The Sirus Fight is Really Badly Designed

I'll just give one piece of feedback on Sirus...

When an optimal strategy is to relog because the area is filled with bad floor or time is required to be spent "luring" or dragging the bad floor into other positions for the SOLE PURPOSE of being able to re-enter the room and fight the boss...you f'ed up.

Interesting mechanics and all, but when people are constantly relogging not because of the damage the boss is putting out but because of the positioning of bad floor in the room, its just not a well designed fight. At all. And its not fun to watch someone struggle with it, or try to understand it. At all.

Someone can brick their attempt because bad floor is blocking the entrance. Thats crappy design. And before anyone says 'git gud scrub'...remember, the casual out numbers you and if every casual/semi casual throws their hands up in the air and quits POE because they'll never see or beat the end boss because its NEEDLESSLY frustrating, your game suffers. Less $$ coming in for expansions.

Redesign the fight and/or fix mechanical design flaws.

Still dying, dying and dying. Why?

Because im stuck in corridor/maze wall and he kill me.
Because if u deal not enough damage, Sirus spawn 3-4 storms instead two and you simple dont have enough space for maneuver. So... Three phases or do not even try.
Because storm homing to entrance and no matter how many portals you have.
Because labyrinth spawns on stairs and you blocked.
Because I thought there was no storm behind the screen and used Flame Dash, but he was there and I died in a second.
Because the flying boss is blocking part of the screen and I don’t see what's on the ground.

This is just not fair. More than half of the deaths are due to the fact that you either do not see something, or because of a bug.

One day I will be able to kill him stable and without problems, but it is the most randomly, stupid, lazy and unfair design of all that the world has seen before. And the most interesting thing is that the developers are silent. No one came out and said that "We are working to fix this idiotic boss, arena and storms!". Apparently he should be like that? This would not be a big deal if it were another league, but this is the core of the game! We must do this for at least one year! And yes, people still continue to farm Shaper and Elder, and it seems that everyone doesn’t care about Sirus. Great final boss! Great job!

I was counting on an interesting fight with the final boss, and I got RandomGlitchBugStormBullshit Fest. This is a spit in the face of the players.

Arena, boss... why is all this needed? Place the NPC at the entrance to the location and let the player roll the dice. 1-4 you lost, 5-6 you won. Then a couple more throws on the quality and quantity of loot. Anyway, instead of a skill, we should increase EHP, damage and luck.

Yes, Uber Elder also had his own glitches, but he had clear phases, a clean arena and understandable mechanics. Well, you know, not filling up 99% of the screen with damaging storms, mines, and what else is he casting there.

Agree. I run melee. If not a high reg build, its kind of hard to sustain. Environmental damage everywhere. When I tried to get back into the fight, I had to walk through the storms, because there was no other way. Even I went through the gap between the storms, still cost half of my life. Kind of like fighting shaper with vortex everywhere, no where u can stand.

TRUE

environmental damage was already out of fucking line, and this league was the worst time to nerf melee they could think of

its like they always balance for the past league, never the one coming

ive been mostly just flipping items and currency at work, i dont open the game when im home and free to play what i want, i just play my rf jugg at work cause its something i can leave afk in a map

after having my atlas bugged out i guess its the 2nd shit league in a row for me

I'd like to throw out a question, how does a scorching ray character beat sirius, besides lucking out on rng shit?

As someone sayd here, this is GGG's response to the Power-creeps. Developers if you see this i'm glad, your players are starting to get bored of the game because it became lame to farm 4-5 hour atlas then fail at endgame in a pointless vortex arena and finaly they will quit because you didn't even made it a "resume fight" like Uber Elder. At uber elder at least if you've failed you coulded resume fight by placing fragments in the device, instead you chosed a masochist ideea that people will love to farm 24h a day in order to make 3 fights lmao

P.S : GG you showed the power creeps whose the "boss" !!!

Yeah, 20 people farmed uber elder casually, for most of us it was still challenging, not a lot of people has the achievement, and a big chunk of that paid for it for the league challenges

its good that ggg listens to their content creators more than say, blizzard or riot, but this makes me apreciate how both of those companies balance for both suckers like me and gods like serral and faker, not just around zizaran and mathil making the content explode in seconds.

GGG are taking the piss going from summoner meta league to this boss fight lol
spectres just die instantly what a joke time to reroll or respec xD

This fight made me legit quit the game for good. It is not fun.

i hate SIRUS.

he dealt tooooo high damage!

then i stopped this game.

Delete fuckin sirus!!

man...
ggg where is your quality or damage control?
all these unsatisfied people here want something improved and you do nothing

%75/%75 block chance
%90 physical damage redution
%200+ all resist
%100 chaos (immune)
16k energy shield

one shot. I exit 1 minute ago and i'm gonna sell everything.

I killed sirius in awakened level 4 with deatless but this time, i'm really nervous.

I won't play anymore this league. I spent 100+ exalted orbs for my build but there is no result. I do not want to spend more effort because it is always wasted

Too many ms in servers. Too many fps drop. No one doing something. They are just releasing mtx.

it will eventually be like diablo
