-I'm fed up with your lies Mo. No level 50 can be one-shot unless he's wearing level 35 armor or lower. I have witnessed the largest damage he can deal with one hit, a critical one that took away 60% of my operative's HP. While using napalm, which means no extra armor, 676 is the lowest you can get.
-Since most of you complaining probably had their first encounter with the word "strategy", I'll lay it down for you to understand. Ol' Nick may have some impressive close range attacks and above 3 times the HP Ed Neezer has but his weakness is exactly there. He can't touch you if you keep him stunned and use long range weapons like duals, grips and shotguns/canons.
-Hell, you can even accomplish that even if you use napalm's maximum range. Stuns to use:
1. Operative: Psychic Lash, Flames of Insanity, Lurch(yes, it knocks him down on the spot without push).
2. Engineer: Pain. Transference won't work since you will constantly be dealing damage.
3. Commando: Singularity & Neutron Stomp(for the same reason as Lurch above), Graviton Slam.
-A little piece of truth; Ol' Nick is a waste of time. Doesn't matter if you're using other enhancers or not, he's simply not worth the time to kill. An excellent suggestion above by Siz, don't wear the Frozen Wingmark. Or skip him, he resets if you go behind Ed Neezer. The time it takes to kill him is equal to the time you need to play another round on TC Benevolence and make it to the final boss.
-About drop rates, I can't say for sure that Ed Neezer doesn't have better chances at the 3 decent vanities(Old Man Winter, Smooch Me Sprout, Gingerman Emblem). What I can say though is that I've witnessed all those drop from the other bosses as well, in fairly equal rates. Personally got both my gings from GHOST, 2 olds and 1 smooch from Ed and a smooch from Nick.
-Now quit your nagging, use your head and go retry now you know these.
