So, I tried something new last night in the Valus T'Aurc Nightfall. Instead of hiding in the ceiling and using a sniper to drag out the fight I decided to plant a weapons of light bubble straight across from him and go toe-to-toe with Sleeper Simulant.
Holy crap! I did all the DPS and killed him in about 7 shots. Solar burn is on, but so is small arms so special and heavy weapons are actually doing less damage then normal (they stack so solar heavies are still doing more damage than if there was no burn, but less than if it was just solar burn).
I couldn't believe the damage. With just weapons of light it was about 45,000 per shot and with a Hunter tether and WoL it was over 60,000 per shot (from a 320 Sleeper, but 300 or 310 would still be a lot).
The boss does solar damage too so you need to hide in the bubble when he shoots rockets, but the Sleeper Simulant staggers him so once you start shooting him you really just need to hide when you reload. I killed him three times last night and each time my teammates were surprised and thankful for the quick kill (my last team had wiped three times on the boss before I joined them).
Pro Tip: Easy mode/speed kill would be 2 titans and 1 hunter using weapons of light, blessing of light, and a damage bonus tether. All three using Sleeper Simulant would mean the boss would be dead before anyone needs to reload if they are all headshots (which is pretty easy to do with Sleeper because of the high aim assist).

Sleeper is what I always use in him. Won't do the nightfall though because of rewards. You seem very excited about this...you must have never killed him with the ghally with solar burn...much more exciting.

I was debating what to take in sleeper or dragons breath
-
Sleeper + Dragons Breath enough said
-
Sleeper + Armamentarium + Weapons of Light = dead in less than a minute.
-
With bullets and space magic.
-
I burned him with the fire from Dragon's Breath. Fire, get to cover, release the canister, watch the numbers burn away. My method probably wasn't as fast, but it sure was a lot of fun!
-
2 with dragons breath = dead in less than a minute :D
-
If you think sleeper sucks you're literally insane
-
Did you like your rewards?
-
Gjallarhorn would still probably drop him pretty darn quick too! Lol
-
Dragon's Breath, Sleeper, Super Good Advice (Needs Ruin Wings), Black Spindle, Touch of Malice (Primary Weapon burn), High impact Scouts
-
Killed him in like 30 seconds with a team of three

Edited by piratepatchy243: 12/31/2015 2:08:12 PMI just joined in not even knowing the modifiers, as soon as I heard solar burn I knew exactly what to use and then suggested it for the whole team. To bad only two of us had it and the rewards were shitty, I got two tread upon stars with bad rolls.
