Remove the Water Mechanic from Path of Exile 2 Trials

Dear Developers,

The water mechanic in the trials is outright frustrating and unnecessary. It doesn’t add any enjoyment to the experience—if anything, it makes me want to quit the trial entirely.

The constant worry about losing water because of a hit, whether it’s a little or all of it, is just *not fun*. It feels like I’m being punished for even trying to engage with the content. Having to restart everything after a mistake only adds to the annoyance.

This mechanic doesn’t make the game harder in an enjoyable way; it just turns the trial into a chore. I want to focus on the challenge of the fights, not babysitting some arbitrary water counter.

Please remove this mechanic entirely. It drags down what could be an otherwise great experience.

Sincerely,
An Annoyed Player

My dude, the name of the mechanic is honor. The Sacred Water is a currency you use to buy rewards at the end (and probably from the merchant node that can spawn on your route sometimes but I haven't reached one yet).

You don't HAVE to do Trial of the Sekhemas. You can get all four Ascendency levels in the Trial of Chaos instead. When the third Trial type comes out you will also be able to use that one.
