Moonstrike her to death. I'm not even really kidding. Put on a movie on your second monitor as this'll take a while.

Hello, im a first time Median player currently lvl 117 i and i cant take "THE VEILED PROPHET" down if got no idea what i need to do i just insta die

any tipps are welcome

i dont have any sets and i play solo selffound i did every other challenge and rift up to this level and i can farm the set rift pretty quick deathless but i only drop assasin stuf (-:

@Aemy90
Debuff the Nuns with Force Blast and hide behind the center pillar until the Crystal Ball Totem gets done firing it's beam (with the recommended 115 gear setup I posted a few pages back, and the Force Blast debuff, you shouldn't take much damage). When the beam dissipates, rush the Totem -> Firedance -> Fusillade. Then retreat so Inarius doesn't 1-shot you with Abyss when he spawns. Force Blast the room again to debuff Inarius, then just walk around the room, raising Firedances and killing everything with Fusillade.

ok that tipp with stand behind the pillar did the trick

2 trys later and he/she? is dead thank you very much and great guide sofar
now back to grinding to 119 and do ancients for 120

The only skill-based source of sustain comes from Baneblade (Life on Attack) and Living Flame gives you Life regen. Life Leech and Life After Each Kill will have to come from gear/socket fillers.

MOs = ED, TCD, DEX. Flat DR+Mana regen on jewelry. Remaining MO space = MF (Life regen on armor would probably have made things easier, but MF is more helpful in the long run, I think).

Running this setup as lightning/cold to get over 300k armor and a crafted Warp Blade and all the 115 stuff is easy, but now hitting a wall at 120. Have only been able to complete Duncraig and Judgement Day. Teganze, Quov Tsin, and Kabraxis were pretty much impossible for me. Do I just farm Kurast 3000 BA until I find or can trade for the set? Farming there to 120 I only found the chest.

Rolled barb as a starter but just got this in Duncraig, hmmm... Looks like this one is buffed in Sigma.

For Quov Tsin, get some junk +skills/whatever jewelry and craft damage reduction and then fill every available/applicable socket with the +max res gems. You should be able to pretty easily reach ~88+ fire/light/cold resist with 90+ physical damage reduction in this way. From there, Quov Tsin still hurts but not so much that you can't Force Blast + Fusillade him on every cooldown while spamming your Moon Symbols. It'll take a little while but he'll go down in time.

Kabraxis is more about learning his mechanics and being patient than anything else. There's a small AoE (about the size of Fire Dance) where you can run circles around him without him teleporting. Your goal will be to Force Blast + Fusillade him when you can and just continue circling as much as possible. This area doesn't have a lockout so use as many portals as needed. With some practice, he really isn't too bad so you can eventually farm him for +3 max res on the charm.

Ok, I had already killed him once... But that little tip there, turned the fight into an entire joke. I just killed him in 40 seconds lol. Also got a 3/3/3/2 kabraxis!

120 Ubers can be done with the 115 gearset, but most are a huge pita. I'm working on an alt gearset for 120 and Dunc farming. Expecting a self-found player to farm the full Melee Sorc Set is ridiculous, especially with how rare Sacred Warp Blades are.

And here's a vid of the basic Kabraxis strat. It's from last patch, but the concept is still the same.
