Finally unlocked Uber Elder. I've watched Kelyvnn's video and I'm going to give it a shot. Wish me luck guys. :)

Good luck! Play aggressive but to be sure that you don't die try not to facetank for the first time the shaper balls (1 you can eat probably but 2 or 3 successive may kill you if combined with other sources of damage while you are not on full dps).
Rest of fight is easy!

And make sure you always leech from the vulnerable target!

Whew tough fight! Thank you for the tips they really helped out. Lost out my first attempt, had enough pieces to try again and then got them. Died quite a few times...I had two portals left and was thinking they'd have me again...but they were both about dead and I just teleported in and barely attacked and then that was it.

No Watcher's eye...just a worthless staff and some i86 Elder items which I hope are worth something.

Damn...I finally did it. I believe it's time for a beer. :)

Gratz man! You will always remember your first Uber Elder kill! The fight is quite easy when you are geared well with this build, you will learn it in the next tries it will become trivial.

It's all about learning the fight, after that it becomes easy!

Thanks! Yes after my first blunder it was much easier...dodge the balls, attack the right opponent and just keep attacking. The DPS from this build really took them down fast...I look forward to getting better at this fight.

There are quite some things that i make sure i always check when fight UE with this build:

- Purity of Ice instead of Herald of Ice
- Blood Rage for 50% increased ES recovery
- Enfeeble instead of Frostbite (Enfeeble was buffed against bosses this league)
- Use Enlighten lv 3 or higher (linked with Discipline and AA) to be able to keep Bonechill linked to AA
- Arctic Armor (Shaper/Elder slams mitigation)
- 2x Sapphire flasks (if possible with additional movement speed)
- 1x Basalt flask for Shaper/Elder slams (physical damage)
- Soul of Yugul (for even more cold damage mitigation) - 85-90% of the damage in this fight is cold damage keep that in mind.
- The Wise Oak for higher DPS (your cold resistance is probably highest due to PoI)
- The Vigil jewel socketed in the slot of Brute Force in Templar area -> 35 seconds of Fortify with just 1 Vigilant Strike successful melee hit - this is HUGE during the fight, it allows you to eat a lot of damage (20% less damage) from bad positioning or full tanking
- 1x Quicksilver flask for slow moments (when Elder slows you)

- Shaper is the most dangerous target in the fight, always keep an eye on him
- i keep my Quicksilver charges for Elder attacks that slows you, when it start to drain your energy in a 180 degree area, use Quicksilver flask and Flame Dash away from that slowing semi-circle.

- most dangerous moments of the fight are when Elder is vulnerable/Shaper is invulnerable but it hits you, you are slowed and you cant leech enough from Elder and need to reposition your toon fast while avoiding Shaper attacks. You can use Sapphire flasks in these moments for higher mitigation also.

- always kill those adds that spwan degen on the ground, that also slow you
- Shaper beam can be easy avoided, just step out a bit (or flame dash) when he cast it and continue the DPS
- Shaper barrage(balls) which is most dangerous skill can also be avoided just by side moving a bit(or flame dash) when he start to fire those balls and continue to DPS the vulnerable target.
- you can hit also an invulnerable target with Vigilant Strike to get Fortify :)

As long as we can leech at full DPS we cant be normally killed

-When they both get to 25% and both become vulnerable you can consider the fight done, just nuke the Shaper fast and after that The Elder and this is it

Nice craft , i may say you were quite lucky getting %intelligence with only 1 fractured mod but poor base for our build. Sorcerer gloves are indeed best base but price of fractured 54+ intelligence sorcerer gloves is extremely high.

And you cant find them on market to be honest...

Thanks.

I don't understand why you say I was lucky. It was a 1/3 chance to get the 5% int mod, as far as I understand synthesis. Each glove was 54+ int fractured mod, plus a +mana regaled affix. Total two affixes per glove. So either I got 18-20 intelligence, 5% intelligence, or +maximum mana. The 51 intelligence is just random luck -- I would just have scoured and crafted with a spite essence had I not gotten it.

In other words, "luck" to me means getting 6% int when you corrupt a ring. That's a ~1/40 chance! But 1/3 chance gives you a pretty good chance for a good result.

So you're saying I should just get an ilvl 84 sorcerer's base and 2 ilvl 83 other gloves? And the synthesis will synthesize a sorceror's glove?

3x Sorcerer gloves fractured will guarantee you the result is also a Sorcerer glove. With only 1 pair you will have 33% chance that the result to be also a Sorcerer glove. :)

Ahh. So the synthesis result base is one of the three bases you put in. I haven't seen this described anywhere!

Thank you for the tips, this is great stuff! Let's see I did hardly any of this during my first fight (idiot) besides having BR, AA and a Quicksilver flask which I have normally (I did have one Sapphire flask too). During my 2nd attempt I added PoI but kept just the one Sapphire flask, Wise Oak, Basalt and that's it. No Yugul and I forgot to swap Frostbite for the Enfeeble curse so I was playing really recklessly, lol.

I will pay more attention next time and hope to do it deathless. :)

Remember me not to try again to enchant boots in Uber Lab with "Damage Penetrates 10% of Enemy Elemental Resistances if you haven't Killed Recently" enchant.

Yesterday evening did 72 usages of Divine Font (30 lab runs with Twice Enchanted + occasionally dark shrine with additional Divine Font usage) and didn't see a single penetration enchant.

This is kinda ridiculous keeping in mind that even if the spawn weight of this specific enchant is 4 times lower than most of the other boots enchants (25% compared to 100% according to poe.wiki), i still got 3 times the "Adds 120 to 180 Chaos Damage if you've taken a Critical Strike Recently" which has the same spawn weight 25%.

After 72 usages at least i settled on "Adds 45 to 68 Cold Damage if you've been Hit Recently" enchant for both pair of my endgame boots.

Hi illian

grats for the 40 challenges. I normaly make 36 but this league its to much synthesize contend and i hate this bullshit.

Was first time lucky to get a decent ring that fit my setup (after 80c)

is it worth it to try a ex slam or should i craft a inc dmg mod on it (hightest costs also 1 ex)

thanks for the uber elder tips. I died 2 times this league and thanksfully kel killed him for me for challenge.

If i look to gear from sasoriotoko i am a noob in gear and so its clear i cant kill him. SO much inc int items i can only dream about :-)

your gear i cant dream about as i cant imagine to have such things. :-)

And as i am not as good as that boy who killed uber elder with lvl 40 i need help from other guys. :-)

So also a big thank for crafting 6 % inc attributes.
I killed hilloc over 40 times til now i i forced him to stay in research as that encounter comes nearly every jun map. But i had not ONE item to get the slow inc attrib craft.
i hate such rng gatet things in this game. The recipes should be accessable after a amount of doing a encounter. Its ridiculus that you need in average 50 bosses in synthesice to have a chance to get a cordex.

the only thing what let me play further is the comuntiy behind this build :-)
so thanks a lot to all helpful people who make this build really really enjoyable also to a player who is mostly dump in reaction and strategy :-)
this build gives me the chance to do most of content.
