Trial of Ascendancy in this game FUCKING SUCK

TBH I am waiting on a new release of POE 1, this version isn't as fun. I would love to find and craft my own gear but the amount of currency is just slim and the junk that falls with the RNG is trash.

AND who the heck wants an inscribed ultimatum as LOOT? FFS at least be like other RPG and give us gear to successfully move up through the story. SHIT just trying to survive I stopped listening the story.

I have tried doing several different characters to see which skills I would enjoy and so far one character seems to be surviving. The rest are just no fun to play.

Guess some Vaal people run a secret S&M club in NZ. They always enjoy the great, unspeakable, chaotic pleasure of torment.

my builds seem to be inverse atleast until the boss fight. but atleast i could make it to the boss on ulti. just wasted 2 hours because i accidently didnt see aflictions small print on restore honor and grant afflictions < devs why you should kick yourself in the shins ona cold winter day with a rusty hitch.

depends on the build. CI builds cake walk it.

I prioritize rare mobs if there. then focus on what my build is. and even consider setting up for a ci clearing then respec after if need be. just so i can fudge the b/poison extra chaos choices.

it is a rough set up. but my issue is spiking on the trial master and fucked a good few hours of grind to get to the point just for them to have servers spike and then red spikey shit 1 shotting your ass before you can move.

1st & 2nd Ascendancies ( Sekhema / ToC ) can be done rather smoothly during Normal Campaign , the difficulty of the first levels is not crazy high . But the 3rd & 4th Ascendancies are a different story : 3rd require to be in the level 70-80 range with a glass cannon type of build + honour relics to be able to lay waste of Sekhema bosses as quickly as possible before they drain your Honor bar . 4th Ascendancy is to be done exclusively through the Trials of Chaos , Sekhema is just too unbalanced & RNG dependent for non-optimized builds .

CI or not , any build being used to beat Difficulty 4 Bosses on T15+ Maps with a dozen modifiers will bend over the Ultimatum Bosses below level 80 unless you pick really detrimental Afflictions , but there's 3 options to choose from at every step so it's way more preventable to wreck a run than what can happen during Sekhema Trials .

If they don't change the ascendency 'system' in PoE2... I'll never play it again. It's the reason I uninstalled.

No one likes sanctum. No one played sanctum. Stop forcing it on players, just deal with it, sanctum leagues sucks.

Haven't logged for a while, will see if this feedback gets heard. Motivation to play took a nosedive post-campaign as every goal became tedious or impossible.

What pisses me off is Uber lab took about as much time as a single floor in PoE II Sanctum. I don't understand why they couldn't just have brought Izaro up to date. I don't understand why they have to make getting your Ascendancy so unfun. I feel more like Blizzard came up with this.

World of Warcraft for years has been about punishing the player base to get something good, and I feel these trials are a punishment, not a reward. When you did a Dungeon in Zelda or a boss in Metroid you were excited. I am not excited one bit in PoE II Trials, it's more like dread. It takes so long to do, then you have so much to lose.
