Who still can not "Ascend" and why?

People keep quoting me... I posted a retraction later. I did finish normal. It wasn't that bad. I got a headache and took a pill. I'm a bit woozy this morning (24 hours later), but able to walk about. I have been much worse.

I still doubt I'll see 6/6... but 4/6 seems reasonable at this time.

Killed off Argus in Cruel. But haven't completed Cruel yet. Will probably attempt to do the Cruel Labyrinth once I'm at Act 3-4 Merciless since my Laptop has the 4GB Ram issue so I need to blitz through the Labyrinth.

Still gotta kill Argus in Normal though...

I'll probably settle with 4/6 Ascendancy Points till I hit lvl 90 though.

Outside of the computer problems, needed configurations and all...

izaro's damage are too high, the strategies are difficult for most melee build, the boss itself is an hp sponge.

the labyrinth is not very difficult but the boss form 3 will kick the ass of most unoptimized characters, it's problematic for an area level 68. As i have said before, it should be an area 80 with a buffed boss, with end game content.

or a level 75 area with the actual izaro's life and damage but 75 monsters.

In it's actual state, the labyrinth is "challenging" and doable with 5L 3K hp and unfinished character until you reach the third form izaro. Then you get raped and rage quit, losing 1 hour of game time for nothing.

^ this statement is for merciless labyrinth.

It's worse for normal and cruel !

Another idea to fix it :

Allow players to use the ascendancy's shrine BEFORE the izaro's fight, so they can skip the enchants, the chest and the third form izaro! Now everybody is happy :

we can ascend without this insane difficulty spike, after the completion of the labyrinth so we get the reward we want for the time spend. And we can fight izaro after if we desire, to get the enchants and the loot of the chest.

and for the devs it's easy to do, they move the shrine at the first room instead.

Update to my first post in this thread: I made another new character, for the new legue. Not closer to ascending, but THE CLAW is awfully fun to play.

This I am ok with. Putting it as a level 75 area makes people realize that it IS intended to be that difficult.

because i'm playing a squishy build in HC, so I need to be like 20+ levels overleveled to even think about it

tis a little overtuned especially the last boss fight
i died while izi was at 5% hp


should have linked that culling strike gem i just had to put it in my stash

Merciless Phase 3 is tricky to say the least.

Bad luck for me in perandus league though I have ascended a few times in standard. First I couldn't roll staunching flasks in new league, then after I finally did, I tried again and died due to desync. I will try again. 3rd time is the charm!
