I reviewed your PoB and everything looks nice. Your HP is decent with room for improvement. I prefer you use an Ancestral Protector to bonus attack speed and swap Faster Attack with a damaging support gem (I recommend Cruelty). Molten Shell and Immortal Call shares a CD so I don't think you can run both of them in a CWDT set up. This league I run only Immortal Call + CWDT and a stand alone Vaal Molten Shell for map bosses. Although not necessary, I recommend running Enduring Cry during drawn out fights to preserve life flasks.

To be honest, I don't see anything missing from your PoB to properly fight Sirus. If you have the currency, you can invest in Corrupted Blood immunity.

So maybe it comes down to your fighting style. So this build can tank normal attacks but still need to dodge the remaining mechanics (as much as possible).

This is my first A8 in Expedition with much worst gear than yours, perhaps it will help you.

I have a question, I see your medium cluster jewel use ;

- Wasting affliction
- Wound Aggravation

While I'm using ;

- Rend
- Wound Aggravation

Did you think I should opt out rend with Wasting Affliction?

Ya, I think my fighting style was bad when fighting sirus, cause I'll die only on the last phase. I have always been hit with the beam and it makes me slow AF.

One more question, how are you lvling this character until lvl 100?

Did you spam doing Simulacrum?

I think my Rend vs Wasting Affliction calculation in the guide still holds true. Wasting Affliction is marginally better than Rend. I will revisit this when I am done with challenges.

The beams slow you and make you take increased damage. If you ever watched HC or gauntlet Sirus attempts, getting beam stacks certainly means logging out. You can reduce your DPS in this phase and focus on dodging.

For this league I solo leveled to L98.7 (just mapping) then did a 5-way (5 sets) to get to L99. Not serious considering for L100.

(Edit: Just kidding, did 5-way until L100 to finish my EGG.)

Simulacrum is needed for my EGG so I have to do it, not really for experience.
