any advise for uber elder?

"

Phase 1: Shaper phase 1 - Focus Shaper down to 75% HP while Elder is invincible. Shaper will generally only use his ball and laser moves in this stage. Elder will use his ice attacks and his death circle.

Phase 2: Elder phase 1 - Pretty much identical to the previous phase, except now Elder is vulnerable and Shaper is invincible.

Phase 3: Elder Summon phase 1 - Both bosses become invincible while Elder summons a lot of Null Portals that summon tentacle mobs, some of which being the really tanky ones that can leave behind permanent ground effects if left alive for too long. Shaper will still behave normally.

Phase 4: Shaper phase 2 - Similar concept to the first Shaper phase, except the bosses will use different moves now and you must bring the bosses to 50% HP. Shaper will begin to use his slam, and I'm fairly sure that Elder begins to use his slow in this phase [although he may use it earlier]

Phase 5: Elder phase 2 - No new moves beyond those introduced in Phase 4, hit elder now

Phase 6: Shaper Summon phase - Both invincible again, but now Shaper is summoning while Elder attacks. Not nearly as scary as Elder summon phase imo.

Phase 7: Shaper phase 3 - Once again, target Shaper, get him down to 25% HP, although this time Elder is pulling out all the stops and has his slam, tentacle spam, and spinny blobs move.

Phase 8: Elder phase 3 - Target Elder, otherwise same as Phase 7

Phase 9: Elder Summon phase 2 - More Elder summons, but this time Shaper is a tad more aggressive due to the slam and what not

Phase 10: The End - Shaper and Elder are both vulnerable. You still have to kill Shaper first, but the Elder can be brought down to low HP at the same time. Kill Shaper and then take Elder down and the fight is finished.

Hi,
Someone posts this build in reddit(level 68 kill uber elder). I am just curious, is this build still viable in 3.8? There is little information about 3.8 comparing to previous version 3.7 or 3.6 so it maybe hard to guess.

The second question is how many exalt orbs do I need to defeat uber elder(I need a cheap build, not good at making currency). I played Impale Cyclone Slayer in 3.7 but died 4 times(24 portals) because I am not good at playing melee build and dodging all critical attacks. I just want to find a build that can be a 3.8 starter build and viable for all content(uber elder).

Hey, i want to play 3.8 as my first ssf league and I wanted to try out a spectre build for quite a long time.
Do you guys think this build is viable for SSF, or are the few uniques madatory?

thanks in advance!

You say we need to Despawn our Spectre before Summoning the high level ones but Why exactly? If you have for example 4 Spectres if you make the first 3 once you make the 4th it will automatically overwrite the low level Spectre like it always does if you miss spawn... right? Making that not really nessisary?

By despawning it you add it to the pool of monsters for that area that can be spawned by your Desecrate, because it counts the Spectre as just died. This is how I understand it.

This build is not viable as a starting character in SSF because your necro is only able to naturally get 2 spectres - 1 from the gem and 1 from the passive tree.

To get additional spectres, you need:
a) Vis Mortis - unique chest*
b) Rare +1 spectre chest from delve - stupidly rare
c) Bones of Ullr - unique boots
d) Bound fossil -> craft +1 spectre boots.

If you can get any of those on another character, then you can play with a spectre summoner in SSF! You can play with just 3 spectres, but 2 is definitely underpowered.

For SSF, people generally go with Skeletons or SRS because they don't rely on any uniques.
