I just killed her with my most recent build (e.g. a Blademaster), but man was it a harrowing experience. Now mind you this is a very sturdy build which can facetank pretty much everything else in the game (Fabius, Sentinel, Mad Queen), so her power pretty much took me by surprise.
I would guess she reflect and/or retaliates and that coupled with her Dot’s (bleed and electrocute), a high life steal% and good defenses just aren’t enough to offset the difference.
Thoughts?
I’m pretty sure she has high retaliate (pierce?) along with high physical/internal trauma/bleed.
Take that with a bit of salt though, it has been awhile sense I fought her (cause all the builds I’ve done recently fair poorly against her)
I wonder if Iron Maiden having retaliate damage correlates at all to the Diablo 2 Necromancer skill Iron Maiden being straight up reflect (retaliation) damage.
You do know what an iron maiden is right? Diablo 2 didn’t exactly invent the term.
