gameinformer reveals the new Witch Ascendancy Class: The Occultist

Just release the Scion subclass already, dammit. :p

what?



. . .

malediction and profane bloom work with blasphemy?

if yes ... o.O

Btw occultist just entered in my top 5 with assassin hieropant inquisitor and one of the ranger class

I got the error message about my location too. Isn't there any competent gaming news site left out there to post announcements to? I hope GGG feel as embarrassed as me about this situation, so they don't cooperate with this site any more.

Hepta curse build, love it

This class is nice. It has 75% of the stats i wanted for witch. Forbidden Power=Power Charges, Wicked Ward=ES and Vile Bastion=Stun avoidance, but not in the way i wanted it.
I hoped for a good stune avoidance like stun immune or stun is based on ES, because CI/LL is hard to play, because of stuns.

Most options to avoid stuns are bad:
eye of chayula=stun immune, but nothing more and a precious slot wasted
Lioneye's Paws=only for LL and makes you super slow(only usefull with whirling blades)
Unwavering Stance=to far away
Kaom's Roots=slow and all stats wasted
up to 70% Stun avoidance while casting from tree is to conditional and you can still get stunlocked

Only Skyforth is a god like option, but super expensive, because of that...

Stun immune on full ES from Vile Bastion is stupid. You still can get stunlocked easily, if you get attacked by a lot of fast hitter. I would even trade the ES regen from Vile Bastion to get something like stun is based on 65% of your ES...

Vile Bastion, so OP.

Looking forward to make a Bastion/Bloom build.

Offering 1 ex for Skyforth in TSC.

Nice announcement GGG. Hope you never announce anything on that site again. Can't open the announcement page for the class I was looking forward the most.
