I hate Trial of Sekhemas

I have to disagree, I love Sekhemas. Since I've learnt to do it...

I have done my third ascendency in the first try with my last character SSF.

The trick is to collect relics with honor resistance and try to get 75%, just that.

You can pay to do it anyway.

Not only this, although such approach is definitely a good start. I'd add the other affix for the relic should be max honor or max life, or bosses take increased damage.
Next huge part is to manage holy water bo be able to buy important boons - Scrying Crystal, Ornate Dagger, and so on.
And the last is choosing correct path, and avoid choke points unless you're absolutely sure there will be no affliction there.

That's a basic someone who what to run Sekhemas without pain needs to learn.

I had to quit SSF because of them to buy item to try them again and I died again and quit for a month when I came back there was 6373838 people in chat offering free 8 points I tought it is scam but I had nothing to loose and it was not scam So thx comunity I did not quit poe Forever 🥰

Also trials would be sort of fun for me if I they were not mandatory for ascendancy.

The Ascendancy trials are a cancer on the game IMO. Worst idea I have seen in years. To force players through that slog from hell to advance their character is just indicative of Jonathan's 'everything has be a punishment' 'Vision'.

Leave them in for the people that like them, add some phat loot and RNG so people run them again and again I don't care, just stop forcing us to do that hell for Ascendancies.

If you have people setting 3 Div aside on all chars for the carry thru these dang things to avoid them maybe they aren't as fun as Jonathan thinks they are.

I've leaned to do it and can do it somewhat reliably now, but I still don't love it. Call me lazy (I am) but just getting 2 ascension points at level 20, 40, 60, and 80 would be preferrable then the trials can be used to target farm timeless jewels / whatever.

I posted earlier than i liked the trials....

well I got to maps and realized that an 80 trial
cost an exalt....

you know what the hell I did. I've been leveling up
in trials and my atlas is all but devoid of waystones.

hahahaha. I've got some serious honour resistance
and key related honour recovery and other fun things
like increased damage against monsters and bosses.

still cant get the floor 3 boss, but im learning the fight.

the greatest thing about poe2 is that most of the boss
fights are fair, and if they're not this is beta.
the goal seems to be fair. meaning as pure skill as possible.

now doing 80's is teaching me the bosses with the least
amount of mercy possible. I wasted my lvl 60 and lvl 62 trial
a while back. when I can damn near break floor3 in an 80
then i can probably do it in a 67. and then theres the 4th floor
and I want to get to the 4th.

well. gonna go run a few more trials.
cause I like this shit.

got floor 3 boss in lvl 80.

got to lvl 85 hunting him.

maps are for the birds.

still haven't price checked all my extra relics that
I don't use but are probably better than anyone complaining
about trials has on there person.

I guess I otta open a shop. people be needing a noobs
spoils obviously.

actually no. earn it. or dont.
