HELP, can't beat Epic Typhon
Laionidas:
I am completely puzzled here, since I never had any issues with Typhon, and especially my Diviner just steamrolled him on Epic. Yet, my most tanky character yet, gets killed instantly almost every single time. Scrolls don't help, charms and relics don't help, over-levelled gear doesn't help, pots don't help, shrines don't help, tactics don't help,.. I've been stuck on this for a week and spent millions of gold allready. My poison resistance is low, but I've consistently been able to dodge his poison attacks (it's quite an easy one to dodge in fact). I tried switching weapon types, armour, artifacts, everything. What am I missing here?
Spoiler for MY EQUIPMENT OF MY LATEST FAILED ATTEMPT:

Also, is there perhaps anyone who could help me take him down co-op?

Equip a bow, potshot him and run back down the ramp, rinse and repeat until done. Slow but safe.

Are you doing any melee damage at all? It must be low. I'd relocate some points from adrenaline etc defense skills into plague and max susceptibility to increase your dps by 1,5, whatever you're doing it with.
Laionidas:
The DPS has been fine so far, against any boss and any regular group of mobs. I think my Diviner did even less. The problem is he leeches back more than he takes in damage, even with my 80% resistance, and Wolves are just useless against Typhon.
Realocating skillpoints is an option, but not one I particularly like. It feels a bit like messing with my build, even if I use the ingame point reallocater. For a true build alteration it seems fine, but doing it just for a single boss feels a bit like cheating, or at least breaking the build. I also doubt a bit more DPS is going to make the difference. I can get him down to 20~30% health just fine, by means of an initial burst, and I even tried increasing that initial burst damage by going all-out on DPS, but I just can't seem to get past a certain point.

Oof,.. does that work, doesn't he regen a bit when I'm on the ramp? My DPS will be insanely low after all.

The goal is to do more damage to him inbetween leeches than he leeches back. Susceptibility does just that and -50% phys resistance is one of the biggest boosts to DPS you can get with your build. Its by no means "a bit more". Strength of the pack is another option, probably weaker though, depending on your stats.
Edit: I think 1,5K DPS in the stats panel is a more appropriate number when you're melee in epic. Achilles, Heracles, Ares, raptor tooth have +% physical damage or can get it as completion, some can also get attack speed. Of the winds rare shields have attack speed. I suggest you revise your gear and decide where you can improve that, in addition to plague. I think you are mostly lacking attack speed though. Average damage number = dps number, 99% as, thats not very good.
