Act 1 Final Boss

I've beaten the Act 1 boss probably, 7 or 8 times now with multiple characters. Got his phases down pretty good.

Today I switched accounts (coins went on wrong account) and started up another SORC, got the Act1 boss and HOLY SMOKES he whooped me good every single time at the mist add phase.

Normally by this point I'd have about 400hp, 200 shield so its not a problem. But man, if you get crap rolls like I have (300hp, 59 shield), an account that has bugger all crafting mats....is going to really really struggle if you don't have the sustain to move into that next phase.

I can finally see why some are getting so stuck. Thankfully I know how to solve this (definitely need better gear) but its going to take time, and I don't think a lot of people are going to invest into that after failing so many attempts.

To those of you who got really stuck, the fight isn't normally this hard if you have a bit of sustain going.
