Melee Nex
Introduction
This is an advanced guide which assumes a strong underlying knowledge of all mechanics and information presented in #nex-basic.
When Nex spawns for the first time in a custom instance, she will be praying Deflect Magic 
for the majority of the kill. This is why Ranged-only kills are the meta for fast consistent kills.
Note: the Ritual of the Mahjarrat quest gives access to the Stone of Jas 
boost which gives a 5% damage boost in GWD1 (including Nex). It can be reached via fairy ring code D.K.Q. or master quest cape option 5.
