the sirus fight is the worst thing ever

That's interesting sorry I genuinely didn't know as early on the word went around on HC that touching the lasers = RIP so I'd rather tank a beam than get hit with them :p

It definitely has too high of a penalty for death vs all the other bosses and I agree its rough on melee, they had an easier one when they first launched Sirus with much bigger gaps between his attacks and it was comfortable enough on melee but once they rejigged him uptime became pretty small.

I think the issue most players have as melee on Sirus is actually accepting its just going to take twice as long as it should which isn't easy to make yourself tolerate tbh.

I farmed him a lot this league, both versions, and I gotta say the regular one is fine, one of my favourite fights overall.

The uber on the other hand is stupid (the last phase specifically).

Would be fine if it had some sort of properly visible skill based system where you can handle the ground degen placements (similar to maven / shaper / u.elder), but as it is the only way for most builds to handle him is to kill him before any of that shit happens, which I hate as a logic :)

I don't think any of the ubers were thought through, they look more like one-hour commit of "bruh, some players squeeze the shit out of our game, oneshotting our bosses, just buff all boss stats/cooldowns several times and release". GGG couldn't care less about character build parity with regards to ubers, and those fights amplify existing game design problems to the extreme.

Yeah I personally can't see the design in the uber fights. Maven is clearly a designed fight for example to ensure that certain elements are fair but the Ubers are more like how can I turn a mechanic up without it becoming impossible.

I much prefer the former, the 2nd is OK only if you tie non-loot behind it so Ubers for challenges is fine in my book Ubers with specific drops is not.

and im not even talking about the boss himself and him shooting beams but those chaos novas to which you die 4 times on the way back to the boss because there is no indication where to go, like pfrrrrtt hahahahaha its so horrible

I haven’t glanced through this thread but can you imagine it can get worse? Check out the maven fight - the memory game is absolutely stupid. It’s hard to believe something like that exists in this game.

Tbh it was total garbanzo some patches ago but now it is quite easy, unless you just blindly charge at the boss instead of waiting for the storms to open a path.

First off, the guy above complaining about memory game. You're trolling right?

On sirus, to me the ground degen sucks but as long as you can kill him as he lands its no big deal. What is extremely stupid and uncalled for is the storms. If you die or end up in between them you can literally just be stuck there for minutes waiting for it to move. It used to feel like you could manipulate their movement by getting close but now it doesn't feel that way.

Most of the stuff is a non issue if you're farming regular sirus with 50-80m dps. Those storms though....
