Getting tree Sekhema trials done in succession for my third set of ascendancy nodes is almost impossible as melee. I get hit by one big hit and I lose like 400 honour. It's ridiculously overtuned. The Trial of Chaos isn't much better because some of the modifiers you have to pick are just so extremely oppressive that they have a solid chance of bricking your attempt.

Absolutely horribly balanced and because of that it feels like massive step back from PoE1 Lab.

they NEED to change this new trials of ascendancy or else they will lose a lot of players....I feel like most players were already avoiding these 2 leagues mechanics because they were broken and not even fun ... IMO remove that don't even try to make it better remove that plz... its straight bad decision they took there

Increase difficulty in POE 2, copy past the mechanic that require dedicated character as the new ascendency trial :)

Yeah seems totally logic !

I thought it couldn't be possible to do worse than the Labyrinth that I hate, but replacing it with 2 of the worst mechanics of the game made it possible. Congratulations.

They finally "fixed" melee this time, by basically removing it from the game.

As well as the summoner)

Minions are so strong later on that I'd be suprised if we don't see skeletal arsonists get nerfed into the ground soon. They just suck with out gear early on. They need gem levels from gear, once you have that you achieve easy mode as long as you can keep yourself alive.

Agreed. Locking core character attributes behind garbage league mechanics that they player has literally no ability to plan around (yay random forced choices) is such a stupid design. It'd be one thing if you're in/out in 2-3 minutes, but that's not been my experience at all and quite frankly knowing I'm going to fail because I got locked behind some BS combination of debuffs that I have no way to play for or avoid just kills any desire to progress a character.

I suspect for a large pool of players right now, they'll just have to accept that they'll never get points 5-8, and that's just really sad to think about...

bring back izaro. this new system is awful

Makes me dislike poe2. I never do trial master or sanctum in poe. Now it's mandatory and even harder. RIP poe2 for me. Sucks man. Really wanted to like this new game. It's just a worse version of the same game.

Oh many this is truly hilarious and a spectacle.
