My idea:
A gigantic Phogoth-sized Thrall with three glowing blue eyes that can fire three beams of pure Darkness that slows you down, drains your abilities, and depletes your health.
It's claws are its main attack, however. It's claws are infused with Arc flames and will leave an Arc damage over time effect on you called [b]Arc Hellfire[/b]. It also can stomp and send anything flying away from it.
Its body would resemble that of a Cursed Thrall's body, except it would also look like Phogoth's. The name of this boss would be Xygon, The Infernal.
Xygon would not be able to be harmed until three Witches that are keeping Xygon concealed and protected within a green shield, unable to escape and wreak havoc upon everything it saw, are killed. The three Witches have the health of Ir Yût and are each named and each control their own portion of the shield and spell that is keeping Xygon from doing anything.
The first Witch is named Ir Yon, and she wields Solar instead of Arc, her Solar spells being twice as powerful as a regular Wizard's. The second Witch is named Ir Xor, and she wields Void instead of Arc. She has the ability to screech a lyric of Ir Yût's Ritual of Ruin, which drains your abilities and strengthens hers. She can be killed easily as when she screeches she is open to attacks and is weaker than a normal Wizard as she is pouring her energy into the Ritual of Ruin. The final Witch must be killed while Xygon is active and attacking you. The final Witch's name is Ir Det. Ir Det has the ability to force Xygon to look at one member of your fire team and use his eye attack, only his eye attack is stronger because of Ir Det enraging Xygon by controlling him. Once Ir Det is dead, Xygon is exposed and will roar into the air in rage for one minute, allowing your fire team to damage him as much as they can before the encounter begins.
I think this should be a Raid Boss now.
[b]Edit[/b]: I will make the rest of the encounter in a little bit.

In some parts, this boss is a little too OP. How much health does he have?
-
You do realize Ogres are just mutated thrall right?
-
-
and yes i read your post and this point is still valid, but maybe make it like the berserker from gears
-
sooo we already have technically a thrall boss in PoE
-
I do not care. This is what I think is a good idea and I'm not going to let the other million people o this thread that say Ogres are mutated Thralls beat me down for it. Yes, I read the Grimoire, and I think this is a good idea. Xygon is a super sized Thrall that an extremely powerful Wizard summoned, granting Xygon the abilities he wields.
-
Would be really cool if you had to kill all the witches within 3 seconds of each other before the shield went down.
-
That would mean too much is going on at the same time. You'd have to deal with the boss, the witches, and thousands of ads.
-
Well with skolas you have to worry about ads, the taint, the bonds, mines and skolas himself all at once. So how much harder can this be?
-
I would like to see like a central chamber where Xyon (sorry if it's spelled wrong, the thrall boss) is chillin, and 3 separate chamber all equidistant around the center one, and your fireteam had to split up, clear initial adds in the three chambers while avoiding death, then whittle the Wizards down, communicate when three have to be dead, kill the Wizards, dps boss. It would be tough but doable
