1 Week - Fate of the Vaal Feedback

Overall the game is in the best state it's been. Shapeshift and druid are cool, it's great to have abyss tablets.

The Honor system in Trial of Sekhemas is still far too punishing for melee players. I'm level 79 and still haven't completed my third ascendancy. I failed again today (as werewolf) with level 66 barya, because I lost too much honor on/by the 3rd floor.

Yet it was pretty easy for me last league when I leveled a Deadeye to 90. It really seems biased against melee and survival-oriented builds.

The game already has multiple ways it punishes you for getting hit. But you can build against some of them, and if you survive you can keep going. Not in Trial of Sekhemas. If you want to keep the honor system as it is, provide an alternative way to achieve the first and third ascendancies at levels ~20 and ~60 that doesn't have this honor system.

With druid, I'm trying to build a hybrid spellcaster/werewolf. But it's hard to figure out how that can really synergize. Seems ok as long as I stick with druid spells, but maybe not as impactful as I'd like. And I'd like more spell choices, maybe with remnants and charges and ground effects. Weapon swap seems like a clever solution at first. But as a druid, it seems like I should be able to get the benefits of both weapons at once, without having to choose between them.

Pounce shouldn't have its travel blocked by enemies so often: it should help you cut through the crowd to reach the caster at the back, for example, but instead you travel 1 meter and get blocked by an enemy in the way. You should be able to jump over them. It just doesn't feel good when you hang stalled in the air and then land in the same place you leapt from.

I like the wolf minions summoned by predator's mark, but they seem to die off too quickly.

I think there also aren't enough skill slots for druid. Should get an extra 2-4 with all the forms. Or maybe there aren't enough baseline.

I liked having Omen of Homogenizing, it made crafting more accessible to players like me. I think it should move to Atziri's temple, to give players something great to seek out there.

I like the Interludes pretty well, especially the Zarokh fight. But is a fifth act still coming?

After failing twice, I finally got my 3rd ascendancy in Trial of Sekhemas on my druid today, at level 79. This time I tried doing it as a range caster, without doing any damage in werewolf form. It was easy.

The honor system is incredibly biased against melee builds.
