I have yet to complete a full sanctum...

Just to be clear Lyutsifer665.

1)Are we talking about the Battle Arena rooms where there is a skulll beam thingy that rotates and guards spawn sequently after you beat them.

OR

2)Trap exit room where there are square ground degen runes and rolling magma balls and you just need to find the exit door?


If it's the second and you get the magma ball room you can place totems in front of their spawn location to block them so you can safely move.

The battle arena is indeed a problem if you dont have much DPS so the guards & beam will eventually wither down you resolve.

You can, Johnny, but that isn't the point, the point is that this is the most lopsidedly designed league since the dawn of PoE, and it didn't have to be. They got all the backlash for nothing.

As with any new content in poe. You have HARD dps and hard survival check. Grind 20-50 divines pay up to get 10-20 mil dps like everyone else. Stupid as it sounds thats how game works. Grind, pay up and than play game. Trying to play game without first grinding 20-30 divines worth gear is sour taste for most ppl unless u play good skill.

i think my DPS is fine. with this build i killed:
uber elder/uber atziri/exarch/eater/sirus/cortex/trialmaster/delve bosses most invitations as magic

What do you mean most invitations as magic? You can't do the rare four ways?

Yeah but u need big dps for sanctum to 1 shot everything and avoid all mechanics. Thats only way to win sanctums. They even implemented no hit run challenge. Dots are not safe way to go coz dots tends to do slow dmg unless your dps is rly rly high. I am just speaking in general i dont see your specific case. Ubers require heal and survival and not that much dps. But it is strange that u killed ubers and not sanctum o.O Maybe you lose too much resolve on run to exit rooms. Dont waste time on those rooms just run to exit. There is plenty of shortcuts on floor4 where u just go across wall strait to exit. If you do all those guards as melee specially if they have action speed buff it gets cancerous even with big dps so just skip those rooms. Also avoid trap rooms whenever u can. Entombment is floor4 room that can basically drain your whole resolve(room with 3 waves of balls) but you can use totems to blow up ball in front of you. You just move in 1 lane pick whatever lane and place totem to blow up upcoming ball. Its not worth ruining around most ppl mess up. Hope this helps. edit: Searing Bond is good totem to block those balls.

Now we are talking. The rune trap rooms are the easiest ones by themself if we exclude any random guards that spawn in it. If possible just run to exit to avoid most dangers.

I think i can figure where the problem is. You evaded traps and then some guard or trash mob sneaked in or off screened and made you nervous so you lost more resolve than needed.

I suggest check if there are any guards,mobs nearby and clear them first, also there are ,as mentioned by nikola061, shortcuts in these rooms to make it easier.

Its either that or he got the trap speed affliction.

Otherwise those traps are really not that hard.
