This is what im thinking... (lvl 90)

Stats
Vita build

Skills
20 Holy Shield
20 Smite
20 Fant
20 Conviction
not sure which arua i should add to (light cold or fire)

Gear
Helm: Giant Skull /w 2x 15 ias
Ammy: Maras
Weapon: Ber'd Astreon's Iron Ward (giving 53 cb)
Armor: Chains of Honor
Shield: 15%ias Up'd Hoz
Gloves: Lay of Hands? (does damage vs demons work here?)
Ring#1: Wisp
Belt: T-gods
Ring#2: Raven Frost
Boots: Up'd Goblin Toe

Charm: Anni+Pcombats (no torch b/c i want to pick it up)

Life tap wand on switch

My strat is 2 have a higher conv then meph until he's dead, then switch over to fant for the other kills, i'll have 88% cb and max resists as high 85 light resists, 20% cold absorb, 15% light absorb and 20 light absorb.

With Fant
6 frame attack - 3500 average damage 88% cb
With Conv
7 frame attack - 2250 average damage 88% cb

Damage is considered without laying of hands, b/c i dont know if it works on bosses

Stick with Dracs. The helps, the tap helps, nice def, and if you need to, you can use zeal and leach some life back.

Also i know you said you were going to use a lifetap wand, but you might want to consider an E Exile or a LastWish PB. The extra aura + tap that they add is great for ubering.

After that advice, i am switching to a last wish pb... but one question... does damage to demons affect bosses? Arreat says they're demons... but i dont know if they are affected or not...

Okay #1 don't use conviction for mephisto. Fade and beat his ass down with fanaticism on... believe me it doesn't really matter =\ my friend doesn't even fade.

#2 put 1 point into zeal

#3 you can make a zealot instead of a vindicator for more damage against the mini's monsters... you really don't need max smite and besides zealots are cooler imo

Um'd Up'd Hoz or a Sanctuary (100+ @res) in an elite paladin shield (you could have like a cube to switch between the two and have something cooler in the hoz than an um)
Marrowwalks (TAP CHARGES, nn gay switch off)
LWPB + LoH for max smite bp + monster cb
Tgods
Raven/something
Maras/whatever idk
CoH cuz it pwns with maybe enigma for the minis
Kira's or Veil of Steel; Guillaume's if you have <50% cb but LW gives 60-70% which is enough

max standard vindicator skills w/ 1 pt zeal
or
max zealot skills with 1 pt smite (http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=425449)

That's what I'd use if I were to uber on a vindicator. HOWEVER, I uber on my bvc with 1 pt frenzy. Cool

Just some notes:

-You don't need any more than 50-70% cb (griefpb + 50% cb on gear would be fine)
-You only need one source of renewable tap
-Ubers are EASY so stop worrying, you can beat them with the worst gear ever... if you want I can post a s/s of what I used the first time I beat ubers (for laffs)

i think zeal would piss me of doing ubers. i'd rather just completely focus on the ubers, not all the minions around you as well. they can go after. but thats just me

Deadly strike doesn't work on smite.

Also, you need under 7 ias to reach the max smite bp with slvl 25 fanaticism.

Um'd Kira's + Hoz w/ Um or w/e would prob be best w/ marrowwalks for boots

As long as you have prevent monster heal and lifetap you can kill them with any character with almost any gear.

i was pretty sure prevent monster heal doesnt work on the ubers...

It works on uber diablo (anni diablo) at least, i guess i never checked on the other 3.
