Any tips for beating Malthael as a Wizard on high difficulty levels? - Woman in Black Dress holding a Lighted Candle

I'm playing solo as a hardcore Wizard on Torment IX, running Tal Rasha's with dual hydras. Usually when I encounter hard boss fights with melee bosses, I'm forced to kite and rely on my hydras + meteors to do the damage - and it works fine.

Malthael, however, is one of my hardest fights, especially in the 2nd stage of the fight, when he turns into a whirling thing and chases me around. He moves about as fast as I can run, the floor is full of bad things, and I can't teleport frequently enough to evade all that.

I just increased difficulty to Torment X and I'm fearful about approaching that fight. Any tips?

How do I beat Malthael wizard?

Basic strategy I used for dealing with Malthael was this:
  • Kite him non-stop, relying mostly on Strafe and companion damage while on the move, then switching to Evasive Fire when Hatred was getting down near 10%.
  • Activate the Wolf Companion active buff as soon as it came off cooldown.

    He had beheld the latent power of the nephalem hero. He had seen that hero defeat the Prime Evil, an act that in all his years of war in the Eternal Conflict, he had never been able to match. Faced with such power, and beholding humanity as an abomination, Malthael resolved to become the embodiment of Death.

    Why did Malthael turn evil?

    Act 1 - New Tristram The first major boss encounter in Diablo 3 shouldn't present you with too much of a problem, but the mad king's still capable of cracking a few unprepared skulls. By combining skeletal summons with a handful of deadly melee attacks, he can catch you off-guard at higher difficulty levels.
