Decided to try beat old speedrun record (1,47s by Marco, assassin).
Also beat laz without deaths and using skill slow (screaming eagle), which makes it quite bit easier to do.
Few points:
Even though I successfully hit with first purify at 20s mark of speedrun (2 first are dodged), I still managed to beat old record by 1s. Secret? Banish oskill (-22% HP that lasts entire fight, 300s duration), one cast of it at 00:15. If first purify isn't dodged by laz, result could be better by ~15s.
Here is example of other failed run, hp with banish on, and after banish expired:

Actually, you only beat it by 0.88 seconds

Good going though, just beating laz is impressive, much less beat him in under 2 minutes.

His time was 1:47:22 if you look at the old video.
Regardless, If you hit first purify, after summoning (so 5-6s in the fight), then it should die even faster, assuming he doesn't lose OW at any point, or get stuck/decides to stop following you, and throwing totems instead, which sometimes happens.
It is surprisingly hard to hit the first purify, despite dodge being 50%, it just doesn't want to hit for some reason :)

:) This is true, I don't know If I'd try it if not our conversation.
We did think it is more % reduction though, heavy diminishing returns.
I wonder what other bosses is this worth using against. Whatever takes relatively long to kill i guess. So this becomes extra useful early ladder when getting charms with bad gear. Barb and sorceress are only classes with easy access to it (helm rw barb, crafted chest sorc).

Also a tip for people doing this as barb. Getting very high defense, to ~1.7mil does help, there is no reason not to be at 5% chance to hit by the boss, so pay attention to that, don't stop at 1.3mil or some value over mil, because every 1% chance to hit matters in this fight.

Another tweak you can do is to swap banish helm right after casting banish, since we no longer need it. 20-25% more magic resistant can be gained this way using proper RW.

well banish is "worth" anywhere, its just not always necessary to get the job done or its inconvenient to get/activate it, but i mean if its not some really dangerous boss its possible to get it from the a3 merc abjurer i think. seems pretty useful hire for just that.
like vs the void nihlatak with his regen for example it might be nice to have when the own dps is not so strong (i did that yesterday with 8k mind flay paladin and it took a while to get lucky, with banish it would likely go faster)
