Sirus fight is making me quit POE

I've tried Sirus multiple times now and I will try until i managed to do it. The problem is this fight is so demoralizing on a level that I personally never expirienced.

Things that really make this fight so unenjoyable for me:

- Why does he spawn a new storm every time you die?
- Why is it so easy to brick this fight? All of my tries I got him into the last phase and then you get put into a maze and the exit is sealed of by a wall on the stairs. Now the fight is over. He will spawn another Storm and you will die over and over again.
- Even the time it takes to get to him again makes me not wanna play him again.
- The Camera during this fight is all over the place. During tansitions into the next phase when he creates a storm and you walk away, after a few seonds it will begin to zoom in onto you. Why? I think it should even do the opposite thing so you can see whats going on.
- there is no progression. all of the elder slayers before him are easy with my current level of gear and then you get to sirus and it feels really wrong to be so weak in comparison.

I know this game isn't diablo 3 but for me its comparable. Not even in diablo 3 on inferno difficulty did i feel this way. The bosses got me way more often than sirus ever will I'm sure about that. (because I died so often that it would take me 10 years plus to get as many deaths against Sirus given the time that it takes to spawn him.) but in diablo i never felt cheated.

And yes eventually you will be able to do the fight but its an unenjoyable expirience to learn this fight and that i think is a problem.

Than there is the lack of communication with the community. They are so good at this usually. I get that its holiday season and I don't expect them to answer during such a time. But the question is why even release the expansion during such a time when you know you will not be available? Guess it's for marketing reasons and goes hand in hand with their anual supporter packs but my guess would be that it is having the opposite effect and is actually PR that harms the game more than it helps it grow.
Metamorph alone would have been awesome. Its a really enjoyable league but the new endgame really could have used more iteration.
Also it puts a bad taste on the whole exilecon experience because it was so awesome but if this is what we have to deal with when they cut themsselves short on time than i'd rather now have it at all.



So thats my thoughts. Yes many subjective feelings in here but given the feedback in this thread I Think I'm not alone in feeling this way.
This fight is probably the worst I've seen in any videogame. I wish they'd just delete it from the game, make a new fight that's enjoyable and fun and just never talk about this ever again.
Just posting for GGG to see the amount of reactions.

Had only 3 attempts yet. I know I needed more attempts for my first Uber Elder and solo'd Uber around 9 months after its release. I killed him around 30 times since, so I'm familiar with this kind of learning experience.

But the amount of bugs and the random boss state after you've died once makes me stop trying. Today I died to an invisible moving storm while returning after death. I guess this happened because of predictive mode.

Died to trapping storms while searching for sirus and the stairs during his p3-maze as well like many others.
I hope this fight gets some adjustments and the required bug fixes because it will probably stay forever...

The money I thought on spending for an Eternal Damnation Pack now went to Microsoft, so I can finally try Forca Motorsport 7.

This.

I think it's very important that the community stay focused and specific in it's pushback against this fight, because if GGG sees a huge sea of incoherent I HATE YOU posts it's all just noise.

The mechanics of both Sirus and his projection are excellent. It's only the storms that are a problem, and that's what needs to be fixed (if not removed entirely).

Ok, so the possibility that the last phase can happen near the stairs which breaks the maze-mechanic is totally fine ? It shouldnt even be possible in such an encounter. This is so pathetic designed, and all those devs do right now is enjoying their holidays while f*ck up my free days. Thx GGG
Just did it for the forst time.
Fuck you, GGG.
Online delenda est:
When the lifecycle of PoE will draw to an end many years from now,
there needs to be a final patch making it available offline.
Im sorry to say but IDK what you guys are complaining about

Sirus lvl 8 was one of the easiest things i've ever done in POE

I killed him twice deathless with my duo

Here is how the fight went

Ran in, ran circles around him

Phased, run away, get pushed a bit by his force push ability

Wait like 5-10 seconds, dodge comet ability, run back under him

Phased, run away, get pushed a bit again by the same push ability

Wait like 5-10 seconds, run back under him

Sirus dies, loot

The best part of the Sirius fight is when you fight Sirius and the vortex outside the arena kills you inside. Ha! The fun we have!
