Trial of Sekhema 4th floor boss.
I already got my 4th and decided to fight the ultimatum boss just for lols, similar issue with sustain. I just ran out of mana. I have the recharging flasks and mana on my gear, but the drain scale of skills at high level is absurd. So, I slapped him pretty good and then just ended up trying to kite around while he was at 5% and hope I could land a bell with my monk. One of his one-shots got through evade and insta killed me. I don't think they have scaled the sustain very well for attack skills with these mega HP bosses. Sanctum guy was same thing, got maybe a 3rd of his HP down and then ran out and ran in circles again waiting on recharge. I could go reroll an entire separate build just so I have the mana for bosses, but that seems really absurd.

I can't agree any more that the one shot mechanic on this boss is just plain b******t
If you don't understand the mechanic within 2s, even less if you don't have the +40% mov speed boon, you're dead... It's even more stupid when the game teach you to avoid anything popping out on the floor at all time Who the hell thought that would be fun ? especially with how long it takes to get there in the first place ? I'm tired of such stupid mechanics, it's like they want you to watch a guide before attempting anything but where's the fun in that ? Same for on death effect which should never have existed. It doesn't make the game more hard, it just takes the fun out of the game! |

Let me make it even worse than what you thought. I fought him last night and thought I got lucky by getting a merchant right before the fight and seeing the "you can not be damaged until completing the next room" boon. Of course I pounced on it after hearing other people got this boon and it made the fight a cake walk.
Guess what happened...yup, bingo - it no longer works. You will take damage, so just be aware when picking boons if you encounter this. |

" 100% why I quit. There is unfun, then there is Ascendancy Trials in poe2. Not even worth playing the game for. Terrible video game. |
|
" Quitting is not a word that's in my vocabulary. Adapt and overcome - that's how we roll in this house. GGG will fix it eventually. |

The hourglass one shot thing needs to be removed or adjusted. No hints on what to do, barely enough time given to even do the mechanic. Wasted all that time clearing 4 floors only to be one shot with full honor cause I didn't step on hourglasses fast enough.
Why is there even a one shot? You get one try, no time to learn, just sadistic devs laughing at people suffering at this point. The Rich Get Richer, the Po Stay Po.

" You assuming they are asleep and not lacking in ability. |

I simply decided not to do any 3rd or 4th ascendancy trials. Endgame is crap anyway and the points aren't that important even there, so why bother?

" I can fully agree with your write up. I'm a Monk (lvl 83) attribute stacker with freeze, I respected to be tanky with mid dps (125k dps Ice strike). The issue I ran into was trying to keep as much honor so when entering the 4th trial I just had nothing left whilst giving my best to avoid taking damage. Unfortunately, I've decided not to do the last ascendency and drop the game as the last nail in the coffin was running The Trail of "suck my ass" as it's known and coined in the community. I just wonder how the players are doing who have no currency to buy good gear are doing with "suck my ass"? |
