Well, I haven't had too much trouble with her, but people say she's hard.

She's not hard, she's just either annoyingly long to kill because of her high resistance, or if your defense is low then you'll be a glass canon against her if she hits you.

She is absurbly easy to beat with a well built tremere, ventrue or toreador since if you have enough blood bags you can just keep spamming dominate 4 to kill it from a distance or if you are toreador abuse celerity and auspex to blow her away before she can move.

Pestilence also does absurd damage to her. Probably not enough to spam kill her with it but clans that have it also have other devastating means of dealing with her. ;)
So pestilence is a nice plus.

yeah, she really isn't that hard. She'll probably surprise most first time players but once you've seen her in action. Figuring out what to do isn't difficult.

The only thing notable about her other then her unique look is that she's one of the few bosses where melee isn't the fastest option to kill her.

Because let's be honest Potence 5+Celerity 5= complete cake walk of all bosses

I think a lot of players often neglect putting points into their disciplines and instead spread them too thin in other "normal" skills.
But you really need at least some vampiric buff later on.

By the time you reach Ming at least 2 of your disciplines should be at rating 4 at the very least and your preferred combat method should be at 3+ along with dodge and/or parry 4+

Yup! I usually max 2 of the disciplines that have most synergy with my preferred playstyle for the playthrough with either maxed or nearly maxed one combat skill.
The rest is put into one social skill, defenses, and i level hacking/lock picking as needed when I can't bloodbuf it. I leave some points floating for this always.
Hasn't failed me yet. :)

Doing a Gangrel playthrough of the CQM now. :)
