What should I do when it rains blood?

At the end of Act 3 of Path of Exile, there is a boss that causes the sky to rain blood (or something that looks much like blood -- perhaps strawberry jam?) This dealt considerable damage over time to my Duelist despite quenching my thirst with a flask of healing. This killed him. Luckily he was not a hardcore character and I was able to respawn after the rain stopped.
However, I'm now playing a hardcore character. I would really like to know how to deal with that blood rain attack by the Act 3 finale boss. Is that attack avoidable in some fashion?
Best Answer
I know this is old but i just came across this boss and had the same question (hence why im here).
I actually beat him in hardcore just now using a different method.
I would create a town portal. Once it starts raining jump in the portal and wait for 20-seconds then go back in, create another portal (in-case it rains again). Rinse n repeat
Obvious down side is you are using town portals and it feels a lil like cheating. Up side is u dont have to toe 2 toe this beast.
