Actually VD is not a boss killer build, but nice try attempting to discredit me by searching my profile. I'm not going to do the same to you, although I wouldn't even need to click on your profile to make similar criticisms.

You could, it's public, 40/40 in delirium, 36 in several, shaper, uber atziri, master cartographer, breachlords, all the usual done.

Point was, if you're playing a specific build that is popular for a specific reason. Of course it's not "boss killer" but it meets a minimum damage threshold for the current content.

Saying something is easy without giving even a moment to consider the potential issues a number of other builds may face doesn't say anything other than choosing to ignore the experience of other players.

I can reliably kill him on a few characters, but they all are capable of meeting a high single target damage minimum while having a large enough health pool (and mitigation) to survive some of the bigger hits because you can't expect to dodge everything all the time.

It's not about discrediting you, it's about the fact you try to discredit everyone of an opposing view without even considering their point of view.

Most of the folks here who have voiced displeasure with the Sirus fight have killed him plenty.

This thread has gone on as long as it has because it goes well beyond the folks that can't do it.

Sirus is still a stain on this game.

Just lost most of my portals trying to get back into the arena and then getting off-screen die beamed. I have no issues with the actual fight and find the third phase fun; however, once I die the first time, I know there's like a 25% chance I won't be able to get another hit on him and there's nothing fun about that.

This should be a pretty simple fix. Just prevent sirus from performing any actions until he is visible on screen after returning to the arena.

Pretty much this.
I don't "quit poe" because of this shit, but came here just to say that I HATE designer of this boss and fight. These offscreen deaths 5 in row are fucking silly.

How am I supposed to play around this idiotic laser? I have 5.7k ehp, max chaos res, max block, corrupted blood jewel, antibleed and antiburn flasks and STILL i die from ONE shot. WTF is this shit? Why it is still in the game, for what fucking reason? It is not "hard" mechanic, dps check, gear check or whatever usually bosses use. Its just "DIE" and you are dead. I've completed EVERY single content in the game in last 3 years and I hate Sirus and wish he will dissapear in Poe2.

I've fought and beaten him plenty of times, but my eyesight is literally failing and now I can't even see what the fuck is happening anymore.

Do you know how much it makes me want to quit? Bossing is the ENTIRE POINT of the fucking game even existing, that's why we play, to kill bosses. He is THE boss.. And because GGG decided lets make a dark arena, with dark colors, the fight is unable to be seen by people like me.

I went from providing kill services to all my guild to not being able to even see the fight anymore. Sure, I can ZDPS him to phase 4, but the moment phase 4 starts, it's a rip fest. No clue where he is, no ability to visually see him anymore, no clue where he goes. He's just non existant and 1 shotting me from off screen in who knows what fucking direction.

And I mean that literally, I straight up cannot even see the fight. It's just a red blur. It makes me frustrated enough to want to punch a fucking wall.

i feel like something changed in the last week with this fight. yes i am likely being paranoid, but hear me out. i switched to hollow palm build 2 weeks or so before the end of delirium league. Since then i have done however many sirus a8 fights, most of them were deathless, and those that were not cost me one life. i got so consistent and confident in that fight i even did it when i was exping toward lvl 98. (i did that only once though).

then, i did the fight 3 days or so ago? and i got obliterated. 6 deaths in a row on last phase. i could not get close to him i could not find him, i kept getting blasted off screen. i really thought i was done with all that with how flawless my last month-5weeks have been with this fight. ok, i was mad, but i oftne have periods where i am carelss and play really shitty, there has never been a boss in the game i didnt screw around with and got killed by....so i fifugred it was an annomaly, so last night i cued up the next sirus fight and today i went into it. and i barely got through last phase with 3 portals left. all the same things happened, i kept losing track of him, getting blasted, etc.

i have enough dps to prolly drop him in last phase in maybe 5-7seconds? and i just dunno. as much as i despise this fight, i thought i had it down and now i feel like i have no idea what i am doing in it again, like it is pure luck

I'm still killing Sirus A8 everyday in Harvest, and he is still a piece of trash for me. I feel annoyed everytime I fight him. Also I'm a necro build and I still feel like that, it wouldn't be surprising other non-meta builds are completely trashed by his chain-casting-invulnerable shits

The fight is just shit.

I did beat Sirus on awake 5 this week and died to Beams in the last fase.
Tried to get back to sirus and got ofscreened 3 times with that beam while not even being close at him yet.

This is the biggest fail boss i ever saw in this type of genre. Its unfair and just not fun. In other leagues i did beat him on higher awakens aswell btw.
It is just not worth my time. I only do the fight because of the drops but everytime shit like this happends i get reminded why i hate mapping at the moment. There is no fun endgoal.

Just did sirius lvl 5 for the first time, first two phase were ok and fine but the last phase was pretty much this for me, being offscreened by him with his beam, often was managin to just dodge the first beam on audio cue but if fires 2-3 consecutively and I was just tracked to death by the second of third one...

I would say he was visible in my screen like not even 20% of the time... add in the goo red on red stuff everywhere its not helping lmao

I think I'm done lol dont feel like I'll continue mapping just to fight this shit lmao

Pretty sure Sirius damage is going to be rolled back. May be not the first patch, as it would be unfair to HC race may be. But very very soon a lot of changes to boss damage will be done, yet again. Some metamorph bosses also are way overpowered. This is usual GGG tactics, use player base as beta testers to figure out the right amount of balance.

Its not really a GGG tactic. There is simply no other way to get the same feedback an entire playerbase can give as it interacts with the content in many different ways.
