    Sirus isn't disliked just because he's hard or unintuitive. It's largely because it doesn't even feel like a "fight" for most of the encounter.

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 07:26 AM PST

    You spend most of the fight running around or just waiting. It's like fighting the Bed of Chaos in Dark Souls. It's incredibly annoying and unfun if you don't know what to do, and incredibly tedious and boring once you do know because you're not even really fighting anything most of the time.

    Contrast that with Uber Elder where you're constantly engaging with him in an interesting way.

    Invuln phases in a boss fight needs to stop happening in gaming

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 06:42 PM PST

    I'm saying this as a player who killed Sirus on day 6 of league and have been farming him ever since with a 90% or better kill rate, think I failed about 14 times. I waited a few weeks before posting because I wanted to see if my initial opinion stayed with me for awhile and yea, it did.

    I feel invuln seems to be a crutch with game devs when they don't know how to handle the power creep they've introduced into the game and can no longer balance properly.

    I get it, you guys don't want [12 second shaper kills](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfhr6k1SOsI) anymore. Or insta-killing map bosses. Invulnerability phase isn't how you achieve this in the future. Every single mainstay staple boss you've ever designed has it and I'm just a bit sick of standing there waiting for it to go away. Atziri, Shaper, Elder, Uber Elder, and now Sirus.

    I don't know if other players feel the same way or not, but I for one just think Sirus fight takes the invuln phase a little too far and I'm only really fighting him for about 10% or less of the fight. I just don't want the next boss to also be a 90% invuln fight of positioning things and waiting for animations. I love the mechanics of the fight, i just want more action and less waiting.

    Am I alone in feeling this way? How do other players feel about the invuln phases creeping into the boss fights we're doing? What could be a better way to design the bosses to mitigate this?

    Edit: Wow didn't expect this to blow up. And yes, I agree I love the Lich fights where you go into a side area and do a mini boss. I love Atziri fight cause there are adds to hit. These fights were extremely well done and give you something to do, the invuln phases don't feel oppressive in their invulnerability phase. I guess this was my aim. I don't want another Sirus fight, I want more fights that give us something to do besides dodge for 90% of the fight. Elongate the fights by adding mini bosses, puzzles in side rooms, things that warp us (shaper style), do more of this kind of stuff GGG, please. Let's not do another Sirus fight with 90% of invuln where you just stare at him and have to run out of a crater.

    Also, no idea why the reddit formatting isn't working for my embedded link *shrugs*.

    It's about time the Atlas and the Map Stash tab were integrated

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 06:29 AM PST

    The amount of time I've spent in this league searching for the right maps for the right zones is incredibly high, and very poor UX design. Yes, I can do a text search, and yes that kind of gets the job done in the short term, but isn't it time we can just click on the Atlas, select a map, and open the appropriate tab with all of those maps?

    +1 to all skill gems on amulet is currently bugged.

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 02:50 AM PST

    2 videos showing the bug

    Vid #1 : https://streamable.com/cvz6g

    Vid #2 : https://streamable.com/w0n3n

    I found out was that my +1 to all skill gems amulet is bugging out the damage from my storm brand setup. To get the +1 benefit, you have to resocket the gems, or re-equip the amulet, even though on the skill gem tooltip, it shows it IS getting the +1 benefit.

    It was not only my storm brand, but my flame dash setup as well. It doesn't matter which gem in the gem link I take out and put back in, but the +1 to gem does not get applied unless you resocket any of the gem in the gem links everytime you upload an instance.

    Strangely enough, this bug did NOT affect my 4-link orb of storms setup.
