This boss is just WAY too hard for a sorceress stormweaver.

I died around 50 times in normal before being able to beat him, and now in cruel after 10 attempts he's even worst. Early fight is easy, but as soon as the adds start to come after me I have an average life expectancy of like 5-10 second. He 2 shots me everytime. I'm running a MoM/Eldritch Battery/CI build, I have spent all my currency on gear. I can't do anything else...

This is easily the hardest boss in the campaign and none are even close to being at this level of difficulty. I like hard games but here the difficulty of this boss needs to be adjusted so we don't get hit by a brick wall.

I'd say there should be half as many adds as we get during the fight. Or we need a way to be able to power up our character. I have no exalt left, can't level up gems like in the first game to ease it up, I'm stuck and don't know what to do, with no way to progress other than keep getting killed a hundred times before succeding.

I finally killed him. I still think this boss needs to get tone down a little.

You need to use CC spells like ice nova or bone cage to control the adds. I always carry one or two utility gems for areas where special problems like high monster density or super fast enemies like the beetles are found. Being able to pin or freeze an enemy is very important if theres 20 of them and they're faster than you
Until they patch it out, he's "easy" to cheese. Just fight him close to the top of the arena. It's more risky because the archers keep firing at you from the cliffs, but little to no adds come to the fight. (You will still get swarmed when he's dead.)

As for getting 2-shot, well, I'm afraid I can't offer more than "git gud" and don't get hit, I just ran circles around him, mostly no problem.
Ascend with precision.
