POE 2 ascendancy respec

Hey GGG, please allow for POE 2 ascendancy respec.

It doesn't make sense / will not be fun for players of a new game getting trapped into an ascendancy if they want to try another one within the same class.


Many players know which class they want to play but will not be sure of which ascendancy until we learn more about POE2 and start see how the items combine with skills and trees etc..

It will feel really lame if we are withholding ascending while we learn more about strategy combinations in fear of getting trapped into the wrong one.


Love your work! POE2 looks amazing!

I actually disagree with you on this one.
Your ascendancy IS your class, the base class is just a starting point. LE had the right idea by making it permanent.
It will be like asking to switch from a marauder to a ranger trough an ultimatum run.
It's a good change in my opinion, making the ascendancy permanent. There is no wrong choice in terms of ascendancy, all have power, it comes down to how you use it.

the campaign will get old real fast like this. its peoples first playthrough. why cant we test out what we like without having to start the campaign all over?

There's a lot of weird gatekeeping out of strange pride on this topic.

What's so bad about respeccing an ascendancy? If you are worried about constant swapping, make it not so easy then. And if it's not such a big deal... then why limit respeccing?

I agree that it should be able to respec, just like how it did in PoE1. Otherwise, it's a literal downgrade.

I can understand it not being in EA because... it's EA.


Honestly, it should just be like PoE1.

hahaha good one.

We don’t know but based on last poe1 league which was a test of gold etc coming in poe2, you can respec points on the tree for gold and more than likely the ascendancy as well (although you might have to run ‘trial’ again to do the actual base ascendancy change and then be able to spend all the points you’d earned to that point)

Funny thing is: the easiest part of rebuilding a character is probably the leveling lol. Trading for or crafting new items etc. takes way longer in my experience.

Have you guys never played an early access game before or something?

All we know is that it isn't in the release version of Early Access, which is, and it's incredible that I even have to remind people of this, an unfinished game. We literally do not know if this will be a thing at some point.

The developers say they expect feedback, same with undoing the ascendary so people just say what they think, we don't know if it will stay or not but the developers also won't be sure if players will keep quiet instead of helping to improve the game

In my opinion it's also unnecessary to block the possibility to undo the ascendary now while it's early access it's ok because people will create 3 times the same characters with different ascendary then it will take them longer to check the game, but in the future when there will be a league then besides creating a couple of characters for each league I will have to create 3 warriors in addition to other characters to check some build, in total I will go through the campaign up to 12 times, in poe 1 I can undo it so I don't have to create so many characters simply, that's why it's bad for players like me but of course I understand why it's done I'm just expressing my subjective opinion

and just as I refrain from commenting on things I haven't checked out because poe 2 isn't here yet, here I give the obvious reasons why it won't suit everyone and I'm curious to see how the community feels about it

I actually hope the ascendancy being permanent stays. As I mentioned earlier, your ascendancy is your actual class. It makes the ascendancy choice carry a lot more weight. And seeing how OP Witch Hunter is, I expect the same level of power from the others as well, we just don't have all the nodes, maybe the most powerful ones are yet to be revealed and there will be something busted on all ascendancies.
