The first time I killed him, I killed him so fast, I couldn't even look at his mods, let alone interpret them (which is a flaw of PoE to begin with) and the "explosion noise" is barely audible, so nice surprise that I got fragged completely beyond my own control. If I make a mistake and get punished, fine. This, is bs. Therefore, people should read guides before they start, absolutely.
Nobody is saying that all deaths are unfair. Some of the traps in this game are beyond unfair en he is one of them.
