The nerfs and buffs to your acendancy - without dl'ing the thingie

Deadeye Precision (attack projectiles return to you after hitting), Rupture (moving while bleeding doesn't cause you to take extra dmg, 80% chance to crit bleeding enemies)
Slayer Brutal (immune to stun/bleed while leeching - hello CI melee), Bane (kill enemies who are on 20% life or lower on hit; will uniques be immune?), Headsman (50% reduced phys ref dmg taken, 20% more dmg + 20% inc aoe if kill recently)

Guardian Time of Need (removal and regen every 5s, and 25% reduced effect of curses - huge buff); Prayer (warcries cost no mana), Bastion (50% add block chance for 1s every 5s)

No way Champion got nerfed with how stronk Taunt is. Went from 24% reduced damage taken (4% from fortify effect) to 26% reduced damage taken + 1% life regen every 4 seconds along with even more DPS. Kinda stinks with losing 10% movement speed, but 18% movement speed was already excessive.


I would put Champion between the potential and buffed tier.




Edit: Overall, thanks for compiling this up and writing a brief summary of the changes from the ascendancy tree.

They might have been hesitant to write "and then we doubled it"

:/

The Pathfinder Node Bowyer, is that a new one or a rework as I can't seem to find it on the ascendancy wheel at all : P
