ascendancy is plain stupid

this is the most frustrating thing i have ever encountered in any game...
i build my character for defense, block retaliation. i'm full hp but because i got hit by unblockable dmg earlier i lose the trial...
this NEEDS to change or this is going to be a dealbreaker for so many people...

Yeah, I agree. I really enjoy the rest of the game but that trial is dooooogs breath.

Trying to complete this shit as a melee character is ridiculous. I get to the boss with full honor but his stupid aoe abilities just mean you take damage everytime you step towards him. Is this the way it was in po1? Because this sounds insane.

my experience as a melee character doing the suckame's trial.

fail few times due to learning the various room mechanics.

press on and learn boss mechanic. died but restarted few times.

learned how to fight against the boss.

felt confident.

took my time hacking his life down. i could read his attacks etc. so much pride.

then i realized to my horror. the LONGER the battle, THE MORE FISSURE SPEWING SHIT APPEARED.

ah fuck fuck fuck fuck.

then i realized that some of my most damaging melee payoff/damaging skills have a long as windup (around 1-2 seconds). wtf. if i dont use it i dont do enough dps. if i DO use it, i lose honour. fuck fuck fuck.

lose to the boss a few times more before ragequitting, went away and overlevelled a huge bunch, then got my revenge.

i do not look forward to doing the rest of my ascendencies
