Poe 2 ascendency

how can i get 3rd ascendency without playing the worst mechanic of poe 1 ?
even overlevel (lvl 73) i can't do sanctum 75% honour resistance...
trial of chaos is to high level, and sanctum is the worst mech i hate honour system, i'm stuck because i need 3rd ascendency for my build.
do i really need to pay someone to carry me in poe 2 for something free in poe 1 ?
it's probably a skill issue but i feel poe 1 i can play fun builds poe 2 is play meta or play poe 1...
