Dont know how to beat gollux

I keep failing my solo gollux runs. I have a 200k range and like 110%boss dmg, but when i kill his arms i can't hit him from the safe zone with anything other than glacial chain and frozen orb, and if i go in then i get sucked up and die. when i kill his chest i keep getting ohkoed by his arms or die because of that counter above my head that i dont understand. Help?

Inb4lag.

On a side note: Your chain lightning bounces from the eyes down to the opposite side, killing the mob spawns. At head, this isn't significant and you can probably kill them with teleport and/or glacial chain, but if you miss one, then you get a counter above your head. If it gets to 5, you die. At the eyes, your CL will hit the mob on the opposite side. Stand on the very far edge of the platform to avoid his attacks and teleport down to let elquines hit the mob. Try to time it after an attack so you don't die. At the gem, you can teleport back and forth to let CL clear mobs. Start on the left and teleport to the right since the right side mob spawns earlier.

first, you're dying because of mobs reaching the center. kill them
2nd, you're not supposed to be fighting off to the side, you're supposed to fight from the center, teleporting left and right to dodge his attacks when needed (his cues are really obvious and slow)
3rd, you should always kill abdomen first. has the biggest penalty if you do fail to dodge an attack (and imo seems to have shortest delay) since it heals him.

Okay with that range, I would recommend do Normal gollux...

Kill the Abdomen and Left OR Right Shoulder. (Don't kill both shoulders for normal)
When you get to the head, just use Frozen Orb to stack then Chain Lightning, when the mobs come towards your way. Use Glacial Chain.
And also.. If you need a more in-depth view. Watch this video.
