Can anyone give tips for this boss? I understand the general strat but it seems incredibly annoying. I've had groups that just ignore the adds and focus on the boss, and that was really easy. They were all ranged dps though. As soon as there is a melee, it seems like that strat goes out the window.

The most annoying thing is having to move out of the red circles that paralyze you if you don't kill the adds in time. Seems very rng'ish. If the adds cast that spells and the boss starts to cast knockback you're basically screwed. You either dodge the paralyze and get knocked off the ledge, or eat the paralyze and be screwed for when you have to dps and dodge the purple.

I've never tried but can they bee slept? How fast should they be dying? It seems like the die quite slow in most of my groups. Very frustrating.
