okay, it seems that means gorerider and highlord, perhaps upped fleshrend.
why is lifetap tha important? are, say, 30 % lifeleech not enough?

seems like draculs is a must.

if warcry overwrites curses and viceversa than my planned delirium is pretty much pointless, isnt it?

Delirium's curses won't effect the ubers themselves, and would still be useful against their summons. It actually seems like a good choice to help with crowd control. Basically the plan is to isolate one uber at a time, and lock onto him with lifetap and a melee attack. Keep wailing away at that uber(thus keeping your life full from lifetap) until he dies. You must either have a build that can tank the summons while smacking away at the uber, or one with crowd control that can be applied at the same time as fighting the uber.

Draculs, an Exile sheild, a lifetap wand or a friendly necro is pretty much required. Uber Baal and Diablo are both leachable, but at a greatly reduced rate. Meph is unleachable completely. They dish out so much damage that even a couple of seconds not at full life is dangerous in HC. Lifetap and a quick attack helps negate the risk.

That's one of the reasons that smiters are ideal: a smiter hits rapidly and has a 95% hit rate with no regard to AR or blocking. Thus there is a constant stream of lifetapped health running to the smiter. Course, a solo smiter can't reach near the health cushion of a barb.
