3rd Acension impossible

[Otaku_Rabbit]

So im trying the 3rd sekkamas trial and the boss is one shotting me Right at the start with his massive Aoe slam, this is completely broken, as a melee class this is way too much damage.
is there any updates planned for this to be fixed?

Being one shotted is a sign that your character is too weak for the content. Retreat, level up, gear up, come back.

It depends on the class. As lvl 81 Merc, i run around with 1600Hp. Most boss enemies can 1 shot me. Even some Rare enemies. Most of the time, its not a problem, though. 3rd Ascension was pretty easy. With my 1 button lightning build, i clear the whole screen with some shots. Even outside the screen.

There is no info about anything being planned. However, it's one of the most criticized areas of the game, especially since they are necessary for your ascension points. So I personally think it's likely that it'll get nerfed at some point. But no official stance on that yet.

Are you talking about the first boss ? How about not being in range for the slam?

We're talking melee class, so either monk or warrior, both are quite robust. Running out of honour is a very real issue for them in trials, but getting one shotted is only an issue if they're underpowered.

On my monk I did the third ascension at about level 72 or so. When I completed it I only had about 60 honour left, one more scratch and I'd be down, but being one shotted was never a worry.

Also, the way OP talks about being one shotted right at the start with a huge aoe slam... that sounds very much like the first boss to me, the one that should be a pushover.

True. Honour for melees is just a dump idea.

sekhema is easy mode if you have the correct relics. Get 2 tapestry with 30% honour res and any max honour on it. Fill the rest with key quantity and %life. I think most people consider it "hard" because they go in with 0 honour res, aside from not being geared/skilled properly.

you talking about the scorpio (boss of stage 3) ?
every attack (even from the other 2) is avoidable and the rooms are large enough.
you can check some youtube video to see the mecanisms, if you do it without a big build or big stuff, the best strategy is to be patient, only attack/busrt at some phase and avoid attack the rest of the time, don't take risk.
All shekema boss are easier with range class imo (or with build that can down a boss in one burst), can be a bit harder in close range if you can take them down quickly, but they are doable.
It is painfull tu redo the 3 stage because of one mistake, so prepare, know the mecanism before going into the room.

and as said by other, relics can help :
more honor
honor resistance
try to get one with "see one more room" so you can choose the best corse of action
and if there's still space, reduce boss damage can maybe help ?

but best stragegy is: don't get hit

I did the 3th ascendancy with deadeye (archer) and invoker (monk), around lvl 65, with a correct stuff (you can have a very very good stuff lvl 60 for 1 exalt per piece and keep this stuff until lvl 70, then resell it at the same price, so basically it's free, learn to use poetrade correctly) was a bit longer with monk, had to be more patient, but every attack is avoidable.

For the scorpio, constantly run on the outside of the room when he go underground and jump (because he will put quicksand where he land)
also run around on the outside of the room when he spit poison (cause poison area)
then he we do a big sweep with his tail, and just after that you can attack it from the back for couple of seconds.
listen to the voice of barja (or whatever her name is) she's telling you when to be carefull, most of the time, when she say something like "whatchout!" just run in cercle ^^

and luck is yes, a factor, so good luck !

im lvl 75 and the trial is lvl 66-67 at most.

[Otaku_Rabbit]

its the rattlecage guy not the scorpion, where do i stand to avoid a aoe that covers a massive amount of the map, close was a 1shot , far was a 1shot.
Someone said hide behind the rocks iv yet to try that, so im waiting for another trial thingy to drop

[Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame]

No, it's not LOL. Gear up, level up, and try again later.

The recommended level should be increased on these trials, because it's misleading.
