Black Swan

Holy crap I've died 6 times so far and have only gotten her down to 1/4 health and then the RNG laughs at me and she nails me with shadow maul and splat dead. How did any of you defeat her? I'm using my Dark/Shield btw and here is my build. ARHH!

Good thing about Black Swan is you can actually use her minions to fuel SD/AAO, since they are resistant to neg and will likely last through the whole fight

It's a melee attack... you can immobalize her 7 ft away from you and she'll never use it.

Should have rolled a FM/SD!

Yay killed her now Malaise is tearing me a new hole. Are his attacks non positional or something? Every attack seems to land.

ya only way to kill Malaise is to grab a lot of purples.
