Honor based ascendancy ruins the game for warrior

honor points make me so mad when playing as a warrior. i hope at some point the devs recognize those mechanics dont work for tanks. simply choosing a ranged character makes the trials 100x easier which prooves its not a compatible system for all the characters in the game. oh do i need to get better? sure lets completely change my play style that works extremely well for any other maps and boss - and lets re-arrange my skill tree and i can loose all my progress and disrupt the flow of the game for my measly ascendancy points!

they have got to do something about this

The SSF ladder on day 1 was pretty much all Smith of Kitava. The trial is fine.

Yea warrior has no problems in sekhemas

trial is garbage [Removed by Support]

I kind of get what you mean, they way i played I had no chance with the way my warrior was setup.

But we have options, and setup a strong molten through or whatever cross class ranged you want and use that when getting close costs you too much.

Also be more mindful when you can of which events you choose in the trial, as some are far more difficult if you are face tanking.

then you have relics to boost honor etc, so once you find some, more option and help there.

Other than that, I guess going for hard melee dps is ideal, as standing there hitting for too long will not work as it can in the normal game.

Crossbow is a pretty great option for ranged warriors. Can always change back after the trial to preferred playstyle and skills.

I wouldn't call the system ruined though. As there are options for warriors and the trials take a different tactic than normal fighting, which isn't a bad thing imo. We don't want it to be D4 pits or NMD how they are currently for leveling our power, i certainly do not want that.

I ran over 250+ runs last league on my warrior(no last flame qq), the only time I had an issue, was when I didn't know how to play the game, or didn't understand the mechanics behind it all.

A lot of ppl want to turn this into a matter of "skill issue" but the fundamental problem with sekhemas is that it kills build diversity

the first 4-5 i did on launch on warrior sucked. If you are playing slow attacking combo abilities just adjust what you do for sehkemas. Especially if you arent trading and have a crappy weapon.

Patience is key.

Of course compared to a lot of other classes its harder if you're impatient.

Yup. Honor is the worst mechanic ive ever seen in an ARPG.
