Trial of sekhema is really bad
" Yup this exactly. On the 3rd floor I went into boss room with 3k honor and it was gone in 2 hits that didn't do much hp damage. All my relics have some form of honor resistance on them. Last edited by stalkingjackal#2441 on Dec 14, 2024, 5:42:07 PM

Does anyone know what you are actually supposed to do when the fllor 3 boss does it's thingy? Those three platforms are traps right? Or are you supposed to stand on them while the thing is jumping around from the earth?

Points 5 and 6 on your ascendacy tree are something normally done before you start maps. Just try taking a pre-maps character into a 3-floor trial (if you even drop one, I didn't get my first until I was in t4s) and see how well that goes. Either reduce it to 2 for that or rebalance the mode to not be as stupid as it is, especially given how hard the difficulty ramps in that 3rd floor. I took a character easily clearing maps into 3rd floor blind and lost handily to such unfun mechanics its mindboggling. I bled 6000 honor in about 5 rooms and "died" to a random poison cloud that was ticking me (chaos res capped) so I didn't even notice it until it chunked off the last 1k honor I had. All my desire to play the game today just evaporated in that moment.
Stuff like the 90% less light radius or 110 phys damage taken per room being considered a "minor" affliction and 30 honor regen per room being a major buff is just a hint of how BS this thing is balanced, as well. It's just unfun. I can't take any random "minor" affliction option without risking bricking my run. The mob types in there are equally stupid, all various forms of ambush, ranged spam, or other nonsense. |

I like Sanctum in POE1 as a pure endgame mechanic with specific builds for it....but forcing every build into this system is just bs.
Especially for ur 3rd ascendancy it feels like impossible if you are just an averge player even with 10 levels above it. |

I lost my mind today when, on the second level of the trial, I fought with two terracotta knights. I fought bravely, I was low honor, and they both had maybe 5% HP. I killed one and heaved a sigh of relief because the second one was already at 2-3 hits. But I was wrong when the other one regenerated all its HP. That was when I hit Alt+F4.

Trial is way too unforgiving in Floor 3! I lose almost all my honor to a single trap and lost 50% of my honor per hit on the 3rd boss.
I am Level 78 and i cant complete level 68 trial!!! Tier 7 Waystone are no problem so far for me... I cant get me 5 & 6 ascendency points because of this - Please do something about this! |

Did a level 62 trial as a level 71 Infernalist. Took 2nd boss down, had aout 1.5k honor... lost in a Chalice room almost instantly after taking no more than 3 hits.
I love the game otherwise, but I'm going to mentally block that there are 4 more Ascension points until this gets retooled. I even like the rogue-like nature of it, I like thinking about rooms and resources, but the honor system just makes me feel like I wasted my time. Please, I know this is going to get lost to the void, but devs please do another pass on how to gain Ascension points. Hell, make a 3rd path another point every 10 levels starting from 60 or 70... I'd rather grind than bash my head against the wall. |

Please give up on trying to push this mode for ascendency points and go with something else. I get that there's things you can do to make it more doable but
please let's not mix up something being doable with something actually being fun. |

Balbala fight is great. I will not go any farther in the ascendency. This honor mechanic is terrible. I will not return to ascendency with this honor system.

+1, delete sanctum, or at least delete the honor system
