The second we engaged it we all ate a 1600 Tourbillion then he started picking people off with Thunderbolt and Bloodrake. Took multiple 2hrs to kill this thing, was harder than floor 100 boss. THis NM is also a gigantic time waster: http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/Nukku
I have yet to use a BLU for NI:2 and have never needed one. Double embrava is the only must have. Yes it can be done without it but nothing makes a bigger difference. With 4 good DDs embrava and haste that NM dies in less than 15 seconds. Take a DRK if you need stuns. Stun and Weapon bash will get you through pretty much anything if you are killing fast enough.
