Pathfinder is truly dead.

With the the most recent changes to the Pathfinder ascendancy I am 100% sure that this class is totally dead.

Previously we had some nice movement and attack speed during any flask effect, it was some nice mobility and DPS, now it's gone for 3 charges every 3 seconds, is that truly worth a ascendancy slot? And is it even worth the replacement? Absolutely not IMO, it should have stayed where it belonged with Nature's boon, it absolutely ain't worth it at all, massive downgrade.

Nature's reprisal was the real DPS boost from the ascendancy, chaos AOE effect, more chaos damage and conversion, now it's simply whitered, I am not saying whiter isn't good, but why not simply add this as another option other than totally removing the real DPS boost of the ascendancy? and only 2 seconds??? 5+ would have been actually alright but this truly doesn't replace the sweet DPS boost of the previous nature's reprisal, a true downgrade.

Master surgeon is a nice little rework, no complain here but keeping the previous effect of corrupted blood would have made it better, slight downgrade.

Nature's boon wasn't the best but it helped to keep charges and made flasks better, now it's only flasks effect, it should have remained how it used to be, downgrade.

Master Alchemist and Veteran bower I have no oppinion, I never used it.

The Ascendancy lost nearly all it's strength, the only good thing about it is the fact master toxicist hasn't been changed, still the only good passive of the ascendancy.

This rework simply killed the Pathfinder and it should honestly be totally reverted how it used to be.

are you fucking serious dude? It's one of the most OP ascendancies right now.

Master surgeon + petrified blood is so OP, gonna get even more disgusting with progenesis.

You'd rather have 20% attk/movespeed that you can get through dozens of other means?

Just wait & watch, there's gonna be so many crazy PF builds this league. A lot of people have overlooked the power of that node, but its gonna be discovered soon.

A small example - when life flask is up, you can sustain RF with 0 life regen & no max res. Not even ruby flask required.

Of course, RF is not the best build for the right side of the tree, but its a free 40% more spell damage. Normally it takes a huge amount of life regen on tree/gear + max res to do something like this.

I bet once I get my hand on the adrenaline boots, I can sustain the 10k degen/sec with some gear changes and get perma adrenaline. And this is with shitty day 3 gear. Normally you need mageblood + 85-90 max res to do that, which needs much much higher investment.

Not because it's busted for 1 build it means it's OP for everything else, in my personal opinion this ascendancy has been downgraded overall which is a real shame since it always been one of the least interesting/good ones of the ranger and i feels even worse now.

Ah yes genius poe design, remove baseline power and scale a weird stat.

First off master surgeon shouldn't have less recovery as a trade off. Ascendancies shouldn't have a trade off in general. Definitely easy to get 5k regen as is though. It should come with like 100% more flash duration or something.

Wither is nice, but you need hit abilities to trigger it so no chaos dot.

3 charges needs to be like 7-10 considering it used to be 3 and a whole lot of other stuff.

I think the most interesting is the node that gives ele pen, phys as extra chaos, and crit. Some weird build could use it.
