Path of Exile 2

sekhema floor 4, next try, guess it's 16th
escape rooms and giants blocking the way

my build is just not strong enough to delete them as melee, they just fall on me on those narrow bridges and I lose 700 honour, even with 75 resistance in honour, as ES/EV build.

I can shoot them with storm wave, but there is also no time for this

This trial sucks so much, I would have even succeeded the 13th time but then a bug denied my progress.

Maybe I need to get mobility out of this skill (storm wave) and a dmg support gem in.

Just a tip - if you hug a wall, door or in this case stair side (tested on wsad) you can send storm wave through and it will hit enemies above, below you or on the other side of door or a canyon. I didnt have any issues running trial normaly but that might help you clear way before you reach choke point.

Edit: if you cant oneshot those giants, brace yourself for the bossfight

yes I did this :D but on the bridges it is not really working.

Then you got the timer running, and why ever I'm a charged staff build, cooked it myself, and this only comes into play when I shock someone, oh my god for the trial I had to rebuild my skills partially, so normally I would cull someone with a jump into the middle of a group, shock all, best case dissolve some and get some power charges if someone survives, on the other hand I've to admit conductivity is really great and just using it instead of this warp spell.

But this changes the whole gameplay. Before I even loved falling thunder, but it was not good enough for ranged, so with limited skill slots and no unset ring or how they are called, I had to use storm wave.

...what a story mark

I should just play icemonk, freeze everything and call it a day, with this freeze on chill ring. ~2.4k life and 2.6k ES, but my damage output is often not the greatest, need ~3 attack to kill normal mobs on floor 4.

Hmm, map on escape trial on fl4 i think is always the same. I go right, first one activates on its own, then i activate next one i see, go right-down and upstairs, activate, then stairs down to a bridge. Activate one beyond the bridge and go top left, then left down. By the time i activate one after bridge i have enough time to kill rares on my way

^if you dont understand that sh1t, i havent slept for like 30h now.. sorry ;D

Edit: sometimes its better to turn back and go around than try to go through wall of mobs

Edit 2: oh and for the sekhema trial you might wanna take ascendancy that takes 40% of your eva but grants phys res (if you havent yet). You WILL get hit, in zarokh's fight even a lot and that will be a huge help.

the fight at the end wasn't so much the issue, last time I would have killed him but got -25% speed on me, died to the timer, dodged a lot of his attacks even in melee, but I've to admit I went down from 10k honour to ~2k

I found the fight when he has about 10% hp (thats when i started paying attention to his hp) to be quite hectic. So much ♥♥♥♥ on screen... That time stop attack is the only attack in game i find to be pure bullsh1t. I had +10%ms and got such orb placement i barely did it...

"just" stand in his back

by the way do you know if a pure phys weapon is better than a phys / elemental one?

Just dodge or CC. Its still better than getting terrain generator desync, throwing your 100 div relic out of window...

The Last Flame. I just checked it and cheapest is 135 divs now. So if any1 ever gets it anytime soon - sell it. Getting it wasted cuz of bug is the saddest thing in PoE.

It drops Temporalis, which has pretty unique 2-4 sec CD reduction affix.
