Empowered Scholar Cannot Be Killed!!?

[Player Old_Man]

I am Level 60 and have a good arsenal of weapons and shields. I have completed DLC 1 - Jack's Casino, DLC 3-Bounty of Blood, and almost all of the side missions. However, I cannot get past the Empowered Scholar in DLC 2 no matter what I try. I have been close a couple times, but I always get killed when there are none of the other lesser enemies around to get a Second Wind. Is there some secret to this that I am missing?

Which phase do you die in?

[Player Old_Man]

Never in the first phase. Once in a while at the end of the Second Phase trying to get out to the first rock. Here lately, I die as they are going out to the second rock or right after the last phase begins.

What character are you and what level are your weapons (mayhem or not?) and what mayhem are you playing on.

[Player Old_Man]

I am playing Zane, Mayhem Level 1.

I suspect it's the immune bug. I have never had success in killing it in Mayham 8 to 10.

If you fail to kill it in less than 20 mins, his immunity will increase health to a point where this bug will appear.

I will never go back to this Boss.

Mind you, I have never died for nearly 4 hours fight it and running out of ammo. Thanks to others players in game. I held it for a long time with others joining me in my open connection.

Watching other player gun do no damage to Scholar. It's amazing they don't bother to fix the scaling for this part.

Player Old_Man, if you're gonna play in Mayham 1....try to get guns at Mayham 4 to 6. Else you will not going pass this mission.

This game is different from BL2, you need to combine Skill Tree, Relic and Class Mod. Skill tree can improve gun damage but they are very restricted. Relics and Class Mod helps but do very little improvement.
