Temple of Chaos is overtuned

Died on third phase on level 42 because a ground effect that blocked my one and only path instakilled me. Not that it mattered, the loot that I would have gotten up to that point was completely useless for my build.

Is there anything in that temple besides loot/XP that I would need to progress my character? Otherwise that one is just a skip for me.

The temple in Path of Exile 2 is an incredibly frustrating gameplay experience. The difficulty feels extremely unbalanced, with overwhelming debuffs and enemies that seem to one-shot the player consistently. As a monk character, I've managed to complete other content without issues, but this temple trial feels completely unfair and poorly designed.
I'm wondering about the requirements for this content - are players forced to complete this trial to unlock additional Ascendancy points? I thought players could choose which trials to attempt.
While I appreciate challenging game content, this particular trial crosses the line from difficulty to being unnecessarily punishing. The mechanics feel more like an exercise in masochism than a balanced gameplay challenge.

The curses are far too strong when you're leveling; I got hit ONCE by the boss with the bleed+poison one and died faster than my 1k in 4 seconds flask could heal. There are not nearly enough that are "safe" or at least less harsh for you to pick depending on your build. The fact that some rooms require slow animations to do a thing that can result in you taking damage from mobs or from curse effects is remarkably stupid and feels like a huge oversight. Dial back the intensity of the curses by around 50% depending on the curse and we're on to something.

Seriously, all the content that becomes a wall it feels like they are balancing mob damage and intensity around PoE1 drop rates where you've capped at least one resist by act 4 and the others are maybe at worst 45% and you're already rocking like 5k ehp yet here we are in a loot desert where I'm spending my paltry few regals and exalts on useless mods while first clearing a boss will net me two blues. If at least the currency was more reliably dropped, we'd be getting somewhere.

This is the point ive stopped playing i`m waiting for a patch im sure they will fine tune it a bit cause it just feels brokenly unfair at this point I tryed for a day grinded up to level 45 and still not even close and its level 38 content.

Stopping now before I end up hating the game.

The only issue of ToC is that some curses are just "noob bait", and will get you killed quickly with pretty much any build.

Otherwise you just need some planning and a bit of luck (even with 3 choices, sometimes RNG will just hate you, although it's not a frequent occasion that all 3 picks are unavoidably lethal).

I agree with the original post in everything and

I enjoyed playing with curses to increase the challenge, but some of them are clearly worse than others, so they need to be better balanced.
Also, even though with training I am now able to reach the boss in the fourth room, they were simply impossible to defeat, since much of the damage was unpreventable and I tend to run out of potion charges before they were even close to half health.

I say this having had no problems with any other boss this far. Otherwise game difficulty seems fine.

undertuned. It's afk content :/

Pay for a carry and move along. Knowing what mods are problems helps. Also your level isnt a complete representation of the situation. If you're gear/build are bad then you can be whatever level and it wont really make much of a difference.

Nice troll buddy. Good for you if you no lifed your way out of needing to do anythign in this game. Afk content is axactly the problem, you either die or you can do it afk because the game design is pooop.

Reality: It is not a viable alternative to sanctum, tone it down already!

And most people understandbly so, would deinstall before they pay someone to actually play the game for them aka carry...


Only few arpgs clowns pay carries.

deinstall? lol

Just pay for a carry champ, youll feel better i promise.
