Trial of Sekhema, Damage over time, and the scorpion boss

To be honest the entire honor system is just completely unfair, my brother has a kit worth multiple divine orbs and out levels the trial by 10-13 levels and still got massacred by the scorpion boss.

Now insert a normal human being with no divs and a fairly juicy kit that can clear t4-t6 maps, I made it through the whole 3 trials, got amazing boons and really lucky afflictions but I get absolutely smoked by the scorpion boss. did i mention all 4 of my relics have 11-14% honor resist?

before i whine about how absurd that boss is, damage over time needs to either:
A. only take away honor with 1 instance of damage
B. do not allow damage over time in trial of sekhemas period.
C. Remove Honor or make it so that honor is tied to rewards or something rather than failure. Just let people get their god forsaken ascendancies.
D. SIDE NOTE: why have all these relic modifiers for reduced dmg taken or deal more damage to enemies if none of that matters because honor is what kills your run not actually dying? I may not be a game designer but at least the fishing poles have some flavor unlike these useless relics.

Scorpion boss... ironically damage over time isn't even my main issue with this boss. The fact that he ALSO has damage over time which essentially deletes 1/3 or more of your honor bar with a single application alongside him going in and out of the ground so much you rarely ever get to hit him, the map is full of 3 to 4 poison trap pads, 8+ quicksand zones (because he is just diving in and out of the ground for 80% of the fight), his poison spray puddles, AND tiny little ads that constantly get in your way of the EXTREMELY limited space you already have.

How are you supposed to fight this boss with the current honor system? i had essentially a perfect run but this boss killed it because he is unfightable for most of the fight and you are just taking endless dot dmg which again shreds your honor assuming you even made it there with a full honor to begin with.

if all you are doing is t4-t6 maps, i dont think you are ready.

im still new to the game, my first champ (a warrior) with no build at all and crap gear was doing up to t13 maps, and was getting stomped in the trials just like you. I didnt think to myself "absurd! i should be rolling this boos!"

do some trading, level up some, change up your build or perfect it more, you need to get stronger, and thats pretty much all there is to it.

also, doesn't hurt to learn the boss mechanics if you are spending over 10 seconds fighting him, by watching a video or two on how to fight said boss.

as far as the honor goes, im with you, its kinda lame.

You need to get relics that total 75% honour resist.

Even better if they have increased max honour.

Also, the best way to not get poisoned and get dead is to not get hit.

All of its attacks have rather large wind up animations. Don't get greedy with dmg, at your level the fight is a marathon, not a sprint.
