The trials are (mostly) fine, what's wrong is the high requirements for Ascendacy points 5 and 6

So your first ascendancy points will probably be from Sekhemas and the second set of ascendancy points from Chaos Temple. Let's face it, these two trials are okay. It's challenging, it's tough but it's also a tutorial. It happens before even cruel, so you will just get those points after a while.

The last ascendancy points are basically pinnacle content, let them be difficult and long to do.

But the third set of ascendancy points are currently an issue and a big of a mess for many reasons.

- Supposedly, you need a level 60 Barya or greater. Level 60-64 Baryas are extremely rare and difficult to find, because there are no Waystones for those monster levels. And the campaign maps with monster level 60-64 are very sparce on enemies. Not to mention that farming campaign maps is kind of a bad look. The difference in challenge between a Level 60 and a Level 65 Barya is really huge. But let's face it, due to XP gain requirements, you are not going to be playing Level 65 very often either. 68-70 seem like a better target for Barya farming.

Level 68 Barya requires you to defeat 3 floors (3 bosses) and, let's face it, you will need level 78 before you can do that. Although if you have level 78 you won't be farming level 68 levels, you'd in theory have a bunch saved on your stash from when you were playing level 68 maps. I guess.

- There's either no Ultimatum for ascendancy points 5-6, or it requires much larger monster level than 70.

- 3-floors Sekhemas is just too long, and the Terracota Bros are enough of a challenge for level <=70 characters.


So, all I am saying is, make level 60-75 Baryas end with Terracota Bros and beating those two floors should be enough to get the 5th and 6th ascendancy points.
