As of today, Sept 9, 2016, there's a potential bug during the scenario.
After Balnazaar becomes invincible and calls in the Legion, a quick cutscene plays. For whatever reason, I died during this cutscene (possibly got aggroed by a mob). When I released, Balnazaar remained on the platform, and would not come back down. If it's working, he's supposed to jump back down to in front of the platform and not remain on it. As such, he couldn't be damaged. I let the game sit for about five minutes, and nothing changed.
I dropped the quest, picked it up again, got to the same point, and shortly after the conclusion of the cutscene, he jumped down and was able to be damaged.
So, perhaps stand in the middle with Velen under the light to avoid any potential aggro by the encroaching enemies as the cutscene unfolds.
For Paladins:
The portal to Netherlight Temple is 39, 58. It is upstairs. To get there - just exit the paladin class hall, go down the stairs to the portals, and immediately take the stairs on your left leading up to the portal room.
When you have completed the scenario, then exit Netherlight Temple the same way you got in - through the portal. Have fun :-)
