and tbh even a level 10 helps, and I always make sure I have 150ish of secondary stats on any build for auras and utility gems.

but either way, even with just a flask, assuming a non -max res map, you will still mitigate the dmg heavily, its not like some of these dudes are going 'LOLZ ONESHOT BY UBER LAZORZ, NO REAKSHUN TIME'

1) I think 150 int requirement on such "must have general porpose" aura is bull shit.
2) flasks indeed helps (a must).
3) it was doable, till PoE client crashed and i reconnect with -10% xp, guess its fun to do such content on HC because of such issues.
4) guess -max will make this boss close to impossibro :)

its REALLY not difficult to get 150 dex / int / str .... must. resist. l2p. comment. urge.

she cast storms while you behind pillars, not to mention you have to kill her somehow, unless you expect she die from old age.

I have never done this boss, but this thread makes me wanna load up my standard char, trade for this map and try it out :D! Sounds like fun.

This boss is a little different from what you find up to that point. You really need specific items, spell block and a lightning purity gem. The jungle valley is similar in that you need chaos resist gear/nodes or chaos immunity. So its kind of a surprise when your normal playstyle and tricks just don't work all the sudden.

I'm not opposed to bosses that require specific gear. In D2 I had gear and charms for every type of opponent and enjoyed being prepared. This game is diffenent because of socket colors and links. You swap one thing and it can have a cascading set of problems with resists and leach.

This boss would be a little more manageable in normal gear if the beam wasn't continuous and tracking. If he fired .5 second bursts at you in one direction, without swiveling, you could hit and run and manually dodge the beams.

I don't have a lot of experience fighting it, 3 quick deaths and not much time to figure out what was going on. So maybe like someone said, hide behind columns and attack while the beam is on cooldown, if there is a cooldown.

If her storms are doing significant damage to you, then your build is absolute garbage and you should reroll immediately. Capped lightning res + a single topaz flask is more than enough to tank her storm long enough to walk out of it 100% of the time, unless your build is absolutely trash.

As for how to kill her. How about you try attacking her (I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be insulting but when you say 'you have to kill her somehow' I can really only assume you don't understand the concept of attacking or dealing damage) after you cancel her laser or simply walk out of her storm?

lol

edit: here's a video of a guy with mediocre gear doing the boss on nemesis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh7yj34iIhs&feature=youtu.be

Boss is really not that hard.

Done it too as melee in Nemesis. Challenging yes, not impossible at all.

Swapping one of your auras for purity of lighting will help you a lot. Also fairgraves tricorne might help

If you're prepared (2 topaz flasks and purity of lighting) this boss could be *almost* facetanked

Thx for the vid destro, imo that looked like a lot of fun :O!

Also he did it without topaz flask's (aldo ranged but still...)

Seems perfectly fine to me imo.

Yeah to me too it's fine, but would you beat 1 exalted with me that this boss will be nerfed in 1.0.4 or even before?



It's my only exalt, you have a chance to rip me off ;)

Imo chances are really small that GGG will nerf this boss. Like shown in the video it is perfectly doable if you pay attention and utilize your suroundings.

also GGG does not really have a track record of nerfing things after they buff them...

The only reason i could give as to why it could be nerfed would be if the map lvl is to low, but since i have never done this map i don't know it's lvl and with what i should compare it.

I would estimate a 98% that the boss will stay like it is and the community will have to adapt.

(also i don't have any exalts :EEEE)
