I am curious about your build. I myself have a melee Cadence s&b Warlord build, that can only facetank her to a little beyond 50% of her health (non retaliation).
@jawa Thanks for sharing.
I am surprised if you can still manage to facetank her completely (with tornadoes) with that build.
This is my build: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/bVAwBjDN My ingame armor is higher due blacksmith bonus.
I also tried with Menhir’s Bulwark and Menhir’s Bastion. While i do last longer still can’t facetank her all the way.
Well i was able to get her health down to around 30-35% i believe, however at a certain point she seems to do some burst of damage. So the fight sometimes is a little inconsistent. Maybe due passives on cooldown i don’t know. I think it could be possible to tank her completely, but i don’t know where i could improve.
Yes i have that and continue to spam it.
If a Ghol Pet Ritualist can’t Kill Cally, you are doing something wrong.
If it is not a Pet build with Ghol, you are doing everything wrong.
Conclusion: Play Pet build.
Btw, for those who want to face tank cally, this thing still works: Drunken Fwuffy - Retaliation Warlord
Thanks for posting Maya. However i want my build to be a melee non retaliation build.
Someone else will have to help with that then 
Omg! This boss is seriously difficult hard. And perhaps impossible for melee? Except you have to play a tank?
Well if you can’t tank to long, than resort to hit and run tactics.
This. To fully facetank Calla you need a special build. Op build has literally zero sustain outside Dryad (million dollar question: how many Dryads would you need to full facetank Calla?) . And you need to heal to full between her hits every time if you want full facetank. Oa is low af which means you’ll miss her often and not heal. But most importantly Retribution must be maxed on this build. Build has close to no dmg output for that retal. Also, no Messanger of War.
I was really having a good stable fight with her. Got her hp down to 25-30% left fully facetanking. But than there were a few burst of damage in a row, and than i got killed.
Pretty strange since the only passive that kicks in, is at 50% of her hp. I was allready beyond that point.
Since you are a retal build with decent shield (when relic buff is active), have you tried adding something like Hammer and some adcth for leech? Dryad is intermittent and Giant’s probably gets activated at the start of the fight.
Or put Giant’s on Menhir’s Will so that when you are take a near death hit, you get a massive heal and regen at that point.
You probably will have to accept some kiting no matter what the tweaks, though.
I facetanked her with S&B Warborn Witchblade and almost facetanked her with modified dual-wield Belgothian Infiltrator. You actually need more OA and damage to leech something of her.
When was the last time you did that? The last time I tried one of my leechtanks against her (25% ADCTH + 300k dps), I couldn’t leech anything substantial to stay alive. Even with 75% phys resist. She is highly resistant to leech now. Also there’s that crazy cumulative damage that comes with all her pet winds + her debuffs + her attack
I think Belgothian Infiltrator kill was back in 1.1.4.1 (pretty much the same pach), here is the video.
S&B Witchblade was back in 1.1.2.5 or 1.1.3.0, it was much slower, but was basically a snoozefest..
Making Sword and Board Soldier to counter Kallagadra is super easy. Also, retaliation Warlords with Stoneguard just destroy her.

Need to give it another try. Your belgo fight looks very similar to my warlod’s, even though I have so much more toughness and a shield. In fact, it’s even tanker than your witchblade. Does Vire’s Might effect stacks btw? That could explain it.
No idea what you mean by that.
Sorry, Fist of Vire proc - devotion Vire the Stone Matron. Debuff - 20% reduced physical damage for 5 sec
ah, nope. It does not.
