The most annoying thing about the fight is how he hides in the sky and farts death clouds but anyone with a good aura support can just walk into the cloud and bring him down instantly, meanwhile everyone else has to actually go through the incredibly tedious mechanics.

You wait like 10-15 seconds, the clouds move and you can start the next phase. What someone can do with a 5 mirror build or an aurabot with them doesn't really matter - then again you seem willing to complain about everything at this point.

10-15 seconds with him attacking constantly..
It does matter what people can do with an aura bot because it cheezes the entire game.

Not a big fan of the fight either. Watched many guides and it's still a mess every time I do it. Never did it deathless. Get to P3 and then it's "where is he? oh, I'm dead" xD

I don't want to just add another rant, but it seems like every league Sirus fight pretty much ends the league for me. I never get enough practice with the fight so its always no fun. And while so many can just breeze through the content, it takes me a number of weeks and usually a couple builds to get to him. And only twice have I beat him, and once it really didn't count since it was the cheesy harbinger build a couple leagues ago. I just wish there was an easy way to practice the fight.

You've tried twice... and you gave up. That's sad.

Coming from someone who probably hasn't even gotten close to endgame (judging from achievements) in PoE at all... nice passive-agressive against someone that is describing an obvious problem that a lot seem to agree with lol... 1/10

Managed to kill him deathless in my RF Jugg... But yes it's painfull because it's still an easy but very poorly designed fight. For instance the permanent degen areas (not storms) are more dangerous than the boss itself lol only threat I have is when I shield charge into a degen zone by mistake.

Here you either live with GGG stubborness or you leave the game, they ain't gonna change because reasons.

I killed sirus deathless too many times but it's the worst content ever! i have a very powerfull computer but i can't move in sirus sometimes.

32 maps + 4 elderslayers = 36 maps

no drop rate in atlas and sirus.

it's just waste of time!

i hope, sirus will remove in poe 2.0.

So, I have one of the most over powered builds in the game at the moment.

I've fought Sirus 7-times I believe this League (Heist), and have killed him 5-times, deathless twice, and utterly and completely destroyed by him 2 of those times.... which brings me to this thread.

This most recent time I fought him, I don't know if he was bugged or what, but this is LITERALLY how the fight when for me.

P1: Breeze - Dodge Mechanics, stay alive, let my OP Golems wreck him.

P2: Same as P1

P3: Kills me with his "Die" ability, you know the "IMMA FIRIN MY LAZOR" ability. I run back in, before I even get to him, instantly get hit by the lazer before getting to him. Now repeat that 5 more times. I literally didn't get a single hit on him in P3. I had to stay off-screen to dodge, and would get insta-gibbed before I could even see him.

I have 89%FR 86%CR 87%LR - 7.6kES, instantly one shot by his abilities.


The frequency of that lazer was unbelievable. Never once have I seen him use that so many times.


Now. I have to blow through another 32 T15 Maps to fight him again... give me a damn break.

thats just the "anti-aurastacker" rotation. Once u fuck up, u dont get another chance :D

this fight is combiantion of everything i hate in poe
dark arena where not much is visible - check
teleporting badly visible boss - check
ik voidzones - check
ik from over screen - check
mess all over the screen - check
lags - check
ultra long grind to even get there - check


makes me miss good old uber elder with his (only)3 skills
that i cared about
by the time i get to fight him 1st time in league i am already burned out
by atlas grinding

Right, that's it for me as well.

Think this is the third league where Sirus is just strangely bugged for me: lag spike deaths, storms at the instance entrance, off-screen one-shots, etc. On top of that, doing Heists made me crash to desktop every 3rd instance or so...

The game itself is good. I will probably come back for PoE2. For now I wish everyone good fun and maybe see you in the future!

Kind Regards,

Night
