Alright, so I've come to the conclusion that it is a more effective approach to identify and utilize multiple characters for boss farming purposes.

I currently use a paladin and a druid.

I have difficulty with Belial, astrogah, cathedral of vanity, kab/laz/mrx, uldy, the void, and the witch. The rest is pretty much on farm, thankfully having been able to do over 500 boss kills on druid alone.

I have some pretty challenging goals that have led to rage and frustration; enough with that. Dedicated players require utility earned through multiple venues -- it was naive to think I could one shot everything, and timely, with a single character.

If you would kindly offer your insights, it would not go unrewarded :)

250 terror meph runs and 250 destro Nihlathak runs don't count...

anyways, is your pally using tantrum? cause that melts kab and pretty much any boss o.0 Sacred armor + teleport = easy life
Cathedral? summon/malice necro = prime time

Astro --> UHC Pala with 199 light pierce and loads of light spell dmg. @Seekers killed him in one lightning res drop on p3 one time, if I remember correctly.
Belial --> Tantrum Pala with 95% poison res (I believe someone told me that he doesn't pierce, so just stack to the max cap and watch out for his burn nova. That's what will get you. If he drops physical while on the stacked tantrums, he dies almost instantly.
Kab --> Tantrum Pala with 6x Fire Armor or Endless Loop Light Belt. Basically anything that has blink/teleport when struck, so his balefire wont instakill you. Still takes me a few deaths to get him, but I've only done it three times.
Kab Upgrade --> Tantrum Pala with tri-ele dmg (Krys Pala helm, Hanabigami quiver, whatever others you may find useful, ele dmg charms i.e. tran, six angel bag). Hardest one for me is the Ultra magic which, ideally, you would use slayer, but mine isn't strong enough to do that one without help.
CoV --> I also use Tantrum Pala for this, even though its usually a suicide. I lure as many nuns and inarius into that first room as I can, blink over the wall, run to the left and around to the bottom of crystal ball, since it starts its lightning counterclockwise to the right, spam tantrum, try to avoid beam and extra enemies if you can. You basically just need single target dmg for this to take out the crystal ball. Lightning/Cold sorc can do this with TStone or Abyss pretty easily if you can avoid the nuns.

I've never done those other ultimative ubers though (laz, mnx, uldy, void, witch), so can't help you there.
