I wonder if anyone has tried to run Nihl with a Sin? I'm thinking about making a Trapper/Kick hybrid and thought it may be useful also for Nihl...:undecided:
It works but I find my necro does it better
I run him with my Dancer (K/T). It works well enough, but there are faster ways to go (teleporting, for example). There are two basic approaches, either kill everything or do a straight run while casting Mind Blast and Cloak the whole way down. The area level is decently high, so you can get some nice drops along the way, too.
trapper can do it too -- natures peace doesnt affect kills made by traps so you have to be very careful -- best bet is to clear out one side hall to his chamber then throw traps around corner into his room -- generous use of death sentry incase there are light immunes in there (allowing a merc with inifinity into his chamber is just a guarenteed 50k revive). If all goes well room will be cleared in a few seconds.
kinda scary since you will rarely if ever see nihlathak -- just have to have a sharp eye for his treasure pile (or lack of it meaning he teleported away and you better be very careful with all the bodies in there)
Not very efficient -- but can be fun playing hide and seek with nihly
I ran couple times with my lite trapper (with infinity merc). The poison cloud is really bad. It kills my merc lots of time. LOL..

I admire you people who can go and just start a new char just for a single run.
I can't be dammed to start a second char even until I get bored of doing quests again.
my IK barb runs Nihl just fine. Super-fast run all the way there, leap/ww through any obstacles on the way. Leap on to Nihl and attack only him. No corpses = no corpse explosion. With 1 point concentrate, Nihl usually dies in less than 10 seconds.
That run is dangerous especially with the psn serpants, when they hit/charge u or make that psn cloud u + ur merc take alot of dmg.
But yeah using death sentry works well.
But i think its one of these places at times u will need fade, not just for res but dr and the cures reduction as last thing u need is getting some aura giving unqiue or amping curse combined with exploding corps and a bugged serpant hitting u.
i play europe hc and i just ripped my dkey runner and i'm low on budget again heard that trapsins are good and safe runners for nihla its that true and what would be the gear+skills (only got 2 maybe 3 ist max for getting the gear) or does any1 knows a build that can handle nihla good with gear of max 2-3 ist?
