This fight is not hard. You just can't faceroll the keyboard and expect to down him in 10 mins. You need patience, a good ego build, and the right gear. I chose to use a respark shield with 25% life regen and a detonator. I chose to use cloak but half the time he seems to know where you are so I would suggest decoy.
Comparing this to another MMO with a very difficult solo quest: The warlock green fire quest in wow. seriously just google this and it will probably bring up endless pages of QQ and the occasional OMFG I finally beat him. It took me around 10 hours to finally down that boss and about 30-45 mins for this one. It really is a joke.
