Stats needed for Merciless Vaal?
|
I tried searching the forum but it's giving me what seems like some pretty outdated posts that I'm not sure are any good anymore. Basically I want to fight Vaal on Merciless soon on my Necromancer Witch, I have about 3000 Life, 675 Energy Shield, 82% Elemental Resists, -25% Chaos Resist and 18% Estimated Physical Damage Reduction. I've got Granite Flasks ready for the falling rocks, do you think I'll be alright or do I need more Life for this fight? I'd like to hear what some other players had before I give it a shot.

3k life seems pretty good, unless your hardcore, give it a shot and see what happens

if you have minion instability(i think is what its called.. where they explode on low life). Im suggesting this because you said your witch is a necromancer. just spam summon skellies and Lol at vaal when he kills himself..
The answer is 42. Last edited by dieslave#2750 on Feb 1, 2013, 1:13:29 AM

" Yeah I'm playing hardcore, I just got another skill point and am up to 3120 Life/700 ES now. " I have Minion Instability, I'm just concerned about living through all the things he does while my minions take him out. The falling rocks do quite a bit of damage, though I'm gonna use 2 Granite Flasks for the fight just for those rocks. I have 82% Lightning Resist so I'm not too concerned about the shots he does. I'm a little concerned about the Chaos damage during the fight since I'm -25%, but if they're similar to the Vaal Constructs then I should be ok. |

If anyone is curious, I had 3200 Life/700 ES with 82% Elemental Resist and -25% Chaos Resist, 17% Physical Damage Reduction. The fight was very easy as a Necromancer, was never in any real danger. The lightning shot Vaal does did about 700 damage or so, the falling rocks did only a couple hundred, I used an 8000 Armor granite flask each time the rocks began to fell. For the fight, I used 3 Life Flasks and 2 Granite Flasks, Quicksilver is kind of a waste in this fight.
I probably could have done this fight much sooner but was paranoid I'd die. |

" Thanks for the information ^_^ I'm in a similar position myself but with much lower stats. EB summoner, 82% res, 2.5k Life, no ES. (I'm going to train more before vaal, also HC) From what I've heard in chat and the above information the base damages are: Lightning = 700/18% = ~3,900 Lightning Rocks = ~620 Physical* Melee = 6,000 Physical + 6,000 Fire (from chat) * Assuming: Armour = 11,000 (8k from flask and about 3k from equipment) Damage = 250 (a couple hundred) Brutus. Do you even sync?
