Trials suck ass

OK GGG it's been long enough with forcing your playerbase to play components they skipped in your first game. No one truly enjoys the trials. It's garbage locking necessary skill points behind such horrible luck based mechanics. Removing skill from the equation completely destroys all basis of learning the game and forming a decent build. I can't describe the absolute anger over wasting the only 2 hours I have to play to a mechanic that requires the player to have nothing but good luck to progress and gain the reward. Or I have to grind for weeks to be able to afford to pay someone to carry me through it? I disliked these mechanics in poe1 and I avoided them. Now I have to play them or never get past a certain point? I want to ask for all my money back at this point and you can have back your games and all the stash tabs I bought. I'm literally on my last nerve with this aspect of the game. Please fix this or give us something else to run. (P.s. its salt on the wound having to close the entire game, hard reset, whenever the trial is failed)

About the same situation here! The game interest falling pretty fast as well when unable to progress
Disgusting content i totally agree nothing be more boring
PoE2 is my first game I play on console, couch-op with my buddy.
I feel like the game itself is harder by magnitudes just because you cannot always aim with the controller.

I suck a lot to dodge the traps and it's terrible. I can kill all the monsters with ease, because I'm over level. But oh my god the traps are eating my honour.

I will try ball lightning + lightning warp just to dodge the traps. Because I'm at lost and this is terrible.

We play SSF, so paying a carry isn't an option.

I can run easy for 12-15 minutes, the problem is your build.

Stack +Move Speed from Passive Tree & Sekhema Relics , it makes Traps a non-issue and anyway you do need a lot of +Move Speed to not instadie from the last Boss .

So you admit only certain builds can possibly run it that fast? I have no issue running trials of Chaos in a reasonable time frame but Sekhemas objectively takes longer. Too much time investment.
Skill issue, trials are literally made trivial with the correct setup and I'm not talking about your build. You want hand me outs for progression, try another game or learn why you're not doing as well as others at this point.

Nope , any Endgame builds used to farm T15+ can farm Sekhema that fast . Sekhema got no difficulty once you got a balanced build and spent a little time balancing the Sekhema relics .

Yep , 75% honour res then +honour / +def / +speed will take smoothly any endgame build at the end .
