I haven't played most of these builds, I rely on knowledge of others for those who I haven't heard anything from. UHM is a pretty good leveler, what changed?
The rest of the Tier 1 field, basically. UHM next to Bow/Jav/M.Sorc/Claw/Psion/Poison Dru - and probably more T1s I haven't leveled with - is pathetic. The damage is just sad, which means survivability is remarkably bad despite being a Vit build. If it's similar to anything it's Melee Necro, but weaker.
Fortunately there's actual data to back up my anecdotal experience UHM being a rather poor starter: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=81924
Based on the descriptions I'd put it in Tier 3 due to its poor scaling and clear speed by default.
TIER 3 builds are the average builds, that might need full set or at least one sacred unique to properly function
It also has an extremely rough patch from 100-115 due to outdated design that puts Divine Life at 115, necessitating you shrine craft a Bear Stance shield or just corpse push your way through early Hell.
