2nd trial's boss is so bad

I first tried the trial right when I unlocked it. The trial itself is fine, on my first try i reached the boss without much problem. Then the bird boss suddenly bombed me when he had 1/3 hp. So unfun to get insta killed...

I tried again on level 46. My next ~3 attempts were identical. The trial itself is easy. But the boss summons a tornado that insta kills me faster than I can move out of the way even if I react instantly.

It's not a skill issue, I killed most of the bosses on 1st try, and I did them blind.

This shit is just plain fuckin stupid, and totally unfun.

I'm playing melee warrior. And btw, thanks for the movement speed penalty. I'm already penalised by having to get up close to the enemy, wtf???

Also, some penalties during the trial, completely break slower builds. Like the tether hearts. If I get caught up while doin sth like sunder, I'm just unlucky. If caught during a boss fight, I just die without being able to react in any way. Same with the stup insta killin tornado.

Also: there is a bug, when you leap slam off the elevator (or the high platform), the monsters start attacking you but they're invulnerable and their health bars don't even show up, they're untargetable.

The bird is awful, very over-tuned. His wind gust is hard to see where it's going to hit and it one shots. You can't select any on ground effect the whole trial or in his arena it be un-dodgeable.

the games fun til you try to play the ascension part, you know the part that makes your hero more interesting, more fun, and a lot better

Just wait for the 4th one. 40 horus in it and can't beat it. Done with this game. PoE1 is SO MUCH better. Forcing these ascendancy trials is actually a game ruiner for me.

thats crazy the first 3 acts were such a grind i cant barely repeat them on cruel its just so time consuming

2/3 of them is WAY WAY overtuned. If you get the Dragon, it's doable. So just rerun it over and over until you get the dragon.

From what I can tell they did a good job helping people with the Sekhemas nerf.

But chaos I think I can get on board by saying its just overbearing ... and unrewarding as well.

You get a bunch of useless corrupted shit at the end, and then to top it off, you cant really AVOID any bad mods like you can in Sekhemas.

The punishments in them seem.... a bit too high maybe? As well as some mechanically being unfair for the bird boss in particular. Like good luck with petrification statues, and rotating blood beam. You wont beable to go to the borders (petrified) and you constantly have to dodge roll the beam AND BIRD.

But then you can get terribad other mods that destroy all of your resist.... or the phys circle that is ... extremely large for some reason. Im thinking the phys exploding circle has to be a bug, it takes up the entire screen


Hope chaos can be tuned down a bit for folks. And maybe ditch the whole stupid corruption loot idea...

I thought tier two physical damage circle would be fine for my melee monk. Then I got birdnado and it dropped the circle, not doughnut, that covered the entire arena. XD

I feel like there needs to perhaps be more variation in the challenges than the four currently. Birdnado needs the nado nerfed or fixed (it does such outlandish damage I'm certain it's a bug). And the options should be expanded to fill out the choices with more variety than some can handle and some tuned down. High lightning resist makes the storm caller runes or lightning turrets free for example, but there's no cold options.

So I finally got the 3 bosses down in trials, and can confirm the 2nd boss is 100x worse than the 3rd. Way too many aoe type moves for melee.
