At what level do you think it's realistic to take her on unweakened? I was thinking of trying it before finishing shards of fate, to actually take her shard, which means my rogue would have no ark or ashen gear.
considering the Freetown arena championship fight was mildly challenging for me at level 15, I suspect level 16 is not the time to go for it lol. but it would be annoying to put off completing the shards of fate til the 20s, who wants to XP grind without access to the sunken citadel or the ark?
does anyone have any advice for handling her, besides loading up on restoration scrolls and Hightower specials and scorpion venom (and probably potions of heroism, tragic or otherwise, and epic omelettes)?
my current stats for lvl 16 rogue are AGI 5.(absent gear), everything else at 3 (current gear brings all traits up 1 except personality), skills have maxed out evasion, stab, and assassinate, and have level 1 each of trap mastery, massive crits, precision strikes, and (uselessly for this) bloodlust (I just enjoy how it pairs with maxed assassinate and stab), and also level 2 sneak attack and (uselessly for this) level 3 dungeoneering. and magic scroll skill, haven't given it any points yet.
for weapon of choice I will need to compare stats between trollcleaver despair and melporths sword which I'll probably get soon. iirc the last isn't Light, so it doesnt rly suit my build, but I remember it being a strong beast slayer and vicious, besides poisonous.
basically when I have 10 more trait points the plan is get END 4, AGI 6, and as soon as possible get flurry and phys development, with plans for maxing out flurry, getting to level 2 in phys development and precision strikes, and maxing out massive criticals.
so basically I like jaw dropping DPS and I like working with Hirge, giving her maxed heal and intervention to keep us alive forever.
for this mission I was thinking I might have to abandon her highness in favor of adaon since I make him an archer build and I was thinking a poisoned longbow with scorpion venom might be helpful if I can keep us alive with frequent use of restoration scrolls. but maybe just hirge with lots of scorpion venom is a better plan. not really many poisonous weapons available to her...
I'll probably summon some guardian creatures and hire a meat shield too. any other tactics people find effective? her stats on the wiki seem very imposing.
