About Shadow Empress and DR

I was just explaining that the "gate" skill isn't really all that useful, soul stone was much better at least you stopped attacking. Lets say you used your hyper on empress and she DR'd while you had your skill key held down, there's literally no way in hell you can stop from dying whether or not you have gate on. All people with hurricane type skills get screwed over on DR for this. I couldn't ever stop my phantom from dying even with final feint on on phantom whenever I was spamming mille.
