Sirus fight is making me quit POE
" I don't get why people rant about sirus being bad for melee. all his dangerous mechanics (die beam etc) are just straight line that have a fixed angular momentum. the safest spots of sirus is being at melee. I mostly play ranged i do the fight a lot perfect it most of the time and my priority in the fight is to keep track of him and staying in melee range to abuse the fact that he cannot rotate fast enought to catch me the closer i am to him. I don't have problem with the sirus mechanics of the fight i even find them not hard enought in the first part of it i just have problem with the arena that is heating up my pc by a lot + his phase time being way too long overall. To vanquish without perils is to triumph without glory.

Just failed Sirius the first time using a melee char. Melee isn‘t that bad for Sirius although i‘m missing my Vaal skills to support in the fight. You cannot get souls before.
However, as mentioned before the crazy thing is you need to run 60 maps to challenge him again. That‘s really crazy. It took me that long to get to this point, league is almost over, and now i need to run from the beginning again....maybe i quit or take a break... |

Yea, when Sirius pops now, I just open the portals, and then toss in a new map so that I can get back to conquerors. F*** that guy.
I dont mind a challenge, but his damage is way over tuned. |

I have no issues with sirus Phases 1-3. And 4 is not too bad if i dont die. If i die to a bad dash or just bad luck since thats 90% of the fight anyhow...then im screwed. Everytime you portal back in you instantly restart at the quad beam phase and his mega beam is all out of timing. He telegraphs the beam with the audio but when the beam goes off a full second before the audio queue....theirs not much to do to avoid it and its almost always a 1 shot.
GGG comon guys make this fight less glitchy please. Not everyone is a streamer who plays 14 hours a day. |

Yes it's real bad game design especially the colour scheme choice. Red on black with blue tints and flicks. I understand they want to make it challenging, but making it near impossible to see what's going on isn't challenging nor fun.
GGG has a tendency to create clusterfuck of a boss fights and being proud of it. And that off screen beam when u try to get back to the arena, whoever designed that really have zero idea of a boss fight, a game suppose allows u to re-engage or at the least fkn zoom out so the player can see what's going on. GGG is great on many areas, but the boss design for Sirus and Catarina are some of the worst I'v ever seen and Chris Wilson signing off to that shows they are losing grip with boss designs |

So I just got my first try for Sirus (5), after dying 6 times and losing all my progress for next level, I decided not to ever try him again. Like others have mentioned, the fight is a cluster fuck and a half, the glitching was annoying, couldn't quite see what the fuck I was doing, off screen laser blast and not knowing what fucking direction they were coming from til it was too late. I would say it's not a FUN fight but a very annoying fight. What fucking fun is it when you can't quite see what the hell is going on? Or, let alone know what TF killed you. POE is getting to the point where it isn't much fun anymore. Sad really.

Did the fight again since my last post.
Confirming the fight is still complete trash. 14/10 sux bad, trash design by a trash designer. |

Again: this fight is not difficult. Once you get enough DPS it's a lottery.
Yesterday I did it again deathles... By luck. Flew first 2 phases like nothing, last phase starts. First of all: he stands inside a cloud and refuse to leave... :facepalm: Had to run around for like 5 mins. His script AI makes him always go TOWARDS THE FUCKING STAIRS. The free zone was in the far left down corner. Finally fight starts. I'm hugging him hard, no problems, dodge clone beam, dodge quad lasers, so far so good. And then... Sirus disappears. "Die!" This time I had time to pop Molten Shell and had adrenaline ready... So I survived. Cycle repeats, but this time he luckly teleported in my field of vision, so I dodged the second "Die!". Fight ends. Too much of a BS for a helmet... "There's no thing like random one-shots in this game. You only die because you take 353,456,237 hits in 0.2 seconds."
