I could not even imagine to see a more broken class than Ranger Path Finder will be in Acendancy. If it wasn't broken enough already getting 16% flask effect duration and 15% flask effectiveness for taking traveling points (basically free!) is just ridiculous. Even if they remove all flask nodes from the tree there are still belt modifiers - keep that in mind. Tricksters travel points 8%ES+8%EV+4% attack/cast speed seem a bit over the top considering normal nodes on the passive tree - they are equal to a really good 3 stat jewel. Hierophant really pushes the MoM theme even further it seems - 60% extra mana regen is really nice to get in general for mana based characters. The 40% totem placement speed combined with totem passives seem really strong. Berserker: much attack speed, much damage, much boom boom :D - nothing more really. I really like that it is written "physical damage with attacks" so that stuff like spectral throw and molten strike and bow/wand skills could fully benefit from it. Elementalist travel points are mostly generic except the 30% increased elemental status aliment duration which could be really strong in the right build (perma freeze anyone?)

Tree Influence * Witch - Best class specializing in ONE element. - Heart of Flame cluster - Heart of Thunder cluster - Heart of Ice cluster - Fire/Lightning/Frost walker clusters * Templar - Best classed for MIXED elemental damage. - Celestial Judgement node - Celestial Punishment node - Elementalist node II. Sub-class Problems * Witch - Elementalist class - Mastermind of Discord - Promotes mixed elemental casting, while witch tree promotes elemental specialization. See the problem? - All nodes on this witch ascendancy class tree should promote and reward maximizing ONE element. * Templar - Inquisitor class - Inevitable Judgement - Promotes critical strikes with any element, and completely ignores elemental resistance, while the witch node reduces by only 20% ONLY IF used in conjunction with MIXED elemental casting! BIG PROBLEM... - Why would a hybrid class (Templar) have a stronger elemental node, which is also crit based, than the primary elemental caster class (Witch) - The witch nodes should be THE BEST ELEMENTAL CASTER NODES. III. Solution Suggestions - Swap Mastermind of Discord and Inevitable Judgement - Consider adding a stacking damage buff the more a caster uses a spell of the SAME element. - Consider adding bonuses to cast speed. - Consider adding AE bonuses to spells casted. - Consider adding ELEMENTAL LEECH in this class, since a lot of builds in this class type are glass cannon, this would utilize the high damage for added survivability. - Paragon of Calamity is much too build specific and will hardly be taken. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, PLEASE CONSIDER MY ARGUMENT!!!!!!! Beside the fact, that I can comprehend some of thesearguments, is the marked one wrong. In many cases 20% Resistance penetration is stronger than igrnoring them. With these 20% penetration and some other Penetration sources it is possible in many cases to get the enemy below 0% resistance, so that it take MORE dmg. With ignoring the resistances you can't do this because the enemy has alwasy 0%	Posted by SkoDo_ on Feb 9, 2016, 6:27:17 AM Quote this Post
No Ascendancy Class for chaos damage? :(	Posted by PopeJo on Feb 9, 2016, 6:35:33 AM Quote this Post
" PopeJo wrote: No Ascendancy Class for chaos damage? :( Well the Trickster has some Damage Over Time nodes. I'm guessing the third witch ascendancy could be chaos themed, going by the artwork.	Posted by Extreme_Boyheat on Feb 9, 2016, 6:49:50 AM Quote this Post

Ascendancy seems cool, but some achievemens will be useless to get, like the one with 3 totems at once or get 12 charges at same time.	Posted by Qwatayean on Feb 9, 2016, 7:11:44 AM Quote this Post

Some of these seems lackluster and kinda boring, nothing special. Also why the KILL X GET Y FOR Z? Its considered cool and engaging? No, its not - its a permament buff and a gimp when fighting bosses.	Posted by Shival on Feb 9, 2016, 7:39:11 AM Quote this Post
