll need a big AoE skill to quickly kill melee monsters (Zeal, Frenzy, Fury, Meteor, Blizzard etc) before you get wrecked by ranged monsters. Even if you manage to finish the regular difficulties, your assa will need to gain many additional levels (moar skill and stat pts to invest) before you enter any uber.
Good luck!
