The achievement in question involves killing Ghom, Lord of Gluttony (in act III) without getting hit by his gas attack.
Ghom uses this area of effect gas attack in melee a lot, and I don't seem to be able to predict when or how often he will use it. This makes avoiding the attack as a melee character problematic.
Does anyone have a strategy for how to get this achievement as a melee class? Does he have a "tell" that he is about to use his gas? Or do I need to kite him while throwing axes/tornados (which will be incredibly slow).
My characters are a Barbarian and a Monk.

Level 34 barbarian (middle of act 4, normal difficulty, my first run) can kill monster power 0 normal difficulty Ghom with several uses of "Ancient spear" (doesn't require fury and generates some) and "Weapon throw" (uses little fury) skills and a minute or two running.
