3rd and 4th ascensions are not fun, frustrating and too hard

Honor is a flawed mechanic that goes against your build, unless you plan on full evasion or something idk.

ANd the trial of Chaos has some extremely frustrating situations like the accumulation of bad rng debuffs and that bird boss.

I literally die to unreactable 1-hit kills. The tornado appeared over my head and I insta died. Other times he just makes the slashes while off screen and I insta die. I'm level 88 and can easily do maps but for some reason GGG doesn't want me to get my 3rd and 4th ascensions.

Difficulty should not come from RNG and unreactable events, but from a combination of careful build planning and skill based combat. This game is everythign but this. It's either boringly easy or frustrating.

I feel your pain. I played like 6 characters and on one of them I made it past my 3rd ascendancy. I have stopped playing since last week when I tried to Corrupt my spear to hopefully give my Huntress a boost to help me through my 3rd Ascendency and it basically destroyed it. I had lost 5 times at which twice during the final boss fight and one of those I died next to the last of the final boss I took down and died next to him. I took out the one and died next to the last boss I had just taken out. It was excruciatingly unfair.

A couple days ago I tried 3rd ascendancy on my lvl 90 HC character and go close to the end and got locked into having no ES which made me had to leave. What a collosal waste of time lol. Chose a blind mod affliction on first floor and when I get half way through last floor I'm stuck with no es on a tanky es stacker lol God I beg you atleast change the mods.

If it's any consolation, the current 3rd and 4th ascension trials are placeholders and we'll get the real ones when Acts 4-6 come out.

Though it's possible GGG will manage to make the real trials even worse somehow.

the tornado has such a huge wind-up animation, he basically puts his wings around his body then starts spinning.

as for the Sekhema trial, you jus gotta run some lower level ones to get honor resistance to 75% then its easy. (assuming you have normal res and some form of defense like evade or shield)

I don’t think having very difficult 3rd and 4th ascensions is a problem.

But I agree the majority of that difficulty shouldn’t be in 100% RNG modifiers as it is today. That feels horrible.

poe 2 is not fun

fixed that for you

I'd at least like 1-3 to not require any drops to attempt, like in PoE1. Also the chaos trial gated to lvl 75+ for the 3rd doesn't make sense, let us choose between chaos or sekhemas freely.

can't even know how can ppl feel it's hard
you can even use warcry to finish it just with about 400 str and 75% honor resist for every character with lv80 trial.
not even to say now it's only lv65
maybe you should review your build,if you can't make one,just copy one.

I don't have no way near good enough items to get 75% honor res, more like 10%. DO I have to spam try the trial until I get the res? The lowest barya I have is level 69 and then it's all level 80.
