Using a Minion build, here's a few tweaks that transformed my Mephisto attempts from "That's practically impossible" to "It's a pain, but I could farm him if I wanted." These would also help your Uber Lilith attempts, if needed.

* Endurant Faith charm - almost essential. Doesn't make you invulnerable, but you can't be one-shot. You can do without it, but only if using a DPS Charm instead is the difference between skipping mechanics or having to dodge/tank them.

* Use both Inexorable Reaper AND Blood Mist. Blood Mist can get you out of trouble when you're about to die, but Reap teleport is both helpful to avoid chase-downs from projectiles as well as getting out of the way of beams / streams (like the last phase, the red soul bullet minigun). Also helpful for collecting your skills in the last phase (unless you're unlucky and it's your last skill collected).

* Hewed Flesh on your boots so your Warriors can keep coming back.

* Cast Mage every ~3 seconds. Either you are bringing one back to life, or you will trigger the on-death effect of Pact of Bone.

* If/When you die, just re-log. There's a bug where if you die, then re-enter the boss arena, your minions no longer inherit your survivability buffs, so they melt. It's not worth the aggravation.

Everything else is whatever you like best for your build, then learning the things you can tank (via Endurant Faith) vs the things that you have to Reap / Mist away from. If it takes more than a few mins to get through any given phase, you may be better off getting better gear then trying again.

Good luck!

Does anyone yet know which boss has Pact of Bone on their loot table? Doesn't seem to be Beast anymore, but I could be wrong/unlucky.

Wish I'd known that in the final boss fight when my Warriors kept getting wiped out, so I'll hopefully save someone the annoyance.

So we don't know yet how we'll be able to manage cooldowns (we don't know the state of Lucky Hit or things like Decrepify), but two things are apparent:

Sanguivor: 11x DPS bonus (20 Souls x +50%[x] per soul) (From a recent MacroBioBoi video)

Pile the Bodies skill variant: up to +300%[x] damage. (From a recent Wudijo video). This is built up over 30 hits, so less relevant for trash mobs, but potentially transformative for single targets or really high health settings like high Pit/Tower pushing.

Long story short, we're looking at a potential 44x damage multiplier from ONE ITEM and ONE SKILL VARIANT. That's insane, especially if we can figure a way to cast it semi-continuously.

I can't say AotD is my favorite build in general, but it may end up being super powerful.
