ArishokThis fight is pretty simple, but very unforgiving if you screw up.

  • I had to do a single reload because I allowed him to get close enough to impale me. He immediately did his sweep and I was dead, literally, before I could get on my feet.

    He is not very fast, so he's pretty easy to kite, as long as you make sure he do not get close enough to grab. I would kite him around a pillar (he slows down when going around the pillars allowing you to get a bit of distance), and fire a single shot while kiting him to the next pillar. I used Tar bombs whenever they were off cooldown and then went to town. Also used 5 or so stamina potions so I could get off a few Assassinates. Also used stealth to get some distance now and again.

    The fights leading up to the keep wasn't all that difficult either, as long as you remember the primary rule: Assassinate Saarebas' on sight!
    In lowtown you have a lot of room to kite in so beyond the initial battle there's nothing to fear there.
    The first battle in hightown is a little trickier, but I think I went about it the best way. I positioned myself on the platform right next to where the Saarebas spawn (so I could Assassinate him immediately) and just started pulling the mobs up there. After I had dealt with the Mage I re-positioned myself up the stairs in the south-eastern corner, by the burning barricade and took care of the rest.

    What can I say? Act 2 was a whole lot easier than Act 1. After I got The Heaven's Answer and Stealth boots things just died a lot quicker. Then again, there's not really any hard bosses in Act 2 (comparatively speaking), and my build was pretty much done halfway through the act.
