That’s mephisto beat. Wonder if we’ll see Diablo in the next expansion.

Don't be silly ! Diablo in a Diablo game ... pfffft

So ... that Mephisto boss fight. Utter trash. Numerous one shot kill mechanics, unskippable cutscenes between the 3 phases and visual FX that obscure nearly all of his attacks. Forget trying it with anything less than one of the few S tier builds eg. WW barb ...
Blizzard devs never learn, do they ?

It's still more intuitive and easy to work the mechanics than the Uber Lilith fight!

Just trying out corpse explosion.. this is so overpowered. I’ve got rid of my basic attack and just got that

Been putting some hours in the last week and got up to torment 8 before it's starting to 'feel' hard, need a few items to get my build fully working but RNG hasn't been great no matter which method I use to try getting them.

This weekend I was chipping away at side quests between war plans to get the new content polished off, not many quests left to do but unless I start getting lucky with drops I can't see my getting the seasonal rewards unlocked as I'm up to needing to kill Lilith on T8 or above.

I think a lot of players won't manage to complete the seasonal journey. Tier 8/9 are locked behind Lilith & Mephisto boss fights which require broken meta builds to beat ie. whirlwind barb, ball lightning sorc. Those boss fights are horribly designed and unfun. I've beaten Lilith and not sure I can be bothered continuing to grind for gear, glyphs etc to beat Mephisto.

Don't disagree with you, when I first played I couldn't get past the one shot mechanic with Lillith, was 1 shotting her but got fed up with running around to 'dodging stuff' doing the Mephisto fight in the story was just a cluster of stuff on the screen and his Uber version has an extra phase.

Its definitely possible without a meta build, I completed the season journey on a Blazing Scream Warlock which maxroll have listed as C Tier so I imagine its possible with quite a few other builds. I tend to start the season blind with something that is different/new for me and then switch to a meta build to finish up. Just cleared T12 Mephisto now so not much left on my ticklist. If anyone wants a carry through some of the challenges I'd be happy to help.
