Duelist tips to defeat Merveil?

OP you really need just some cold res to nullify her and facetank the shit out of the bitch.

Folks, thank you very much for all the advice.
I'm going to give it another go now with the proper gems and no sound.

(And just a word of explanation: yes, my account is quite old and yes, I played PoE long time ago but then I wasn't able to for years -- literally -- and now I am at last. So, I'm in the stupid position of being a newb with a years old account.)

tips in advance dont facetank the actboss in act 2

Back in the day without supporter mtx and tags you (like I did) made a new account with another name. I did this 2 times because I didn't like the names. Matrixman or some shit like that lol.

start the game in nosound to reduce your lag

rightclick the poe shortcut
watch for the execute line add --nosound

Hi, where do I add --nosound?

Thanks.

UPDATE:

Seems I need some RL gear first. :) Tried a couple of times and always got strongly lagged, a couple of times even returned to the login page. Turns out my internet speed is too low. Gotta do something about it and then I'll be hopefully ready to fight Merveil.

Thanks.

rightclick the desktop hortcut and go to properties
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile\PathOfExile.exe" --nosound

only real thing which will increase your fps

MORE UPDATE:

Merveil is dead. Thanks, everyone.

After messing with the internet a little bit, I managed to get faster (not without lags but with less lags at least). And combined with some boosts you've adviced, it turned out to be quite a doable fight. I didn't even have to use the portals, actually. What made me successful specifically were two sapphire rings for protections, my copper swords enhanced with gems (namely, Double Strike with Accuracy Support and Dual Strike with Fire Support + my favourite Cleave which I didn't use much this time). And I simply slashed her to death (and then once again, haha).
