Remove the honor system. It’s not wanted or a needed mechanic, it’s just bad design.

absolutely this, if the honar crap wasnt there i wouldnt mind and it WOULD fit in with the rest of the game, however.. we like - fighting bosses left and right, multiple attempts and the one thing that can define a build is built around honor, where else in the game does this happen... its not needed its not fun and it goes against many characters playstyles, i mean why have an active armor if it doesnt matter when u get hit in the build defining aspect of the game.


this is a poor thought through and lazy idea. its literally a copy and pasta from poe1 with the downside of it being build defining.

Use the bad league mechanic to be something people must pass to get stronger, well play GGG

Why the fissure it spawn linger like eternity? The last leg is like complete mass of random dmg here and there which defeat the propose of honor system.

I pass it because I'm doing range and play supersafe, I can feel the pain of melee player who choose this trial.

Man, PoE2 reduce playstyle creativity to zero.

I just want to say that I always hated Sanctum in PoE1 and avoided it like the plague. As I did with Ultimatum. Now I have no choice but to ram my head against the wall until I somehow eventually succeed or just never get the ascendency power spike. I absolutely loathe it and after failing the trial several times in a row, and not even close, I am inclined to drop PoE2 entirely until they change it.

The main thing about Sanctum I despise is the honor mechanic. I like characters who can take a hit or regenerate. It is what I enjoy most when building characters. Honor just tells me "No, you don't get to do the thing you enjoy". Why would I want to play a game that actively prevents me from having fun while playing it?

The honor system needs to be removed or the Honor pool needs to be increased substantially.

I am trying to build a thorn/retaliation, mace/shield build. It is actually IMPOSSIBLE for me to do with the Honor pool so low. Granted, I suck at building characters and my damage output is most likely dog-water, but I just don't see how a tank can make it though this...

Furthermore, why have this kind of mechanic blocking such an important part of progression in PoEII? I found the trials at ~Level 22ish. Even if I put passive points into damage (as well as tank stuff like thorns and such, since I'm trying to build a heavy tank char.), is that even enough to make it through the trial? Do I have to build full DPS and play "the floor is lava" game (no pun intended) in order to "ascend"? :(

**** EVEN WITH RESONATING SHIELD (an ability that blocks all blockable attacks, regardless of the direction you are facing) YOU STILL LOSE HONOR WHEN HIT....like what?!****

If my words mean anything...as a new player to the entire genre (and finding LOADS of enjoyment in this particular one) please....PLEASE either increase the Honor pool (for all or least sword and board characters XD) or remove it all together.

Ok. I'm don't ranting. I do feel better thank you. Until something changes, I'll most likely just go farm out some levels/gear and continue complaining about it to my friends in Discord.
