Well, I have no lagging issues whatsoever at his boss room.
But yes his "stone spikes" do a lot of damage. And yes, they seem to hit you at places they shouldn't (or simply any rational thought tell you they don't - but still do). I have the same "issue" with that one. I think about anyone playing has this exact same "problem". That particular attack is behaving strangely and has already caused many deaths.
However I do play a jester and I do solo him. But I have to be honest, it took me some time to learn.
Yes sometimes it was close, but he never killed me. Somehow I managed it to stay alive and to kill him.
I don't know if this is based on pure luck but it for sure does help me. So, I will just tell you what I do.
The moment he hits the ground with his sword and the first spike shows up I jump - no matter what I did before. I just jump into the air and make a dash to whatever side while still being in mid air. I get the damage of the first spike, but all the other ones don't hit me anymore by doing this. In easy words, yes it still does damage, but not as much damage as getting hit by the whole attack. That somehow ( like I said maybe I'm just lucky) saved my life many times.
I know this is no solution, no real one. But at the moment it does help.
The sword attack does work for me, I can get out of it's range. So I personally got no serious problem with that one.
If I'm not mistaken this "bug" is already known by the staff on here, right?
In the case if not, this is one of the things that need to be forwarded to be fixed by the dev team.
I believe the dev team is the only one that is able to fix it and sadly they are still.......hmm.........way behind on their work list.
They are like very very slow, but still there.
Edit:
I would suggest you to get yourself some gear with health on it. The more the better. This can be helpful to your class . A friend of mine plays a monk and I know your class got heal skills, but still you need some more health. You could try to farm the "new origin set", that does great. Or try to get some jewelery with heals on it.
