Nightreign - Solo Revenant 1st Kill, No Spells/Ranged, 132 Kills, Level 15 - Everdark Libra

This was my revenant's first Everdark Libra kill, and I barely scraped by. The last few seconds were a heart-stopping cliffhanger. From the looks of it, this is now the most difficult nightlord in the game. First attempt was with holy claws (35% weakness). Couldn't do enough DPS, ran out of heals/revives, died. Second attempt was fire claws (20% weakness). Same story, ran out of heals/revives. Third attempt (this one), I said "fuck it, MAX DPS/clear speed, pure magic claws, FULL SEND". Got better loot, more kills, more runes, and it was barely enough.

Some strange observations. Magic claws did about the same damage to Everdark Libra as holy/fire claws. Typically, the more skewed a weapon is towards one element, the better its DPS (only needing to bypass one resistance). I don't know WHY it's the case here though. It doesn't make sense because Libra's fire/holy resists are NEGATIVE! Also, it seems like, while he takes less damage with adds around, ignoring them was still the play at the end. But is it always the play? Unclear. Though, looks like I can stagger him into rage-mode even if the summons are out. And THEN he takes normal/increased damage. The stuns don't appear to be poise-based knockdowns, they're the same as proccing madness on him. But I didn't have a madness weapon, WTF is going on? Maybe they're purely based on damage? But why?
