Sirius killed at Awakening lvl 8 (lvl 96). Gear, tree, and mechanics as followed by the guide with slight changes to the main 6 link to maximize single target (Swapping phantasm and pierce out for deathmark, vile toxins. Changed Hatred to Haste to help me dodge better). Only my second try at Sirius, first was in my 80's on a 5 link and after that had services done until I hit "final" level at 96. Feels great.

I used two instant flasks (bleed/freeze) and a traditional flask (catalyzed), a speed quicksilver, and a basalt flask of bleed. Normally I'm mapping with the instants and a stibnite of warding. Honestly the Basalt probably won't save you from third meteor ring but YMMV.

I get one shot if I don't leave all three meteor rings. I can get one shot by the red dot delayed meteors if I get hit by 3 or more at once. Didn't get hit by the windup 5 ailment beam but it would probably one shot.

I used the bottom left cart to deal with storms, and whenever I died I used the upper route from the entrance to safely get back to the fight. I died three times walking BACK INTO THE THIRD RING because I was panicked. I died once to getting quad beamed, mini meteor, and single beamed at nearly the same time.

I think it's absolutely possible to do this deathless (>75% time) consistently at awakening 8 with practice and skill.

Jewels
You should get a single jewel with % reduced cost as it reduces cyclone cost from 4 to 3 which REALLY helps with no regen maps. I have elreon craft so my cyclone costs 1 so I can do all map mods with no gear changes (swap haste for Hatred in ele reflect, give up on holy relics for phys reflect).

Tree

Fully upgraded Arakaali/Gruthkul
