Uber Atziri as a Melee

I haven't tried uber, although Poutsos has downed him several times as CI flicker/frenzy.

If you look at who is killing Uber, then by far the easiest spec to do it is low-life ranged. No other spec comes close (based on the number of kill videos on YouTube).

Geared low-life spectral throw is the most 'brain dead' out there -- kill enemies off screen, infinite flask capability, massive dps with no risk -- and top it off there is way less desync than melee, further making it a joke to play compared to any life-based melee builds.

Elite/top end/end game Aegis/Saffells/Rathpith/2Handers/etc all are far more challenging to be effective than low-life ranged. There are 1 or 2 'impressive' life based melee characters out there -- compared to scores of low-life ranged that are doing hard end game bosses.


which is not surprising as ranged > melee.

sorry to get off-topic, but has anyone taken out uber with a bow build ?

one of the main reasons the shav/coe combination works is obviously because you can stack amazing amounts of damage modifiers.

a bow build can't stack nearly as much damage modifiers, so it doesn't seem like it would be nearly as strong.

plus your arrows don't get to hit twice.

Seen some crit split arrow builds down uber atziri(with puncture single target). The first bow build I saw didn't even have capped lightning res. Just need 50+ movement. My friend has done it as well with such a build.

It's not hard to imagine, and I reckon he did it under 3 auras?

Basically you just take Jake's setup - remove Shavs, put in 1k Vaal Regalia, spec CI and run Discipline, PoF and Grace.

Why has no one done this?

Low Life OP.
Pain Attunement OP.
Blood Rage OP.
Aura Stacking OP.

Literally no reason to go CI/life-based or >= 3 auras unless you want to self-nerf yourself under the current meta.

And technically put on a higher ES helm and shield. Would be no need for COE with CI.

I wonder if it's possible to get super high ES and face tank everything but the big flame blast. DPS would likely be too low for minion phase though.

DPS should be fine assuming a weapon on the level of Loath Bane.

CoE means you still get spell damage from ammy and shield so still kinda worth using.

Running PoF empowered means you can still get 99% fire to facetank Flameblasts, the large one does around 7-7.5k at 99% so technically it's also facetankable but ideally you don't want to do that since if you get hit by a spear immediately after it's byebye.

Running Grave over PoL here since spear hits are extremely deadly and the storm calls are dodgeable within a reasonable timeframe. Without PoL though, very bad idea to facetank them especially if they stack together.

You don't have to imagine. He has videos. You sound very bitter about something.

All I see in his thread are normal runs.

We're talking Uber :D
Not bitter at all, if he did do it then I'm very impressed :)
