Ascendancy trials need rethinking

Sanctum as mandatory ascendancy trial is mega bad decision period. This is a ranged league from poe1. Dont make it mandatory for every class. Melees have to make usualy more than 1 run to succeed where as a ranged character does it easily without losing even 1 honor. Melees cannot do sanctum thats it. Every normal mob or a rare with some stupid aoe mod eats ur honor. The mechanic for ascendancy SHOULD NOT BE SANCTUM!!! Please either chose another poe1 league (that works for better for all builds) or just do lab. I am sick of Lab running but I prefer it over sanctum.

Agree. And also I would like to Add something ver<y important. In PoE 1 The Adcendency was something very Special because of The Voice Acting of the Emporer. It was motivating and you felt like you really now Progress in your Class because of it. In PoE 2 not only the Adcend is boring und unbalanced, it leaks the tension, immerssion and Atmospheare.

The two worst and most hated by people mechanics are chosen for ascendancy trials in poe2 lol. Just bring back lab (or something similar that doesnt hurt more than half the classes in the game (melee) :D

For ppl that say "use the trial of chaos"

Yeah right with the invincible supersayin fcking bird...

My first character is ranged, I did all trials including "uber" as we said in poe1 as soon as I got the keys for them. That means uber at 75 with no currency xD.
My second char is melee, guess what, lvl 85 sinked in some divs into it and I barely did the 3rd trial. You tell me thats fair.

Dont defend something that shouldn't exist. Trial of ascendancy is something every build needs, it shouldn't be piece of cake for some1 that is ranged and uber for melee. IT SHOULD BE BALANCED.

Back in the days I was professional lab guide in PoE1, and getting ascendancy for melee wasn't an issue as long as you knew what you were doing, and didn't buffed Izaro with optional mechanics.

I actually liked Eternal Labyrinth very much - merciless was good place to gear up before entering maps, and get some experience. Or test prowess of your character against physical damage - Argus was the instructor. Uber lab was even more rewarding, but it punishes not well enough prepared characters without mercy.

PoE2 trials are not even close to the lab mechanically.
