If you walk in melee range, kabraxis will use those green swirly things. There is like a 2 sec delay before it starts doing damage, so that is your opportunity to do damage. Kabraxis doesnt cast balefire while using the swirly thingies. There are 2 ways to do it:
1, run in circles to dodge balefires, while occasionally running in to land a few attacks before the swirlies start doing damage
2, bait teleport. you will end up in melee range to land a few blows
There are pros and cons for both builds:
With the first strategy, you cant really avoid facetanking a little bit of balefire damage, because kabraxis is spamming it as you run in melee damage, so it can chunk you pretty hard. No skeletons spawned this way.
With the second strategy, you will avoid balefire totally, but force the boss to summon skeletons.
Skeletons can be a good and bad thing at the same time. They do decent dmg, and you will have to clear them later, but you can also leech from them if needed. Also deathgaze will end up hitting skeletons too, lowering your dps on the boss. I definetly recommend the first strategy on barb, you just have to drink a potion after you go in to stay healthy.

Idk, but he keeps using balefire, I dont have even a half second to do some attacks... Nah it seems unbalanced for some classes. I'am gonna be very glad, if someone send a video how to kill it with melee barbarian, because i didnt found any on youtube

It is the balefire used before you walked in. Just tank trough it with a potion, if you can, if not, use the other method.

A Median XL guru... a true book of knowledge
This clip is from 1.2, since then whats new: you will get more AR with flat ar on stuff, so chance to hit goes up = dps goes up. Also titan strike got buffed and you can recast it without targetting enemies, also better stats fot barb.
That being said, if you want beat this as melee, doing this with low dps is really hard, because he has so many chances to kill you and heal. That is why I opted for fortress respec, which I pretty much never do in the guide, trying to stick to 1 build. It still somewhat stays melee technically (fortress locks ranged skills).
If you want to do it really easily, you can "cheat" and spec to snake bite.. socket some -psn res runes in gear, and itll turn this fight into utter joke, you gonna take chunks of 20% of his health per throw with really shit gear.
Endgame poison barb with decent gear, can 1 shot him with this skill, and it really doesn't even take any crazy gear, in comparison to caster builds, because you don't need spell power, EF stacking and all these things, just +skills, -enemy res and maybe add some duration (not necessary). I'm 100% sure this will get nerfed next patch, so enjoy while it lasts.
If you really want pure melee kill, you basically wait for his teleport, hit him 1x, and run away, repeat this till he dies. If you deal decent damage per hit, let's say 5% of his health, then its reasonable strategy. With this barb build and basic gear, its not reasonable, because you will deal literally a pixel of his health bar per hit, and if he catches you and kills you, he heals back worth of many of your successful strikes. It is doable but so painful that I suggest to respec.

Try it with a non barb character.
Unholy ranged paladin is usually good, otherwise do what Aerial says and spec poison.

If you wanna spec to thrower to farm some charms, the following gear is pretty cheap:
Weapon:
Shield:
Helm:
Body:
Gloves:
boots:
Belt:
Rings: +1 skill and poison pierce.
Amulet 3-4 skills with poison pierce.
Fill gear with [No] runes for poison pierce - low level uniques can have [io] runes or perfect amethyst which will allow for more orb space, if needed.
The goal is getting as many + barb or all skills as possible and then stack pierce. Make sure to cap resistances as the build isn't very tanky yet.
For skills, max Ancient Blood first. Then max Snake Bite and Gladiator uber. Put a point into mountain king, Immortal and Thundergod. Six points in Stampede for farming and the rest into Snake Stance. Snake stance might be a few points short of max but its just for farming. Snake Bite and Gladiator are the bread and butter for bosses.
Put enough points into str for gear and dump the rest into dex. I don't know the specific amount of attack rating needed for 90%+ to hit kab but get as much as possible. Use luck oil and orb weapon for more attack rating.
Hit Kabraxis with Snake bite + snake stance and try to kite. Keep a portal in one of the corners of the large room and don't drag him towards it. Because the skeletons have poison res, it takes longer to clear them so you want a safe spot to return to the area without Kab camping the portal.

Rings: +1 skill and poison pierce.
Amulet 3-4 skills with poison pierce.
Fill gear with [No] runes for poison pierce - low level uniques can have [io] runes or perfect amethyst which will allow for more orb space, if needed.
The goal is getting as many + barb or all skills as possible and then stack pierce. Make sure to cap resistances as the build isn't very tanky yet.
For skills, max Ancient Blood first. Then max Snake Bite and Gladiator uber. Put a point into mountain king, Immortal and Thundergod. Six points in Stampede for farming and the rest into Snake Stance. Snake stance might be a few points short of max but its just for farming. Snake Bite and Gladiator are the bread and butter for bosses.
Put enough points into str for gear and dump the rest into dex. I don't know the specific amount of attack rating needed for 90%+ to hit kab but get as much as possible. Use luck oil and orb weapon for more attack rating.
Hit Kabraxis with Snake bite + snake stance and try to kite. Keep a portal in one of the corners of the large room and don't drag him towards it. Because the skeletons have poison res, it takes longer to clear them so you want a safe spot to return to the area without Kab camping the portal.
