May I ask how? I'm a Witch Necromancer.

Fixed the grammar for you. Necromancer can be either the easiest or the hardest build to to Labyrinth on. On one hand you need to allocate a lot of passive points into your minions to do damage and on the other you need to allocate enough points into defenses to not die to traps and Izaro.

Trying Lab with Zombies and Spectres can be painful if you're not careful. Non-Baron Zombies at the current state of the game are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ garbage; they die constantly and you don't want to be standing still Desecrating in the boss rooms. Spectres can be good but only if you already have the Soul Weaver Ascendancy (and even you must be careful they don't die to traps) but in all likelyhood, if you're doing Uber Lab it's probably to get Soul Weaver anyway (I lost all my Spectres to traps on my second Lab run)

Having a Summon Skeleton Spell Totem is great distraction and passive damage on the boss (use the Unique Jewel for some Skeleton Mages).

Your best friend in Lab on a minion build is Summon Raging Spirits: auto-target fire bombs! Cast a couple, move, cast a couple more, move.

Spec your passive tree for Life and Mana. Get Mind over Matter (it saved my life twice in my Uber Lab run). I did Uber Lab with 3.2k life and 1.8k mana with MoM and SRS on my second attempt (I tanked an Izaro slam in the first one and he crit me).

Have a movement skill; Shield Charge, Whirling Blades or Flame Dash to get you through traps, over ledges and away from the boss' attacks. Play smart. Don't tank boss attacks. Learn the trap layouts.

Ascension is not a "necessity" for every character. It is a powerful bonus that is, quite rightly, very well guarded.

All but uber lab was turned into a joke in 3.0. Merc can be a problem depending on build, but what would be normal and cruel is easy as it can be now.

may i ask how i m a witch summoner ?

Grab some life regen from the tree , a stone golem, and a blood grip amulet so you no longer take extra damage from bleeds. If you are still finding the traps a problem grab 2 koams way rings, an endurance charge cluster and then while you are at max endurance charges you should be nearly immune to the traps.

If you are on HSC league give me a /w And i will run you through lab on my necromancer. Character - BVBlocker

just don't die then, no more "wasted" time ;)
("wasted" on your perspective, since it's play time... how can you waste time when you play... is it work for you?)

Lab is easy if you fly though and ignore all the traps and chests. I typically just do it for the ascendency points and dont bother finding all the keys, shrines, chests. Yeah uber trials suck, and i havent really spent all that much time at endgame (i play HC so things happen lol)

But think of labs as two options: ignore everything and race to the final boss fight for the points/enhance or try to fully clear it for loot. Full clear is difficult and takes FOREVER...but the rewards are pretty high imo.

If i could get ascendency points elsewhere i probably would though. Its a pain any way you look at it. Some people do like the traps though, and clearing it all is an accomplishment so i guess its not for everyone, just wish they would give ascendency points outside of the lab/trials so people could skip it if they wanted to.

This game is a 100% time waste, move on have a better life.

[[IHRB] (P)(R)oland]

better life playing cs with russian raging kids? :))) ok man!

You can use lab alts to make boss fight easier. But yeah 2nd to last lab and last one, are kinda joke.

One thing to note tho, is the boss mechanic that not a lot of people know about is you can just wait out the boss fight in the first two encounters. But this does mean he will have more hp in the last encounter.

Best only try if your guy has at least 4k life or really high leech, and are doing at least min of 5% of Izaro's life per single hit.

If not then don't bother with the lab. You'll just wast your time getting through it, all the way up to the last boss encounter, and then just proceed to get one shot each and every time.

Gotta remember that some enemies in POE are meant to be trolls. Their purpose it just meant to teach you the notion that some mobs are meant to be skipped over, and you don't need to bother killing them. Just like a map can roll with just ridiculous mods on it, so to can actual mobs. Mobs that have all ele resist and reflect and so on and so on. When you see one of these mobs, just skip over it, cause they don't have any better drop chances than any other mob.

I wonder why my previous post, on position 7, in this thread got deleted...
