Is it normal to take 400 honour damage on every hit in the trial of time?

I'm trying to get my 4th ascendancy point and I ran into an unexplainable wall in the trial of time.

1st time I went there yesterday I ran into a Chalice trial where two monsters where next to each other that had:
1. Monsters regerate life and some other stuff
2. Haste aura and proximal tangibility

There were also 3 of those auto homing pot guys so I lost all my honour to this pack. I was a bit salty but I put it up to just bad luck and it didn't seem like I was dying faster than usual or anything.

I decided to try again today and ran into something that I don't think has ever happened to me before. I had 78% honour resistance (I had +3% to max cap) and when I got to the trial of time EVERY hit was costing me around 400 honour, including any small ranged attacks. Is this normal? That seems like an absurd amount to me since I had just around 4k honour so I lost in about 10 hits.

I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing that could explain the massive honour hits or if I should go back to doing trials of chaos instead lol.
