"Skill Issue" Playing Flicker Strike vs Uber Sirus

I wish I wasn't such a trash player! Gosh darnit to HECK. I'm so freakin' bad!

I mean, why did I dare choose a skill like Flicker Strike and then think to myself I could challenge Uber Sirus?

He delighted in spawning an undodgeable chaos vortex right on top of me every time I stayed on him for more than 1 second. 78% chaos res, 89 ele res, shock immunity, 50% spell suppress, 46% spell block, 3 endurance charges.

It doesn't matter. That spell shreds my HP in less than 1 second, not even exaggerating.

Anyway! GOOD 1, GGG.

It's not even Flicker's fault. I can't fathom another strike melee skill working in this fight. Oh tell, PoE little gods on the forum, what strike skill do you recommend in this fight?

Very good question. Why would you take a skill that removes character control to a fight that requires precise movement and character control? I could make a guess but...

Any skill that allows you to properly controll your character really. Some strike range and additional strikes also help. Alternatively, scale flicker high enough to just burst him down quickly. 100+ mio dps should be sufficient

Btw, since you've been listing a bunch of utterly irrelevant defenses, those storms do a mix of phys and chaos damage, and they are dots. Block, suppress, ele res and shock immunity do absolutely nothing against them.

How dare you having fun with a sub-optimal skill /s
When playing flicker you would want to swap to a backup skill like multi-strike for boss fights where you can't avoid ground effects.
