Nahema unbeatable (Blademaster)

[Daskard]

Am I missing something with Nahema?

My lvl 52 Blademaster's thoughts are probably the following:

1. Nahema spawns copies - Ok, gotta work around them, even though they permanently shield Nahema.
2. Every second attack of her and them stuns you - Erm, guys? This way I can't deal damage. Maybe hit & run works. Let's see.
3. They all teleport, stun you and then shoot rockets at you - Oh come on. Ok, let's increase stun resistance to 6.000
4. Nope, still the same. Aaaaand Nahema heals herself. Great! Let's go home.

How do you kill a boss that heals herself, has copies who shield her permanently, teleports around and interrupts your skills every 3 seconds?
You can't heal, you can't deal damage, you can't crowd-control, because all you do is stand there perma-stunned.

Using Blademaster here , killed her by using power skills - Sword of Reckoning (hot key E)
Took some doing but she does go down. Make sure you are targeting the one with the Gold Title , forget the other 2 , try and back her up against something so you can keep hitting her .
Completed the Abyss 3 times ,got 3 sets of the trophys. Can not hand them in for the feather tho.

Don't the other 2 keep stunning you while you go to work on her, even if you keep interrupting her?

Keep ypur power up and just hammer her , make sure you have plenty of shield .
I use 2 very fast katanas maxed out with mods and arguements.

BTW , if you are using 4K res drop it down to 1440P as you aim is just off to the left. I was having some issue with picking up items and killing some Bosses.

Thank you.
I haven't had luck with weapons. I've had the same weapons for 20 levels. Now my main is a blue one (no mod slots). They are 115 (splash) and 148 dps (both at +4).

I am indeed using 4K.

I'll keep trying. Just wanted to make sure I am not wasting my time.

[Daskard]

Would you focus on resistances (Stun, Shock, Phase), Shield or HP? Or all evenly? Any limit on resistances?

And why shield in general? Once depleted it's gone. You don't have shield recharge skills.
Whereas armor would reduce the damage you have to heal with your surges. What am I missing?

And are you using 2x physical dmg or Phase/Physical to reduce enemies' armor + stun-lock?

Thank you so much for your help. It's my first whole playthrough.

[Daskard]

Ah, now that makes sense. I got confused by your statement "make sure you have plenty of shield ." :)
I will definitely not get discouraged. I love melee in range-based games as a challenge for placing my char correctly and using the environment ;)

Can you kindly elaborate on the Phase damage? So I take more damage as well, when I deal Phase damage?


What I understood (please correct me):

Poison:
- Res Prio 1
- Deal as damage to prevent healing of bosses
-> For that I need a toxic sword, which are slow :( Maybe as second weapon set for bosses.

Stun:
- Res Prio 2
- I love it since it interrupts wind-up skills and reduces dmg-income. Worth it?

Shock:
- Res Prio 2 to 3
- Not worth dealing as dmg

Phase:
- Res Prio 4
- Deal as support dmg of another dmg type like poison/fire, if I can live without stunning enemies

Fire:
- Res Prio 5, since I can counter-heal it
- Deal as dmg - better than poison, since the swords are fast

Any sensible res limit? 2K, 3K, 4K?

Again thank you so much for your time :)

[Daskard]

OHHH, I didn't know about those 70% dmg increase while I am phased. That's exciting.

I actually know how you inflict the types. It was just about priority. Unfortunately I can't inflict stun damage, if the weapon doesn't deal physical damage - even if I had 1000k stun attack strength on it.

Right now I have physical (with little stun str since no mod slots) and fire.

Guess I have to keep farming. Runs on Occy is the way to go, right? Kill the bosses on the levels before or skip them?

[Daskard]

Thank you, that's very helpful. I'll try.

I get myself killed once in a while as I am head-deep in with my whirlwind when I suddenly get shocked. No skillerinos for me at that point :D But so much fun with 20% speed on the boots :D

Poison and shock are even in my book.
Either kill them quickly (when poisoned) or survive till it runs out (when shocked) ^^

One last question: Is splash necessary? I'd figure at least on one weapon would help. As a knight build maybe not so much?!
