Mindflay and Slayer are your main damage sources. Alternatively you can use Apocalypse for leveling (TU bonesplitter + rare crafted boots later on, eventually crafting them as well) instead so that you can invest the points instead into your passive damage buffs

TU Bonesplitter with a UHC pala? I think you meant TU Long Staff.

Either works, I personally prefer having shadowmoon for the absorb and defense. Trading offense and defense around basically.

No no no. I correct myself. I think you meant bonebreaker. bonesplitter is a nec scythe

So I should max both slayer and mindflay late-game? I'll try apoc for leveling

Loved that spell in Diablo 1!

If you go apoc, either maxing mindflay and slayer, OR maxing Vessels and Symphony can work out well. MF+Slayer (might) be better because you'll have an easier time dealing with immunes overall, plus you'll have a damage source than can get pierce, unlike slayer. Apoc is especially useful in Act 3 because everyone and their mother is lightning immune, so having something to support slayer like Apoc is fantastic.

For the majority of ubers, what type of skill plan do you recommend for the UHC? Straight-forward Mindflay and slayer, with vessels and symphony running?

► Show Spoiler

I'd max Stormlord, Tainted Blood, Blessed Life and Mindflay. Just put in enough points in Slayer to get the 4 beam Mindflay.

Cool I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Imperius set, Lamha, Asheara's, smax mindflay, enuff pts in slayer for max beams possible, enuff pts in sod for 1sec timer, smax TB, stormlord, sbeast, blessed life rest in vessel, 1pt all skills (use holy influence aka, oplites). Ammy and rings are the best +light -res possible, ammy with +5sk, rings with +1sk.

Gz, now you can do all ubers in the game. Except for uldy.
