Sirus fight is making me quit POE
" Why are you playing temporary leagues in such grindy game if you have limited time? Play standard. Build your characters slowly but steady. And KEEP your progress. I can't imagine collecting all the watchstones from the scratch every 3 months, while struggling with map sustain. Or searching for trials in order to open uberlab and finally get your last ascendancy points. Or doing the unveiling all over again so you could benchcraft some mods. Temporary league seems like hell to me. We should have this instead of checkpoints: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3677132 Last edited by Flying_Mage#3858 on Mar 25, 2021, 5:02:42 AM

" Thanks for posting but 1) he clearly abuses some mechanics during the fight which I think were not intended when this boss was designed. 2) that guy is running around with 15.5k EHP and there are some parts where he loses a big chunk of his pool. Heart of Purity

" I don't agree. Vaal Oversoul, Piety and Dominus were greatly designed. The 'bullet-hell-type fights' started with Malachai. EDIT: Most of these oldschool boss fights also happen in large arenas where there are options available to protect yourself from incoming damage. All the new boss fights happen in cramped arenas where the place is littered with traps. It reminds me of shoot em ups: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTs-ofUKxDg Used to be really good at those when I was a teenager.

It's a terribly designed fight visually but once you "get it" and there is a lot "to get" it's pretty easy and democratic. I done it with 572K DPS before. So it's not about DPS it's about tracking him and responding well unlike say "the feared" or other maven's maps which overwhelm whole screen with DOTs and delete you if you dont kill fast enough. Total gear checks
The storms move away from you if you just chill and smoke a cigarette. The phases push you away, again if you just chill. Actually try and go into fight and dont do anything. Just look around and dodge with Sirus to get a grip on mechanics. Git R Dun! Last edited by Aim_Deep#3474 on Mar 28, 2021, 5:58:22 PM

" The final phase is where the terrible visuals really play their part in deaths even with experienced player. Everything is reddish with just a slight tinge of blue for a millisecond where sirus ports off to. That's pretty much exactly where gear check comes into the fight...doesnt quite telgrapgh enough so most get beamed or lasered and have to use a couple more portals. Or like you say build a tank to take those shots while you close on him. I wont discuss broken summoners or totems here. This applies to DIY DPS mainly which need to close space and target.

I haven't followed this thread for many pages. The Sirus fight is trash and not fun in my opinion. My question is why should people like me even bother engaging in the fight? The only thing being lost by abandoning the fight is the loot at the end? Isn't that true?

Sirus literally has the best loot from any boss in the game (and imo one of the best boss fight music - 'orion'). Its a bit sad that the fight is a visual clusterfuck.
I'd argue its not even very difficult, compared to something like uber elder. Just fixing a few small things like the storms, reducing the size of his floating avatar (which blocks your view quite a lot), brightening up the arena etc would hugely improve the experience. |

" Best drop in game. Awakeners orb which allows you to put two OP infulences of your choice on an item. (usually always explody is one lol) You give me an explody/crit/frenzy chest and 20c in other gear and I'll do 500 mines and T17s with any toon. Thats how OP it is not even joking a little. No single item has been that way since instant leech acuity gloves. If you trade doesnt matter. Just sell inapplicable for applicable and have a nice day. Git R Dun!
