Trial of Sekhemas ruins the game

So you want everything to be a participation trophy? The trials are intended to be a challenge (they are not anymore) and the reward for the trials is a huge powerspike. If its given out for free, why have it exist at all

Well said. The participation trophy equivalent would be just picking the ascendancy from character select, and getting points at level breakpoints for free.

Which I would despise, because to me Sekhema is a very fun and well designed mechanic.

Then do who ever want to do it. I don't, I disliked it and I'm obligated to it. But the game forces you to do so you progress in the game, you don't have any alternatives. This is "so well designed" that ppl charge ingame coins to do it for you, because no one likes it and no one wants to do it. Only a few like it (probably the ppl who participate of this forum)

1- plenty of people carry it for free.
2- you, technically, can still progress in the campaign while being unascended.
3- you could continue to progress and overlevel the trial to the point you trivialize it even without relics.
4- you aren't obligated to do it. it's a mini challenge that gives you a boost in player power. You can complete a lot of content (if not all) in the game un-ascended.


You could provide a ninja of your character in the EA Discussion board and ask what changes you could make to have an easier time in Sekhema.

I can never find someone to help me, even on first bosses when I was learning how to play.

I don't understand the game enough to have a ninja of my character yet, I'm following a mobalytics build, because this game is too complex for a beginner to understand, and unlocking these would allow my monk to get more spirits and with that I would be stronger to go through the endgame maps which are hard for me now.

But I'll have to skip this until I have enough divines to buy my way out of this shitty content.

At least I can die a few times on the endgame maps.

Game was perfect until this trial...

One thing is die and try again, another thing is die and lose 1 hour of your life to try again. This is ridiculous.

Ask if someones doing a sekhema carry.

but your build being unable to map is unlikely to be 100% dependent on that ascendancy.. its a boost but unless you needed an ascension mechanic for your build to come online it wont suddenly make you 10 times the character.

I could never get my 4th ascension last playthrough and this time it took me until lvl 91. I play SSF. But its all up to luck. I still cant beat that wind bird in Chaos Trials, Sekhemas was actually the easy one for me after I got the honor resistance.

Trial of Chaos ruins the game too. I just tried to run trials of chaos at lvl 90 META build, all I do is die. It's pathetic how much time and investment I put in to building this poison build Pathfinder, I should feel awesome but instead I just can't cope with how much I die.

First time is the hardest. You will overcome with persistence and some decent relics. Subsequent runs will be easy. Buying boons from the merchant will further trivialize the encounter.

Sekhemas kinda ruins thw game for me as well. I also hate that the trial runs are 30 exalts a piece this season as well. Im bricked right now lol.

Buy a controller. I'm convinced people find this trail hard because they are playing on mouse and keyboard. They only time I've found sekhemas hard was when I was first learning it. and ONLY because I had to get multiple keys to retry it.
