Piety, the Abomination.. seems OP

I haven't given up on Piety, but after clearing the whole level for corpses for my spectres, I am at a loss on how to continue. Piety's lightning beam kills all my minions in 1-2 rounds with the lightning beam and I last approx 10 seconds at best. So 10 seconds of fight, 2-3 minutes of preparing.

I can't see how I am supposed to keep my minions alive in that fight. I rely on them to deal damage. I am busy just running around trying (and failing) staying alive. :-/

Sometimes I may get lucky and destroy one of the spawn points for the adds, but usually I am dead long before I do that.

And now I had to give up completely because when dying while clicking, I ended up clicking resurrect to town and well, no way I can get back to that level in time before it times out.

I guess I'll make 30-50 runs and hopefully get 2-3% of Piety's health in each attempt. Frustrating, but this is not a minion friendly fight in any way.


Grab Dying Breath, Temporal Chains, Arctic Breath with Increased Duration (Chain and Gmp if you wanna hit spawnsers too), smack her with that and don't let up on it.

Might help quite a bit.

Ughh hard boss fight and having a shitty laptop doesn't help,
Yeah this boss is insanely hard. My 46 Ranger died 8 times to her and I barely scratched her. I gave up, deleted her and uninstalled the game. Oh but of course two days later I'm back with another toon. Next time I'll try Blink Arrow to hop over the beam. In Normal, deaths just hurt your pride ... can't imagine losing that much xp in Cruel and Merciless (if i ever get there).
...What even kills you then? You don't need to stand anywhere specific so the stormballs should be fine, and the beam should never be an issue regardless (as stated multiple times in this thread, just get right up in her business).
Oh and Daresso's arenas were child's play for me. I loved it. Dominus was mildly hard mostly cause my POS laptop slowed to a crawl with all the storm shit going on. But this Piety bitch is crazy hard. Some good strategies here though.
Max lightning res, get a flask that grants immunity to bleed and piety is easy.

2 important things in this fight:

1. Walk clockwise when she circles with her beam. Pretty common sense but figured I'd mention. If you DO get hit by it, pop your bleed flask so the corrupting blood does not kill you.

2. Kill the eyeball generators as they appear. Not only do they fill the room with annoying minions that block your pathing, but they also cast mini flameblasts which do a lot of damage if you stand still while you DPS piety!
