Like every other difficult encounter, you can bypass or reduce the frequency of boss mechanics simply by having higher damage and a build that has damage amplification synergy.

This is the problem with the vision bullshit - there are artificial barriers that create the illusion of difficulty, but that all comes crashing down with gearing. And GGG does a fantastic job starving players of resources to gear up at the moment.

I think it took me about 5 tries with a little over leveling in between and a bit of teeth clenching and rage to beat her on normal act 3 as a lightning ranger, in act 6 I don't die at all now and she goes down pretty fast. Offensive gear is the biggest contributor, my resists are still poor and I still dance around like a monkey around regular mobs, but boss fights in this game is more about offense than defense. Every boss in this game that I've encountered so far is just a DPS check.

I don't like this fight. All the previous ones felt like there's something to learn. The general timing of the wolf jumping out from the fog, for example.

Here most of the moves are fine, but soldier attacks are just too big, too random, come from all sides, and require extremely quick reaction. And it's not even an end of act boss.

At least make us able to target the guards if it's not a duel.

You can dodge that attack you know

The soldiers light up before they throw. Move to an area of a soldier who hasn't lit up and you dodge the attack. And the last attack where everyone throws it goes in a wave go to the end and run towards the front and dodge roll

I've gotten through that attack without taking damage before many times.
