trials mechanics are *&*&!*&"*&*@!*(#*#(

[LVL 9999 OVERGEARED LAST BOSS]

my dudes, this is not fun , this is enraging , the "honour" mechanic that makes you loose honor em you get hit is really punishing even to ranged characters , also trial 3 an 4 have to be done multiple times , its enraging , i have enought power to melt enemies but the mechanics make its not viable , at all , did i said its makes you mad ?
i like this game, but the trials need multiple changes .

anyone knows if it will have any change at all in the future ?

If you farm the relics and try and stack a minimum of 50% preferable 80%+ honor resistance. You would only take like a 100 honor loss even from the bosses. It used to be a struggle for me too. And try and go to the shopkeep as much as possible to buy any dmg buff he gives.

Considering they made the boss of the first floor more bearable (especially for weaker classes) when more players started to reach him, they are likely to tweak them in the future.
But more people need to reach the higher levels.

They also made some changes to honour. And people are still salty about this mechanic. So we, may, see more changes to this thing.

It's supposed to take multiple tries, and ideally you need to be over-levelled when doing it.

Honour scales from your defences, and if you are higher level with better gear you will have way more honour. Honour resist is also mandatory from the relics that drop. The resist cap is 75.

I did the 4th tier last night on my 5th attempt (lvl 88 on a lvl 76 key with Infernalist minion build) and to be honest it was easy, but mostly because I had 5.2k honour, max res, a movement speed boon, a well planned run where I could see an extra room ahead, and a *lot* of luck with the layouts.

For the first 3 floors of the run I only lost about 300 honour in total, but was able to recoup that easily. By the end of the run I was down to about 2k and that was all from the 4th floor which I never got to before and I didn't know what the mechanics were for the final boss either.

I agree the honour mechanic and the challenges are pretty awful right now, and I'm not a fan at all, but when you treat it like a rogue-lite mode that requires some repeats to gain better relics and more familiarity, it ends up pretty manageable.

The main problem is that GGG didn't tell us enough from the start. They just dumped us in and left us to sink or swim after making the original trial available far too early for most players to get through it at the relevant difficulty.

And as for doing that as melee? F U C K that!

ive tried about 15 times even with resist get bad RNG got to scorp boss tonight got her to 11% and got quick sand because she spent more time diving then able to hit her.. I really dont like spending 30+ mins doing trials to lose time and XP at the end it makes me log off for a couple of days almost, its depressing.
