I love Trial of the Sekhemas

Trying to do my 3rd ascendency with my stormweaver and am struggling. its too absurdly hard. Made right to the end and died. Other two times died about halfway through and now I dont have coins. This is too much.

weirdo lol

It's too god damned long. It just gets monotonous. And having to deal with Honour is fucking annoying. It's not just that its challenging, its irritating and having to avoid damage all the time just feels like shit. 3 of the bosses are piss easy and the last one just freezes you and one shots you and wastes your time. Devs even said it was stupid but didn't fix it

Mate, tell the truth, who put you to start this thread, are you ok, are you kidnapped and forced to make this thread? You quit your job or something, are you a full time poe2 streamer, what's your story? =))

you can check my profile if you like

big fan of ruthless, loved sanctum (see here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3341040), love sekhema

this league ive done more 4 floor sekhema trials than maps :)

having to compete with people this deranged is a big part of why i quit during 0.2

In isolation, I enjoy the combat in both Trials, especially the timed survivals in Sekhemas. The room-by-room style of encounters is a good fit for PoE 2. Even Honor, I think, adds an interesting dimension to gameplay.

So why do I dread doing them?

I think it's a combination of the feel-bad inverted roguelite mechanics and the feeling of Trials being a mandatory chore. If they were simply dungeons you run when you want a particular unique that drops in them, or some other reward not as mandatory as skill points, they'd be more enjoyable.

This turns sekhema from a free fun piece of content to an automatic speed blasting piece of content.

It's only available in Standard now iirc. They removed the affix or limited it to just 1 additional option.
