I did it both on a cyclone slayer (first kill in standard) and my first real necro in league - I say real because I converted one of my partially finished sorcs to necro but never actually leveled one till metamorphosis.

It's not so much melee as it is mobility. The fight is pretty tame till the 3rd phase, but then you have to constantly track him and get to him quick after he teleports or risk laser beam of death.

I was initially under the impression the death beam only tracks players at higher awakening levels, but even at 0 I'm pretty sure he tracked my poor necro just because I was too far.

But more than anything it makes me miss uber elder - not only was that fight harder, but it also felt more "fair". Running a necro for the first time on my toaster and the dynamic resolution kicking on makes it very hard to see any meaningful detail in that fight. On my cycloner, it typically kicks in too, but I can at least see what's still going on.

I play 10 builds this season, 4 of them are melee
- EQ scion
- Cyclone Jugg
- Bladestorm Champion
- Frostblade raider

All of them can handle Sirus AL8 easily, too easy that it's kind of boring to kill him. Champion & Raider beat him pre-nerf.

Beating Sirus is all about being able to deal with the "DIE" beam in phase 3. For that you either need to be able to stick close to Sirus so you can jump behind him when he uses the beam or you just need enough bulk to outright tank it. I am consistently to stupid for the former so I stick to the latter. Every time he says "die" I just smile and cast molten shell and that's it. Being melee helps with both points as you will typically be bulkier than casters and you will be close to him anyway or at least you will try. Sirus is literally one of the bosses in this game where being ranged has no advantage what so ever.

it is exactly the same like with any other top endgame boss. You have to KNOW what to do and what not to do. You can learn with trial and error but it takes some time. Fortunately there is PoE community with guides and tips which can greatly help understanding what is going on and how to react.

OK thx for the answers. It apperas that im just bad at it. Gonna try either way and eventually i will kill him.

But i really dont enjoy this encounter.

Take care and be well.

I have killed Sirus at awakener level 8 about 35 times, playing melee build and can't remember the last time i died to Sirus. Can't say the same for Über Elder though (die once in a while to that).

Have a look at the build COC ball lightning cyclone.

First phase - Sirus is a wimp, turns to a storm ball. you have to run away.

simple.

Second phase - Sirus is wimpish - he starts with his corridor or circles. if you know this and can run away you also can get away with it.

simple.

Third phase - Sirus starts shooting a blue-grayish beam that 1 shot me. and 1 shot everyone i guess. how can you survive that?

so i die.

go back - again, Sirus with his beam again.

let's say i survived this.

Fourth phase - Sirus starts with his "+" shaped laser beams. no prob. the prob is that his 1 shot beam shoots again.

i did sirus a8 at least 6 times. the prob is that i at least 6 times lost all 6 portals.
it's one hard fight. too hard.

Let me guess. You died to his "Die" triple beam. That one is rather tricky, he shoots 3 lazers each with another element (fire, cold, lightning) The last laser afflicts 20 stacks of corrupted blood on your which kills even Energie shield characters within a second.

You either have to dogde that or have "corrupted blood cannot be afflicted on you" jewel somewhere socketed. He also follows you with the beam in the last phase, in the first and second he just shoots in on your last location stationary.

I died alot to him because of that, but only because i didn't knew the mechanics.


One thing i would love to see more are the audio queues they implented with the elderslayers and sirius.
I wish they would do that on other bosses too. It makes dodging certain abilites much easier if you can't see the boss because of the effects from MTX or your skills.

poor GGG.
and yesterday i was proclaming that sirius fight becomes too easy after they solve the storms problems.
i'm like 10x1 , and i just lost due to storm clownfiesta closing the entrance.

how to solve that? for some people this games is a joke, no challenging at all...
seeing this post i can confirm this game is not for kids, sorry mate but there is a big problem with your friends builds or abilities :/

like, league of legends isn't a bad game for me just because i cant pass through gold, i just suck :(, sometimes humble people recognize that problem are themselves.
