I would not bother farming duncraig with Lemures as it is straight up cancer.
Thanks for this. Would you recommend Lemures over Blood Thorns for ubers in general? (I have a bowzon this season for farming.)
Also, how would you prioritize MOs for SU weapons and armor? Should UA still be my top priority on the armor pieces?

Lemures is better mid game. Having single target is very important to kill ubers while uninvested Bloodthorns deals with mobs. Lemures will always deal more single target (8 projectiles vs 3 but its not AoE like Bthorns).
Bloodthorns can scale better late game because of various different items tailored for it like Adjudicator or Mark of the Que-Hegan (niche use for Astrogha, Uldy). Personally, I don't use either of them but they exist. It's also the better farming skill because of its AoE.

Also, how would you prioritize MOs for SU weapons and armor? Should UA still be my top priority on the armor pieces?
What Elendilli said basically.
Bloodthorns scales way better in endgame due to certain ubers requiring range/aoe to be efficient for example Bremmtown (Requires AoE to clear the trash, you simply can't keep up with just lemures) or Uldyssian (Have fun meleeing him will take you 3x longer.). Late game scaling using Radiance, Adjudicator and Mark gives you crazy good clear AND really solid bossing potential however it's just too expensive to do every league. I would definitely recommend blood thorns over lemures however it is also much more expensive. If you're using a bowazon to get gear then definitely go for the Adju/Mark/Radiance combo.

I got a question about - enemy resistances.
So if I have 195% - enemy fire resistance will 200% really make that much of a difference?
Someone told me once you hit 200% - enemy res it completely removes their fire res and you'll be doing a ton more damage. this true?

As far as I know, no. Complete immunity to the element cannot be broken even with 200+ pierce.
Most of enemies who are resistant to the given element have around 75% res (correct me if I'm wrong), so to maximize elemental damage dealt to them you need around 175% pierce - 75% to reduce their resists to zero, and then 100% more to double that spell damage.
Alas, you don't need to worry about pierce on UHM pala, period. You gain more health, and with it comes more pierce (in the form of Sanguine Covenant). 17.5k HP is easily reachable mid-game.

Most of enemies who are resistant to the given element have around 75% res (correct me if I'm wrong), so to maximize elemental damage dealt to them you need around 175% pierce - 75% to reduce their resists to zero, and then 100% more to double that spell damage.
Alas, you don't need to worry about pierce on UHM pala, period. You gain more health, and with it comes more pierce (in the form of Sanguine Covenant). 17.5k HP is easily reachable mid-game.
Thank you for the reply. Okay I just got about 225% right now so I think i'm good in that section lol, next is this low ass defense. 93k defense and still getting hit by most everything lol
Any thoughts on

? -30% STR sucks, but does it outweigh huge def, max resists and life on attack?Angelhost
