Did it as Warrior too today. Well timed Inner Beast with Storm Path up I'd only chip off 50% of my 8.3k HP. Still find Holmgang kinda meeh, but well at least if I know I'm going down it helps... You died Twice in that fight @_@, Bard's RoD has been incorporated to us so there is no reason to mention RoD nerf. With Virus I'd literally take no damage.

Liquid Hellsitting is still not possible for a Warrior, though you can try getting yourself to the brink of death sitting in the Liquid Hell till the 5th shot then do a Jump Holmgang so you will land outside =P.
