Trial of Sehkemas and Honor System

The honor system is totally stupid how you suppose to complete this challenge with character build to take hits from enemies instead of jumping and dancing around? Why are you putting then talents in talent tree after wasting and picking them you are not able to progress with your character Ascendancy?

There are some relics that provide a lot of honor resistance, and other useful stats.

I recommend getting 2 or 3 of these: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/eVeqXeYFL

Imagine making a shield focused character with thorns build. LOLOLOLOL That would SUCK!!! Oh wait... I did that and got absolutely trashed. >.> Well F me.

Honor resistance has cap, so you can not get immunity to honor damage.
So OP with his thorns build is left with absolutely no way to finish it without going to play different character.

How about we adapt our builds to the existing content, and not the other way around?

OP can move some passives/equipment/gems, get some damage (or hire a carry, whatever), get the ascendancy points, then the Honour system is no longer relevant for that character.

Reading posts like this as a developer of the game would be so frustrating and demotivating. "Low IQ design".. Sigh.

It kinda is though. It's a garbage mechanic and a lazy way to implement ascendancy.

I think it's more than a little ridiculous to suggest that someone should have to be punished for not just their build, but their entire playstyle, in content that is mandatory to progress. Why should OP be forced to upend his entire playstyle or pay for a carry? I don't have to do that as a ranger. Why is it only melee focused players who are expected to drastically disfigure the build they worked hard to create?

The honour system was clearly designed with only certain playstyles in mind, which would be fine for optional content, but making it a central pillar to character progression is an embarrassing blunder that echoes far beyond shortsightedness.

Honor is not even an issue once you get used and spec proper build.


While most people did not even get there but the Trial of time boss phase where you have to collect randomly spawned items on the map within limited time or you instant die.

Problem is you get slowed massively, and if you get screwed by rng its impossible to do even with double teleport and 35% boots.

Only way to mitigate it is getting the 40% speed boon but its also rng as i only saw it once in 3 trys.

For now I will give up on this as i can get to boss just fine but cant get trough this phase as i dont have enough time to collect it all and dont feel like it have anything to do with skill but getting lucky where the items will spawn.....

I failed the third Ascension Trial for the third time. Everytime due to a trap. Why are there posion traps in Chalice Trials anyway? If I want Traps I choose Gauntlet. It's so annoying.
