Diablo 4 rogue almost solos world boss designed for 12 players, and would have if a necromancer didn't nick in and steal the kill at 1% HP

Diablo 4's beta came with a taste of one of the game's new challenges: Ashava the Pestilent, a world boss that can only be defeated once per week and spawns at limited times. It cropped up four times during the open beta, which was of course more than enough for the more dedicated min-maxers out there to have a crack at beating it in the most ludicrous manner possible.

Ashava is a giant dragon meant to be fought by up to 12 players, and does scale slightly depending on party composition, but one thing it is not meant to do is be solo'd. Naturally that's all that the Diablo lot wanted to do, and one rogue in particular got so agonisingly close I almost want to say he did. But that wouldn't be honest because, right at the end, a necromancer pops in and performs perhaps the most perfectly timed kill steal ever.
