Frost Maiden Boss-killing ?
Vixon, so far, has been on a tear throughout the game. She's sitting at ActV NM at the moment, and made it there running at players 8. This build is really a blast, the freezing arrow skill just dominates almost everything. With a merc, a valkyrie, and a decoy, there is a wall of defenders keeping any crowd of monsters at bay. Zero deaths so far (knock on wood).
My question is about boss-killing. She kills Boss's really slow, Diablo (NM) took several minutes last night, which I really don't mind since she breezes through everything else so quickly, but I would just like to make sure I havent overlooked anything I should be doing to speed up boss-killing.
Current Set-up:
Weapon: Buriza/Kuko on switch, sometimes a Rogues just because the speed is fun
Armor: Duriels Shell
Belt: M'avinas
Gloves: Laying of hands (the increased damage does effect Diablo right?)
Boots: Waterwalks
Helm:Steelshade
Amulet: a rare with +2 passive and magic skills and some resists
Ring:manald
Ring:rare with leech and resists
4 or 5 sc's with cold damage
Skills (hard points) (Vixon is clvl 66)
FA and synergie 20 pts
multi-shot ~3
magic arrow ~3
valkerie 9
1-2 pts in various other skills
Merc: Hone Sundan for weapon, smoke runeword for armor, and a rare helm that is ~600 defense
Pretty decent setup imo, geared towards mana leech. I hope using the buriza is not considered cheesy... its the best bow I have found, and it leechs back enough mana to sustain FA.
I seem to dish out plenty-o damage to every non-boss monster, but NM Mephisto and Diablo took a considerable amount of blue pots and time to kill.
So, are there any options that I am missing? The only thing really I havent tried, that I probably should is switching to wizendraw for boss-killing.
Other bows I have available:
Wizendraw
Skystrike
Rogue's
Demon Machine
WidowMaker
Magewrath
Riphook
Eaglehorn* my friend that I MP with found this bow the other day, but so far I have stuck with using only equipment that I have found, and I intend to keep doing so. But ofc, I could just run Hell mephisto more until I find one, if it would be a huge help.
crap, I didnt intend to write a book... o well
