How much HP to survive 3 direct hits from Kole?

Im clueless as to if Ill survive Kole or not. He killed my last HC character so naturally Im paranoid about dying to him again.

Im running an evasion/block/dodge build with 700HP. Armor = 0, energy shield = 0. My avoidance is pretty extreme though. I tested against a same lvl rare mob and let him autoattack me.

Result: Was hit 4 times in 30 attacks.

However Im guessing uniques have higher accuracy - so to be safe and include worst case scenario I will assume I will be hit 3 times with 1 crit. However I have NO clue what damage this will do with zero armor :(

Anyone know? Could a GGG member tell me his damage or is that a secret? :P

If your evasion is above 40%, you won't be hit 3 times in a row while only fighting Kole. Evasion is not random in PoE - you can build for it and against a single enemy it is really strong. So you should be fine whatever the dmg of the boss might be, as long as he cannot onehit you.

Edit: You can also use Enfeeble to reduce his accuracy and dmg to help with tanking.

It might be worth making a build just to block him in and run past.

The damage cannot be mitigated at all, only gamble a dodge.

Evasion block dodge, that sounds neat.

To test his damage, if he pulls you and it does around 30-40%, his wave melee attack will probably 1 shot you. (i'm a ranger and on normal he 1 shot me with 400 hp with his melee attack). On merciless he 1 shot 2200 hp with a 31% melee resist.

He also has a hard time following you if you end up losing him, and he is not always directly in the path to the stairs of Lunaris 3.

When I farmed him on merciless, sometimes he was in the furthest out room from the exit, others he was in the first room from the entrance.

Thanks so far guys. Guess I have to just run past him.

I have 50% evade, 30% dodge and 50% block so my avoidance is really high. Im just afraid 1 or 2 hits will kill me and I cant know without knowing his damage.

Any superhigh HP high level default league chars wanna help me out and see how much damage he does on you with 0 armor on normal? :)
