Hej! Since i probably wont be able to fight izual for that long (unless you can spirit walk his "global" ice attack) i also would have to burst him down. I actually managed to burst down rakanoth (with about 33k DPS unbuffed --> i didnt use 5 stacks soul harvest) so do you think i have enough damage to do it with izual? What is/was your DPS when you killed him using that strategy?
you can not spirit walk the ice nova attack because its aoe it will kill your real body then your spirit body right after
so you need to push the 1st phase without him using nova and i have not yet figured out if it has to do with his health or i CCed him at the right time so you kinda need bit of luck to do this strat. however i think its impossible to push the 2nd phase so you need your vessel to survive
I probably wiped to Izual the most out of the three Act 4 bosses. I tried my standard Splinters build, which did more than enough damage for the fight, but I couldn't survive in that spec. The room-wide freeze attack would proc Spirit Vessel, and Spirit Walk could not avoid it. I tried kiting him until Spirit Vessel cooled off, but Tyrael kept pushing him to the second freeze.
You may have noticed a rather unconventional build. Well, I just so happened to get a nice rare Sacred Shield with all resist and intelligence on it. I put that on, and before he would freeze I would summon my Zombie Dogs, and Horrify for the armor buff, and I was able to take the hit. A few tries I ran in to the problem of living through the room-wide freeze, but getting stuck on top of a regular freeze and proccing Spirit Vessel anyways. Once I made it past the first freeze I went full burn on him, and it was no problem.
diablo you are dead!
