Maybe UHM isn't great for bosses. But if it easily gets me through zones past cows and K3K, I at least have a reliable farmer to grab items for better builds.
I understand the importance of having a "starter" character ; just feel UHM is a bad choice for that. While the guide indeed says:
" Tiered uniques will carry you up to some 125 ubers easily without even farming for signets. This includes all Rifts." - I dont think is true; maybe it was before but if you wanna farm Dunc u won't be doing it in TUs. My guess is a low geared UHM cant farm even K3K at any efficency, let alone melee mobs in Dunc.
sorry but this is completely false because you can easily roll through k3k with every single piece of gear as a Quiet crafted sacred honorific with spell focus, vitality, magic find and fire spell mystic orbs. even your weapon can be honorific or crafted. you don't even need high rolls so 2-3 quiet shrines is enough for this setup which can be easily and reliably farmed.
if you're wondering why this "build" and other variants don't appear anywhere on this guide is simply because this guide sucks.
As a general guideline (not just this guide) don't blindly trust everything a guide has to offer because it's not like every guide creator is the most knowledgeable person about everything a build has to offer. Some of them create guides based on their experience and share it with everyone for their own reasons whatever it may be but that doesn't mean the guide will be good.
not relevant to uhm rant below
There is actually zero incentive to make a guide and help other people for the person writing the guide so it's understandable that they haven't continuously updated their guide beyond the basics. I understand this sentiment because it's the same reason I haven't written guides because not only do you get dogshit in return for writing one, but also having to update your guide every new season is painful and boring since you have to re-play that build everytime along with several other reasons that i cba to explain.
My point is... if you're struggling with a build, ask for help in discord if you actually want direction for your guides ("general" or "new players" channel). You'll have people with far more experience and accurate suggestions to fix your problems more often than not. Also don't trust guides blindly. And lastly if you want better "guides" then complain to the devs about rewarding people with something (other than self-satisfaction by helping the community...) for writing a decent guide or whatever.
