The new Ascendancy classes seem kind of bland compared to the others

Guys sry that i have to be the one that ruins your fun and excitement for the Berserker a little bit.

First: Dropping your ES by 20% of its maximum doesn't count as savage hit - a savage hit can only be scored by depleting 20% of maximum life - so no CI shinanigans possible here, sry.

Second: 100% life leech isn't as crazy as it sounds. 100% life leech just means that you reach your life leech cap (20% of your maximum HP) instantly - nothing you can't already do since 2.0. With instant leech mechanics like Vaal Pact/Vinktars/Acuity this is really strong but without you need leech rate scaling to make it very good - without any scaling it isn't that OP.

Third: 20% increased damage isn't much - it is 1-2 passive points or 1 medicore jewel. 20% attack speed is really good on the other hand - but oneslaught can do this too without penaltys.


On kill effects won't do anything in situations where it really mathers (tough boss fights without weaker mobs beside it)

The real outstanding stuff in this tree is probably Crave of Slaughter and maybe the Warcry enhancement if you ask me. 10% increased damage taken is a harsh debuff and probably nothing you wanna take in HC for example, maybe i am wrong here but we will see.




New Templar class seems interesting but don't seem that OP at all (maybe 2 totems + your character dealing damage at the same time could be OP - it has been the reason in the past why they nerfed ancestral bond). Conviction of Power seems really good with a PCoc setup and illuminated Devotion could lead to some interesting gem setups which i really like.

Divine guidence seems that GGG really wants to push MoM builds - the notable is good, don't get me wrong here, but it does nothing what isn't already possible - it makes it only more accessable. MoM, if used properly, is really strong since Sacrifice of the Vaal expansion - maybe more people will build around it with this class. Sanctuary of Thought is really strong for CI builds - especially with Pledge of Hands - this node gives you basicaly a free 300ES shield while using that staff - really strong imho.


The ranger Pathfinder class compared with most flask nodes on the tree + a good belt with flask affixes compared with a fast hitting crit build seems so broken and OP - i can't even imagine.

Any build that could make use of crit Cyclone or a 40-50 stack Blade Vortex or even a heavily attack speed focused Reaver, Doublestriker, Moltenstriker, Split Arrow with chain or simply any CoC character will have infinite flasks - and infinite unique flask uptime!

Permanent Taste of Hate with permanent Rumi's Concauction with permanent Vinktars is so stupidly broken it isn't even funny.


They literaly have to remove/nerf the increased flask charges gained modifiers in ranger to counteract this class alone a little bit :-/
