Worse fight Kateryna or Sirius?

Sirus has the worst boss arena with the camera constantly zooming in and out, stairs straight up bricking the fight and storms that can block the entrance. Also if you die during the last phase it's GG - he will offscreen you from 2 screens away as you try to run back xD

Also the colors - everything is red on red on black on grey, why does GGG keep doing this...

Dmg to the mana = the chaos part

From a Visual standpoint.. Sirus by far. Red and Black everywhere while the lightning is also red and dark.. it hurts my Eyes. Catarina was bad at first as well but Sirus is visual Clusterfuck on a new level.

And if the many Bugs of Sirus are fixed he will be a pretty enjoyable Fight. I lost more then one Attempts to the Meteor Maze being blocked by Stairs, a obstacle that didn't get destroyed by a Storm or a invisible Wall and then a Storm just sits on the Entrance for no reason (i always kite my Storms South so there shouldn't be a Storm on the entrance :x ).

I'm never been bothered by storms spawning on the entrance for Sirus.

The problems with Sirus I have are:

- He bugs and spawns more storms than he should.
- He teleports outside the arena and out of sight (often inside storms), making it impossible to dodge triple laser
- He spawns meteor on the stairs which block you from escaping the maze
- His targeting range can be fucked up, if you die to some bug or lack of luck and come back to fight him, he starts attacking you with triple laser far too quickly -- way before you can even see where is he -- making it impossible to dodge.

Or you go through the door and he immediatly casts the 2 walls around you.. while a storm is slowly creeping towards you :P

I thought the Mastermind fight was really bad. Overall really confusing to follow.
But Dayum when I tried Sirus the first time today...that fight is way beyond it in fucked up stuff.
I have been killing the other Conquerors over and over with relative ease and what they did overall made sense...

But this is just dumb. And I'm Melee aswell...not Cyclone. Real melee where you actually have to stand there and try to smack him in the face. While a whole set of random shit is thrown at you. Which also really hard to tell what it is.
The confusing vortexes etc is also really frustrating.


Looking back at fights like: Eldar, Shaper, Izaro, Malachai, Atziri they where alot less messy and actually made sense.

Feels like very little concideration is being taken into if you are melee. Boss fights seam to encourage builds where you can just run around and let something else do dmg for you. Stacking dots, totems, minions etc..
A bit bummed out by this. Been having fun otherwise with melee in this league.

The Sirus ass clouds of insta death fight has to be the worst boss fight mechanic in my close to 40 years of video gaming.

Total game breaking bullshit fight.

Hope they are proud of all the people they have chased away from the game.

Massive hyperbole or you have literally played like zero online and mmorpg games.

Also this isn't even close to the insanity that was uber atziri back in the day. She was virtually impossible for most builds.

POE Is different now...Tencent and all. I read a post a guy wrote that explained it beautifully. The new economic model is based on rotating players rather than a solid loyal fan base. As long as the money hits the bottom line the game can be broken and nothing will change. If it stops making money it is "fixed" so that it does or it is abandoned for the next thing. You leave, the next player comes along. Nothing changes but the login name.

We are seeing something like 29% in this league playing necromancer despite all the nerfs. All rangers asendancies are like 10% combined.
I think poorly designed bosses encourage people to go for a certain type of build.

I have played melee with lots of block and spellblock. Worked great, killed lots of conquerors, some guardians shaper and eldar, Mastermind, the Synthesis boss and overall solid vs Metamorphs even if i get blown to peices on occations.

Then I run into Sirius and its just a nightmare of effects and shit. It was just a massacre.

Also tried Uber Atziri but ripped on the 3 guards. They are so tanky now and deal insane amounts of damage. That is fine for builds that don't actually have to get close.
But a total nightmare for someone going melee.

I like that the game is more difficult but think its fucked up when some builds clearly suffers for it more. Seams to be all about having some trapper, summoner or some insane dot stacking dmg.
Think with this it will further discourage people to go for other builds.
