@iEatNoobz: Well i do jump attack when ever i can since it increases dps. and from what people are saying DR happens on 80 sec interval starting on the first DR. I would recommend buying a respawn pass from cash shop just to be safe

@MrrSnuggles: Well I have a higher range but as a NW as well, but I've never tried empress.
Do you use jump attacking? And do you have any tips for DR?

[quote=iEatNoobz]Dam, is that really all it takes to solo all of empress? You sure you don't mean v2?[/quote]

No i actually killed empress herself. I finished v2 with about 4 minutes left and empress was about at 15% hp? give or take 5%. it took me 29 minutes and 30 seconds. LOLOOL

But also remember im a night walker and i may do some bosses that other class cant with the same range because of NW DPS.

i'd just keep attacking her when she's doing her other attack animations which is like a good 3-5sec.
stop when she's not doing anything and only attack again once confirmed it's not DR animation.

80 seconds is starting on the damage reflect.
She usually damage reflects around 30-40 seconds in (Cause I normally bind and then crash her and she DRs during my crash).
After that it's 80 seconds count until she can cast it again, wont necessarily cast it. You'll need to be aware of your time in order to not get DR'd.

[quote=CherryTigers]@eskmoo Damage reflect activates IMMEDIATELY as the animation shows. Looking for an animation will get you killed because the moment the animation shows, you're dead already.

You can time damage reflect by counting 80 seconds. Also, even after 80 seconds pass, you can poke at empress if she's stuck in other animations. Just don't blindly attack her and wait for the animation because you'll be dead.[/quote]

Is 80 seconds starting on damage reflect or 80 seconds once the damage reflect is done?

just watch her before she casts it, usually theres an animation that's a signal that she's gonna cast it ye
