PoE 2 - I hate trial of the sekhemeas so much

"
the old lab is thematically unique and fleshed out like a core feature should be, while this new version feels like a league mechanic.



Old lab and this lab are two cheeks on the same ass.

Wait until you hit ultimatum. It's even worse.
For the first Ascendancy, i think you should be guaranteed a merchant before the boss fight. Afterward you done your first ascendancy it can go RNG.



I beat it first try on lvl 22 frost sorc, 100% sure i could try it on my warrior all day and i would never beat the boss.
Nope not a fan. Honor system is a fail. One out of Ten stars (one star just because its PoE).
I already like Sanctum, but they did such a better job with Trial of the Sekhemas. You're not forced to fight these annoying unique mobs just to push forward, the objectives are a lot more varied and fun, and Honor feels more forgiving than Resolve if you stack heavily into EHP.

I hope GGG takes what they've done with it and brings it back to PoE1.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish.

Agreed, the honor mechanic *needs* to change, I had so much fun so far, now I just rage because of this. Completely unnecessary tedium, way too much dependant on class / build.
Honour mecanic is good for me, but It need some adjustements
Like every 3 rooms you can gain some Honour or before bosses it regen all

the mecanic actually is : Take no damage or fail.
Maybe i'm a dumb but I didn't see the tutorial in game who explain that and it took me 2 try in trial to understand I loose while I have full HP cause honour bar in bottom reach 0

for me, It's the only things in gameplay mecanics who can me good tier with some adjustements but for now it's just mid tier

I plan to do a more detailed feedback post of my experience with the game so far, but I wanted to at least leave this one:

I hate trial of the sekhemas so much. I hated sanctum league and avoided the mechanic in future leagues. I'm trying to do this literal dogsh*t. The boss has mechanics that don't seem interested in killing you, but seem interested in chunking down your honor. I hate the honor system so much. My most used "skill" is dodge roll, yet the boss spawns volcanoes everywhere.

My build has a lot of life regen, which is worth about bugger all with the stupid honor system.

I want my demon form morph... so if I am bad at sanctum, I have to wait until act 3 for ascendancy?

I'm certain people will flame me for this post. But I am leaving the feedback nonetheless: I goddamn hate trial of the sekhemas! I hate sanctum league mechanics!


100% , its the only thing i actually detest with poe. Hard bosses i am 100% for, i have died so much in act 1 ive lost count. Eventually mastering the bosses is really satisfying. But the sanctum trials just kills all my joy of the game. It is the thing that made me take breaks, because it just spoiled my mood.
Lot to like in EA, but honor in the trials is is absolute garbage mechanic as it negates so many builds.

Please remove or balance to add dmg dear = + to honor points.

As a melee sitting at full hp and pots and dying as I took poison dmg from add packs or got clipped by a boss aoe, as his hitbox is janky for a monk, is infuriating.

Love the game so far, but honor is against what you are striving to make without major overhauls
