I was just running my fourth character through Valley of Blades and I think I've determined the source of most people's frustrations with this fight.
It's bugged to high Hate, Just for starters, and as a result, I think this belongs in CS. If not, you can move it. I'm also /bugging this in game because it needs fixed. Badly.
I've been filming my boss battles for my characters for educational purposes, mostly, and hosting them on YouTube. These three clips that I took today will also be going up, and I'll include links when they're up.
I've found that if you die at all during this fight, it doesn't reset properly. The mobs that killed you reset to their positions, but eventually, the first boss will respawn.
After killing Divad Hunding, I died on the next two. Great, no problem. Revive. Kill them one at a time, mage then dragonknight. Ra Adia reset because he ran out to the hallway while I was trying to get the hell out of his way.
Next three spawn. Oh hey look, number 4! Who's that? DIVAD HUNDING.
Die, kill Divad by himself. Pull last of the three that I didn't kill from the wave that killed me. Win.
This wonky crap after a wipe I'm pretty sure is the cause of at least 90% of the problems in this fight.

Video 2 shows my build because I usually toss that in there when I do these and I forgot to do it in the first one.
