Grey sisters in Tsakonian Ruins

[growlybear]

Is all of IT as difficult as these Ruins? First I had trouble killing the Liche Queen and now I can't figure out how to kill off the Grey Sisters, even worse I had two of them dead and had to go somewhere. Guess what they came back to life!

I have a female Hunter L34
Health 1841
Strength 321
Int. 50 (maybe that's the problem, I'm not smart enough to kill them )
Dex 230
A Damage 336
A Speed 88
D per sec 294
Armor 407

I'm equipped with Icefire Pick damage 73-91 or Jade Bow damage 48-58.
Is there some technique that I should be employing. I've been using the Pick but my health suffers greatly at that close range and the bow doesn't seem to do anything.

The problem is definitely the damage. Average damage for normal around the time you first meet the Witch Sisters should be around 500+ per second.

I'm pretty sure that a general shop would sell something better than that icefire pick thing you have, just buy something from there.

Hi there,
Try doing a few more titan runs. It'll build up your xp and get you some better weapons. Also im not sure if this will work but try luring them out of the room. I used it against alastor the scouge when i was playing a bow character.

It could be your setup too. Hunting can kill bosses quite handily as long as you can stay alive. Do you have Call of the Hunt + synergy. Combine that with Study Prey which is worth maxing eventually. You can do a lot of pierce with that setup because damage resistance is multiplicative with piercing buff not additive.

Math:

For each 100 piercing damage..

100 x 1.15 (because your attacking 15% faster - level on call of hunt) x 1.6 (because level 1 COH synergy) x 1.5 (for maxed Study Prey) = 276

So with 10 skill points you have tripled the damage that passes through armor. Study prey is even more important against pierce resistant. Example a 80% resistant monster only takes 20 piercing damage (I'm not including Call of Hunt..) in above example but with study prey active it is only 30% resistant and takes 70 points of damage which means study prey alone caused almost 4x the piercing damage. And since its multiplicative with Call of Hunt it does 6x or 7x the damage compaired to not using the skills. Much more if you have gear and art of hunt.

The first two terms are more if you have other gear.

Edit: as you can see its important to get piercing damage for this to work so stick to bows and spears with a hunter

Do you mean to just wander around a little more killing things?

icefire is quite good for them!! iv killed Hades with that thing! )) get some bleeding res. end kill the one that is first from down-left corner of the screen!! do not atack her when she have an eye in the moment it gives them more power!!

Erm, it's kind of hard for a melee fighter to only fight one of them and avoid the rest you know.

He's a hunter, I don't believe he gets icefire.
