Abyssus vs the Awakener is not a good idea!

It's a Jugg helm and only a Jugg helm IMO.

I agree to this. Only Juggs are the only ones that can handle Abyssus coming to endgame. But even I wouldn't dare using on big daddy.

on SC anyone can handle abyssus if you actually build for it, the dps it gives is pretty insane.

Besides vs Sirius Abyssus has been really useful. I can grind tier 15 maps with little risk. Some of the more crazy metamorphs on tier 16 can sometimes cause a rip.
I usually got 60%ish block and spell block with my staff. 80% dmg reduction + some from endurance charges + less dmg from fortify and arctic armor.
Also got Rumis for more armour and block.
The fact that i crit and freeze and chilm alot also helps my survivabilty.

But I guess i need to get a more defensive helm for bosses like Sirius to stand a chance.
Sucks to Sacrifice so much dmg tho..

Does Sirus do all damage types? The wiki says his beams do high elemental damage, then the other thing applies corrupted blood, and the storms definitely do chaos and something else, but is there a way to be sure there's physical?

OP: you're wrong about Endurance charges, they DO mitigate Damage Over Time (as do things like Soul of Steel).

Fortify, Arctic Armour, and your armour rating explicitly mitigate damage from hits.

It's very important to carefully check the wording of everything in this game; as clunky and obfuscated as things can certainly appear at times, the exact specific words used are very, very important.

Cool thats good to know, guess i should invest in 2+ endurance charges and ditch abyssus for Sirus. Got no issue generating em.
Btw I would also want to know what dmg he does with his attacks.

decoy totem can be your friend

PoE...the only isometric hack n slash ARPG with no combat log. It's a wonder GGG thinks this makes sense or is hunky dory.
