10 things I learned doing 40 uber izaro runs

1) definitely more enjoyable than 1200 voll runs > https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1691695
2) Generally more profitable than 1200 voll runs
3) More expensive to do than voll runs (ended up buying 13 offerings today to finish @6c each)
4) If you have + enfeeble you can face tank pretty much everything.
5) Got zero good enchants on my helm (this leap slam one is actually from my 40th run)
6) The loot from chests has been nerfed considerably from a week or two ago-- I had done 10 or 12 runs much earlier in the league and got exalts and 6L's like crazy... now all I get are crappy div cards and quality gems
7) Some uber layouts are very fast, like today's-- was averaging 5-6 min a run.
8) Did i mention this was better than 1200 volls?
9) Uber Argus is like 3x easier than merci Argus, makes no sense
10) 39 challenges done, just need 25 meeps from bosses for 40/40

i did 36/40 in hardcore on perandus and talisman :)

yes. I played a 9,5k hp chieftan caustic arrow with 7 endu charge. I had 2k hp regen per second as well. It wasn't the fastest killing machine you've ever seen but I could do basically all map mods except no life regen :)

I bought some / find some then considered there were enough lab haters in this game to setup an uber lab service time to release challenge and havn't spent any currencies after some points due to that.

For those who just start this challenge consider just doing a friendly service => Come with a key => no additional cost => Job done.

Ah nice, since you did this so many times, probably you could answer a few questions regarding the uber lab.

Compared to the merci lab:
Do the traps deal more dmg? Do they do things faster?
How much more dmg does izaro deals?

I can't help it, but feel bad, every time I think about uber atziri, where every value is just doubled, if it is the same for the uber lab, then it might be problematic to do it for me, as I don't really want to get rekt in the retarded labirinth.

Considering the loot was nerfed it would worth even less to risk losing a character instead of farming chaos recipe for 6 hours to get the lab item I want.

Until OP replies here
The traps dont hit harder. There's 1 additional drop types (the ones that you hit to deactivate) scattered around the normal traps you see in merci lab.

Uber Izaro hits little harder but no where near as Atziri vs Uber

And there are a lot of mine builds that can cheese uber izaro that does not require any player skill at all.

Traps seem to be the same (across all difficulties) this is because they are % of health, not an absolute figure.

uber Izaro himself has considerable more HP than his merci counterpart, but the damage isn't obscenely more ( i mean it is more... but not like uber atziri). It also depends on his outfit for the day though.. izaro stats/difficulty changes with different gear / traps in final room

Overall i still think uber lab is worth the loot on days when it is relatively fast to do it

All right, thanks for the answers from both of you.

Congrats... the end is so close! I picked Atziri (58 Runs left) and I still have 106 Maps to go.

Should I do 10 things I learned from doing 100 Atziri? :D

Yup. Still no confirmation but at some point, you know why there is silence. Bullshit imo.
