Trials are just miserable

I dont understand the logic behind the trials. the entire game is slowed down with this latest patch so your encouraged to have this "meaningful combat" experience. Except during the trials. With sekehema they expect you to do a no hit run or with the trial of chaos where the little bit of defenses you do have get wiped away with almost every modifier. they are both such a horrendous experience I just end up getting my first 2 points on the easy 1 they give you to start out and never doing it again. and the only way to make the miserable experience better is to do it over and over and maybe get some relics that make it easier. nothing about it is enjoyable.

Yeah. From the initial previews I thought we were going to be able to choose sanctum or ultimatum and not be forced into doing both. Supposedly one more "choice" of content is on the way. I never liked labyrinth either, but it is what it is. If you're playing trade can't you just buy some honour resist relics and not have to farm them? Or just buy a carry, but personally I wish they'd remove that option.

You can get all points from doing only Chaos. Sekhema is entirely optional.

That being said Chaos is just terrible too.

Agree this si horrible, nothing good about game, they just want you to suffer on so many levels.

This is another classic example of gross exaggeration to try to have a point..

No, you are NOT expected to do a no hit run to do trials. That is there as an additional challenge for an additional reward. Its there for people who have the ski to do it (if that's not you, that's fine. It's not me either).

Chaos trials you literally have 3 choices in every trial. If you are consistently choosing to pick the choice that removes your defence, thats a you problem as well.

If you guys are going to constantly try to make up new complains, can you at least put some effort into them??

I feel your pain.
I 1st do the Sekhemas 1st triel in act 2 normal, then in Act 3 I level up to be higher for the Trial of Chaos, with a bit of struggle, I managed to take the 2nd ascendancy as well.

The 3rd ascedency is always harder for be on both Sekhemas and Trial of Chaos, so again I have to level up in endgame to come back to one of them and to the 3rd trial.
From my experience it really falls down to luck and RNG for the Trial of Chaos regarding the debuffs that are presented to you.

I never could do the 3rd Trial of Sekhemas, i just gave up on that because most of the good relics that droped are too big and I cannot place them since the slots are blocked :)))

So usually i do the 3rd Trial of Chaos for around 3-4 times , either way, they are both a bit too punishing

I get the idea behind the way the trials are designed, it is what it is i guess.

The trials are the worst idea I have ever seen in a mainstream ARPG. It's an idea so bad, so incredibly bad it's a little hard to believe.

I'm sure as usual Jonathan is behind them, he would have you light on fire for tying your shoes in the morning if he could. This 'everything has to be a slog and feel bad because that's fun' vision he's got is real albatross around the game's neck.

in the last patch, you could choose. Nothing significant has changed in the trials, except that we have become weaker and given the bosses an adequate amount of health points.

Trial of shekhema is fresh dog poop.

Sekhemas is easier than chaos and by far. I do it for guarantee ascendancy, but farm both. It's better loot than maps. Sekhemas is pretty fun bc you can stack cracked boons. I think it's skill issue guise.
