Best HP/ES for normal malachai?

[Sugar Show]

Must defeat him

[jbridso]

You should have somewhere around 1500 HPs,resists at least 50%+, pref. capped at 75%, and top end healing potions. Other defenses like ES, armor, and evasion are nice, but not necessary for normal/cruel.

Try farming levels for a bit in Dried Lake. Spend those levels on some HP, and try to find some HP gear. And since it's normal, infinite retries!

Get level 36 for sacred life flasks. Use transmutes to make them magic and then alteration to make them instant or half instant speed. Get a granite flask and use it before taking any big hits. With proper flask use you can get through it with 1k health though I would recommend more.

is it better to have more health or higher armor for malachai?

Health.

Why?
Because health works against all damage types, armour only mitigates physical hits. Also some side effects of higher health pools such as increased effectiveness of life leech (default: 20%/s cap), life regen%,...

Life.

The hits are simply so big that they ignore any armour you might have.

Good rule of thumb would be minimum 1.2k life per end of difficulty, but more is always better.

Learn the boss skill patterns on youtube and dodge the hits.
