Trial of Sekhemas is so stupid

Its ok. I make all trials in v0.1 with melee titan and now with oracle-wolf. Its easy, just stack res and have some decent def mechanics, like shield block or freeze.

go again
trials with max honor res are almost too easy now, its just rng on room layout and sometimes you auto-win

I've had a lot of annoyance with sekhemas (and chaos), you can even see a recent post from me ranting about the difficulty, but it is doable. I was able to get my 4th ascendancy by stacking a ton of max honour and honour resist. And yeah I was overleveled but I don't think that was necessary considering the huge benefits of honour relics. This does mean you either need to grind sekhemas to get relics or buy through trade, but you can get what you need to get it done. I don't think it's perfect though, I'd love if they removed debuffs like "no armour" "no evasion" etc.

No, the trials are very good. Need just a little work on it. Better loot for examble.

Never had any bigger problems with sanctum. Not with werewolf, minions, witch, melee. In fact they are easy, when you go with the right level and gear in it.

its an RNG mess.

Wish it was learn from your mistakes, the death is fair and so on, that would make it fun, but thats exactly what its not. The whole game is full of predatory RNG thats not there for the quality of the player expariance.

You've never played a roguelike, have you? Roguelikes are all about the RNG, how you can persevere through skill now matter how badly a run might try to screw you over. That was the premise for this when GGG made Sanctum in PoE1 which became Trial of the Sekhemas in PoE2.

If you treat this content like you would Hades or Curse of the Dead Gods, you'll probably have a better time of it.

They take too long honestly, first a second are fine but the third and fourth just drag on and on.

they may be a little too long. otherwise they are fine. stack honor resist until you get better relics. also keep gather water in case balbala shows up mid trial.

And let's look at the counter arguments (again): Not a single soul is saying they enjoyed the trials, or had fun playing them. At best, people are managing or enduring them. Both the trials are absolute garbage gameplay that most people hate. Some people find them hard, some easy, but most find them boring/tedious/horrible.

I think they want us players to feel the "grind". So u sign that when u entered the game.

Look at this from a different pov.

Be better, learn from mistakes and fight your way up.

It's almost like company that made PoE called GRINDING GEAR GAMES
