Of course, I keep asking... WHAT gear should I use?
Alure has one Lifesteal and one Accuracy set, Deliana has 1 Lifesteal and 1 Speed, and both she and Deliana have no Banner. Not for lack of trying, btw, the right ones NEVER seem to drop.
In case I didn't make it clear before, I've switched armor on ALL of them many times, something that costs about a week's worth of grinding to do.
And "brute strength with AoE"? No, does not work. Period. My AoE attacks can't even destroy the Spiderlings in one hit. The best I can do before Alure is killed is bringing it down to 75% of its health.
Lifesteal on Alure and Deliana isn't great. Doubtful either is doing enough damage to justify that set over others, and it likely means you're really capping the stats both can hit. You do want speed and accuracy on both, however. Stun set is the one on Deliana I could see being good (in non Drex comps) and be willing to give up stats, but I just don't like Deli there in general.
If we're going to try to AoE nuke, are you putting defense down on first?
