viewtopic.php?f=40&t=40052 <-- here is the guide, its a bit outdated but it should be fine.
also a tip for hc, i wouldnt recommend doing these ubers:
yshari sanctum - while trying to farm the set pieces for this build the last zone has alot of fire absorbs, difficult to kill. doing the actual uber will kill u 100%
spirit world - this uber can become immune to dmg and can bum fuck u hard, wouldn't attempt
any 130+ uber - yeah guys lets do uldy, laz and void on hc
any 135 uber - sam & deimoss on hc viable?


I'd say uldy is totally doable deathless with some builds

Laz and the new Void too. Sam/Deimoss no way.

Actually the summoner wannabe in the Uldyssian uber is more of a pain to me than Uldyssian himself.

In the final fight you have lots of space to manoeuver at least.

Uldy, Yshari, Laz and Void are all doable on Hardcore. They're not easy no but doable just need a strong build and have a lot of experience with the fights.

For all these, my pick would be a trapsin. That slow effect on catalyst trap makes everything so much manageable. Trap are also great at taking down groupies and totems.

Sounds nice and good luck. :)
Dmg can be lacking at some point but keep us posted!


Just reached lvl 120 and got my first 120 charm (wheather control) ... until now 2 times my life pool was very close to zero :shock:

i am curious how it will continue ... i am not good with ubers up from 120 and normally they are often more or less a corpse run ..... duncraig in the beginning and quov tsin, and some i never did successfully .... and first of all i will try to survive - completely different playstyle now for me :bounce:

Quov Tzin is a breeze if you know what you are doing. You just need 85+ max res to fire/light/cold and a bit of flat phys dmg reduction and you'll be able to tank his beam no problem.

Flat phys resist MOs on rings and amulet are enough.

Ideally try getting hit a tiny bit at the edge of the beam to see how your character handles it before trying to kill.
