I am melee as well. I time when I attack based upon his patterns. He is hardest on normal difficulty. Vengeance/Holy Shield
He does absolutely 0 chaos damage. So, any chaos resistance is pointless. Iām assuming you mean his chain nova, if youre facetanking him, itāll likely oneshot you. Bait it out. Or increase physical and fire resistances. Thatās 95% of his damage. You can go in, slap him a few and go around a corner of the room he is in till you see it. It has a fairly long cooldown of 12 seconds.
It is dodgable. Or if you keep some distance its survivable. If youre deadset on facetanking him, go for a shield and get 100% block rate and block recovery.
OP has been updated with the latest mod version.

Well thats what DPYes (the grim internals successor) said. I suddenly took 66000 chaos damage. It happens like 1-2 seconds after he does that big vertical cleave
Could you please make it so that items in the stash auto stack when sorted via the sort button.
The sound when the bow and arrow follower/pet shoots an arrow is sometimes irritatingly loud and tends to clip.
Thatās an issue with DPYes then, perhaps it lists %HP damage as chaos for some reason, GrimTools shows all the attacks and passives Butcher has, none of them show any chaos damage. I just checked the game files itself as well (as GT is a few patches behind), none of the butcherās abilities deal any chaos damage.
A bit embarrassing. I worked alot in one instance over almost a week now trying to kill Uber Mephisto. Granted I probably wasnāt ready. But now using Trial of the ancestors Iāve leveled to 95 and found a few more interesting items. I went from 30k health to 40k and made poison resistance +60% higher than max due to the debuff for resistances. Something is killing me and I donāt know the damage type. I never figured it out. I tried 24% lifesteal which just meant reallocating endgame damage points to lifesteal and re-enchanting my gear. Iām invulnerable now to most uber monsters solo and can get up to wave 140 or so in trials but still canāt face this one boss alone.
I havenāt yet installed the latest patch due to the game constantly running, LOL. But getting more keys now will be super easy. Is there another maxed out resistance I should increase, is he draining my resistances in other areas and I am not catching it? I donāt feel like poison is killing me. Most of the time it isnāt damage over time. My elemental are 150+ over max since I am a paladin. I can be attacking Mephisto directly or kiting and hoping passive will kill him, I get hit once or twice in quick succession and then it is all over. I see no projectiles.
Lifesteal is really OP in this game, had never tried it, but it is the only reason I survived so long in the trials to get some fascinating super rare rares, LOL. Lifesteal from retaliation is a real thing for sure. And the mechanic is interesting in that some monsters donāt allow life leach, so it isnāt a win all.
I suspect it is one of Mephistoās minions hitting me.
EDIT: Playing longer it is those glowing minions that shoot lightning. Moving around the houses helps but they are hard to avoid forever. Turns out my lightning resist is only a little over 100% past the capā¦
Quick reply: you want your elemental resists very high overcapped (top of my head, 130%). His conviction aura also reduces your defense by about 90% (grimtools can show all exact values), meaning any monster can critically hit you.
Shields with high block can mitigate a lot. Enemy damage reduction also helps a lot.
And yeah, like leech is a bit too strong at times
Thank you. Was still really tough so I tried to exploit as best as I could and it worked, LOL. Time to install the patchā¦
Can you make classic necromancers Bone Armor the way it used to be in the original? Not duration based but damage absorbtion amount based?
It used to be that way but it was either really bad or too easily exploitable. Thats why its set to the current version.
Returned Fire Mages have the same problem as Fallen/Carver/Devilkin/Dark shamans. Their fierballs do a lot of damager despite my characterās 82+200+% over maximum fire resistance
Is Tonic of Reshaping a one time thing, or is it obtainable multiple times?
You get it everytime you finish the Den of Evil quest.
Easy way to get one is make a new character, do the quest and put the tonic in the shared stash.

Lies, Sin, and Death keys. Did I farm these from act 6? What are they used for?
I think some enemies do alot of damage, in response to 11128 above, because burn, frost, and electrocution have different resistances and they are difficult to come by.
Hereās an example of yet more resistances beyond what is seen on the main character screen:
Elemental resistance also works for frostburn, burn and electrocute resistances (so also fire, cold or lightning resistsnces seperately)
Freeze is something else.
Those keys rrom act6 are for the uber event specifically for act6, similar to regular d2 uber event
Wow, learn something new every day. I had recently seen specific resistances toward DoT (Damage over Time) in the passive tree and thought that meant a separation, which seemed natural to me considering Fire and Burn are two different damage types.
The other day I had seen earlier on the thread some other event existed and I simply wasnāt aware of it. The keys. I was unaware of D2 endgame in this fashion or that it even existed until Uber Tristram was brought up in this mod and explained to me by a friend who played Battlenet.
I never played D2 endgame or multiplayer. And I would extensively play single player mods through most of my D2 days. So I naturally took to RoT as an astonishing evolution of these mods!
In the D2 mod Eastern Sun, for example, all the original bosses do appear before Baal in the throne-room.
The damage of both fire and burn is reduced by fire resistance. There is a specific burn duration reduction, which doesnāt reduce the damage per second, but only reduce theā¦ duration. This exists for all the DoTs, but is fairly rare. The second node of Aeonās Hourglass is one of the sources which has all of the DoT reductions.
So I finished Diablo on normal difficulty with a LVL 58 character and 33 of 99 devotion points.
How do I unlock further devotion points without new quests? Can I restart the campaign with the same LVL 58 character and redo the individual quests for more devotion points? Or is 33 cap?
99 devotion points is the cap. You get the remaining 66 by also finishing nightmare amd hell difficulties.
