Captain knight medal; killing the black witch

Okay so I hit level 120 on my Wind Archer and did all the quests up untill I have to kill the black witch.
How am I supposed to kill her? I get her down to 50% HP in less than 1 minute, but then she starts
casting Dmg reflect and I'm instantly dead.

Here's what I usualy do: After I got her down to about 50% I change my bow to lv 35 maple bow, and take
off my att gloves and I only use normal attacks until she casts dmg reflect. After that I spam Hurricane for about
1minute and then do normal attacks again. But even with normal attacks I die 1hit most of the time, and
there is no way of telling when she is going to cast dmg reflect.

Any tips or should I keep doing what I'm doing and hope to get lucky for once?

P.S: On my 4th try right now

Any damage done to the boss would reflect as massive damage.

@o0Raul0o: As long as you hit her with dmg reflect on. The dmg will bounce back to you and since WA have low Hp , u die instantly. Just don't atk when she cast dmg reflect and tke time attacking her. If you see 1dmg stop attacking immediately.

[quote=kitchie3]it does matter. Cane dps is much faster than strafe.. You just need to strafe, wait , strafe, wait, strafe and so on and so forth. Slowly but surely. But if you spam cane or strafe then yea no chance on killing it. And no you won't die w/o using skills O_o.. It's dmg reflect, how u gonna die if you're not doing dmg to her o_O

i live in Asia that's why it's the same for me. I saw the reflect last before i atck it so i usually die before.. Just do what i told u. strafe and then wait for like 2 secs and then atack again. just keep a good interval so you know when she already cast Damage reflect.[/quote]

I mean I use reg attack, no skills. And I did what you told me, still no luck yet 8th try now.

Well I have a Nightwalker and what I did was use my summoning .
Once I got her to half HP , I would flash jump over her , the summoning would attack ( she doesn't reflect that damage)
to check I'd she has damage reflect on cause the blue aura doesn't show up fast enough .

Hope I helped in some way

[quote=kitchie3]What i did before on my WA is when i get down to 50% Hp, I take time on killing her. I don't spam my hurricane because it will only gets u instant death lol. Just attack her with strafe but don't spam it.[/quote]

Doesn't really matter if you use strafe or hurricane, it's always instant death. I even die w/o using any skills.

@PrettyPinkPride

No, I die then I see the rings, and then the cross
Maybe because I'm so far away from the servers? I'm in germany, so I shouldn't even be able to play.
I can only play because this account was made before 07

[quote=PrettyPinkPride]Your summon is a key in fighting the black witch. Use your summon and if it hits 1 dmg after the rings, then damage reflect in effect.[/quote]

Idk what it is but for me her damage reflect kicks in before the rings even show up on my screen. That's why I can't tell...

[quote=iAmPist]Every time "blue circles rise around her" stop, wait for a few seconds. See if the purple cross is ontop of her head. It lasts 15 seconds, wait 20 seconds to be sure. After damage reflect wears off, she can't recast till 45 seconds. Once 45 seconds is up, be wary and use your attacks cautiously. Try avoid Soul Driver as there is a miniature lagg in it which got me killed the first time. Try brandish amd ALWAYS, ALWAYS look out for blue circles rising around her. I got DMG Reflected when the HP bar had I---------I much left because I was rushing with brandish.
EDIT:Be wary after half of her hp is gone, that's when she starts summoning it. The little sprite thingy helps too as DMG reflect doesn't affect it but it will hit 1s.[/quote]

Did you even read my post?
Thnx for trying to help tho

[quote=BlizzardSwarm]Don't attack at all when she does damage reflect, wait until it's over, start again, after a minute stop again, then go, repeat. And you don't have to change your bow, keep using your best one, just stop when she cast reflect.[/quote]

Then PLEASE, tell me how do I tell when she casts dmg reflect?
