Viper Napuatzi in cruel - WTF?

Did her on 5 chaos res.
She died in 13 seconds.
(on both characters.)

She does not need toned down because you can't press space bar.

I refuse to learn how to play the game and instead say I pmay for the "story."

In 13 seconds she doesn't even get to any of the dangerous phases and only a tiny fraction of players will have such an OP build for that fight.

So kindly shove off, you've no say in this.

Ok well I fought her with a normal crappy build and it was fine. There is not a single boss that needs to be toned down. Most could use being tuned up.

I endorse the hell out of this message. Bring the rest of the bosses up to par with A1 Geonor. That's peak campaign difficulty.

To all you guys "yea she died in 10 seconds" I hope you guys are having fun with your meta glass cannon builds having 10 second boss fights and just wiping entire screens in 0.1 seconds... I'm currently playing a (mace attack/leap) warrior which is fun but also challenging at times however all was doable even with lower tier armour before going to Utzaal. I upped my armour rating again before going to Utzaal as it has been a while but seriously guys... the monsters there are way too hard compared to all the previous areas if you ask me. they make my full armour tank build feel like I'm playing a flimsy wizard boy wearing a bathrobe and a thong with a sign on my back saying "come f me".

As for Viper.. zero chance on her at this time... I'm not the best, yet not the worst at dodging and all that jazz but the poison eventually just drains my HP so insanely fast (I have over 1200HP) even with the maximum of 20% chaos res(is there even higher % items?) which I was able to find. Her attack speed is also absolutely insane... Surely I could get some Sunder off, totems, slams and try avoid her like the plague but that's not my jam as I'm not a coward like Jamanra and Ketzuli!

Whenever I get close and try to get some attacks off I just get poisoned continiously by her because she just attacks so insanely fast. It's either, take poison damage, or do no damage at all as a close combat melee fighter... She just also keeps hanging in or around by her toxic pool allot of times which makes it even more frustrating as a melee character.

Whenever I take a breather to get some HP back her shield also just recharges back in 3 seconds. Even if I get her till about half HP, then the spear boys come in and it's almost always a one-shot if you are already poisoned, especially the last part where they all shoot in a line... guys I have 4K+ armour on lvl 65 tank warrior... what the hell... I personally feel poison, or chaos damage or whatever it is considered is way too punishing and it lasts way too long in general even from the normal mobs. I've also tried using the designated charms both chaos and poison but I hardly seem to notice any of their effects really.

TLDR.. mace attacking warrior, can DPS her pretty well, learn patterns etc but poison and attack speed is just way too much.. I'm pretty confident to say I'm not going to have much trouble with the actual A3 boss after I beat Viper eventually as this one is way tougher also on normal difficulty.

I dunno she wrecked me in normal until I learned her, and after that I didn't die in cruel.

You're going to have to master the fight eventually.

I don't like it because nothing up to that point outright required a dodge roll, so I died a few times looking for alternate strats (you should not default to dodge rolling everything, because it's one of the riskier options), to find out there isn't any. You just have to dodge roll that one.
