Trial of Chaos tornado bird boss is way too strong

There are 3 different bosses in the trials of chaos and the tornado bird is absolutely the worst of them. Everyone I know who plays this game hates this boss and every time we do the trials on lower levels (e.g. 4 rounds for second ascendancy points) it's always just a matter of whether we get this boss in round 4. If it's that boss, gg, go again. The rounds and other bosses pose no issue whatsoever, the tornado bird - I've never beaten himm a single time. It's just a ton of random atacks from nowhere that deal ridiculous damage and it's always just an instant death. This boss is way overtuned and absolutely needs a nerf. At this point he is just an automatic reset and just a waste of time of doing the previous rounds. No issues at all with the other bosses.

Remember those boss vs boss fight videos? How about Tornado Bird vs Tomb Lord lol
ah yeah that guy is dummy strong, not sure if he has some weakness we should have discovered or an obvious way to avoid a large portion of his damage..
Its a problem with some of the boss design where the entire screen gets filled with a death mechanic but there is no real tell and reveal, for instance on my minion build the boss is animating the lots of attacks from my minions and those flinches make it even harder to read what the bosses are going to do.

The difference between a good boss like the lava guy during the campaign vs the bird in the ascendancy is night and day, one has good telegraphing and interesting mechanics which require movement and have phases and the bird bitch is a screen of random death.
i didn't even get hit wit the nado, he dropped out of the sky threw wind at me and did my entire 1,800 life in less then a second.
Here we are over a year later this this Bird is still Overturned. I'm lvl 40 witch lich minion and temporal chains chaos build. Doesn't stand a chance even with high armor life and energy shield. I hate this game. Seems I'll bee turning it off again. Everytime I turn this game on I get pissed off. Not worth it.
You don't have to do the Trial of Chaos quest immediately, You can always wait until you are a higher level, then come back and kill the boss easily. That boss becomes easier to kill during endgame I think.

The lightning wave spell is the hardest to dodge imo because its so fast. Usually it fires a lightning ball and then a fast lightning wave afterwards.

You shouldn't have to wait until Endgame to do literally your second ascendency though.

I'm glad you can retry the Trial infinitely if you're getting your second ascendency, I actually thought for a while the tornado bird was guaranteed to be your first encounter through there because he was on every single one of my characters until the most recent two (they both got the Chimera).

He's out-of-pocket for mid Act 3.

The bosses really discriminate on classes and resistances pretty harshly.

It would suck getting to the end of the Trial to find out I barely did damage to it, or that it could 1 shot me so easily. & for it to take so long to kill, it had 50 chances to 1 shot me.

Some classes have no problem with it, Some classes take time to snowball towards endgame for them to reach their full potential, but suck at bossing during the acts. (sorceress[without comet])
