Trials are the worst experience I've ever had in PoE

I'm a non-lab enjoyer and I despised it with all my strength because it just felt like you had to cheese it(at proper level not high gear) with life gems, triple life flasks, gazillion chaos res or... just pay for a boost.

But man, this trials of PoE2 take the trophy. I didn't think it was possible to conceive something more frustating than lab but here it is. 3 floors of Sanctum?? Where you "die" if your honor reaches zero, why??? Makes no sense..10 trials of Ultimatum? I love the trial master quotes but I simply can't stand Ultimatum, its full of garbage mods that just multiply on top of each other creating artificial difficulty.

You know what happens with this feature? People just overgear it and stall their ascendancy points until they are 10-15-20 levels above the content, this can't be GGG vision.

This isn't a trial for ascendancy, it's a trial to limit test players patience. It's not fun at ALL.

this is what i did with lab but i find trials fun so i have been doing them at the appropriate level, idk if they are better or worse than lab but having the choice is at least nice. hopefully you will like the third one better when it comes out

I dont mind the trials, but this honour thing is BS. Or at least overtuned. I wouldnt even mind it if the bossfight would be excluded.

I can handle the boss, just no without taking any damage and so I keep failing. I will most likely do it again in like 10 levels, but that makes it feel quite bad.

On lower levels, the relation between honour and dmg you might get is bad. I didnt have any issues on higher levels.
