"honour"

I do not understand this honour mechanic. you get hit and you lose? some builds are made for getting hit? why have this?

I will say this as politely as I can, but whoever came up with this concept for this trial was probably huffing roa farts or something.

There's a way to make something difficult and rewarding, and then there's a way to needlessly make something frustrating. it's a very slight adjustment.

Just remove the honour mechanic. the trial can be made more difficult in other ways. the rule has always been: just don't die.

person above me is without honour and should find themselves in the vaalish trial that they may be better suited for, which can also grant all 8 ascendancy points

honour is accepting that if you take damage equal to your health, you should be dead. And that potions, regeneration and every other source of healing are necessary, but without honour

keep your hands away from that estus flask while engaged in honourable battle

Do the rules of mitigation not apply here? Genuine question. Poe 1 had some sort of tech where mitigation applied to 'honour' lost had a reduction based on these.

Also has to be said that it seems melee (warrior at least) characters are given 700+ honour, and whilst I can't speak for others, when I did it with the ranger and merc, they both only had 500+ honour. Maybe that's how they did it now? I'm probably wrong on this.

That being said, the first trial does seem fair. I made a post about it being really annoyed, I doubt my input changed anything, but I've not struggled on them since retrying. Might just be I got better at it?

Or are we talking endgame trials here?

Your base honour is the total of your life and energy shield
