I think that Lady Winter makes a nice addition. For Melee types, you can stick with soloing Snaptooth. For Ranged types, you can pick Lady Winter instead.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
I fought her on my level 37 SS/WP brute; I won, but used most of a tray of Inspirations in the process.
I fought her on my level 50 Ill/Rad and ate her alive. As said, she's weak at ranged, and she doesn't like -regen at all. I also managed to successfully Hold her off and on.
I fought the AV version of her on a team with my Fortunata. We won repeatedly, but those nasty -def debuffs caused a few deaths. My Fortunata's Mindlinked defense values would crash to a few percent on a regular basis.
Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
On my 50 MA/Regen scrapper I used a combo of Blackwand, Nemesis Staff, and Jet Pack to (slowly) take her down. In melee, with MoG, IH, and DP all up she simply one shot me.

Are you suggesting it's good design to require a specific power type to make it playable?
I was as tough and well defended as I could be, and did as much damage as I could have, and was still one shotted. No team would have prevented that (short of having a Tank to be two shotted first). Oh, and this may be a shock to you, but players of ALL levels will want to play the winter content. When the game starts at L38 you can start using that lame argument. It's poorly designed. |
If you're playing as a stalker, then act like one. Open with an Assassin Strike, placate, and repeat with necessary inspirations at hand. Hell, you could even do like the mission text, which I copy-pasted for you, and you could pull her to the Tuatha.
Games aren't broken when a player has no strategy to combat an adversary.
Her Crystalize power also stacks up to 8 times, each with a -5% Defense on it.
I have to say that she was actually much easier on a level 20 Inv/SS than she was on a level 50 Inv/SS. I'm guessing that this has to do with how Elite Boss HP scale with level, or perhaps how her attacks scale up in damage.
