Question..how do you typically kill bosses? I'm struggling with them big time. Also when you say to save AC for rings. Is that like a cube recipe? I can't find anything on the documentation. Anyways enjoying the build so far!

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.

Or if you are still early game (norm, nm, early hell) you can just keep bosses in place with Fire eles/merc and Trinity Arrow them to oblivion. Of course it's wise to learn the mechanic that tranvanhieu showed early on, it will be needed.

Doing the sunless sea uber right now. Killing the mini bosses is causing me trouble but ill try tranvanhieu strategy

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.

Because they're so common and you can get +50% mf on it thru lottery.
