Considering how much time you seem to have to write that many complain comments in this forum, I wonder why you don't use said time instead to actually improve - either your gear or mechanics. I have yet to read a comment of yours that isn't about how the gameplay and financing of the game isn't your taste.

Also, if the build you're playing isn't feeling good enough, try another build.

The endgame is easy if you correctly build and gear up your characters. That's the fact. Blindly getting items that are considered good and not utilizing them correctly is a major mistake.

The real endgame starts in 500+ depth delves. Even with my gear that melts A8 Sirus in last phase in 8-10 seconds, I still get occasionally blasted in delves.

If you are talking about the freezing pulse build. I mean. Sure it seems pretty decent. A bit low on survivability due to lack of flat life and since the chest piece is a pure offensive option, which must have felt awkward vs some of the bosses but I think you would have felt way better with Ice spear totem setup. Also the cast when damage taken cold snap seems weird over a second totem setup with multiple totem support (put down main totems, then the support totem and you have 2 extra totems working for you). Craft a helmet, boots or gloves to make it more than a 4 link and the deeps will show up.

I have a hard time imagining you having trouble killing any of the encounters with that setup though. Maybe awakener was an issue due to low chaos res/no anti bleed, but that's about it.

your gloves does not have life, your boots does not have life, your rings does not have life, your helmet does not have life....
should I list more what you did wrong?

This thread screams just the opposite: if crap build/gear like that can get to 91 and reach red maps, the game needs to be harder not easier!!!

And Sirus fight is not impossible, just a BS of a fight.

Because the problem isn't that I play poorly? I actually play a little better than the average player. But that is as good as it gets. Now before you say that people get better with practice. That isn't true, people can only get so good before they hit their limits. Otherwise everyone would be as good as the best player and every futebol player would be Cristinao Ronaldo. Fact is however, people can only ever get so good. And that is why you have this thing called the average. The average is where the majority of people sit at and it's what's reasonable to expect out of those people. So in a properly balanced game, you balance around the average, not around the very top players.

Also I don't particularly care too much about how GGG finances their game. Sure enough I'd prefer if the model was a little bit better but overall I don't consider it aweful as it is. That said it's not as if constructive criticism ever did anyone's harm.

Lastly, yeah the build doesn't feels good, but here's the thing, the problem is not of the build itself but because like 99%, it requires massive investment before it becomes anything that feel good to play. PoE is a massive gear check right now for the average player. But the problem is, you need good gear to get to the content that actually makes you currency, but you can't do that content without good gear in the first place unless you are in the top 10% of the playerbase. This is a very real problem that needs addressing. Have you ever wondered why there was an almost 50% player drop in the first week of the league alone and after 1 month there was about 1/3 of the starting players? Perhaps it is because people are hitting a wall that they either cannot pass or that it will take them so long to pass that it's not worth playing the game for that long while having as much fun as a swift kick to the balls.

Low life? I have over 5k life in it, I have high mana and a 40% MoM. Survivabillity is gold, except for Sirius which is more of a case. You have 1 million life. Instant death from out of the screen while having massive death pools and rotating lasers to try and prevent you from finding him. Oh and let's not forget his 0.00001 warning time to dodge his attack (ok this last is exageration but it is less than 1 second which is still ridiculous).

BTW, the Ice Spear sugestion, yeah, that's what I use for tough bosses like conquerors and sirius and so on. On conquerors they melt in less than 2 seconds, not a problem, It does pretty good damage to Sirius too but the problem still lies with the ridiculous death beam from off screen with no time to dodge.

Also before you critique the build, go look at freeze pulse / ice spear totem builds. This is what literally everyone uses on high budget. You can't really get much better than that other than investing even more into things like watchers eye and awakening gems. I just got tired of the Sirius BS by that point.

What you consider end game and what others consider end game are not the same thing. Maybe you like to delve. I don't, I don't even care about delve past getting some of the crafting recipes inside. I wouldn't even delve if I didn't need those.

With that out of the way. Sirius, even with a good build and good gear is still not easy because for the average player, you need to be able to tank the death beam and it's made in a way that it's impossible to do so. However you do are right about poeple needing the right builds and good gear. The problem is, you need good gear to do high level content which is where you can start to slowly accumulate currency. But where are you going to get the good gear if you have no currency to buy it?

Look it his profile chars that's all you have to say lol

You're not supposed to tank the beam. It even has an audio cue. You can sidestep it if you're close enough or dodge it with a movement skill.
Tanking it isn't too hard either. Single beamticks can be spellblocked or spelldodged and that's available to most builds.

I know that GGG made it so you are not supposed to tank it. But let's look at the facts here.

Beam kills you in less than nothing.
You are shot from off screen.
The audio cue doesn't even allows for 1 second so you need to have extremely good reflexes.
On top of the bad cue, the beam comes from off screen, you better be lucky to be moving in the right direction.
There is plenty of things that deal ridiculous levels of damage to avoid while at the same time trying to avoid the beam while trying to find him and often failing.

This is just nearly impossible to handle for the average player. The beam should be tankable to a degree. The elder beam was slightly better made in this regard where you could still tank it for a second. It gave you time to get out. With Sirius you don't have time for anything, he says die and you die. That's the end of it.
