I am very geared, over 18 million toughness with lots of armor all res and over 400k health, i am a leapquake barb and gain 50% of my armor when i jump bringing me over 25 million toghness and yet i still get 1 shotted by this boss thats a stone guy and splits and it is COMPLETLY unavoidable. you cant leap in and not get hit, they are constantly swinging in all directions. thats the problem with this game they favor range way to much, the only reason melee are high on leader boards is because they hope not to get bosses like these.
also i feel like im being forced to use string of ears even though im trying to go a double rend build with the new belt, guess its not an option though...not sure why its even in the game when melee really only have 1 or 2 options
were doing this on tier 37 and were in a group, my leapquakes crit for over 90 mil a tic along with rend which is 25 mil a tic and if you have all melee in your group you get demolished. it doesnt matter if its on a high diffaculty hes GOING to split and you HAVE to have ranged. thats the problem i speak of. i know hes condiered easy at tier 30 or below, but not when you get higher. the game shouldnt be designed like that, you should be able to play whatever class you please and still be able to kil any boss. what if your groups all meleee? guess what, you cant kill the boss. lol

then use CC effects. That's how I do it with a sader he doesn't get the chance to split as he's is stunned all the time

He's the easiest boss on every level; everytime we're close to the finishing line in a 45+ rift we hope for that guy. There are bosses that wreck melee and bosses that are impossible for ranged - while you think he's tough for you, everyone in your group will hope to get this boss. If you're melee and have no Xephirian Amulet, Raziel means that you can just leave the rift. At 45+, Saxtris is almost impossible for DHs because the adds will overrun you.
As others have said - it's the boss lottery. Hope for a "better" one, but talk to your team mates first, because they might tell a different story (definitely once you get past GR40+).
As a melee, I stand there and hold down my LMB to kill him... Honestly, i've really got no idea how you could consider Stonesinger hard compared to the others I mean he doesn't do anything but spawn a few ignorable clones. As a melee imo the easiest one is Stonesinger, The hardest is Rime and the rest kind of sit in the middle. There's a few that aren't as hard as Rime but id still rather not meet like Blighter, Bloodmaw, Erethon, Infernal Maiden.
I could understand if you were just having trouble with Rift Guardians in general, as once u get to ~35+ they start to hit for stupid amounts of damage and as a melee needing to face tank that is horrible... But having trouble with Stonesinger specifically just makes no sense :S.
Now that we talk about bosses. What do you do as a wizard about Perdition. Me and a monk friend were doing rift 34 I believe and Perdition was just one-shotting me with every blink strike. We didn't make the timer because I was dead 90% of the time. Is there any figure of toughness I should have to progress further?
I don't know how, but you can tell when he is about to do that attack. Saw it mentioned in a video from Natalya85 a few days ago.
A good tip although kind of cheap, is when your rift bar is at ~97% rush to the next floor before u spawn the RG this way you can spawn the RG right next to the checkpoint... Without this trick I would have failed a lot more GRs.
