The Sirus Fight is Really Badly Designed

I'm not saying that this arena isn't cluttered and awful, it really seemingly is for sure.

I'm just saying that you could have a +golem life wand and maybe that would help.

And just pointing out that going to the top boss of the game with a Tabula Rasa, you definitely can't just expect everything to go well.

Ice Golem - 12899 HP
Stone Golem - 20937 HP
Chaos Golem - 17919 HP
Lightning Golem - 14000 HP

This is not a question of the HP pool, but of how the minions move and are located around me. They go nearby and therefore fall into a storm.

Of course, I did not expect anything grandiose going there with Tabula Rasa, but I did not think that my minions would die in seconds due to the poor design of the boss. My own death does not surprise me.

Yeah that's quite low to me.

If I were you I would maybe try with meat shield on the golems + deathmark ? not sure about that last one.
You need to flip that convocation gem too for sure.

But again, I do agree about those "storms" being BS

Nah, that won't work. Stone golem with minion life and meat shield dies nearly instantly too. Damage of storm cloud is absolutely insane, and minions just love to wander around.

Let's try to 'jump over this sheet



After jumping over 1 vortex

The storms are still blocking the entrance with no way for you to get out, once it got there the fight just end, even if you have multiple portal left. This is ridiculous. Epic design failure.

I can't agree more! I just fought Sirus only to get stuck in a triple meteor with the exit being blocked up by a bullet hell storm... WTF???

Then I try to get back to him ASAP and the storms have blocked off every way possible to get back to him LMAO!

This boss feels like a rushed work in progress, the Cortex boss felt way more interesting / challenging than this.

This is absolutely the worst bossfight in the game by far.

After several attempts as melee it's night impossible even after getting to the 3rd phase. Really disappointed with their design, those vortexes are just a cheap way to punish players during a boss invulnerable phase.

At least bosses such as cortex, izaro, UE, atziri gives tell tale signs to warn players to avoid attacks without dumb mechanics such as sirus.

Sirusly, screw this fight. Too bad I can't use worse words here.
50% of the time this boss is invulnerable and spawns no mobs throughout the fight so you have no means of leeching/replenishing flasks(compare to shaper/elder/uber elder/delve bosses/any other boss in game), so some builds are faceslapped already at this point.
Stupid vortex mechanics that can kill you faster than your blink finger reaction/cast time. What's the point of them 'draining' life - just make them instagib you if you come too close! With them not resetting after you died and waiting right at the entrance to the area, you make 1 mistake - you waste whole fight.
The vortex damage must be at least halved to make this playable. Or change them to Delve darkness mechanic - so you could at least stay in there for 3-5 seconds to actually notice what's going on before dying.
And surprisingly, when it's not needed, the fight actually resets - when you die while fighting Sirus in his arena he resets to being invulnerable and spawns a vortex again after you come back, and again you have to lure it away. Why reset now instead of letting players to continue with their progress?
Looking at the boss own attacks - he's nothing special. And that is what making the fight even more frustrating, it's not boss killing me - it's his arena. I can survive meteor and lasers, but blink a little too far and you're instantly dead because of vortex at any time of whole fight. When fighting uber elder you could see an attack that kills in one hit and be ready for it, in this fight 1 hit death is always around you. Devs, did you play too much syobon action or what?

Cool chair bro but thats about it.

they did such a good job on the other 4 exile fights,but the sirus fight is a sad joke...
the boss attacks are fine,the vortex dmg is not....

after seeing this fight it makes me happy that i dont like even 1 of the new supporter packs,as long as the fight stays like this i dont wanna support them at all.

It's great to see the storms can still prevent you from re-entering the arena if you die during the fight.



Spend 5 hours running maps to spawn influence and get each conqueror to spawn. Start the encounter then die and then realize the entire attempt is bricked because the storms can still spawn in your entry point. Repeat the cycle of having to spend another 5 hours to spawn Sirus and hope this time this shit doesen't bug. I don't get how you go from a fight like uber elder or aul to this which is supposed the ultimate endgame fight


Good shit.
