Who still can not "Ascend" and why?

I'm 3 for 3 with the client crashing while trying to attempt the merciless lab. If tomorrow's patch (or new layout) doesn't fix this problem I might just quit for a bit, it sucks being locked out of your capstone ability because of technical problems.

I simply have too many threads to write on how much I hate the Labyrinth, how much it needs to be nerfed and how all the rewards need to be moved to an area of content I have already beaten and can death rush.

Please nerf the Labyrinth so I clear up my schedule and find time to play it.

I have a max block (and that Gladiator node for 100% of block goes to spells too is godly) build that is life/armor and I have almost no issue with the Lab at all. I can even face tank Izaro.

BUT, all ES-based/chaos inoculation builds are screwed. My CI friend has quit after 20+ deaths and says he won't come back until they fix the Lab. It does seem like this content is unplayable for certain builds.

Why people say:

"

Make game easier!

instead of:

"

How I can make my build better?

I miss those days. Or

What am I doing wrong? How should I do this?

I can ascend but i refuse too. Gating a core aspect of the game behind anything (in this case a tomb rider look alike/clone) is straight up silly.

I agree. I don't think we should even have to load the game to progress. My ideal is to just never play again and get a bunch lvl100 characters with OP gear.

No but srsly wtf is wrong with you people?

What problems is he running into? I'm curious if I was too overleveled to notice problems. I have a dual wield semi-glass cannon, 3.5k ES, 2.3k life, somewhat low evasion and block chance before flasks.

The main thing that helped me with the laby was just having really high life regen and the right potions

combine that with high move speed and and movement skills and it really wasent all that bad

He's level 94 and has a build which is amazing anywhere else in the game, but if he gets caught/stuck one one or two traps (in Normal??!!) and he still dies almost instantly. Remember a lot of ES builds don't have much armor and are the traps seems to hurt non-armored people worse.

Can't ascend yet because real-life work grind >.<

Soon i hope (or die trying..)
Hope my PC can handle it...
