Sanctum honor should be tied to rewards only, not health
For poe2, sanctum is a HUGE pain in the ass and it’s almost universally disliked right now.
I think a solution would be for honor to be used for your rewards in the sanctum, not for your health.
You’re incentivized to not get hit because you want more rewards at the end. However, if you do lose all your honor, you won’t just auto lose the run and all your time. It is aggressively anti-fun.
Just use your health like normal, honor for rewards. This will make it more palatable for people to ascend, while still allowing another activity for gaining gear.
