She is difficult, but as stated before she does not need to be defeated to finish the dungeon. If anything, She is a great way to practice you PVP, since you have to be on your shield block and dodge, counter punching A game to survive. She is probably the only true Boss in the game.
On the PvE server I play, I was already 2 times this friendly player 
I did even warn both people to pay attention (have a maproom near the Warmaker obelsik with a chest with enough spare keys).
Same thing here, Map room and chest of keys for anyone is my go to as well. Nice to see someone else employ that idea!
Khan? Is that you? 
Personally, I think that it would be a bad idea to nerf her without doing anything else to keep her challenging.
It’s just my personal preference, but I find brute force to be the lowest kind of challenge, but even that is better than taking the challenge away.
Maybe @Wak4863 or @Firespark81 can test again.
But the changelog says sth about concusion dmg…
Also it says “Deals concusion dmg”… concusion dmg would lower your stamina, which Arena champion doesnt do… she lowers your life to the afterlife…
Nope. Ingame name should be same like reddit and mostly everywhere else: thE_29.
She killed me just the other day when I was testing XP from killing her. Which is a whopping total of 2xp gained. But I didn’t notice stamina being reduced though in all fairness she kills you so fast when she connects that I could have just missed it.
My clan and I frequently run dungeons as a group. I really do not understand what you mean by the game not being designed for group play.
That said, I run all of the dungeons solo as well.
EDIT: I will admit, the Champion sucks. 
As do I, though I have not done it recently. I will say the White Tiger near my city seemed harder last night…
She is easy… until she isn’t. Just don’t mess up when fighting her or it hurts, a lot.
The axe is definitely my favored weapon. I typically carry the Act of Violence, Executioners Axe, or (my old standard) Glimmermoon.
Also, I never take a thrall with me to new content. Subsequent run troughs is 50/50, I either will or I won’t.
- The game is, primarily, and online game. Yes, it has a solo/co-op mode
- It does not need a “group up feature”. You simply communicate, “Hey, I’m going here. You wanna go here with me?” And then you do… just like in real life.
- The group does not need to be rewarded evenly. If you are with others and you find a shiny then you figure out a way among the group to adjudicate the shiny. We normally use a die roll (yes I know others cannot see the result, we use the honor system), but there are other ways to do it.
- Then it was designed to be for a 5-man group. I’ve done it with more than five and I’ve done it alone.
Also, if you are playing single player/co-op then you can tune the difficulty to suit your play style. So I really do not get the issue.
I love confront the champion! Please do not change anythimg ! Its Great:rindo:
It took me about 30 minutes as well to beat her without a thrall the first time, but I used an Dragon bone Axe. I did the jump axe attack and kept rolling out of the way into I could stun lock her by swinging the axe at her legs/feet to knock her back.
This entire dungeon is actually quite easy. I head in there solo with a thrall and will loop the dungeon multiple times killing all the bosses for weapons and of course the armor scraps. I think the dungeon is actually too easy considering the loot you can pull. Last time I ran the dungeon I left with 5 Rannisans a few of the spears 2 crom hammers 1 of the swords, and around 80 armour scraps. I spent around an hour and a half in the dungeon just looping the bosses
Whaaaaat? The hammer of Whale got nerfed… But then again, at PvE the hammer wasnt that useful.
And the dungeon was even easier before
Back then I found all that out only by running the dungeon multiple times.
All shadow giant king bosses have more HP. The 100% AP weapon are gone and the 2 blue skeletons have much more HP…
How are you dying vs a NPC that gets staggered when it is hit?..
let alone a thrall that will tank, and destroy it within seconds.
What do all the hip and young people say nowadays, “git gud”?! 
This tend to happen when you got a bit too greedy and attacked her too many times and forget to time it right. Sometimes she doesn’t get staggered and she can kill you with 2-3 hits.
Questions like that always remind me of that scene from “The Long Kiss Goodnight”:
Look, I’m just not that good, okay?
