Point of Trials?
Parsifal
✭✭
To start off, trials are my favorite thing to do in the game and I really enjoy working together in a group to try and conquer the challenge. With that said, that's really the only thing I get out of it is the experience and the ability to say "Good job, we did it!".
I was looking at the gear that drops in the new trial, and while they aren't bad, it's nothing that really makes me jump for joy. I'm a healing templar, and the magicka-based DPS set looks like it's probably on-par with the existing crafted ones like Julianos or Scathing Mage, if not weaker since it alternates between regen and spell damage. The healing set looks a bit more interesting, since with purifying ritual it can give everyone in a group the chance to boost their dps and get some passive heals, but it feels kind of lackluster compared to crafted sets as well (although I would consider using it if I managed to get it). It's felt the same with all of the previous trials: with the exception of the Aether gear way back when, there really haven't been any drops from trials that I even wanted, and most simply end up getting broken down for crafting mats.
Does anyone else feel like the rewards are a bit lackluster? Even if they don't add stronger gear to the rewards list, I would really like to see something - it could be mementos (the collectables that do unique emotes when used), costumes, mounts, or in the future, housing items. I just think that if you spend hours upon hours training with a group of players to beat the hardest challenge in the game, it would be nice to have something more than bragging rights and the satisfaction of completing it.

✭✭✭✭✭Sadly, there are a good number of forum threads on this topic already ... including many player requests to update the trial rewards to V16.4 -

✭They need to make a better, understandable path of gearing to dungeons then to trials. And then scale/update old content to what new content they release.
Otherwise the point of trials right now is to shut up whatever raiding PvE guilds are still present.1 -

✭✭The Trial rewards were good many patches ago but they no longer fit in to the metagame, possibly if they were VR16 some sets would be used.
Veteran Ranks are being removed soon (April, May or June) so I guess we can hope that when that happens the Trials sets become usable again. If not then yes a collectible would be good, such as the Dro-M'Athra skin from Veteran Maw of Lorkhaj.0 -
Lenikus✭✭✭✭✭Trials are for bragging rights.
They try to make it give fancy items and such, but i don't see any of those being the 'meta build' or something so yea... you only do trials or or some dungeons once for the achievements that sometimes have pretty colors... Mai cave. >:30
