I'm confused. Thanks for looking for those who have time and did look! :)

Does this mod work on our build? I think Ice nova and spells are considered hits.

Also the new jewel Thread of Hope with large radius gives us access to the Heart of Ice node. Is useful until we can get the anoint or opens up other anoint options.

Awakened added cold is dps gain over hypothermia - I will be running it like this when I level it to 5/20. Cold pen is just 2ex replacement for controlled destruction you have to level first and according to PoB no dps gain.

Just killed Sirus with 2 deaths. The build really has very little to do with the fight, no major modifications are necessary. My suggestions: (1) use Ryslatha pantheon, (2) have a Corrupted Blood jewel, (3) make sure anti-freeze is on your mana flask so you'll always have it up in emergencies.

The main difficulty is just that the fight is very unintuitive and you need to watch a strategy video or three to understand what is going on. Plus there's the stairs blocking maze bug. I was able to survive failing the maze on Awakening Level 4 but probably wouldn't on 8.

If you ditch Skyforth for the Tailwind boots, how do you deal with stuns?

Brine King pantheon would be the main defense. It's not perfect but it should be sufficient. You can also consider the boot enchant (80% avoid stun if killed recently) or veiled flask suffix craft (50% avoid stun).

Edit: For Sirus, one thing to consider is adding a non-CWDT Steelskin. It's possible this could allow you to always tank the maze. I'm not sure how much damage it will do at Awakening 8.

Pretty sure his damage isn't affected by the awakening but only life (3% more per awakening level). I didn't notice a difference in damage between lvl 1 / 4 / 8. Also you could get more life flasks and use the minor pantheon giving 3 charges every 3 seconds, it helps a lot in the fight. Major pantheon Arakaali is also azaming to take advantage of the degen grounds. Decoy totem will also taunt most his beams. Also there's a way to setup him to always guarantee you don't fight him in stairs.

This video teach you lots of stuff about the fight, and using the same strategy at 2:06, 4:10 and finally at 6:18 you can always guarantee the fight to happen in the middle of the arena. Basically, you don't move the storms but you lure a bit Sirus then go under him and he'll push away the storms automatically.

Everything except Sirus fight is fine but i failed to kill him 2 times now. Any suggestion for the fight would be awesome.

Hi there, thanks for the great guide. I have a question about end game helmet.
How to craft option "Nearby enemies have -% cold resistance" on an enchanted helmet? Sorry, I'm new to PoE :P
