You do know that you will take less damage running a normal swampy with exceptional armor right?

With this swampy you will only block 12% With exceptional swamp dragon armor you will block 20%

If you are playing a sampire and not in wraith form and using a lesser Hiyru you are doing it wrong anyways :)

Thats why i even posted in the original post that it gives 12% reduction.

The fact that the paroxysmus swampy has UNBREAKABLE armour is the best part, I hate having to replace the barding deeds all the time,and im sure everyone knows that already thats why they want the swampy....

Running wraith is overrated, no mount/damage reduction/having to spam curse wep all the time sucks.

the hiryu is a nice bonus but with peerless like paroxy the hiryu is worthless,along with if your hiryu gets targeted it will die anyways and you have no vet to ress it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you wouldn't be playing a sampire if your in wraith form now would you!! You would be playing a wammy. Wammy's require curse weapon and your on foot!!! if you miss a couple times your pretty much done for. If you get blood oathed you cant run away so you 'll end up killing yourself!

But it really depends on what your fightning to determine which form is best.

The Hiyru is bad for Paroxy i give you that but for any other peerless and DF's it's pure win, infinite mana plus completely leeching the targets mana is much better overall damage reduction than the 20% from swamp armour. From my old notes using the hiyru on average knocked about 40 seconds off a lady Mel, i guess it comes down to ease vs speed :)

A whole 40 seconds?? you don't say!!!,Mel didn't wither spam your hiryu to death in 30 seconds?? weird?? it did to mine when i used it wayyy back when i was inexperinced....

Nevermind we are talking about two different things i guess, i assumed everyone would use two chars and be tanking whatever they were killing with a tamer. The whole solo dexxer thing was way to slow for most things but it was needed for Paroxy which is why it's not worth killing him unless you were desperate for a swampy to make killing him for a swampy easier.... :)

She is out of mana after about 30 seconds and never gets it back as you are leeching every hit, then you use your hiryu :)

I was doing it back before greater dragons were in the game, it would probably be even quicker now.

She never gets her mana back?? you should try loreing her when you fight her.

Umm she does generate mana back but you hit once a second, she never gets enough back to wither or cast any spells.

Everyone does use a tamer to tank and then use a sampire to kill,but the tamer can vet the drag,you cannot vet 2 pets and control sampire at same time, as soon as mel wither spams the hiryu is dead,so that makes it worthless.

Like i said,If you lore her you will be able to tell you CAN NEVER DRAIN HER COMPLETELY OUT OF MANA,I know this i've done over 2000 mels and got it down to 7 mins per mel...

What the flip are you hitting her with to drain her mana in 30 seconds?? It takes me at least 2 minutes to completely drain her with the archer.

Nothing now it's been two years but even back then it's about 4 minutes a kill, shortbow with chiv, bushido and max di swinging at cap. You wait until she is out of mana from the wraith form leeching THEN use the hiryu, also standing on the hiyru prevents the spawned mobs targeting the archer which is a nice bonus. Everytime you hit her every 1.25 seconds after she goes out of mana you leech her mana, she does not generate more than 15 mana ever second so never gets enough to wither or poison strike. It's conceivable you could get string of misses and she could get to enough mana to wither but only once, i have never seen this happen with 40 HLD and lightning strike while discorded.

The other bonus of this is when she is low she can't cast greater heals and you can switch to a complete luck suit at >1k health and the pets will kill her alone as she can't heal.

I just wear the luck suit the entire time...She does wither once in a while though when I'm fighting her after her mana has been drained. Also you stand on your hiryu? Right beside her? she retargets all the time if you do get to close. Have had this happen a couple times.

I was confused by what you said earlier. You said "THEN use your hiryu, and another bonus is by standing on it nothing else attacks you"

That to me sounded like your using an archer right beside her while your hiryu attacked...

I have a bow exactly like that, except its 30 SSI, and has 23 mana leech

This is the one I use now, since i really dont need the mana leech

You know at what % the adds spawn so just before they do call the hiyru over and stand on it ! Let the dryad target the hiryu first then discord it on the tamer and kill it with the archer, after a little practice it takes less then 10 seconds :)

I tried with a luck bow in the early attempts but in the end prefered to switch out for a 160 luck one hander and the 80 luck shield right before she dies, this way you dont risk a lucky miss and loss your perfection at the end. Just wait until she is at about 1k health and you have perfection then switch, after a couple early kills where i got a miss right at the end and dropped luck i decided to use this method.

Ahhh, gotcha. See what we always do is have the "all kill" ready. Instantly target the satyr and then re-all kill the mel. So I dont have to do anything but continue beating on mel.

Everyone's got there method :) Although that way does sound sure proof for not getting targeted once in a while. Might have to steal that one from ya.

If I could get my hands on a luckblade with 160 luck I would switch the way I do things. But right now, 60-80 luck is not worth switching and all I do is LS spam at the end anywho untill about 200 hit points....it gets annoying when she's at 100-300 hits and constantly keeps healing a little bit. I like to shoot till the end.

Wow did you really just say that? Yes you can drain her out of mana... yes she does regen but it is gone with the next shot... She just sits there once out of mana... She may get off a wither maybe once a minute...

And I killed her on an average of 5 minutes...

I'm going to store it in the relic frag stash in my castle for you. I may or may not be around the day you get home; there is this football game I've been waiting 17 years to watch:).

Dear god know, just activated my crafter to sell the robe but the buyer decided that after begging me to sell it and i finally bother to activate the account he suddenly didn't want to spend the gold. Kids nowadays, you would think 80 million wasn't pocket change, i have lost more than that forgetting to lock a bag of checks down and my first Hat of the Magi cost 50 million 5 years ago when siege gold was easily $15 a mill, you don't know your born these days ! :)
