I think they really want TotA in PoE2 as well. I think this is definitely a test run and I'd expect it as a "mid-league" for PoE2 between now and 1.0.

ToTA was always planned as the third ascendancy trial type in PoE2.

I can do suckmyass for the first, then ultimatum for the 2nd, even back to suckmyass for the third but I hate doing the 4th, I hate temple and suckmyass the most in this game and I hated Alva shit in poe1.

Trials of chaos are so much more chill than doing sekhemas, I don’t understand why anyone would put up with that whole honor gay ass mechanic. Other than the first two points (which I think you’re forced into sekhemas), I did all my ascendency with trials of chaos.
I suppose if you’re an es class and have billion honor it makes sense but otherwise trials are the way to go. Even trial master is a pretty simple fight and you get a shot at jackpot drops.

You're not forced to do Sekhemas, but the Chaos trials are higher level so you have to ascend later if you do these instead.

As long as you're ranged with strong damage, Sekhemas isn't that bad if you get some honor resist relics ready before you run. And yeah ES helps a lot too.

Ultimately the biggest issue they BOTH have is they're way too fucking long. It shouldn't take near that long to ascend imo, they need to cut down the amount of shit there is in there, regardless of any other adjustment and hopefully the 3rd trial is also shorter. Sekhemas floors should be like half of what they are in trial 3 and 4, and Chaos needs to speed up the bullshit and cut some rooms too, and probably cut the keys while they're at it(make it like 3/6/9/12 rooms). In PoE1 even when you have dogshit layouts it takes like half the time to run on a normal build and with good layouts it's even faster, it's so tedious even when well prepared it takes so much time.

It was always fun!

Took a char from 98 to 100 on TotA exp only and it wasn't even a cheese build.
Yeah I did a character the same. If you had a good enough build and got good troops you could win probably 95% of the time. It was the 5% that sucked real, real bad. It used to be Turtles but they got fixed then it was god mod Lunar dancers and shit. I liked it though, found two Hinekora's Locks during it.

I think a fully automated one would be cooler for sure.

What's that skill bound to X?

Divine Ire Spell Totem Hiero with a self casted (and rarely used to be honest) Void Sphere can't really be regarded as all that cheesey. I still have the character. It's not great.

edit - I don't even know why I had two health flasks, every single mechanic at that point was a one shot.
