Daresso fight is quite hard, any hints?

Now I do not know about normal Daresso, only the lvl 82 map one (I have a high hp high regen character, so I had time to look at the boss and think about what it does, died 3 times anyway to vuln+extra light dam + enrage).

At 75 50% HP it enrages for a time at 25% it enrages and stays enraged.

It has a few must proceed like this moves aka. patterns iirc they went like

Dash -> ice slahes

Clones -> Dash -> Ice slash

If you keep kiting it it'll keep dashing to you unless you can keep a big enough distance.

I did not find a way to not take damage as melee so far.

Sword come up randomly in the arena during fight with no rhyme or reason so gl trying to dodge those, even worse is that you can hardly spot them if the map has chilled/shock ground, and its hard to spot where the sword AoE ends.

I currently play a pure evade trapper, and I have to say Daresso (together with Dominus final form) is the most difficult boss for me to actively avoid damage.

Even with 100%+ move speed when I pop my extra move speed enchanted Quicksilver flask, I can hardly ever outrun his attack where he lunges at me with his sword sticking out and then combo's a bunch of sword slashes. If i happen to be running away from him in a straight line, I am fine. But when I just slightly change my trajectory when he initiates his lunge, I am toast. His first hit hits, stops me in my tracks and his combo afterwards completely annihilates me.

Also his stupid balls of swords keep spawning exactly where I am headed, and they take away about 750HP when I pass through them because I have no time to avoid them, or I have to keep running in a straight line to avoid his lunge attack.

Not quite relevant but. I play on softcore but still want a hardcore experience (can't play hardcore because of the lag with act 3/4 bosses). So my whole build is based on actively avoiding damage. Currently at act4 on Cruel with 1k life and exactly 1 Es. So far, Daresso (7deahts) and Dominus final form(5deaths) are the only bosses that really gave me trouble. Have yet to do Koam but his attacks are easy to avoid so am not worried.

On ranged chars I've just kited him while avoiding the floating swords... Easy enough, as long as your HP and resists are at tolerable levels.

On melee chars I've just face-tanked him while avoiding the floating swords and dodging his ice clones. Again easy. His cleave doesnt hit for much if your Frost resist is capped and you have high enough armor.

I think Kaom is a lot harder, more shit to dodge and he hits harder too.

Thanks for your advice guys~ Anyone did it with a pure melee? Cyclone, Dual strike, Reave, something like those?
