Trial of Sekhemas is so stupid

My issue is that they're required for player power progression. In poe 1 no one really cares about them because they're both optional for endgame content (that's also why they're the least played mechanics of each league in poe 1) if you want to do it for a trade league you'll make bank off the items that only drop from them but they're not required to progress in the game. I feel like GGG was a bit butt hurt that nobody liked them outside of a small group of people so they forced everyone to run them by tying them to ascendancy classes in poe 2, but that's just my take. I'd be fine with both if they were just optional endgame content that you don't HAVE to do if you don't want to.

GGG Let me farm in peace, stop wasting 30 minutes of my life just to get one shot honor at the last boss and then have to find that stupid key again just to try again. The most annoying mechanic i've ever encountered in my 30 years of gaming experience, it's not fun, it's annoying.

Let me get my ascendancy points some other way!!!!!!!

I really hate to say this:
1) Your build probably suxs.
2) You probably do not have good knowledge of game mechanics.
3) You probably do not put in time, effort and dedication to learn from content providers on how to beat the game.

Many players have successfully complete the trials. Hence there must be something wrong with you if you are unable to complete the trials.

I suggest that you work hard, show some dedication and commitment, and put in some effort to learn the game.

Ok, so my build at the time of this post was doing maps with no issue, literally one shotting every white mob on the screen with a single button press. So, first point is already down. I can read 99% (the 1% are ones like Jamanra overhand slam where it does not always feel consistent on when he will slam) of the telegraphs in the game without issue, so yea I think I can understand the game mechanics. If I need to STUDY A GUIDE TO LEARN A CORE MECHANIC there is a problem. And it is not a me problem. Ascending is a CORE mechanic of the game.

And you seemed to miss one of the original points of the post. I had BEATEN THE BOSS when my honour hit 0 and ate the cheat death boon. Boss was dead, then an effect I saw no telegraph for hits me and drains 3/4 of my honour bar in one hit. It is not that I cannot do the trials. It is that the trials are insanely annoying for a core mechanic to be locked behind, and they have shit like what happened to me that makes it even more frustrating. First, you need to find the currency. Ok, for third ascendency that is no longer an issue as I assume when the interludes leave and we get act 5 a side boss in act 5 will drop the Barya. Still need to find a coin for 4th ascendency. Then, you need to run a 30 minute minimum trial unless you are so overgeared you can ignore everything. And if you fail, you need to find the new currency again. It is frustrating for a casual player.

If they were optional, yea I would have no issues with them. But they tie a core part of character development to them, so it means they need to be good for the WHOLE community, not the niche who like that rogue-like style of gameplay
