Solo Nex
Introduction
When Nex spawns for the first time in a custom instance it will be praying Deflect Magic 
for the majority of the kill, this is why Ranged only kills are the meta for fast consistent kills. After every kill you will teleport out of the instance and re-enter in order to force Nex to always be praying Deflect Mage
Note: It is strongly advised to complete the Ritual of the Mahjarrat quest in order to get access to the Jas boost which gives a 5% damage boost in GWD1 (including Nex). This can be done via Fairy ring code D.K.Q.
Presets and Relics
Banking Preset
⬥ The most important thing is to have a Frozen key + Ancient Ceremonial set for use with your boss portal.
• You can speak to Ashuelot Reis in the Nex bank and pay a one time cost of the Frozen key + Ancient Ceremonial along with 10M GP to be able to access Nex bank without these items.
⬥ An Enhanced Luck Potion 
works and can be used here.
⬥ A T70+ Defender is required for Ancient Emblem 
drops
• This is used to make the T80 Defenders (
