Are there any sites with good boss AI and ability descriptions?

Rakanoth is deadly to ranged classes because of this instagib move he does (and no matter how much health you have or how much armor you have, you die if hit).

It is not instant kill. I survived it in Normal, Nightmare, and Hell. It's simply an incredibly high amount of damage - on Hell with Force Armor I was going to below 40% life, which means the hit was ~175% of my HP. Note that being within 10 yards causes him to spawn adds. This is why Wizards going in on Inferno are using Familiar + Ancient Guardian, having the Familiar eat up all the teleport attacks while they stay away from letting adds get spawned.

I didn't need the trick in Hell, but that's because I was spec'd and geared for a bunch of Life Per Second recovery to get me back to the safe zone before the next teleport.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
