High Templar Avarius

for pure melee the fight is hard

but its a purely mechanical fight

and build can do it and do it without taking any damage

its all about learning the fight (and having good reaction time)

Fight it as a ranged character sometime, you'll think it's fine. I thought it was bullshit when I leveled in the beta as cyclone (same with spider and crab). I played storm burst this time and it was a total joke. The problem is the melee-ranged disparity, not the tuning of the damage.

Been my impression of every boss in Act 5 and beyond. They could telegraph ohkos better but otherwise it's not awful as ranged. Giving HC players the fear of god again, which I think's a good thing.

But it's a complete fuckfest as melee.

His beam attack is like Piety's in the Belly of the Beast, just run away from it while circling Avarius or use a movement skill to quickly go to the other side of Avarius.

The balls are kinda troublesome but as others have said, you can move behind the statues or keep your distance and dodge like crazy and hope you can heal through whatever you fail to dodge.

In the end as you've said, it's just like Malachai, except that the way it's like Malachai is that it's a fight we're not yet familiar with.

Is he tuned correctly? For some reason, I had a crap time with him.

It was like Malachai (when Awakening first released) all over again. Corpse running to do a little damage.

Forgoing hardcore this league because I knew there would be some crap like this at the start.

Or maybe my gear just sucks I dont know, but that was a bullshit fight.

He was hard for me the first time I did him, but even on a melee character, once you learn his mechanics he's a pussycat.

It's just you bro -- your gear and maybe your tree and skill links. Definitely doable boss as melee. I 'spinned to win' yesterday with like 1500 hp and 2k deeps. Like I didn't even bother to dodge any of his attacks lol.

Did him with Essence Drain Trickster in Harbinger League. Got him possessed via the Prophecy to boot. Went better than expected, only died once because I'm always fumbling about. You definitely needed a Quicksilver to escape the possession hastened beam, though.

If you're melee, don't forget to bring a Totem to keep damage on him between your assaults, lest he regains his Energy Shield.

Leveling with Sunder currently and Innocence raped my poor soul (templar Avarius was easy tho). The only deaths I have until now are with that boss (act6 currently). It is just a mechanical fight tho. I took too long to notice that the man screams certain stuff just before releasing an attack.

I felt that his beam and proyectiles glitched a bit during the fight, because sometimes I was sure to be behind a statue or avoiding the attack but it still hit me. Maybe it is a thing with predictive mode or just my connection.

IMO Kitava is a lot easier in comparison with a melee build .

I fought him as righteous fire and i had a much tougher time versus avarius than kitara
