Honour mechanic is awful

whole point of the game is to gear your character up to be survivable and the honor mechanic completely invalidates it especially when you get something like a 40% damage nerf modifier just too unforgiving an unfun. On top of that its blocked my ascendancy behind it and now I just have to wait for another trial coin to drop completely ruins motivation to play game.

what's honour in POE2?

Don't pick debuffs that are bad for your character.

Get honor resistance from relics.

It's not that bad. Plus if you're having a hard time you can just do trials of chaos instead.
