Man Jitan doesn't mess around. I don't remember him summoning that many colliseums at once in the past. He filled the screen in like sub 3 seconds
. Getting off screened too hard to phalanx. Luckily managed to trap him on other side of water and just ran in and out throwing as many phalanx lines as possible

Distract bosses by summoning Fire elementals next to them. They also slow bosses with Defensive Harmony.
Then Phalanx, position yourself so that a lot of Zons hit the same target

Oh my dude thank you! Yeah I'm getting the hang of it, its definitely tricky.

I refer to this recipe:

Contrary to armors and weapons, rings/amulets/quivers/jewels have several unique that are part of a common pool. Meaning that if you were to turn a blue ring into a unique using this recipe, you would only have a chance to get the specific ring you want. This means that you need to do several rolls. On average, you need around 5 rolls for Scarab of death amulet, but ripstars require 5 to 10 each.

Update for everyone:
I have recorded the videos for lvl 105-120 Ubers. I'll update the Uberquest section soon. Now it's just a matter of editing and choosing correct songs and taking pretty pictures :)

Some notes about this trick:

-Don't always try for a perfect placed phalanx, as boss can move away, just 4-5 archers hitting is ok in most cases.
-It work best in open areas (like Diablo fight for example)
-In narrow corridors, place a phalanx next to you, with perfect angle, it will cover the whole corridor with archers, a good place to practice is Act2 Horazon Waypoint
-Phalanx use cast animation, fast cast rate will help you spawn archers quickly
-It seems to me archers don't benefit from attack speed, but benefit from everything else from your weapon.
-You can use a Crossbow if you want to

A new suggestion: Instead of "just" editing the correct songs, it would be nice if you tell (voice) what you are doing in the video and what the idea of it is (the plan to win the fight). sometimes its hard to figure it out by only watching a video.
