So i just had my second AL 8 Sirus attempt since 3.10 launch, in 3.9 i was able to beat him reliably though not always deathless. Now in 3.10 i have a hard time even getting to his last phase, not mention beating him in that form. I like the fact that they buffed the first half of the fight as that one was pretty boring in 3.9 but now it's become completely ridiculous for a couple of reasons.
- The projection hanging in the sky is regularly blocking my vision so i can't see sh*t (even less than normal which isn't much in this fight anyway. People are complaining about grey in grey in Delirium but Sirus black on black isn't any better.)
- The warning time of the meteor attack from his projection that leaves degen pools is pretty much zero. The moment i see the white flares on the ground i am already dead. I literally have to move away from him everytime the white flash occurs telegraphing a projection attack so my average attack window is like 2 seconds, if that.
- His corridor attack and meteor attack regularly teleport me into degen pools which is instant death most of the time.
- His corridor attack often has it's exit outside the safety ring, sometimes even in a Vortex. Best case scenario, it's not a Vortex but exiting the corridor will cause him to summon another Vortex so i have to play the waiting game with him, again.
- Sirus last phase is a compete absurdity at this point. In 3.9 it was already bad enough with all his teleporting off screen DIE beaming and 2 of his 4 attacks making him invulnerable but now it's pretty much 4 out of 4 attacks where his invulnerable. Meteor and clone circle haven't changed but the corridor move, previously like the only decent DPS window in the entire fight is now worthless due to the 80% reduction. I have like 1,5-2 Million dps on all my chars, even in 3.9 the fight took 10 to 15 minutes, with that reduction on top it isn't even worth attacking him anymore.The 4 beam orb is also essentially a "can't attack him" phase as passing through the beams means certain death if he uses his DIE beam or meteor so you have to wait them out. That's another 20 seconds or so every time where you do nothing but waiting (and dodging potential DIE beams ofc).
The sheer amount of "you can't touch" me phases in this fight is absurd, you spend more time running around/waiting for him to become attackable than actually fighting him and honestly, waiting isn't fun or engaging, it's just annoying and boring.
So please, for the love of God, fix this "fight". The fight is borderline impossible for normal people at this point and what's worse, it's completely unfun because most of the things that kill you are outside of your control/have no counterplay and you spend half an hour waiting for him.
