Ye our kills aren't going nearly that smoothly lol. I think its largely because we only have 1 main style range with ascentions. So on the range pray kills we are kind of screwed, we use range and switch to melee when she prays. And if she switches pray at bad times it can really hurt.

Magic+range is best combo from what I've seen. I use mage+melee though because I don't have ascensions >.<

You'll probably have a better time using magic for deflect range kills.

I'd also say to go for range/mage combo. Even if you only have t80 magic weapons, the convenience of them does wonders to compete with the accuracy of Drygores. I tried using melee for a few kills and couldn't stand it, particularly on the ice phase... Then I kept almost dying from having 60% adrenaline in the ice prisons

Been going with range/mage since lol

Ye I'd use magic but I didn't have money for vwand/book at the time, and somehow I must have lost my cstaff. Leaving it up to chance that she isn't going to pray range at a bad time is not viable lol. And melee is bad when you are tanking cuz she hits so much on it.

I have enough for vwand/book now tho so it should go better if I go back. Any tips for making sure it goes smoothly? Also when tanking, is it worthwhile to camp shield on Zaros? Or does ending the kill faster by dual wielding in the end save more food?

Only use melee if you're REALLY GOOD at dpsing with it I say. It can beat range but only if you're good at meleeing Nex. :P

I, too, find it really annoying, especially on ice phase.. thresholds getting cancelled or her doing contain during an assault > destroy combo.. it really sucks lol.


I'd use range but I feel nooby using chaotic c bows so don't bother.

Shield camping makes the Zaros phase use virtually no food (you use 2-3 if you opt for an offhand weapon instead)... Mainly due to Resonance healing you ~4k + on the magic hits, preparation drastically lessening that cooldown and rejuvenation as she dies

I also find her melee hits me a lot more often when I'm dual wielding than shield camping. I usually offhand the first three phases and shield camp Ice/Zaros... Depending how rough the blood phase is, I can go without food.. But she loves punching 2k's on blood phase, and that really drains the HP lol. Doesn't help that I'm stubborn and sometimes risk dying to avoid eating :(
