Range to Solo Empress Minions
Just as the title says I was wondering what was the range that is needed to solo the empress minions v2 cause I have never done it before :S
would a 124k ~ 138k range buffed be good enough?
edit: 70% boss 48% pdr

@Oshawott: !
I did it with 100k buffed 95% boss 90% PDR and like 33% total damage. just finished
Now I have 117k buffed, 135% boss, 42% total damage 90% PDR and I finish in 30ish minutes. Quite easy on dualblades.
Just when you get potential canceled, run away from empress because she will hit you with 10k+ other than that because your a DB you should never get hit and you can use CoH when your bored on DR lololol

That's what all the DBs say. It would take me double that range maybe to solo on shad o3o;
[quote=OneRockGod]If you read my post, youd know i have 100% pdr meaning her 70% pdr is nullified. I ignore all of it. [/quote]
PDR does not work that way. There are two types of damage reductions that stack on top of each other. One is something you can never ever reduce called Physical Resist (It will automatically cut 50% of your damage, no exceptions). The other is PDR which can be adjusted by potential.
PDR is not subtractive. It is multiplicative. If a monster has 50% PDR and you have 40% PDR, the monster will then have 60% [i]of[/i] that 50% i.e. (1 - 0.4)(0.5) = 0.3 x 100% = 30% PDR.
The only parts of PDR that are [b]supposedly[/b] additive is your total PDR from skills, codex, ambition, etc [b]however,[/b] this has also been debated that even this is not additive but also multiplicative.

LHC mobs are boss tagged but %boss will not work on them. Both Empress minons and LHC mobs are boss-tagged only so you can't one hit kill them with skills.
It's not your %boss that's working on Empress minions. It's your high PDR.

:l brbmakingdualblade.
with 110k range, 95% boss 94% pdr i can do it with like 17 minutes left
@OneRockGod: You honestly have no idea what you're talking about. Empress minions, both version one and version two aren't bosses. There's a reason I can hit max damage on empress 100% of the time and 800-900k's occasionally on her minions. I've empress'd much more than you have. Don't try to spread that bull.
thanks everyone
@OneRockGod: Because empress has 70% PDR and your boss damage has no effect on her summons. If they're counted as bosses, I'd be able to empress within 20 minutes, but I don't.
%boss means nothing on the minions, they're not classified as bosses. They're more like LHC mobs.
yes you can but it will take 24-32 minutes unless u hit over 700k
@UAPaladin @mapleshifter
posted my boss and pdr, thanks guys!
@anmolxD
I wasn't going to attempt empress, just the minions >__>
Depends on your %boss and %pdr, but probably. It's achievable with a 100k range, 100% boss and somewhere around 100% PDR
pdr% and boss % please, and your range is decent might kill in 15 minutes but stats please ?
