Trial of the Sekhemas Needs Work

Trial of the Sekhemas in its current form is practically unplayable when wanting to duo with a friend. Losing honor because another player that you're playing with takes damage, and getting punished for your party's mistakes is absolute garbage! I'm playing Merc and my friend is playing Sorc, and if he takes damage, HE'S fine, cuz he'll lose 500 or so honor out of his pool of 10k+ But then I lose 1/3 of my honor. Going from full to zero in what feels like a second because the sorc took some damage that's completely meaningless to her is horseshit. I want to be able to play this game with my friend, but it's infuriating when I physically can't complete a trial with him in my party because of that.

The amount of honor you have is based of the amount of defenses you have (armor, evasion, ES). If it didn't hurt your friend much, it seems like you just don't have defenses. Try upgrading your gear and see if you can sustain better.
