zSavage's Brief Guide on how to Kill Izaro
Here's how I've killed the essences safely with lower DPS melee characters.
First, stand on the opposite side of the arena from where the golem is standing. Then, wait for Izaro to begin some kind of charge animation. Use this time to run over and hopefully kill the golem. If you can't kill it, run away, and again try to induce a charge animation. If you can't kill one golem before the next comes up, then you may have a little issue with DPS. But usually the animation watching technique has worked for me with other characters. Theorycrafter/Build Creator for PORTAL guild

" Another possibility is that you have an issue with elemental penetration. Each golem is super-strong against its own element. If you are using avatar of fire, for eg, then a fire penetration gem will make killing the fire golem *much* easier. Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:

ya I pull him in the other direction and leave him in a corner with a decoy totem while I go kill the golem(s). You just have to remember to recast the decoy before he finishes with the last one and decides to leapslam you and the golem ur trying to kill. Just keep dragging him as far away from the active golems as you can and keep him occupied with decoy.

" That sounds like an issue with DPS though. The golems aren't curse-immune. If you are using AoF and you don't have a way to either penetrate or drastically reduce enemy fire resistance, you definitely have "a little issue with DPS" as zSavage said, regardless of what your tooltip looks like. |

Thank you all for help.
The decoy totem is one thing I didn't think about. It might help. As for resistance penetration and dps - I had a bit less than 3k tooltip dps on cruel on wild strike. I don't know if it's much or not, but I had no trouble at all with other mechanics and Izaro himself. I think, random nature of ws should have somewhat compensate for the lack of penetration.

As far as i know, Idols dont buff Izaro. They just release delayed bombs upon battlefield, which deal damage when they explode.
Do note, that in case of Charge Disruptors, you dont have to let Izaro have full 20 charges to get +1 key. Even 10+ charges will give +1 key, and fight will be easier. Also, difficulty of mechanics added by 1-st and 2-nd phases depend on your build a lot. For a highly-armoured and filled with endurance charges build (=resistant to physical damage), tanking Izaro with 20 charges (Charge Disruptors phase) will be easy, but tanking him with Essesences will be much harder, due to added elemental damage. And the last hint. You can negate Fonts completely with (assuming you can kill Izaro in 30 seconds), getting a free +1 key.
