Hey I'm not the first one but I'm still very happy
So after exactly 2 weeks I finally managed to down Diablo on inferno difficulty and therefore beating my first estimate of 1 month
Along with all his buddies before him and cleaning areas too (skipped some rares of course ;)).
For those attempting him soon:
1. I used force armor of course but for the fight I had to modify my usual gear. I usually clear in A3 and A4 with 35K HP, 250res, 1K hp/sec and 37K dps (no buff).
After getting one shotted too many times, the fire zone thing killing me quickly and his debuff draining my life way too fast I switched to more defensive stats switching all my gems to amethysts (they were all topaz). I equiped a shield with Int / Vita / Allres and so reached 42K Hp 400Res and 22K dps (unbuff).
2. Teleport + Illusionist felt like a must have for the fight, maybe someone with a lot of movement speed (20%) can play without. Fracture Rune made clone and Diablo often wasted an attack on the clones (like the fireball). Due to 22Kdps feeling fairly low for a 21Million HP fight (14Million base + 7Million shadow) I picked force weapon.
Final build for him was:
MM (Charged blast, for some reason seeker was failing so bad never reaching him out screen while charged blast worked fine...) I could have gotten with Arcane orb instead by I wanted Arcane Dynamo because hydra was probably doing more than half the damage.
Hydra (Venom)
Force armor
Force Weapon (Reaching 30K dps)
Diamond Skin
Teleport (Fracture)
Illusionist, Dynamo, Galv ward
3. Took me a while. Its a fight of endurance, you gotta avoid all his shits while slowly burning him down. My down took me around 15minutes (5Min per phase), each try was between 5 and 10minutes. Lag killed me a couple of time.
4. I feel the hardest part was the first one. For some reason I feel he was doing far more teleports on me than on phase 3. Phase 2 is fairly simple if you apply your reflexes from phase 1, only thing that may be annoying is an unprepared pop of your shadow clone with arcane orb it one shotted me once.
I can't remember where but I recall that hydra should not work with dynamo. As I have not tested it myself and cannot remember source, please don't get on my case if I am wrong.

Hmm I'm pretty sure it does Wouldnt have changed anything with my fight though if I'm wrong since it was just a nice addition and didn't want glass canon.

Congrats. Guess I need to gear up a bit better. :\
