Blood Raven on hell as trapsin help please

[Lightsins]

Helloes, is there any way in SP games to kill Blood Raven on hell difficulty? All the zombies / skellies are lightning immune and she regens life apparently. Even abusing MB and CoS to convert most of her minions and spamming FB on packed up monsters and chuging pots and droping DS when some corpses are available ain't working for me :< She resumons them faster than I can kill them and is impossible to get my merc and / or SM to focus on her, also even droping 5 LS next to her, she moves out fast and they start firing at the LI minions <.<

Any input much apreciated.

I'm not sure why death sentry/firblast/cloak/mindblast is not working for you. You can try to lure some of the undead away and kill them outside of the graveyard a bit so she won't raise them.

The first time I got a trapsin to hell, she had a hard time killing too. Fireblast is a great skill, but doesn't start to do decent damage till you have at least it and two synergies maxed, and even then only with some +skills, if you're using two +3trap claws, that'll do it, but I had a hard time killing LIs until I went and maxed out LS ~and~ DS.

As for Blood Raven, get a corpse or two with Fireblast (just keep chucking them, something will die eventually) and let DS handle it, if the radius is large enough, you'll even damage Blood Raven. Thin out the crowd a little, like Grumpy said, lure some away and kill them, and the ones she raises shouldn't pose too much of a threat, just hit them with FB till one dies, DS, kill another, DS, and that should take care of it. Once the minions are out of the way, throw down LS and take out any undead she raises with FB and (hopefull) DS. You'll have to re-position your traps often, because she's fast and runs away alot, so bring a couple of extra mana pots with out, and spam away.

I haven't tried it this way, but you may be able to stun-lock her against something with Mind Blast, that way she can't run away OR summon more zombies.

Won't your death sentry take away the corpses so she can't resummon?

Blood Raven just pulls zombies out of the ground, she doesn't revive them.

Anyway, what level are you? If you are trying to solo Hell with a level 50, then that may be your problem. Usually when soloing I don't enter Hell until around level 70-75 (This will be lower if I am twinking gear across, but eh...)

She is level 76, has maxed LS / DS / FB with 14 CBS working on this skill raise now. She has +5 skills from gear. And finally managed to kill blood raven :> I was in 8 player game before and was impossible, but in /players 1 wasn't that hard :> She is not twinked, only what she gambled / found in her travels mostly rares with infernostride boots is her gear, she has 79 str / dex before items and 1115 hp with charms / gear. Got her a 3 traps claw but waiting for 2nd before I do the weapon switch, as she has +1 and +2 sin skills claws atm which she uses to cast the SM *feels needed*. She could /players 8 baal runs and mephisto on NM but doesn't have much MF, so was only for the xp side :>

Tossing FBs is very mana consuming compared to 5 LS traps as example who are puting very nice dmg for a fixed mana cost <.< As game difficulty increased it looks very hard for me to believe a melee character or another ranged char could perform as good as she can because of lack of CC.... The CoS + MB combo is very very powerfull and even with her 2 tanks, she often has to pull back or TP. So how other classes can solo hell is beyond my understanding unless the gear they may have / achieve plays such a huge roll....
