It's been awhile so I'm rusty in my D2\LoD-ing.
From the last time I did play, in general uber trist builds don't always overlap with general Hell mode.
Smiters were\are popular for uber trist iirc, due to the specific conditions of Uber Tristram. IIRC, uber tristram conditions are hostile to magic\elemental AoE skill builds.
I've played various smiters, finished Hell mode with it, and he can be a great boss killer. He's pretty slow, if he's just using smite as a main attack for everything else that is non boss monsters though. I never pursued Uber Tristram myself however, since I was getting a bit burnt out on the game.
You might get more answers and feedback over at the Amazon Basin.
Good luck sir.
