Fudgeeeeee! By now the amy is poof. I cry.

Can't access the TSW website either. Really hoping this is temporary.

Edit. Duh me. Anyway, I can access the site..

Lol. Nah, the TSW website is https://tsw.vn.cz/. Also, TSW servers are back online.

And now I am back on realm. Of course the game I was in is poof though. :wall:

Could you be more specific and show us the gear you're wearing. Also, with what kind of monsters you're having trouble?
High amount of life leech and fast moving/pouncing is essential to survive in some specific areas. How much resist do you have? How many life leech?
Post your armour/jwelery gear so we could help you faster.

Hi Stealthmaster,

thank you for your reply. Here are items that I am using. I am not able to do most of Ubers, as I said I tried Tran Athula, Fautx, Khalimgrad or Duncraig, which are considered by the guise as easy...

1) Your stats are mediocre to start doing Duncraig and TA. If you haven't completed BRC yet you have to go back to Terror difficulty and do it in order to get BRC skill and hp bonus.

1.1.) You have to eat 500 signets before you go for Duncraig and Tran Athulua. Yeah, I know, it's annoying to do endless Nihlathak runs for signets (most hateful moment in regular game :derp:

), but it's essential. If you have trouble with mobs in Halls of Pain or with Nihlathak himself, go back to Terror difficulty (life leech penalty is lower there), start killing mobs in Worldstone Keep. They drop set items. Celestial set is not hard to gather as it doesn't have ancient armor/spangenhelm/crown which are more rare to drop. If you see them falling down fast, try to switch /playersX to 3 or 5 which grants you more drops.

1.2.) While staying on Destruction difficulty, start crafting a new Doom amulet. Try to get at an important TTAD modifier. Also, your MO's choice seems to be very chaotic. Bonus to poison spell damage is not needed at all because it only affects direct melee hits like Hyena Strike, not Pounce! When you eat 500 sigs, spend, for example, 450 on dexterity and 50 to strength if you have trouble with str req gear.

2) Your resists are low (if I see correctly, you have +178). Of course, in some areas they are useless (TA) but still, try to get at least +300 Poison and +200 Fire resists for some other areas. I suggest you to take a look at ALL of your jewels and craft better ones with 2 random resists and 2% life leech. If you're lucky, you may find some other great modifiers on them such as Faster Hit Recovery, flat life bonus etc.

3) Also, what charms did you get for now?

4) Also, Spirit of Vengeance is completely useless for this build. She gives you reanimates but they won't provide tanking for you, because you pounce and they stay behind. Sure she gives you life and damage percent bonuses but they are negligible if we compare how much damage you lose without Curare (literally, a lot). Thus, you'll have lesser chancs to survive).

Dear Stealthmaster,

thank you for that comprehensive insight.

I forgot to mention about my helm:

► Show Spoiler

and some random craft gloves with - psn enemy resistance, dex etc.

1.1. I am able to kill on destruction with no problem, dying in Nihlathak temple and World Stone Keep is less frequent than in Uber levels. I will try to get more signets.

1.2. I did around 200 crafts to get this one. is TTAD that important?
I just checked that 'Target Takes Additional Damage of (121 to 150) has alvl 80. Should I decrease ilvl of an amu to craft it or some other necessary affix have more?
I MOed my gear with FHR, resist, +str/dex. I know that Curare does not work with spell damage, I wasn't aiming to increase that value.

1.3
My charms:

1.4 I am back with Curare but dying a lot. I just tried to do (without luck):
5/11 Azmodan
6/11 Lord Aldric Jitan
7/11 Judgment Day
2/6 Quov Tsin

So is the only way to farm signets and I should start another char like summoner/reanimator?

TTAD doubles your damage on cursed enemies. Yes, it's important to have it. Even if you get +0 skills you should keep an amulet with both Doom and TTAD modifiers for now. Later on, you can always roll a better one when you are bored.

Azmodan is really easy with your gear. You only have to get a low density map without Unseelie Dames (if you hear 'Darkness falls' when you enter Azmodan's dungeon, make a new game before you get surrounded) and, what is importnat, without Alpha Centaurs (Colosseum curse will finish you very fast). Go inside, proceed to the central area, kill Azmodan with Hyena Strike.

Summon Lord Alrdic Jitan in the inner area. Quickly go back and start killing outcoming guardsmen one by one. If you see Jitan coming out before the guards either make a new game or lure him away from guards so he loses his immunity (happens quite rarely). From my experience, he is spawned behind guards most of the time. Okay, you finished all his guards - what's next? You have to tank him long enough without dying to prevent his healing. It's possible as long as you stay in the middle of the location (if you fight with him near the corner, fortress will get you hitlocked). You already have 100% open wounds, so he won't regenerate as long as you keep jabbing. Dodge arrows, drink potions, distract him with summons. Just keep trying and you'll succeed.

JDay (the 1st part) is not that hard. When you see an avatar spawned, distract some Nephalem from him by summoning fire elementals, guickly go and kill an avatar before he casts Sacred Armor. Stack poison resists with honorific items to tank punishers. If you still having trouble with him, respec to Bowazon and kill him with Barrage with prebuffed Ecstatic Frenzy.

QT is very hard to do with pouncezon because our only damage will be physical and magic, and I have never mentioned that pouncezon is heroic bosses killer, so, yes, respec works best here. If you have enough fascinating shrines, make a fire dedicated crafted gear, respec to a bloodzon and kill him with Lava Pit.

P.S. You also have to try farming Legacy of Blood summoning uber for a 4% LL charm and a precious trophy, which has 15% TCD. I hope you didn't have any troubles with Bartuc because you are almost invincible there as long as you don't step on Immolation Bomb chests.

Wish you good luck
