Sirus fight is making me quit POE

https://youtu.be/z6n7FaQTCvg

The amazing thing is, it seems to get worse every single league.
- At least now its not Red on red, on black on red... lol

Not fixed in 3.14, horrible visibility, buggy (got stuck "in" the explosive walls), losing half of my level because there's no fragments (s4), so it's not manageable to report the fight.

Died while he had 10% left. Last phase is completely messed up: i means visually this is a non-sense, following the voice helps but if you dont have a very high dps (or not being able to tank) the fight only deliver an unfair output. As much fun as getting a free ride on a minefield with the option to bypass it with good items.

The only good point is that, at least, didn't buy any MTX since more than a year or so, since Sirus exists btw.

And no, i am not "continuously" saying bad things about the game. My last probation should only have been for hard language toward the person who "designed" the Crimson Township boss.

3/10

I don't like it either. But once they put those uber drops behind bosses - they have to gate the hell out of it to not destroy economy and/or trivialize game.

What uber drops are you talking about? The best thing you can get out of Sirus is an Awakener Orb and the only other worthwhile drop among endgame bosses is Watcherseye which is gated behind layers upon layers of RNG to begin with, aside from being gated behind a boss.

They don't put such a grind in front of everything to protect the economy, they do it to increase playtime. You want to beat a boss, so you grind to get there. Then you fail because you don't know the mechanics, and grind there again, and again, and again. By that the time you've beaten him you've player for dozens or hundreds of hours. Then it's time for the next boss. That's the point of it. If you could freely access everything, you'd reach your goal faster and play less.

Well most were nerfed...but back in the day...

Acuity was THE item... you basically trivialized everything with high EHP and instant leech... thats why it costed 120ex. Her axe was not too bad back then either like 45ex.

shaper/elder helmet, chest, gloves, flask, staff, mace all build enabling and or nerfed.

As far as Sirus Hand of templar and Savoir are crazy op.

Aul always had the weak drops though....


I can agree it's also to make you play longer but you wouldnt care to fight them if drops sucked.

It's not just Sirus, it's also Maven and 3/5 "uncharted realms" crucible arenas. Sirus can be fixed simply by making meteors easier to spot; last two on the other hand... Simply put Maven is pure RNGfest (I'll try avoiding mentioning the stupid memory minigame) and last 3 crucibles are 10:90 skill to gear check clusterfuck where damage is literally unavoidable so you have to nuke stuff even worse than you had to when shapuh and uber elduh were a thing.

I get it, things like that are put in the game for 3-5 mirror broken builds that melt everything on screen but bad design is bad design. If this is what the future holds for the endgame, it ain't pretty since there is next to no middle ground

Not that the Sirus fight is well designed, but I believe it is doable. I died to him a couple times in the beginning and it is frustrating that you need to do so much mapping just to get him to spawn back. The biggest frustration to me is the camera zoom that goes super zoomed in in the final phase where Sirus can teleport to the other side of the arena, you don't know where he is and have to walk around to find him, just for him to teleport away again. Please zoom the camera out much more in this fight!

They zoom in the camera on purpose. Boss teleporting outside of view and oneshotting you is a staple of this game. Shaper does it. Sirus does it. Maven does it. Various heist mobs do it. Vaal snakes do it. Veritania wishes she did it.

New league, new fun.
I managed Sirus since it was introduced. He already make me quit league once.
Annnnnndddd again.
This TP out of view instant beam one shot + slow beam make me crazy.
Run randomly for "dodge" this beam...
I love this fight for immersion but this is the really worst boss fight created...
Yes I QQ, but I love this game but I need to leave it for my mental health.

Even now in 3.16 this boss is still fucking stupid nobody wants to do that
My friend and many other people from Global 820 just sell Sirius 8 for people that take 0 damage from his abilities and have insane life regen they pay 1 ex for him and u just go make urself a coffe

I'm not able to kill him with chaos damage. So, my game progress is a dead end now. Games should be fun. GGG doesn't care about that. Nobody wants the clunky Sirus mechanics. How many players have to leave, before GGG finally reacts?
