Nightmare Mode On Assassnation Missions

[Mallyx]

Just finished Naamah on nightmare mode (vampire) solo and it just wasn't possible without using a revive.
For people who play without a high ranked vitality mode, you'll slowly die to the vampire effect before you even come close to killing a boss like raptor or kril since they have so much hp or damage immunity phases.

 

Maybe remove assassination missions from the nightmare mode list or give us an option to choose between the regular mission or nightmare mode.

Uh it's actually easier to do those missions with Vampire, minions are pretty much instant full life.

[MetalGerbil]

i been doing it since it switched.

just drag a bunch of enemies in with you, and use them for heals while immunity phases.

not that hard really.

Like those two above me, drag his armies behind you and get free 15%life after every kill. High vitality doesn't help since each second takes 1.5% of your life.

 

Or bring consumable with you.

The problem is when I encountered Raptor he had no minions. I guess this is where Rejuvenation comes in handy, though.

I'm sorry, I thought I was playing Warframe, not Herding Simulator 2013. ;)

 

I like nightmare mode, I like that extra challenge. But it makes zero sense for it to be mandatory on certain levels, especially boss levels. The way maps are generated, the way enemies spawn, it's all too inconsistent to make nightmare mode not be a complete roll of the dice where skill doesn't really play a part in it.

Uh, high vitality certainly helps, though not with surviving the drain.  If you have more hp, you get healed for more per kill (numerically) which allows you to just tank all the damage.  If you go in there with 100hp, you could still die from the gunfire before you kill enough stuff to top back up.
