Thankfully it was minor, and not a RIP. Merveil gave me problems again by spawning too many adds. I used the same trick I did on Dominus by getting a new crop of minions and spectres, but between all the adds and the rain of ice AOE, I couldn't make progress. In fact, she got me down to half health several times and sent me running for my portal.
So, I gave up on the fight and ran Coves a few times to level. I found some boots that improved my overall resistance levels, so that should really help when I get back to Merveil. I also swapped out Faster Casting for Lightning Pen on my Arc totem. It makes the tool-tip damage go down, but I think it makes the overall damage go up more than faster casting because of the Less Casting Speed mod totems have. So hopefully with an extra skill node and some modified totems, I'll have a better time with Merveil on my next attempt.
UPDATE:
The 2nd try at taking down Merveil went much better than the 1st. I'm not sure it was the Lightning Penetration gem or not, but the fight just went smoothly from the start. Maybe it was better totem placement. Either way, I got through her health much more quickly and got her into her second form before she could overwhelm me with summons.
