Trial of the Sekhemas Needs major reworking

I'm enjoying most aspects about POE2 some quality of life things w/e I know things will change, but Trial of Sekhemas locking ascendancy is by far the worst decision and most aggravating thing playing a tanky warrior character.

Don't get me wrong if they wanted this as it's own stand alone thing, fine, but being forced to do this to progress your character in such an influential way I think was a terrible decision. Every other part of the game I feel like a wall, because I've invested time into wanting to tank, but having this kinda trial literally punishes me for playing the character I've put so much time into and it frustrates me to no end.

Whats the point of building a tanky character and soaking hits, if this trials entire goal is "don't get hit" it contradicts many character builds and is completely unfair because of it. Either 1 they need to swell honor to way higher levels, or 2 make methods of damage reduction and melee characters be more impactful by taking less honor dmg in melee range, or whatever it could be.

I hate being gate kept by a mechanic that's not hard, it's just pit against a specific kind of play style which i feel goes against the core aspect of this game, playing how you want to play. I shouldn't be punished for that with this trash mechanic.

stack honor resist relics, tank hits

Those are all the relics I'm using, but getting hit once still drops my honor by like 500-600 which is absurd.

Please, I cannot get past the 3rd ascendancy. This honor system is absolutely broken. I swear my minions got honor reduced when hit by those fire cannons i would lose all honor when running through them a not hitting them myself.... your flamethrower bull crap is literally impossible to win...

Here's a question... why not make all 3 levels a walk in the park and the last points the hardest... I can't get past the third trail, which is literally impossible and takes hours, and you get cucked because of the way the honor system works. is broken. I had so many resist and boost honor relics.

People will just stop playing if you can't progress.... at least don't take away our token and give us maybe 4 tries before we run out...

Good game, btw just needs huge QOL

i still cant get my third ascendancy points...this system is garbage. bring back izaro

all i want to know is who's genius idea was it to lock ascendancies behind these god awful mechanics? did anybody ever ask for this?

this makes me a sad panda.

Who thought that this was a good idea? I hate doing this

This is not fun in its current state.

To update this: i have 65% honor loss resist, level 72 monk, good build, around 4k honor. I've gotten to the twin terracotta bosses three or four times. I think I got close to killing them once before honor ran out. And there's another floor after them? Seriously not fun.
