Trial of Sekhemas

The trials of ascendancy were WAY better and way more rewarding. This league mechanic and now necessary mechanic rewards evasion, block, and ES characters...and not to mention LUCK. You MUST get a decent set up to have a chance in the second trial. All I could think about is "Really!!?...Really!!???...Are you ducking kidding me?" (maybe the d isn't a direct quote) I'd rather scrape dung off a toilet bowl. At least I can control how fast I can get that job done. A trial of damage avoidance is the lamest mechanic especially when there's buggy traps. Game is still A+ IMO in spite of this mechanic...you can still enjoy if you're computer/console can survive your destructive rage. :)

Totally agree. Yet this is just another Trial rant among many many others. I understand that some people enjoy this ''game''. And I refer to the Trial of the Sekhemas as its own game, independent of PoE2. I do not like that game. I play game to escape from boredom, stress, annoyance and to have some fun basically. What happens when I play this game, I get infuriated, stressed and it is as far from fun as any game can make me feel. I'm 84 still with only four ascendancy points, call me noob all you want, tell me to get gud all you want, I want to play PoE, not this other game built into it. Make it a stand alone, I don't know. The fact that the fundamental aspect of your character's progression is gated behind this is.... I don't know, I just don't know.

It is a different game, it has exclusive items, exclusive mechanics, it is inspired by roguelites, some stats from poe2 become useless in that game. Don't get me wrong, I truly understand how Trial of Sekhemas can stand on its own feet as a good game with interesting feature, I'm just not interested to play that game... God I'm angry.
