Sirus fight is making me quit POE

4th time fighting sirus. Got stomped again by a trash mechanic meeting a staircase..

Great League.

Well I had a maze right so I got out AND A FUCKING FIRE IS INSIDE THE SAFE ZONE WHAT THE FUCK dude so I'm waiting for the fucking meteor and this AWFUL degan is just obliterating me because I can't move anywhere else

I dont understand the decision behind the storms... Sirius himself is quite easy, but if you die once, its basically over. Everytime you come back Sirius starts with creating new storm, and yes, they do not despawn if you die (or so it seems). 1 mistake and you end up with arena covered in storms and you simply have no way to manouver. Make Sirius creaty only 3 storms as i think was intended and prevent him from creating more everytime played dies.

Just......how??

So today i had my 6th fight against Sirus, and it's going to be my last.

I think i wasted like 15 shaper sets before i finally managed to beat uber elder but it felt fun and challenging, the fight was very fast paced and dynamic, any misstep could kill you and there was so much going on all the same time, it was an incredibly engaging fight and it felt really good finally beating him.

With Sirus, after less than half that many tries, i am already burned out to the point where i don't even want to learn the fight anymore. Mostly because it's not even about learning the fight. All he does is jump around and shoot beams that do no damage. The fight itself is incredibly boring. The only difficulty comes from seeing the black degens on black ground and handling the storms. Everything else he does is completely irrelevant. I guess that's some sort of difficulty, but not the good kind. A boss fight should be against a boss, not against the arena where the fight takes place.

Maybe i would be willing to commit and learn the fight nonetheless if he was atleast somewhat accessible. But that's the next problem. Even attempting to fight him requires several times more work than Uber Elder did, and unlike with elder you can't save up shaper sets to do several attempts at once. And it's not so much more work because it's harder to beat the Exiles compared to Elder/Shaper Guardians, I'd say they are actually easier than the Guardians, no it's only because there are so many RNG gates set up that even spawning Sirus once is a tedious boring and frustrating experience.

And now that i have 32 watchstones i don't really have any reason to go through that experience anymore. The game is actually far more enjoyable for me if i just ignore all that new content.

i just got my first kill :)

clouds can be tricky but they are manageable.

i failed this until i got some spellblock going so the super laser do not instakill me.

If GGG wanted us to have a working game, they'd have issued us one.

Two characters, two fights. Impresions:
I wonder who could come up with such an idiotic idea as the Sirus instance ...

Most likely the same person that had the great idea to creade the influence mechanic, which is most likely the same person who had the same thought of releasing a mahor update right befor they fuck off into well deserved holydays.

Love the game, love the patch, but yes, there is no other way to say this: Sirus is bullshit. The whole fight is garbage, sorry for being that direct, but this boss needs to be completely redesigned or removed from the game.
