easy enough for ranged.

Annoying for Melee who have to dodge around like every pack is an elden rings boss.

honour should have been a timer instead of "lose honour on hit"

I'm ranged.
I was playing with 6K honnor dude...
I lost 3K on a fire...
I lost after 30 minutes of trial.
I clean T11 map, haver 70% resist+, 2K5 hp and 1K2 Eshield, and i can't clean that ♥♥♥♥. ♥♥♥♥ that, this is a complete waste of time and a big mistake from GGG.
3 level is too much, stop that

Honour was a big mistake.

it is the worst design of any video game i have ever seen since the original honor system in world of warcraft vanilla.

must have something to do with "honor" and "garbage system" being related?

lol

I just completed mine and it was a pain in the nether region. (playing monk)
Basically I tried to look for Ritua/Hourglass/Escape/Gauntlet. You wanna avoid the other one cause you have to kill a beefy monster, unless the negative debuffs are not worth the trouble. If you are lucky there will be a merchant before the boss fight that can help you immensely. (I had no such luck, had to cheese mine with ice shooty ability)

you can also try to look for gear that gives you honor on the poe2 trading site.

Using Sanctum for Ascendancy generally was not a smart move.

People already hated on Lab in PoE 1... whenever they decided to put Ultimatum and Sanctum as the Ascendancy mechanics must be when they were high on something... I can't explain it otherwise. 2 distinctly different types of gameplay compared to everything else locking your most important points for character progression was already bad in PoE 1 and is worse here.

i've just discovered you have to complete MULTIPLE trials back to back with the same honour pool. what the actual F. 1 trial is punishing enough...now 2... and I presume 3 later? who's got hours to spend only to fail and lose the rare drop that allowed this stupid trial in the first place. also, why the hell drop trials that don't reward ascendancy. No one wants to do that ♥♥♥♥... now we got drops to do it for what... corrupted yellows for another class. SMH.

I got throught all only to have 50 honors left...next was the boss. Needless to say I failed. Bad game mechanic

the trial of suckmyass is the best part of the game imo. I actually like the honor system. It's the only part of the game where I don't go through it feeling brain dead. Especially playing in a group. I can yell at my friends every time they take a little bit of damage. It's fun.

you forgot about the affliction that stack through different floors too.
when you get to floor 3, you most likely will have 5 or more afflictions which the dev put in rooms that no matter which you pick, you will still get afflictions.

omg. yeah i figured they stacked per trial... but that they stack through all the trials, jesus. guess i'm never getting my next 2 ascendancy points. i'm all for a hard challenge, but this is just too much effort.

I did my third ascendancy on Warrior. Pretty obvious but you need to cap your Resist, have decent Armour & Block. Relic with Honor Resist and Honor Restore are what you are looking for.

When you need to choose your path: Prioritize the Trial Currency (forgot the name) & Merchant. Forget the Key. Buy a ton of Positive Boon. Can also dispel Negative Boon. I got like +50% Restore/Max Honor & +40% Movement Speed. By the End of the third floor I had no Negative Boon that hindered me.

Then it was the Final Boss fight: Never did before but this Scorpion is REALLY hardcore for Melee Champ (Trap & Heavy Slow Zone). Still, I beat it first try (Thank Hammer of the God). Level 66.

the only thing i can say is that you got extremely lucky, i have did all the things you do besides armor and block, since i am a monk who focus more on energy shield and evasion, there is 0 point for me to focus this much resources into armor and block in the first place.

and i have run the trial not less than 10 times, maybe 20 times if you include the 2 floor trials which cant get you ascensions point.

and i have never once came out with more positive boon than negative boon from what i recall.

there are literally stages of the rooms where all the rooms will give you negative boon no matter which one you choose in all of my runs, it is impossible to avoid.

and i have also never once see a stages of rooms give me all positive boons no matter which one i pick.

shield warrior second room get dot spamed to honour death by 3 rare mobs ggez i come back never ... or later

its extremly easy after patch and with some honour resistance but still a stupid way to get the Ascendecy
