STR = enough for gear
DEX = enough for max block

if its pure uber, then dont get defiance, pump into salvation or res fire and lightning. also dont use grief, use items that give cb like last wish.

If you are going pure uber, you can get away with the guillames face instead of the expensive COA. The majority to the dmg the ubers do anyway is elemental instead of physcial, so the DR isn't a neccessity. Plus you don't have to waste all those points in strength if you don't use the COA. With the exile and dracs you'll life tap before you die, or if you're super worried about it, just get a life tap wand like someone said earlier.

I go with what frater said. When I used to play my smiter took 10 mins to do uber because he was uber/pvp if you make him pure uber he'll be better for it and you'll finish em quicker.
