Grats on Infernal I am not sure my fire/sd can take him otu solo with the 50% fire resistance
Dom is one of those AV's that give lethal a real hard time do you have the Achilles proc in gamblers you may also need some +damage to get buy her

Nice to see a WP take down an AV without temps/Insp.
Would love to do it on a DM/WP but think the cost is out of my reach at the moment
Nice work!

I do have an Achilles proc in GC, but it was still a stalemate the whole fight. I started chewing small reds, but still couldn't get her HP down much at all. I could have tried stocking up on large reds, but I lacked the time and just wanted to get her out of the way. The best part was she couldn't put a dent in me either (She never got me lower than half my HP once in the whole fight) so the only challenge would have been to out-damage her.
I finally just asked a friend with a dark/dark Def to come and debuff her regen so I could take her down. She wasn't soloed so no screenshot for that one.
I'll keep posting as I work through the arc tonight and the rest of this week.
Edit: I was looking through my screenshots and found a good one. I really don't like the way those guys are looking at me....and they work for someone named Dominatrix? *shiver*

Hey Agent, I just noticed this part of your post and wanted to clarify. Dominatrix has 50% resistance to all damage types. Pass on her. To my knowledge only Iggy has killed her with no temps/Inspirations. I have never seen the build he used but I know the fight was close to an hour and if I had to guess I'd say his build passed on things that would generally be desired for normal gameplay. Maybe he'll chime in and post that build for us! 
*sighs* If only I could have kept BU up for the duration of the fight, I might have had a chance. But it still would have been an epic battle. Well, she's out of the way now, and we'll see who Maria throws at me next.
Congrats on joining the club.
Dominatrix is a pain in the behind. She doesn't do enough damage to threated, but is just overly resistant

You'll find as a Katana player (only any lethal type damage AT) that there are going to be quite a few AVs that you can't take down simply because of their resistances. I can't remember if Dominatrix is past these two AVs or not, but when you come across Siege and Nightstar, don't bother attempting them solo, because they also have 50% lethal resistance.
Anyhow, grats on Infernal! He was the very first AV I took down on my Katana/Regen, and I've come quite a ways since then. Our secondaries are different so you might have an easier time on some AVs than I did, and visa versa, but so far I've found Neuron (ranged attacks with -end) and Black Scorpion (quite a few big, big hits in his arsenal) to be my toughest, but still do-able, fights.
Good luck!
A good place to check for AV abilities and resistances is here. Just in case you want to check before wasting 20 minutes fighting an AV with 50% lethal resist.
Not that I've done that. >_>

This.
But I just hit 50 on my kat/wp and got it io'd up, and it's an incredible combo. Properly slotted you should survive against most anything with ease, the only roadblocks will be lethal resistant beasts like the 3 mentioned here.
Congrats!
I picked up the Infernal mish and went in with my Kat/Dark and breezed through it all. Until hitting Infernal. kept dropping but then I took a break from it for a bit and went back in with a couple of IO sets and a whole new way to approach him from a tactical standpoint. Next time I breezed all of the way through including the big bad himself.
Tonights AV was Chimera. He took half a dozen tries to get my strategy down, but I finally got him.
In short: Chewed a purple to start and then once DA was stacked twice never looked back. I popped SoW any time my health got too low and went crazy on DA-GC until I got back to a safe HP range. Made sure to focus on keeping DA stacked whenever he had his katana out (I hate getting hit with my own attacks!!!), but when he switched to his bow, I went to town. Harder than Infernal IMO, but was still a fun battle.
Next on the list: Black Swan!

Today I soloed my first AV on my Kat/WP. It took me a few runs to get my strategy down. The first time he got me after the portal and some surrounding demons shot my health down pretty far. The second time I was chewing purples, but the RNG gave him three strait hits to take me out. Third attempt...well..again, the RNG just didn't do anything for me. Final attempt I stopped chewing purples and had stocked up on reds since I didn't know if he'd pop some kind of damage resist when I got his HP low enough. No such thing happened, but the fight was taking forever and I figured I could do it without the insps, but I was getting bored so I popped a bunch of reds to finish him off.
I haven't seen many Kat/WP AV killers though Werner is the classic Kat/Regen AV killer. I mainly wanted to give some evidence that Kat/WP can fight up there with the big boys.
