The trial of Sekhemas is the most anti-fun game mechanic i have every saw in a video game

[G-sai]

I spent a whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hour to get to the 3rd floor and at the last stage I stepped on a gas trap that destroyed 2000 honor in one half second.

God, why do this in such a bastard way, I don’t understand.

Well snaps. That's sounds rough dude. What do you suggest can be improved?

[CrappyBark]

I would prefer just a timer over the honor. I barely managed to beat it today to try to salvage my witch, but so far witch has just been miserable

Agreed. There needs to be big changes to Honor. A max per second drain, about 25% more base, relics need to do more to start, and reduced the overall per hit by some. Also, keep trash monster Affix and behavior out. The leaping Snake/naga types that pounce out of the ground instantly. Rares with proximity phase. If you're a ranged character you will always lose honor to those. Melee have at least a chance to evade/dodge.

It would literally be better to just make it no healing. The honour system feels like tagged on garbage tbh.

There's no reason for the honor mechanic to even exist for ascendancy. It's trivial to the archetypes that are already the strongest by far (ranged evaders and pet builds) but a massive handycap to melee tanks, the exact characters that the devs promised PoE2 would make more viable. You could keep it around for strictly-optional content if you really want to, but it absolutely shouldn't be gatekeeping a vital progression mechanic.

Some games are harder than others. Get gud.

What build are you using? My minion witch has been pretty great so far already made it to the cruel difficulty so I get to do everything all over again

Aww. AWWWWWW

I like the trials, I'm not sure how I feel about the honor system though. I know you can get relics to improve your honor pool but I would like more ways to replenish honor.

The trials are terrible. Worst part of the game without a doubt.

Not because they hard btw, because boring minigames.

[ChuTheMan]

they add classes that are meant to be tanky instead of nimble.

yet a core gameplay feature as the trial of Sekhemas punish you for having a tanky character instead of nimble.

Making it timed instead of what we have now wouldn't punish tank/melee characters as hard as it does now.
