What aspects of ubers do you like or dislike?
Explain briefly why.

/e: Important, you don't have to have a definite stance "I like this uber 100%", there are certain aspects of ubers that you may find good while about other aspects you may be of the exact opposite opinion. Nuance welcome.

So far I've done most of the ubers and I definitely dislike triune - just boring and shitty mechanics - takes a LOT of time and nothing can speed it up. Can't imagine getting the trophy.
I dislike azmodan too - way too buggy - it doesn't show his resistances properly so I'm usually being fked while using thunderstone

I like:
butcher - vulnerability circle - nice idea
dunno, im too drunk, will think about more in the morning xD

Like all.

Dislike Fauztinville on Terror (BRC) because of too high gap in difficulty (imo). Collecting robobrains is my least favourite part in the mod.

Though you have to admit, Marco removing the DW tremors in Terror was a sneaky plus for the player.

Triune is the worst in general, temple spires are god damn annoying at times, boss takes too long and requires a really dumb mechanic (it's dumb because of the fucking teleport deathbat field that the messenger does) where you have to lead a sloth to a mage who has an annoying teleport field that fucks up his positioning and deathbats that force me to go away from arihan.

Favorite uber: Unformed Land, good farming place even when it doesn't have a charm (counting hidden fortress as a separate uber due to charm drop and zorun tzin dark summon) and makes you play carefully instead of charging in there, otherwise you get raped by tri ele and magic/phys dmg

As a general rule I'm not a huge fan of oneshot mechanics unless they are actually telegraphed well i.e. Death projector, volrath, I'm even okay with uldy 1 shot since you know the death strike is coming. That being said there are waaaaay too many 1 shots in this game that have virtually no telegraphing which makes a lot of the harder ubers amazingly frustrating. I usually like to play hc in games like this but with the current state of uber difficulty getting all the charms is basically impossible in hc. My dream is that sigma will be very punishing but fair so you could concievably complete all the content with skill and knowledge in hc. As it stands there are quite a few things in this game that are real bullshit ways to die.

@shnurr214 thank you for making into words what my drunk brain could not - exactly! Too much is a matter of luck and not skill, I don't like improving much and still dying anyway because duh, no luck

I've found triune to be very manageable with the teleport field if you stay about a screen away. sometimes itll still get you, but if you p2 the boss (one person to have a better charm skill like dominate rather than the book charm, instantly charming again when it wears off, while the other person is something ranged and wide aoe like apoc pala or stormzon or something to clear the bats). Plus the dominate 20 sec charm or regular charm oskill (10sec) lets you recover if you hit the tele field and still have a moment to find arihan again and prepare to re-charm him.

Did you know that the FoH rain by Rathma does not always kill, with the right equip? It's true, you can survive it. :D /e: Same for Uldy Death Strike too, BTW. But, fair enough, those telegraph to some extent.
