Introduction

*I noticed that very few people bother to read miniguides and miss some very good builds just because they don't see the feedback on how to do "x" uberquest . you really need advices/screenshots on how to kill the butcher? all you need is the skillplan and gearing to start playing

Q: why not add an uberquest section for build "x" ?
A: you got all you need inside the miniguide . you supose to have fun playing so i don't see anything usefull if i come and tell you all you need to do . if the build is at least a bit unpredictable it will keep you enthusiasmed all your way to the finish line
If you encounter problems in some very hard ubers , post here , i'll be glad to help . i won't provide feedback for The Butcher

Request : make yourself a favour and read the documentation , lfaq ,the newbie help guide , abreviations + search in the small question topic before posting any questions here . I won't reply to any dumb question - this is not the newbie forum

GENERAL GAMEPLAY - to be updated ( DO YOU MORONS UNDERSTAND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? STOP RE-RUNING SEWERS IN 2012 PATCHES ) FUC*IN IDIOTS . same goes for the rest explained bellow : it requires UPDATING

I.The concept
1. Read the docs and make sure you know how cube recipes work (unique creation ,unique uptier , socketing + the others)
2. Pick a character and a skillplan - either you make one of your own , either follow a guide
3. Decide what gear you wish to use - either use the one sugested in the guide , either use different gear that gives you a better impresion about making the build better or more fun . Check the docs when you want to do that and pick the gear you think you will need for your build ; make a list
- i can vouch for all my miniguides that they use the best gearing and skillplan as i've tested all possible options found in the docs . this may save you some time

II.Getting started
1. Create the new character and go for act 1 ; set /players 8 before leaving the camp
2. Proceed at killing all stuff in your way , colect all gold/runes/gems/rings/jewels/amulets you find on the ground . Keep the gold and runes , uptier the gems , sell all others for MOAR gold
3. Upgrade your initial gear with the stuff you find on the ground . aim for more damage and defence . Make jewelwards for small stats and resistances boost , socket gems and jewels to boost resistances
- other usefull cheap early gear : Summit RW (El in helm) , Rebel RW(El in armour) , Lumen arcana(Ith in armour) , Pax mystica RW (Nef in staves) - a cheap way to get a source of teleport - keep it on switch gear till you can acces Jitan's gate or another source of teleport (DA)
4. Kill Andariel and proceed to act 2 .

III. Leveling and gear upgrading till lvl 50 LC1
A. 1. Go trough the regular game and level up by killing all monsters in your way to the next acts
2. Upgrade your gear acording to the list you made in the Concept part. Start with the gear that provides more defence and resistances
3. Taking this route , you will be lvl 50 in end act4 or early act 5 , having few low tier uniques equiped and few low level runewords
B 1. Once you got to act 2 , go to sewers , kill Randamet and all other monsters and RERUN those sewers till you are level 50 (/players 8 all the way)
2. Upgrade the gear acording to the list you made in the Concept part . If the items you require have not droped yet , gamble for them with the gold you've colected so far . Uptier the uniques to the highest level you can wear (check the docs to see level requirements and stats requirements of the next tier )
3. Taking this route , you will be level 50 before going outside the Luth Gholein , having (at least) t3-t4 uniques full geared and maxed resistances

Pros and cons
- option A - provides a better gaming experience and gives you the proper idea about the game difficulty BUT you will have crap gear
- option B - provides power leveling and decent gear ; the regular game becomes a joke . Rerunning sewers may be annoying for some people

IV. LC1 MAP
1. you gain NO XP in hatred Tran athula , this means you can go there right before level 51
2. Make sure you got at least 5k defence and some heal pots; zig-zag walk to avoid getting hit
3. The challenge is easy for most builds even with crap gear . For those who got trouble doing it, see next step

V. Picking the proper mercenary
1. If you play a melee character , hire a Bloodmage to help you by dealing tons of elemental damage from behind
2. If you are ranged (bow for example) hire a Shapeshifter to tank for you
3. If you allready got meatshield (summons) , hire a Barbarian to boost your and your minions' damage with Gift of the wild

VI. The ennead challenge K3KBA MAP
1. Go to K3kba hatred and kill the eastern Necromancer(necro 1 from screenshot) till your class charm drops(rerun if needed) . You will do this part on /players 1 to avoid leveling to high and miss the challenge (before level 81)
2. Put your class charm inside the cube along with any jewel and transmute

VII. Leveling and gear upgrading till level 89 LC2
A . Advance trough the regular game killing all monsters in your way .
B . Power level in Terror k3kba + Death projector
*Upgrade the gear with stuff found on the ground (uniques->arcane crystals, better runes/jewels)

VIII. LC2
1. Your oponents will deal heavy elemental damage that pierces trough 200 of your resistances . This being said , you must upgrade your gear to the safe point . you will do so by creating few honoric gear parts MO'ed with elemental resist to hit the amount of resists mentioned above
2. Equip the gear with resistances , summon Tal Rasha and his crew , kill all his friends to remove his imunityes , kill Tal Rasha and transmute your class charm+a perfect gem inside the cube while the swirles are still on .
*you will do this step on /players 1 to make it easyer

*removed the SS showing you how to cheese summoning ubers . I've upset Laz :/

IX . The Black Road Challenge (BRC)

Trial of fear - summon and kill the butcher , transmute the class charm while the swirles are still on .
- your /players 1 Butcher opponent got similar difficulty as /players 8 Smith . A joke for most builds
Trial of Greed - run terror IOTSS to colect the amount of gold needed (666.666 gold) . Equip gold find gear to get the job done faster (TU lionpaw , Summit RW helm + tir runes) . Get the gold needed in your pockets and transmute the class charm
Trial of contrition - Do it on your way to Terror Baal .
- same as for Tal Rasha , you have to kill the minions so you can remove the immunityes of main boss
- your opponents deal physical damage . bring defence and damage reduction gear if needed
- Kill King Koth and transmute your class charm
Trial of knowledge- acquire the 5 brains , put them inside the cube along with the class charm and transmute
- you will deal with 3 types of monsters : Harpylisk (immune to poison and magical spells) , Neon fiends (immune to fire/lightning/cold spells) and Necrobots (immune to physical damage)
Trial of Blood - drag the two priestesses close to eachother and kill them . try not to kill the first one too fast and not have enough time to kill the second one and restart the trial . i sugest you make them follow you in the spot you see in those 2 screenshots .

X. Minigames

Visit this topic for tips

XI . Uberquests

Dungeon uberquests


1. Creature of flame - not stronger than a regular elite , should be easy to kill . Those monsters inside will lower your resistances a bit (-50? ) so you may want to stack some more


2. Infernal Machine - you will deal with the same monsters as those in the worldstone keep . Get some good resistances
- the Machine is usually situated in the left botom side of map


3. Death projector - lure away some of the Mechanics (badass scourges ) so you won't get surrounded by them when you want to get out of the death laser's way and face an instant death
- the laser is going in a clockwise direction , starting at 4 o'clock . there is a pause of 5 seconds till the next laser begins


4. Azmodan - you got an easyer job now since the number of monsters that spawn in that level is reduced and you don't have to face so much lag caused by procs

- Azmodan is situated in the middle of the uber . either jump over the wall and kill him either lure the monsters arround him to a distant corner to remove imunityes and kill them first . Azmodan got an aura that provides imunityes to the monsters arround him ;the aura doesn't reach the distant corners of map ; the aura is gone after he is dead


5. Rathma square - kill the crawlers on your way to Primus . they will respawn after 10 seconds so i sugest you hurry up and leave them behind
- Primus isn't a hard one . he deals physical/magical damage casting Bladestorm . See red arrow for his location


6. Cathedral of vanity - a similar encounter as at the Death projector but more dangerous this time
- enter the big room and lure the Nuns in the small entrance room
- with them out of your way , blink over the wall in the big room and destroy the Crystall ball (works the same as the Projector) to remove monster's imunityes .
- kill inarius for Idol of vanity
- Summon secret boss (Inarius's ghost) , kill his minions then him to aquire the Spirit of damnation


7. Toraja - summon edyrems to remove imunityes
- bringing a build with minions will allow you to easy farm the uberlevel for some GR
- make sure you got decent defence , DR and regeneration


8. Vizjun - very crowded uber . Full of dangerous monsters that will respawn after they die . MAP to MCS
Option 1 : the fast way - get high FRW (WoW/wolf stance/shadow refuge/acid trance aura or Rampage/Rapture/arcane fury) and rush straight to MCS . Zig-zag trough the enemyes to avoid getting surrounded and raped(teleporting doesn't work here) , get to MCS , use purify on it ,take the charm and save&exit . MCS is dead after 1 succesfull purify .

-if you're a necromancer (no source of FRW) equip 1 or 2 disengagement rings , kill few monsters at the entrance untill Celerity will proc then rush to MCS . the amount of FRW generated by Celerity will last till you reach MCS .


- can be done in less than 20 seconds if you know what you're doing

Option 2 : advance slowly , killing all monsters in your way (you need heavy damage for this) , having some source of heavy slow (either slow target from gear or Chrono field if you're a sorceress) . you will need tons of life and defence + some decent way of regeneration (life leech/life on striking/eagle stance/vindicate /others) to stay alive . body recovery from the middle of a robot pack got close to zero chances . you need to do it from first attempt

-can take few minutes and requires a great tanking character with great killspeed and life regeneration

Summoning uberquests

1. The butcher - as stated above at trial of fear , he's not a real danger


2. Binding of Baal - see LC2 tips . get 50 more stacked resists (375)


3. Assault on mount Arreat - see trial of contrition tips


4. Akarat - not as dangerous as it used to be (his damage is fixed now) . Kill a few of his friends to remove his immunityes and proceed at damaging him . if his immunityes come back , kill another friend of him to remove them again .
- he may cast inner fire and instant heal if the fight takes too long . make sure you bring serious damage to make the fight last less

5. Lord Aldric Jitan - bring defence and damage reduction
Option1 : summon in the Hall way and enter halls . Portal home to Harogath , enter Anya's red portal and reach behind them . Lure them outside the hallway 1 by 1 and kill them all .
- Jitan's friends cast singularity after death (see TU Jitan's kamon armour) . make sure you don't step into it and die


6. Legacy of blood - unless you're a good tank , bring some (lol)summons
- summon your army and use dark summoning. The oponents need to hit something to remove their imunityes . feed them with your own summons and kill them . Should be very easy for any summoner build


7. Judgement Day - same as above ,you will need (LOL)summons
- for part 1 , summon your army and use dark summoning . The edyrems need to be fed so that Imperius and Malthael can spawn (the Avatars will be summoned 1% times when Ulidysians hits you or your summons). they will kill your summons really fast because they use Tremour . keep summoning more till the Avatars appear .
- stacked heal pots works wonders here
- part 2 is easy once you get to summon Edyrems
- easy for a summoner necro because his minions are magic imune


8. Brother Laz - this is your ultimate challege . See those topics for tips : 1 , 2
- will require lots of practice
-fire shrines are cuting his life to half when they explode . if you find any of them you're lucky to 1-2 shot him . you may want to re-roll the map till the fire shrine spawns (there are always 2 shrines that spawn in that map)

Uberlevels

1. K3kba - see map above at Eneead challenge . should be the main farming arrea for untwinked builds till they can acces better gear

2. Iotss - the place for farming gold
* Malic shoots Pwnishers at your direction but they can be avoided
* Lucion also got some heavy poison hit but he's melee
- bring good poison resist and gold find gear


3. Khalimgrad - same as K3kba , a potential farming spot . Has lower drops dough (imo)
- kill Ethereals to remove Avatars imunity

4. Tran Athula - bring good defence and damage reduction . those arrows deal heavy physical damage
- the next farming spot after K3KBA . has great Unique drop bias
- see the map above at LC1


5. Fauztinville - see tips and map above at trial of knoledge

6. Bremmtown - get serious amounts of life+defence or meat shield
- slow target/attacker is also usefull .
- a joke for SoR/Retaliate builds
- either kill all howling toads in your way , either use the teleporting spell to advance and leave them behind .

- the Dragon may cast an energy beam similar to the one of DP/Crystal ball . make sure you don't run into it


7. Kingdom of Shadow - again ,bring tons of life and defence/DR/avoid . the cityzens hit hard . UREH MAP
- use a source of FRW or a low timer teleport (blink/DA) to get to the narrow bridge fast ; zig-zag run to avoid getting surrounded and raped by those inside the uber .
- once you got on the bridge , you need to survive few seconds untill the teleport timer is gone so you can advance . heal pots /moon symbols are your friends. use them every time your HP goes bellow half the max value
- if you play a glass cannon build ( low hp and low defence) , the bridge part goes like this : portal to town , summon edyrems ,re-enter portal , the cityzens will hit the edyrems instead of you , blink away as far as possible , open and enter new portal , repeat till you get to Juris Khan
- you will encounter pwnisher tourets in your way that will lower your life very fast if they hit you . bring smaxed poison resist


8. Duncraig - the ultimate farming spot . Old Duncraig map --- New Duncraig map
- get high defence/damage reduction/avoid or meat shield (minions) . those slain souls hit hard
- a source of aoe stun or heavy slow will make it a joke
- keep your eyes opened and run away when you see barels thrown in your direction. they deal 50k magic damage when they explode= instant kill for almost all builds
- get smaxed fire resist when fighting with Assur . he deals heavy fire damage on top of you (flamestrikes)

- some more tips may be found HERE

Heroic Levels - annoying oponents with crapy drops . don't waste time here

Heroic Bosses

1 . Belial - bring smaxed poison resist (aquire a poison resist shrine if possible to make your job easyer) . poison shrine on = immune to poison
- if you don't find him inside the heroic level , summon him at one side of the river then blink on the other side . he will leave his summons(henchmen) behind and jump after you . this will make your job a lot easyer because those Henchmen hit VERY hard . he may summon more henchmen when you fight , ditch them again if possible or kill them if you got a source of heavy damage
- can be cheesed with poison spells with high damage/duration


2. Bull Prince Rodeo - the only heroic boss worth farming . he got an UMO drop bias
- fight him in a corner of the map / wood fences to avoid his spells . should be easy


3. Qov tsin - deals HEAVY elemental DAMAGE
-with proper gear , his spells may heal you instead of damaging you
- he pierces trough 250 of your resistances , this means you need to bring 450-500 stacked resistances and 95% smaxed resistances . some flat elemental absorb will make your job even easyer
- SU heavy belt/SU heavy boots/Indigo RW/others will help a lot as they provide 5% increased max resists each .
- SU Buckler/SU boots for flat elemental absorb
- Thai runes (15% all resists)

- when gear check is complete , go for him inside Stony tomb lvl 1
- bring serious damage and -200% enemy resistances to the type of damage you will deal
- casters rape him very fast
- he may teleport away when he's in danger , even outside the map . go after him


4. Astrogha - the ultimate Heroic boss . casts Frozen orb when scared (instant kill)
- it has some statues close that heal it if they get destroyed . try not to do that . this is the worst problem of melee builds as most of them got heavy aoe damage
- a caster with -200% enemy resist to the heavy damage elemental spell it will use , can make this encounter a joke , killing Astrogha in 2 seconds
- being a ranged caster , you got higher chances to avoid the Frozen orb coming in your direction
- it may also teleport all over the Mausoleum . scared arahnia

Overall tips
- in order to avoid accidental encounters with witches , run along the edge of the map untill you reach the other part of the act with no witches . in act 1 it's easy to know where's the Cathedral entrance as it is ALWAYS situated in the north-east direction .
- once you got to distruction , attempt the easy ubers and get the charms . when you got them , farm K3KBA for the 500 extra signets and better gear . better gear=can try harder ubers . get those harder charms then go farm Tran athula for Ultimate gear . when ultimate gear is on , go for the rest of very hard to get charms . when you got those , go back at farming Duncraig .
- if you got no luck finding proper gear when farming K3KBA , use the set parts and the few SU's you found and trade with them on Pandemonium for the gear you really need

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*I've seen many topics where some guys asked "what's the best build" ->I'm sorry to dissapoint you but there isn't such thing as "best build" . After i played every build available, here is the ranking system i would use for builds on a scale from 1 to 10 :


*Kill speed : how fast can it kill a screen full of enemyes(with random resistances , not just to 1 element) . Uberquests taken in consideration : Duncraig , Vizjun , k3kba , Fauztinville . (/players 8 )
1= slow..2=..3=..4=..5= decent..6=..7=..8=..9=..10=Very fast
*Safety : how good are your chances to survive vs a screen full of enemyes . Uberquests taken in consideration : Duncraig , Ureh , Vizjun , Bremmtown . (/players 8 ) . Terms : defence , life , avoid, damage reduction , chance to block , life regeneration , source of teleport , AoE stun/slow
1=glass cannon..2=..3=..4=..5=decent..6=..7=..8=..9=..10= "Fort Knox"
*Gear : how expensive is the (end)gear this build requires
1=all gear parts are very expensive (SU's/great RW / crafted jewels)..2=..3=..4=..5=needs some expensive gear pieces..6=..7=..8=..9=..10=can do great with decent gear
*Fun : did you enjoy the build
1=booooriiiing..2=..3=..4=..5= decent..6=..7=..8=..8=..10=Very funny , kept me smiling all the way
*Gameplay : how hard is it to be played . how much "skill"/experience/brain does it require
1=requires a vast experience and a good tactic . not for low IQ players..2=..3=..4=..5=requires decent MXL knoledges and experience..6=..7=..8=..9=..10=any beginner can do great with it
*Efficiency : does it use the best gear and skillplan
1=sucks , requires many changes..2=..3=..4=..5=decent, can use a few changes..6=..7=..8=..9=..10=perfect
*Build rank : ( KS(kill speed)+S(safety)+Ge(gear)+F(fun)+Ga(gameplay)+E(efficiency) ) / 6

GAMEPLAY
- buff your character with VoJ , Rapture , Superbeast

- heal with Vindicate , activate SA when in trouble
*Scourges are not worth bothering with . they require investing into a holy/unholy tree and dedicated minion gear to be viable . you don't need them anyway . the only reason why you would want to put a point there is because you may need them for 2 minigames
*Ressurect oskill is not a must , you can do great without those extra 5 tanks . you got huge killspeed , vindicate to heal , 50%DR , 9 sec SA , DA to freeze packs , few sources of strong reanimates , all you need to stay alive ; in other words , cheap and strong

Rings: rares with 1 all skills and spell damage
Sockets: crafted jewel with spell damage and summoned minion life

Gameplay
Early-Mid game (before lvl 90) : - you have to focus on squeezing the most spell damage as you can in order to be a quick killer in early-mid ; this means you won't be able to have decent spirits untill level 90 because all your gear is focused on spell damage . also you won't be needing them because you can do all the tanking with the decent defence and regeneration you got
- level up using the stances you got and rush to aquire 10 arcane shards to create the TU
magister
- summon your wolves (you want them arround to get the defence bonus and the faster cast rate bonus from spirit guide) , keep eagle stance on for mana and life regen , use Apocalypse as main attack (fire damage for all screen) . use Flash for fire immunes (multihit lightning damage spell in a short range)
End Game (after lvl 90 respec) - summon your wolves , activate thundergod , cast shamanic trance (adds mana regeneration and boosts the number , life and damage of your spirits)
- summon your protectors army (they provide decent tanking and cast bloodlust - very nice spell damage boosting)
- use Cataclysm as main attack (fire spell damage for all screen)
- use Rune of ice to place traps that will damage and freeze nearby enemyes (similar to glacial nova but in a shorter range and longer duration) ; use that and the Frozen crown (piercing cold damage spell) for fire immunes
- for both fire and cold immunes (very few) use Disintegrate - few KK magic damage in a short range (1-shot everything) . it comes with a spell timer (arround 7 seconds) ; spell timer can be reduced with "all skills" gear and Bad mood rings (+16 to Disintegrate) and can go bellow 2 seconds . Bad mood rings are optional because the spots with dual immunityes are very few and Disintegrate doesn't worth so much trouble (your spirits will handle those immunes - spirit walk on top of your enemyes) . better focus on fire and cold damage
- MO your gear to hit -100% enemy fire and cold resistances and at least 100% summoned minion resistances (you get 25% from ST and 15% from Seal of Ureh)

MO all gear parts to 350% ED , mo the crafts with -EPR . try to hit a total of -100% EPR (MOAR damage for snake stance and venomous spirit)

GAMEPLAY TIPS
Early-mid game - summon wolves , SoR as main attack (3/2 WD ,it will make up for the lower weapon damage ) , t-slam for crow control . SB for poison/physcal/magical immunes (you will find very few of those)
- stance dance between Snake stance (MOAR damage) and eagle stance (MOAR regen)

End Game- a whole different story here . the end game requires you to have :

Eternal RW : Disco inferno oskill - 3/4 WD , costs 1976 mana . it's like a bloodstorm clone but instead of fireballs it throws WD balls . beware of the manacost https://2img.net/r/ihimg/photo/my-images/545/screenshot007j.jpg/
SU canis venator : normal barb shields got 2% block . Canis venator has +2% block , this means 2+2=4 -> 2x more block . so for a normal shield you got arround 37-38% block , when you equip Canis venator you got max block (75% ) . 4515 total dexterity required for max block when this item is on . that ammount is what you will reach with all end gear on + all charms (i got 4610) , without using SU wandelkoning

- those 2 are a "must have" for this build
- snake stance provides 50% slow target , SU ashenwind 33% . max value of slow target is 90% from 1 source , 95% from multiple sources . 50% +33% = 83% . this means 2 more zods (5% each) are enough for 93%
- summon the wolves , activate thunder god
- use Disco Inferno (each disco ball lasts 4 seconds , shoots in all directions , has no timer -> you can spread balls all over the screen)as much as your mana can do (2 or 3) with snake stance on . cast 1 (1-pointer) fortress (lasts 15 seconds) and switch to eagle stance (massive mana regen) , when full mana again cast moar disco infernos with snake stance then fortress with eagle stance repeat repeat repeat
- disco inferno and fortress spread the poison and physical damage all over the screen , then the procfest beginns : elemental procs all over the screen + tons javelins( 1/1 WD) and (So)rocks (3/2 WD)

I didn't create these guides (all credits goes to ChuckNoRis), I only recovered it from lost forum - which some others already did, but they didn't bother with keeping original format and the result was....well, not pleasant...

You can download this guide in PDF format: 2012_ChuckNoRiss_Compilation.pdf (1MB)

Bravo, too bad i cant give you cookie today.
I however will give you one tomorrow

i always laugh when i saw that guy guides....

keep deadfall
amulet : beads etc funny

I admit i never like the person itself, but guide is still a guide.
Either people will blindly follow or learn from to adapt from it is not my problem.

There was some sort of flame-war because the guide build doesnt work for player.
Which is understand-able, but the player shouldve learned to adapt while the guide-maker should always be helpful (because not everyone have skill like korean broodwar player).
There was huge war about 'trademark' of a build which is pretty much stupid.

Dunno why Im ranting this, but finally able to see the guide is kinda nice.
It got a long history in old forum (i think even before the hacker-threat).
This guide was designed for Omega. so player have to update skill build and late game gears themselves.


If i want to take a credit from this guide, Incredible Hulk was my original idea.


EDITED:
Cookie'd as promise.

It's nice that he made guides but was it really necessary to act like a cock gobbler to everyone? Plus practically every guide had beginning gear and Jesus/Zeus gear as if mid game didn't exist and then he would spew hatred to newbs that wondered why they couldn't find Beads which, without it,would be unplayable. It was nice to make guides but sometimes the guy would be worshipped which was kinda gay.
