People are doing Sirus 8 with no issues with this build with 11-12k ES and around 2400-2500 Intelligence.
I can tell you that i can survive the 3rd phase triple beam taking it straight in the face with my flasks up (Wise Oak/Sulphur/Basalt) with 17-18K ES i have now. Meteor can be more deadly especially in the third phase it can hit you for more than 25K ES, i tested it previous league where my char had "only" 34K ES :))

Uber Elder is way easier if you know the fight you can do it with 10-11K ES and around 2000 Intelligence.

Legit question here, at what point is this possible? The whole farming Sirus 8 and Uber Elder? Is there a benchmark damage threshold and ES pool needed to manage kills especially with low FPS? I did Sirus 6 last night and constantly got obliterated in the last phase. I almost had him down and burned my last portal. Between low frames, tons of visual clutter from storm, the one use of frostblink/awkward use of cyclone and (Flame)Dash, it feels pretty rough. I know I'm nowhere near done gearing, but before I spend more money finalizing my chest and getting a hunter orb for the %int slam on my helm, I'd like to know if I'm getting close or not.

You're attempting to do Sirus 6 at ~6400 ES. Your chest really needs an ES upgrade. Maybe you can craft defensive modifiers on it with Harvest. It's a great chest otherwise.

Your gloves also need an ES upgrade.

You have more than enough DPS for Sirus.

I would go for full ES and forget the explode (which doesn't help on boss fights.) Your ES recovery is a percentage, so you're more tanky the more ES (ignoring the +ES on hit Watcher's gem.)

Dunno about the significance of surviving Sirus with say 5k life compared to 7k ES. Too many variables.

If I wanted to try out Spell Cascade, what gem do I take out for it?

I managed to roll cold to the core and corrosive elements on a large. What's the rule on Corrosive stacking with bomb anyway? Bomb is a bigger degree but gosh auto-exposure seems great.

Also I think I can safely add Doryani's Lesson without risking it, that does get converted to ES right?
