Just how powerful are you supposed to be to get that 4th Ascendancy?

I'm lv 82 with decent gear, max resists etc, and I kill most map bosses in a matter of seconds (unless they go into invulnerable phases). But I'm still not strong enough to get my 4th Ascendancy. 10 Ultimatum debuffs make it way too hard (although I might get lucky one day and avoid the worst ones). And the monsters on the 4th floor of Sanctum absolutely destroy me even when I don't have any afflictions that increase monster damage.

Is this stuff overtuned, or what?



The thing is, unless you play a meta build with millions of dps already, the 4th boss is gonna be a wall anyways. He has like 50 times more HP then the 3td floor. Its literally an uber boss.


The ultimatum boss actually isn't that bad, his moves are very telegraphed

I'll keep recommending ultimatums. If I can do it on SSF with non-meta chaos dot build (I destroy +3 map bosses in high tier maps in about a minute, not seconds) and 2.1k life instead of 15k ES, anybody should be able to do it.

Sanctum is for extermely skilled players on meta build. It's great that you can get points there earlier (less levels for point 3, only one key for point 4), but you can easily fail it even on the top build.

For many other builds it's strait up torture past floor two, and it's great that GGG made an alternative way to ascend.

One last thing I forgot. You should take movement skill as sometimes there is a bugged elevator on the stage (from my experience it's about 1 in 30 to 50 rooms).

It's really annoying and definitely should be fixed, but for now you can workarond it with ex. Blink.

No need to slot it immediately, just keep it in the inventory and if there is an elevator bug - equip it, blink to the top, and unequip it.

If you otherwise don't use it, just second weaponset blink/curses especially worth it if you are close enough to the curse nodes to pick em up with weapon skill points
