Well Yagluth is like the first boss that feels like a boss, so I can't really agree that he needs tweaking, if anything, all the other bosses should be buffed to feel more boss-like.

Your opportunity for melee uptime on Yagluth comes during and after his Novafist attack, where he slams the ground with an explosion leaving a deadly lingering fire dot around him. You need to be using Fire-resist Barley wine so you don't take lethal damage, but this is your best chance. You can also potentially bait him into face laser attack, which is good melee uptime if you can get around him.

Also, you should be using the Silver Sword against Yagluth, it's more effective, at comparable skill levels. The Crystal Battleaxe is also a really good option, but commit to a combo to get that last double-damage attack. Bonemass power can help here.

Dodge roll his ground slam and stand in the fire for awhile, pop a healing potion afterwards if needed—good way to get more DPS time on him. The fire resist pot should make this doable.

Dodge roll spam to the side when he does his beam attack and simply get behind one of the stone fingers to avoid the meteors.

Yeah i stay in the fire and can get 3-4 hits of before he summons meteors. Thats the only time that i can damage him since he pretty much auto casts his next attack. And between eikthyr and stam pots most of that is spent dodging.

You should be using Bonemass power all the time now. Eikthyr's power is second best, but it's not a close second. Bonemass power will save you hundreds of time in the mistlands too.
