The Sirus fight is still dogshit.

How is it still like this, years later? Dude just buries himself in the environment, lmfao. I'm losing portals to bad RNG with their spawning and movement. Sometimes I enter the arena and have literally nowhere to go for like 60 seconds. Or it will look like I can blink past the tight gap between two storms, then after I teleport, NOPE, turns out there was a 3rd storm right past my LoS and now I'm trapped because all 3 of them now started to close in on me. Losing portals to the environment, while the boss is afk making toast, is such awful design lmao... Why do I have to say this out loud???

Why is this game always ALMOST good, then isn't? There's maybe 2 good boss fights in the whole game. It's insane how bad the others are.




In before "skill issue" slop-posts, which I guess is exactly why this game never gets better. The gatekeeping is so real. (Took us 20 years to get an auction house because of the same gatekeeping, LOL!)

Anyway, there's some feedback. Might help clue us in as to why this game is always having to spike player count via new hype for Leagues, instead of just being a good enough core game to keep people all the time.

P.S.

All of these boss maps where you have to go through like 4 redundant rooms for no reason before returning to the boss... What are we doing???

Exactly this. You’ve already pinpointed the issue yourself, now it’s just about trusting that instinct and acting on it.

The game never received an actual auction house, and it’s also not 20 years old either. lol

Defending the Sirus fight is insane. It's a skill issue that he's camping in the clouds? It's a skill issue that dying once means he's gonna Die Beam you from off-screen every time you re-enter?

Thanks for proving my point.

lmao.

Yes, indeed it is. You, the player, have control over the clouds and when to engage Sirus between phases.

Again, yes - it is.

You have sound cues and should have a rough idea where the boss was positioned before you died (dying in the first place is what you would refer to as "skill issue", but let's not go there) and can re-engage accordingly, all while utilizing your travel skills to avoid getting "off-screened".

it's the best bossfight of the game, what are u talking about lol

It really is a horrible fight even after all the "fixes". He was way worse in Metamorph league. The whole fight is basically RNG, especially the uber version. Sometimes I can do Uber Sirus without taking a single hit, sometimes I will die 2-3 times just because he decided to move his storms a certain way/did a certain pattern of attacks.

Oh and unskippable RP immunity phases with long dialogue, that's always fun.

One of the best pinnacle fights in the game imo.
I'd be happy if Sirus was in PoE2 instead of the pinnacles there.

Uber Sirus can be a little rng with the ground degen, but otherwise still a fun fight.

It's good in his own arena.Everything in his own arena is player skill and compared to other bossfights you can do him with pretty bad gear because of that. But outside of it, it is absolute lazy dogshit and should have never been part of the feared encunter. THey actively made the feared ancounter worse. Sirus should not be allowed to spawn walls outside of his arena and do the beams that go roudn and slow. It Does not work in the maven arena, where you usually roll a few modso n there aswell.
THere needs to be at least some amount of stricter global cooldowns for sirus so that he doesn't go from one phase to another thta both heavily affect how you fight the other bosses aswell.
