Funny Way to Beat the Ogre! (spoiler)

Most posts regarding the Ogre boss in the tower recommend kiting him with your mage, or basically anything else that involves as little melee contact as possible. Well, I found another way, that looks a lot more heroic!
I'm playing a dualwielding rogue, and I'm constantly using the easy-to-get talents that allow you to put a short stun on your target (Dirty Fighting, Riposte.) I've found these stuns to be invaluable survival tools.. it seems to me that melee combat in AD:O is more about locking enemies down than about doing a lot of damage
The way I beat the ogre with this character is very simple: I just rotated Dirty Fighting and Riposte on him. To my great surprise he wasn't immune to it at all!
The moments he was stunned gave me ample time to heal up or to just damage him a great deal. Sometimes he will resist the stun, but if he just gets stunned 3 times during the fight it already gives you an immense edge. It was by far the most down & dirty, heroic way I've beat him so far.
