Ascension feels nearly impossible for me

I just spent over an hour trying to get my second ascension in act 2 and just can't do it. Every choice was so crippling -15% res, -40% def, hita bleed and poison, monsters are faster.

With only 1 charm slot at that point and with only +10% speed on boots which is the best I have found in 39 levels it really seems impossible.

In 0.1 I was only ever able to get my 3rd ascension on 1 out of 7 toons. It really feels like the 3rd and 4th ascension are beyond casual players to me and a pipe dream.

It's very demoralizing and unfun. Especially the two bird bosses in the trial of Choas with the aoes, fast attack speeds, and small arena sizes.

The only boss I enjoy is the chimera. Otherwise it all feels so unfair and unnecessary hard

leave a bit to later. Tryign to run a trial as soon as you get it is askign for suffering. Go some 5-6 leves foreard and it becoems much easier

I did it today in SSF with at least 15 trys.... It's really awful and if casual players cannot ascend in 3. trial the whole ascendancy is wasted idea.

Regarding Ultimatum (Trial of Chaos) for the bird boss a very good strategy (which is good in many situations) is to run in circle when the boss does the targeted wave towards your character, don't try to attack, just run, is quite short in terms of duration.

I would try to gamba some items or look at vendors, not saying to be capped with res, but to have some there (~40% I think is decent), and a bit of life.

Another strategy would be (if you don't really care about the ascendancy 2nd point, or is not crucial) is to get to endgame, farm up to 67-70 and do the Sanctum with some relics that give you honour resistance and increased honour (but run a 2 levels Sanctum before to unlock some additional slots), I think upon completing the Sanctum with 3rd floor you will get 4 ascendancy points (if you skipped Ultimatum), I might be wrong though, I will delete this section if that is the case and someone can confirm that you won't get the points.

You should review the skills / supports you are using, or where you put your jewellers orb. your damage should start to climb really fast in act 3, on your way to cruel.

Most mobs are white in first Trial of Chaos, so if you are stuggling to kill them you 1000% struggle in campaign. so there is a big difference in blaming trails v blaming your build/gear.
