wanna know what the best thing is? the 7 trial ultimatum doesnt give the 3rd ascendancy point set. propably bugged.... imagine my face when i finally completed it and the ascendancy altar wasnt active...
Fun fact - the exit door/passage shows up earlier on your minimap if you have higher Light Radius. Those volatiles in the trial won't hit you even if you stand still - you have to walk at them to get hit (and they're BIG damage).
Somehow, they made ascending worse. We thought lab was annoying. So instead they took 2 niche mechanics that people either enjoyed for profit, or absolutely fucking despised... and threw ascending behind them. That third way of ascending better just be Labrynth again. Id assume so since in act 4 theres that one island we can go with the lab themeing
ultimatum trial is so easy for freeze stormweaver but seeings lightning stormweaver made me realize how lucky I am for picking freeze and I dont have to go through the suffering of having moving enemies
Its because they see the top 1% of psychopaths playing it on league launch that cheese it to make currency. So out of touch. That and everyone praised it on sanctum league. Toxic positivity
I tried Ultimatum a few times, got the Sky Seer basically every time, failing to dodge the ground stomp once kills me instantly. Thought to myself "Well, I am not going to do this bullshit again." Now I am a level 45 Lightning Sorceress (apparently I should have gone Ice/Freeze) with only 2 ascendancy points. I am not going to waste my time running head first into a wall over and over again.
1:08 - to be fair its arguably better to do them at the end or near the end of the act as they may claim to be a lower level challenge but doing them at level or ever 2 levels over sucks ass
I enjoyed your rage cause ive been there too. Stupid overtuned ultimatum. I ascended at lvl 46 with my quarterstaff monk, and i got lucky for sure after like 20 tries
I’m very surprised you didn’t lose that sanctum run. The boss puts volcanos onto the ground that shoot projectiles and I watched steel sit on them for like a whole 30 seconds. Also I’m not surprised sanctum is really hard for his character because he only has 700 life. I’m only a few levels higher than this zone and I’ve got 800 hp with 900 es. I thought it was challenging to do ultimatum and I had twice this guys effective health. I don’t know how or why people are trying to go into level 40 areas with under a thousand hp.
@ then how did I do it? He’s playing the same kind of class that I am and has access to the same tools that I do, so how am I doing it but he isn’t? Obviously I need to play a life based character and see where the struggle is because I’m not seeing it. Every single person I’ve seen complaining about dying and difficulty has no defenses at all and has half of the life I do. I just feel like we must be playing different games at this point. Most of my gear is self crafted as well, so it’s not like I’m just getting super lucky with drops.
@@patricksheehan43 yes u are getting drops. My level 45 sorc is stuck on the fire priest boss as she has no fire resist despite adding tons of runes. She also gets caught by certain abilities as she only has 10% move speed. My merc, 4 levels lower, got max fire resists and 15% move speed. Stomped that boss fine.
I killed the bird boss in one bell rotation on my lightning invoker. Would not dare to go for 10 challenges in the current state tho, those mods are nasty
Bwhahahah fuck me that second trial of Ultimatum was haaard as fuuuck.. and I was banging my head thinking man im such a bad player.. 1hour later I did it.. now watching the ACTUAL GOD Steel playing and struggling here too makes me feel better LOL
xD haha i love this, i picked a debuff where there was a turret that shocked me, and the stupid platform i had to move under, landed RIGHT in the trap. So i couldnt do anything.
So, Lab wasn't that bad after all huh? I love the new ascendencies. It was bad at first but after learning and upgrading i got it. (Granedier witchunter btw)
Yep it’s great. Not just blitzing spam teleporting while the screen explodes for hundreds of hours. Actually engaging with the enemies and mechanics sometimes. The best part is occasionally you don’t just get one shot instantly and instead see your character take damage and recognize where you’ve failed a mechanic.
I wasted 2 hours of my life yesterday attempting this second ascendency. Playing lightning crit bloodmage but lightning kinda feels dog compared to ice builds rn early on. Ill come back when I complete my build
I had no issues clearing the ascendancy trials. The issue is my character gets weaker by ascending so ive been holding onto my points the entire campaign
@@shawnmilton6033 blood mage doubles resource cost by just adding an equal life cost on top of mana, the orbs that can spawn dont sustain you and the leech node you take after it doesent work
The Areas in PoE 2 are way to big in general. We don't have Movement Skills and even if an Exit is shown to be on the Right it may just be on the Left in the Zone itself. Same for "Deadends" with a Rare Chest in it where you have to track back for 30s to maybe hit the Right Path. I reran several Zones, in some you could find indicators wich way to go to find the Boss or the Exit, but in Act 3 you'll feel like Zoro form One Piece...
These act 3 zones are so huge they give me flashbacks to the entire act 3 overworld of Diablo 2, from getting off the boat to going down to where Mephisto hangs out.
in a game about learning boss fights... it's kinda counter intuitive to have boss fights that you can't retry and learn ... it's kinda stupid. Especially because you waste your time. Imo it's a mechanic that doesn't respect your time
It's frustratingly hard, but I guess that's also part of the fun?? I'm not a fan of beating my head against a dumpster (done it before) but if I can get resists on my gear and try to be better at dodging and rolling out of the way, I should be okay. I don't know, maybe I'm just having wishful thinking lol.
@@fobo8027 Even first time I did lab I don't remember failing nearly as many times as I have trying to get my points in PoE2. Lab was nothing by comparison.
I think every sorc should be using frost wall it's just too strong. Casting it directly ontop of large bosses shotguns when you create it and when you explode it plus blocks some of their skills. Also cold snap + hourglass + conc effect cause youll freeze the boss from casting all 3 frost walls
@matthewalvarez6884 cast on freeze comet is basically useless against bosses though. Most maps are tight and you can entirely block off zones plus it's huge boss dps. I have cast on freeze comet + a 2nd unleash commet. What is do is cast frostbite, 3 frost walls freeze the boss, frost bomb, rising tempest, unleash comet into cold snap. I do 40-50% of the bosses hp in the first 5 seconds of the fight
@matthewalvarez6884 what doesn't really work is spamming one skill like arc. I'm 80% confident steel would've done more dps just casting frostwall/frost bomb woth the right supports on CD to the boss even with mostly lightning passives specd
@@kylebusc3624 works perfectly fine, it casts comet, then you cast your manual comet , and cold snap , keep going as as before repeat rotation while doing frost bombs and hypothermia.
I love the game. And I'm glad this is just early access/beta. My biggest gripe about the game is that allot of core abilities and spells feel massively under tuned. And others are completely broken. Again it's EA/Beta so I have faith GGG will do allot of tuning. But right now the builds I want to play are garbage. And the builds that are great are mostly builds I would never play lol. Except minion build. I actually like it. But it crashes my game. So can't even do that lol.
Ngl, it wasn't much of a struggle as Merc. I did die a couple times but always from stuff I could see coming. Maybe it's just Spells being underpowered but the damage here seems so low.
I thought i'd hate sanctum, Ascending the first tier was super easy on Merc - and pretty easy on Witch especially because I hit up the Merchant right before the boss and dropped 350 Water to "Prevent Monsters from Damagine me until the end of the next room" while said next room was the boss. Edit: Forgot to add, Trial of Chaos had been a nightmare so far I got to the halfway point and just got violented about 40% of the way through.
Yeah one shot mechanics are never fun, anybody saying they are just lying lol. One shots is not difficulty, it's cheap. And forces a specific playstyle of perfect rolling. Your build hardly matters it feels like.
I almost failed my green sanctum as melee. Not a fan at all. Didnt like this crap in poe 1 either. Also heard the ubers in this game are going to utilize memory games which I have a actual short term memory problem so that was super unfortunate. Rest of game I really love so far. Love the difficulty and having to learn the mechanics
They clearly desgined the Trials with the intention of making it the least fun and most tediously annoying way of getting your advanced class unlocked. It really lowers my interest in making other characters. I have two points and gave up trying to get more. It simply takes too long and is not fun or really worth the effort. I know others that are not even bothering to do these trials at all. The ascensions might as well not be in the game for many.
Haven't bothered with ascending 3/4. Sanctum and ultimatum were my two least fave leagues. They feel even worse in POE2. Doubles down on overwhelming the content instead of careful skill. Able to clear with full honour until last boss, but squeeked by due to random ground degens while dodging humongus ground slams. 2/3 ultimatums were bricked by impossible combo options, that was only 4 floors in. Don't even want to try fishing 7/10.
I block Ultimatum on my PoE1 Atlas every league, and I sell all the Sanctum books (or just trash them late league as they're worthless). I hate both, so of course GGG inserts them in the most intrusive way possible into PoE 2.

The neat thing is you don't have to learn another boss, because you might as well just portal out when you see its the Sky Seer.

Love watching you full clear that zone after doing that on both normal and cruel...
The plot twist is that POE2 is just a giant conspiracy to make us like the lab

Very similar to my experience. Now try those bosses as a blood mage with no flasks left lol.

we could refill flask after each room encounter , by porting to town :)
you cant do that
zones feel large even at 2x speed, thats messed up
