Topic says it all. Pretty well geared with stuff 'worked to 8, and some to 12. But I cant seem to solo him. Any advice on what the key is to beating him solo?
yes, blizzard build and immortal build
I think shielding is one thing to note; If he hits you, it stacks the debuff, but only if he touches your health bar. Life on hit + temerity, spamming skill for protection procs ect can let you take a few hits throughout the fight and keep the stack buildup low. Ideally you dont want to get hit, but im not that good, but shielding made it more forgiving.
Kill adds as they come up, immediately. Goes for the big group of little worms he summons and the big poison bois. Can toss off a lightning spear to stun all the little guys.
Kite poison puddles fast then go back to dps faster. Dont get hit by boulders/spiked ball things he throws, the boop sucks obv.
Teleport enchant is very good in this fight. So is flame shield but thats always good.
I played too conservatively in this fight so took a while. Im planning to improve gears and do it again to see if i cant get better time. The extra fat version of durial doesnt like me any more than normal durial, and didnt give me anything good.
I have made friends with barbs and necros that play daily. And by friends i mean 1. Lol.
I supply materials and he Hulk-smashes in single round.
I believe with my current build i could solo, but i havent tried.
I do not die in tormented because i have GA on DR on tibault, DR aspect on vest, and i have high health in conjunction with iceshield for a big barrier. I time my fireshield based on when he will launch that initial strong one-hit that goes everywhere (not the poison pools).
This is one of those bosses where you cant look at your action board while playin
I can solo Him on my Necro (of course) and also on my heavily upgraded Sorc Frozen Orb build. That build has about as much dmg as you can get for that build + near infinite flameshield.
Easily, sometimes single phase (Blizz sorc).
Advice: watch Wudijo’s YT vid on his special attacks (which add multiplicative dmg debuffs). Once you avoid (most) of those you will be taking far less dmg and will thus have time for damage output.

See this is what I thought the common answer was going to be.
I wanted to do a couple or zir runs (not even duriel) and the barb was so laughably more efficient that I ever could be. I run around doing damage and he stands there and hacks away lol. I need Barb friends 
Just keep your shield up and kill the adds that spit super poison and you’ll be fine. And oh don’t let his charge, the falling rocks, or the claw attack he does bursting out of the ground hit you, those can one shot you.
Assuming you have enough DPS to do Pit 101, you should be able to beat T.Duriel in a few minutes or so. We are probably never going to oneshot him like Barbs, Rogues and Necros do, but we can kill him in a couple of minutes.
Bash barbs and pretty much every flavor of barb decently geared can easily do it. Or carry a 4 player health, especially considering the nerfs. Duriel really doesnt do much damage to the current barbs.
I could solo all tormented bosses and lilith before the nerf, now its gonna be super easy.
But you dont want to solo any bosses because it is damn expensive. Run as a party to share the costs of materials, and do 4x runs instead of 1 for the same price.
