lantern archons, stacked = 1hko. I hate these mofos, removes any point in farming that uber (apart from ear obviously).

*cough cough* heroic shields *cough cough*
Speaking of RNG, fuck toraja. The edyrem are literally useless everywhere else, you'd think they'd actually do their job here, but no, you have to spam summon them as they constantly die and hope one of them feels like getting rid of the enemy immunities.
And you're also guaranteed to spend hours upon hours there because there are things that require those greatrunes.

As for things I like? I thought Kalimgrad was pretty cool. So long as you were paying attention it wasn't too difficult, but you still had to think about how to do things. Now if only there was a reason to touch the place after you got an ear.

Yshari Sanctum has to be my most favorite uberlevel. I'm not sure I would like it as much if I couldn't tele through walls, but just how there's so much difference between the acts and monsters, and it's not 1hko, you.. I.. just.. Love it. Can drop anything in there? Great runes (though i've never seen one yet)? Awesome, sets, sacreds, whatever, just, theres everything awesome in here. Awesome quest, bosses that make you think, enemies that make you scared shitless. Those skeletons that rush you down with massive poison damage? Scared the shit out of me. No, really, actually legit scared me. It was great. Demon lords? Scared the shit out of me. I love it.


Tomorrow, I get my charm. Didn't start doing ubers until this ladder, and I gotta say, I'm enjoying it for the most part. What I don't like however, is 1hko ubers with annoying get-arounds (Oh just don't destroy that tower in this small as heck hallway and you'll be fine) OH that reminds me. 100% ctc teleport when struck. Yea. No, don't do that. That's just... No, not without a way to disable it. Or get rid of the heroic shield on assholes like that. Anything tedious is tedious. Not very fun.

yaaas :D steadily progressive difficulty, cool map design, interesting bosses, huge area, lore, god i love yshari so much it actually the reason i decided that median sounded like a cool game to play was when i saw how epic yshari was.

edit: also yshari doesnt have bullshit 1 shot mechanics. the only thing i think should be removed from an otherwise amazing uber is the polar worms. abusing the limitations of a game engine for difficulty is bad game design in my opinion. but other than that FUCKING grade A uberquest. :D

there's procs in the hell section that can really fuck you up though, like the hailstorm from drowned beasts combo'd with the small room space

imo it really sucks that soul of pride has a chance not to spawn. its already pretty annoying to get a good map roll and get to him, but when he then doesnt spawn, thats really lame

The red-armed soldiers' (world 5) fire nova things can fuck you up, even with high max/stacked fire resist too. Pain in the ass if you're lagging or stuck on a wall or something and not able to leech/kill them quickly enough.
