Woot Woot!! Congratulations!
I'm watching/listening the vid as I am typing this.

With the traps; I learnt certain traps do damage by a certain percentage of your health; not at a fixed value; ie 50% of your life per second; 20% of your life etc. So in the Trial of Swirling Fear, it contains spinning blade traps; they deal damage at 50% of your life per second; which is why your health regen didn't seem to keep you up.

Oh bugger; let me turn the volume down; you just finished talking and I had the volume up but now you're in the lab. Eeek; just saw that first hurt during the first Izaro fight. Eek; just saw the one in the 3rd fight but CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Very Exciting!!!

LOL bane-ing the door

I couldn't find the last trial on my last toon. Had been waiting to find it for a long time so i can remove the points for the second curse to use for more health/defense nodes. Good on you for going for it when you came across it. Now you've ASCENDED!!! Woot Woot!!

I had to give up Hex Master too; would have loved that but needed the points elsewhere. Also getting only one point every level at endgame felt so slow lol; i did a couple of respecs after certain levels once I had enough to reach a particular bigger node. Made me miss the quests that gave free points as rewards.
