I'm having problems with ghom inferno, the room fills so fast that i end up dying just cause of his poison fart. I easily do the adds but after that, the room is full of fart. My dps is at 35k and i have 20k hp. Any tips on how to not cover the whole room with toxic farts? and is anyone else having trouble with him?
Thanks for the input guys/gals.
before 1.03 i had absolutly no problem killing him; with comparable gear to yours
just tested him now; with 62k dps an 40k hp - no chance, room full at 50% boss hp
might be possible with some burst builds, but "normal" gameplay -> forget him or ask a tank friend...
this. I struggled trying to solo him, even kiting very gradually, but to no avail, the room was covered in gas in no time.
Right afterward, my barb friend offered to tank it, I was reluctant (thinking how could it fix the gas issue?), well, he tanked him in the middle of the room the entire time while I stood still DPS'ing, only moving every 10-12 seconds or whatever it is for when gas clouds spawned on me, but had no more issues with the entire ROOM filling with gas...
TLDR: get a friend to tank it, trust me, you won't have any issues
I dont recall exactly what i did but i think at the time i was running a splinters build. I changed out for numbing darts which helped slow him enough to kite him at midrange around the edges of the map enough that his farts would disspate before a full round. I think I also ran soul harvest to use when he dropped some adds, flaming locusts, spirit walk with jaunt, grasp with the 80% slow. Really, i think that should be enough. I think i was at 40k, did have a pair of runspeed boots. To speed things up a bit you could probably add some more easy ranged DoT's like the acid cloud with lbb or others. It's pretty straight forward really, got him on the second try.
About 20sec solo on Inferno with that crappy burst zombie bears spec. I did get lucky though in that he targetted my gargantuan for the first poison and then part of my legion for the second poison shake, so I was able to stand there free casting.
Had my luck changed probably would have taken about 30 seconds to finish him off.
I do run with 75k damage and 26k hp with very little armor/resist.

You're way to overgear dude.
Imo the way to fight him is to get some tanky gear. You gotta tank most of his hits in order to prevent him to move really fast and slowdown the gas cloud. He hits like a girl and you can use some aoe ability to kill his adds and grab globes. I think around 30k dps, 700 all resistances and 30k hp is enough.
I am trying different builds for him right now. 75% has been my best attempt and that was with a Burst dps build and about ~300 resist. I just need more attempts. Will let you know more tonight

Umm, Diablo has been dead before the nerf patch on my WD. Now I just farm full Act 3 runs and just do Cydaea/Azmo runs when I have only a little bit of time. And still using splinters...awwwww yeah.
took me 16 tries before I downed him the first try, mainly because i found the builds i kept trying weren't going to cut it. definitely the toughest boss i've faced yet. Finally, I found the build that worked relatively easy. I used a nutty dogs, legion, garg, bbv (mana), with bear spam. I'm roughly 45k dps and 35k hp with ~600 AR. Basically, run up to him, drop everything and bear spam.. moving slightly away from farts until there's no room, then bolt to the upper left corner and kite him clockwise. He was dead by the time I got to the bottom right corner. With VQ going, you can pretty much bear spam a couple seconds in between kite farts. Especially helps to get your positioning right, so you can push the bears out farther, with your back angled to a wall.
