Lady Melisande solo?

[CorwinXX]

I have few questions.

1. What to do when calmed by insane dryads (can't fight, can't cast)?

2. What fencer weapon is the best vs her (which mods)?

3. How to separate satyrs? (how to kill them without attracting Lady Mel - to be able to honor her later)

4. What to do with slowing (-60 SSI, -60 HCI, -60 DCI)? I don't want to imbue SSI on my weapon because it reduces HLL/HML.

1- I ran and used invis items. (ring, brace etc)

2- I went with Kryss for AI and swing speed.

3- I used honor on myself.

4- Honestly I never found a way around that. Just dealt with it. Ran off and used invis items at times when things got tough.

You can find videos for most Peerless/Champions on Youtube, helps if you know Japanese and/or Korean though

What mods is better to get on a kryss?
DI 31
HML 70
HLL 50
Hit Fireball 50
HSL 16
Or may be HLA instead of Hit Fireball (and 30 HSL)?

Even with 70% HML I will not be able to chain AI because of low base damage. 15 damage from Hit Fireball must help I believe.

Since Lady Melisande has just 40-45 physical resist I could use Double Bladed Staff (for Double Strike) with DI/reforged HML/HLL/HLA/Hit Fireball?

 

[CorwinXX]

I have reforged two krysses - one with 70 HLL and other one with 70 HML. If I'm going to use AI I need 70 HML.
But I think may be it's better to use Lightning Strike when I'm under slow effect (to compensate -60 HCI). In this case I need 70 HLL.

Here is how a special Melisande weapon could look:
31 DI
70 HLL
50 HML
40 HLA
10 HCI

Here is how a second main 'all-purpose' weapon could look:
31 DI
50 HLL
70 HML
50 HLA
32 HSL

Which one should I try?

 

[Duncan Drake]

hmm I havent tried mel so far but as seh has weak fire res i think the perfect weapon would be double axe with double strike and cw

 

[CorwinXX]

I believe if you use a Double Axe your swing speed will be 2.25 or 2.50 with 180 stamina and 35 SSI.

 

[Duncan Drake]

Hmm yes a bit slow. Is there no way to avoid this debuff?

 

[Duncan Drake]

Hmm what is this... A fey. So i guess you have to use a weap with ssi on it.

I think the daisho is perfect here. Speed 2,75 decent dmg with double strike and feint, 2h for max parry and 600 points to imbue.
30 ssi on + 20 gear + 15 df - 60 debuff =5 ssi. Enough to swing at max even with 150 stamina

Problem it lowers leech. Hll would be max at 70 if you reforge it

 

[CorwinXX]

I have 5 ssi on my suit.

 

[Duncan Drake]

Then you swing with 1,25 at 180 stamina with a double bladed staff and df. But remember mel casts curse so you will probably habe less stamina

 

[CorwinXX]

(2.75*4 - 180/30)/(1 - 40/100)/4 = 2.08
I don't know about rounding but I believe my speed will be 2.00 or 2.25 even with 180 stamina and 2.50 with 150 stamina.

P.S. 2.75s - a Spear (I'm a fencer)

 

[Duncan Drake]

doesnt double bladed staff has 2,25 swing speed?

 

[CorwinXX]

It's 3.00 and just 1 base damage less than a Double Axe.
(I used 2.75s speed for a spear since I'm a fencer)

Double Axe 15-18 dmg 3.25s
Bladed Staff 14-17 dmg 3.00s (IMHO the best AI weapon in the game)

 

[CorwinXX]

I have tried to do Lady Mel but for unknown reason satyrs attacked me in spite of I have honored myself (Lady Mel didn't attacked me). I will try again at the next week.

P.S. Collecting keys was very easy.

 

[Duncan Drake]

I tried her too today. The satyrs i could kill but lady mel blasted me out of my shoes even with feint. -.-

 

[CorwinXX]

Did you use Honor yourself?

offtop
It seems I choosed a wrong boss . Could you range Peerless Bosses from easiest to hardest for a solo dexxer?

 

[Duncan Drake]

No i didnt. I lured em away and used invis pots.

Range for me:
Dreadhorn (easiest)
Medusa
Chief parox
Travesty
Lady mel
Shimmering effusion

 

[CorwinXX]

Thank you.
I think I will try Lady Mel once more then will do in the list order. And may be I will do it with my sampire as well (to compare difficulty).

 

[Duncan Drake]

I dont know why she hits that hard... And even casts blood oath. Very annoying.

Hmm before i try this again i will go for stygian dragon and slasher of veils, but i fear these guys wont be easier :-/

 

[funkymonkey]

Slasher is a easy if you have healing on your temp, otherwise when is freezes u and throws rocks u will die!

 

[CorwinXX]

Slasher is a easy if you have healing on your temp, otherwise when is freezes u and throws rocks u will die!

How about dismounting? I don't want to lose my swamp dragon during a fight. Of course I can use an ethereal horse.

 

[funkymonkey]

Oh i used Lord gods mystic dexxer for my pvm, but with reforged Armour u will get better stats and i use a war axe instead of diamond mace.
takes me on a good day 30 mins.

I know there is better temps to solo it faster just i love the mystic dexxer.

 

[Duncan Drake]

Dismounting is ugly for a melee dexxer. Might become interesting
