Bremmtown. I got the charm eventually, but doing the dragon in 1m 30secs seems impossible. Anyone managed it with this build?

Astrogha seems hard as well since the build's skills are aoe it is hard not to kill things accidentally and heal him - do you use an oskill?

your best bet is probably blood thorns, if you were using lemures before. Blood thorns hits in a small aoe, so it should clear ghosts in bremmtown fast and its aoe shouldnt hit statues at astrogha.

Raged Bloodthorns Shield will help you kill Astrogha. Just attack, wait for him to blink and attack again over and over. If he blinks near a wall and starts spawning traps near the wall instead of ontop of you then do not attack him because it will splash to the trap and heal. Basically you stand in an open area and spray your attack, wait to confirm traps spawn ontop of you and repeat. If he blinks into a closed space, you're kinda fucked unless you can make him blink out

Yes I've been using Blootdthorns. I don't have that shield though. He does keep getting in a corner (always seems to start in the small north-west room) and then the towers he spawns are hard to avoid with my damage. Maybe I'll just wait for the patch, I'll probably be playing something else by Friday.

Astrogha is one of those bosses that this build struggles with. Without the ranged BT shield or going full poisondin with Decard Cain's heirloom, most UMP will have difficulty with this boss. Personally I lvled a Magic Missile Zon to 125 and I was able to melt Astrogha. I also wanted to try other classes so that helped at the same time, but not everyone will want to go that route.

keep searching for the shield imo.

I've done all the 125 ubers with my UMP using only Lemures except Xazax and upgrading the Dragon Claw which I used Winter Avatar for.

For Astrogha, you can Divine Apparition in and hit him with 1-3 Lemures depending on time before he summons towers or teleports away. Then you get out of range until it doesn't show his health meter, wait a couple seconds and repeat until you down him.

Bremmtown is really rough with Lemures so I used Winter Avatar from

Two questions:

First, how hard will 1.3 nerf this build because of the new skill arrangements and the fact that SoD will be magic damage instead of Poison and have a bit of AoE?

Second, how will 1.3 impact the Cold version of this build(using Lemures and DA)?

Symphony doesn't work on this build anymore, it's now a ranged skill. If you cast Grim Presence, then you won't be able to cast Symphony. If you cast Symphony then Grim Presence, Symphony will do nothing. Once you put a point into Possession, you won't be able to cast Symphony period.
