its nice to have a challenging key warden but her frequency of casting that body falling out of the sky thing is so fast i have 0 chance of escaping that. BLizz should nerd that or reduce radius of that spell its really F***ing crazy.
The issue for me is how sick the slow is (even with my ranged Barb with 25% movespeed, I still move like a slug) and how long it lasts.
The fact that his extreme cc is also his main form of dmg is plain scary. I wish it had another dps-dealer spell, and the Corpse-Blizzard would be just the CC.
67k mp3 :/ TBH its not all the time, in some runs i wait till all my CDs are up so i can pop them up and try to burst kill him, if i dont succeed at that i die quite a few times.
The issue was his illusions would cast the same skills so five of him dropping ice and bodies. Basically I had to AoE down the illusions as soon as they popped or it was trouble. If you left any up, it was definitely challenging chain-casting of bodies and snare. I haven't been on today so it would be interesting if they caved and nerfed him.
He needed a big nerf, dude was ridiculously harder than anything else in the game. The key wardens should be interesting mini-boss fights, not massive difficulty spikes.
ah, apparently they did it with the monster damage hotfix today. . . the illusionist one pretty much all they needed to do but all the changes below together yeah, just another patsy now:
General
The scaling bonus to monster damage in Inferno difficulty has been reduced by approximately 25% for all Monster Power levels
The following changes have been made to Xah'rith the Keywarden:
He can no longer spawn with the Illusionist or Fast affix
The damage dealt by a number of his abilities has been reduced
The movement speed reduction applied by his Cold attacks has been reduced

Twice now I've run into him on MP5 mixed in with another Elite pack. Before this nerf, that would've been a horrifying murder scene. Now, took 'em all out without dying once.
My pets just tanked him on MP6 while I stood back and nuked. Before, even on MP4, he'd pretty much one shot them with the first body volley. He's been relegated to Act I Keywarden status now -- can be killed while falling asleep.
And I would have been fine with the illusions, my greatest concern was that once you got in the ice you had almost no chance to evade any following corpses.
Pfffft...Not me. The illusions just made it impossible to make sense of the situation. Illusion+teleport+fast+super snare+super DPS = WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?

They should've just removed the illusion affix.

Wise ElderHe still deals respectable dmg, and the teleporting is kinda annoying if you're bad at chasing stuff (like 2 of my chars), but he's much weaker now.
