Top uber lab builds?

Returning player to the game and I haven't actually done an uber lab myself before. I was wondering if anyone could guide me to builds specifically catered to do uber labs deathless mainly. I'm pretty terribly at avoiding traps, so I suppose something with high armor or regen would be best? I've heard Juggs are great for uber labs since they have a bunch of endurance charge passives to take.

Currently doing my own research on it, but most builds I've found seem to be out dated and not with 3.4 in mind.
Once I post an offer in a thread, I never check back. If I win something, please PM me.

My best guess outside of dedicated labrunners (which haven't changed significantly since the last time I checked and should still be squishy Pathfinders) would be RF or Molten Strike Jugg with a focus on endurance charges and regeneration.

I'm not sure if anyone really still builds for survivability specifically for ULab. MS / RF Juggs should meet the criteria though, and I'm sure you can speed them up somehow as well.
Not a "TOP" build in any sense except for sheer survivability, but..

I posted an update to the 3.4 skilltree for my Scionic Flametank build in the last post in that Scion build thread.

I haven't played the tank in 3.4 except to confirm that it is still working perfectly well with the updated skilltree by running a few maps, so I can't say anything about how it is while delving, but for general survivability and crushing the eternal labyrinth you'll be hard pressed to find any build that does it better.

...You'll find many that does it faster, though. It is a tank build and proud of it.

The flametank wasn't built specifically to deal with the eternal labyrinth, but to be able to survive just about anything in the game regardless of whether I was present or not (so I could go AFK anywhere if needed and didn't need to pay attention), and it accomplishes that by having very high ES and extreme regeneration.

This is the POB pastebin for level 93 with endgame gear from 3.2 and a 3.4 skilltree if it sounds like something you might be interested in: https://pastebin.com/1QNM6he3


...and this is the most boring über-Izaro kill you'll ever see: The 3.0 version of the flametank killing Izaro while I'm AFK in 3m 27s.

(To be fair, that video was with good gear at level 91 or 92, as far as I recall; The point of leveling and gearing where you'll first be able to clear the eternal labyrinth safely comes much earlier, at at the early point you won't be able to kill him while AFK but may have to move occasionally.)


Also from 3.0, a dual Flametank clear of the Hall of Grandmasters to give you an idea of its general survivability at that time. (The 3.2/3.4 flametank is tougher and deals more damage to the ascendancy improvements)

Scionic Flametank 3.2: The classic ES-CI-ZO-GR regeneration tank is back in business, stronger than ever before with 50-60% ES/s recovery during most fights due to creative use of regeneration, leech, and recovery mechanics

I don't think there are any builds specifically suited for the Uber Labyrinth. I can usually get through them deathless with just about any build. The traps is what gets people the most. High movement speed and a good movement skill will help. Sometimes even two of them can be usefull, such as Leap Slam then a teleporting one like Charged Dash. And take your time with the traps, when you see them don't just run through them. Watch them for a bit and figure out the pattern. Also, look for safe spots between the traps, use your movement skill to rush towards the spot where the traps do no damage, then regenerate, wait again, study what the traps are doing, and go at it again. Remember you're fighting against artificial intelligence, they do the same thing every time which can make them very predictable :)

Make sure your character is ready for it. When I can clear out the tier 9 and 10 maps pretty effortlessly then I know I'm ready to do it with little risk of dying.
