Been struggling to kill The Master for months on nightmare roguelike. Saw someone else's advice to try antimagic and I hatched a plan to punch The Master to death out of spite. Long story short I went for a crazy antimagic brawler and managed to punch him to death with a single hp remaining. I even had to turn into a parasite to keep punching. I died immediately after from the leftover minions (antimagic wore off and regen wore off) but despite that I feel accomplished. This was my highest character ever. Here's to making it to the Far East.
My character for proof :)

a thot
a lot of fights are won by not face tanking. try running away before you absolutely must. the Master is esp. vulnerable to this approach, but you need to be sure that the terrain is on your side.
Good infusions are a must
Beating the Master is nice, but I see that your infusions REALLY need upgrading - the starter one you have are really bad and don't scale at all. Besides that, most characters should have a 4th infusions by lvl 20 (or even by lvl 10) - something like Movement is good for "tactical reatreat" (aka RUNNING FOR YOUR LIFE).
Once you got some good infusions, the Master should be much easier to deal with.

Remember to check your whole inventory before a big fight
You forgot to eat the Heart of the Sandworm Queen (unless you were purposely saving it).
Those extra stats and points could have helped a lot.
But then again, I once forgot to drink the Blood of Life, thinking it was a passive that you were meant to keep in your inventory, so I can't judge you too hard.
Also, both alchemist quests were completed - you could have picked up both potions for several generic and class points.
