It’s not difficult, it’s not interesting, it’s just been cheese coded to take advantage of animation locking to catch you in a movement “gotcha”. It’s so bad that after a bunch of (successful) clearings, I won’t be revisiting it until it’s changed.
I’m always flabbergasted by this stuff. I don’t know what the devs are thinking when they build it. It’s so desynced from what is actually enjoyable to play.
To be fair, it’s not that far from being a solid boss encounter. It just needs the God-awful “I see which portal you’re in front of, and as soon as you press the attack that locks you into our custom animation I’m going to one shot you” code to be be ripped out, thrown away, hard erased from every backup in which it exists, and never brought back in any form in any other encounter for the entire future existence of the game.

I also dislike that I am locked out of all of my skills as soon as I pick up an orb. I have mobility and immunity skills I can use to avoid those one shots, but every button is locked into throwing that orb.

I find it fun/challenging.
Play Smarter, not harder.
It’s a far superior boss fight to Lilith IMO. Lol if anything this boss fight is like a game of Dodgeball.
If you don’t like doing that boss fight, don’t. Trade in your mats for something else on the Trade chat or something.

Be thankful he doesn’t have 4 phases like Andariel does.

I’m very tolerable about a lot of things. I really like Season 8, but that Raging Bish Andy needs to see Dr. Phil STAT. I’m sick of her.

When i do my peasantly bossruns with a pawful o’ smeary lair keys i only visit:
- Varshan
- Zir
- Beast in the tasty ice
and if i am in a state of enlightenment and dont care what boring activity i do:
4. Duriel
And now…
TOUCH MY MONKEY!!! 
It’s the fact that the portals have about 20 times as much life and resilience as the ACTUAL BOSS.
It’s so terrible. and the TINY little darts that SPRAY out across the whole screen that one shot you with 25k life, at that…
I won’t be doing this fight anymore. It’s just not worth the time. I hate this team so much.

liliths wind of hate blisters works on portals which makes the fight so much easier. at least on LS sorc. not sure other classes can do use this method though.

This fight is complete and utter trash. There is absolutely nothing fun about it in any way. Man when are we going to get some people who know something about gaming?

I agree, it’s Off screen and too fast and very Unpredictable. That needs to be fixed in all hoensty.
It’s still a better fight then Andariel though. Lol

I’m afraid I’m going to have to disagree here. I can do Andariel in 1/5 the time at the T4 level
That’s fine if you don’t agree.
But like … mmm what is it…AOE in the shape of long retcangles on the floor that can poison/kill you.
Red balls of lighting death that can 1 shot.
The “I’M A FIREN MY LAZER” Beam that you have to watch out for.
The rotating fire that can 1 shot you.
The Kamikaze ghosts that can kill you…
ALL of this at the same time (or nearly at the same time)
all of this within a small circular fighting Stage… Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh NO thank you.

Harbinger was bad because the charge is not telegraphed, it happens when you see it. Before my tanklord summon necro was finished I had to just keep moving to avoid it… now I just stand in it and it does nothing. Also the caged golden lion is annoying to kill as only my golem I can force to target, and if you target it rather then the ground next to it, the golem just runs in circles around it… trying to get in?
Andy no longer has any mechanics that can kill me, and since her transitions have the shortest delays shes my go to boss.
Duriel was fun when I would get intentionally eaten and survive on full life… now I just get bored waiting for his slow transitions.
Beliel I can’t tank his breath beam… he annoys me because of this.

Yeah just evade thru it. He telegraphs it pretty big. He actually only does it once and is easy to dps after that
oh its extremely easy to avoid, my point is I want to be able to tank it. But as far as I can tell its infinite damage.
He will do it throughout the fight, sometimes chaining it. I know this from when I had just gotten into T4 with very low dps, and the fight took me probably close to 10mins to kill him. Back when I had to dodge the crazy ground explosions, run back and forth during the eye phase, and avoid the poison puddles. The beam was the least of my problems, as that was simply run to the side and wait.
He’s actually done that attack twice in a row once. It was maddening…
You maybe just need to lower the tier a bit until you’re stronger
someone in the studio must have a puppy and turned their fetch-ball activity into a game mechanic for players around the world to play it.
maybe I didn’t make myself very clear, its extremely easy now. This was back when I first got into T4.
