[Suggestion] Blood Mage + Spears – Let’s Make It Bloody!

Hey GGG Team! 👋

First of all, huge respect for what you’re doing with Path of Exile 2. I’ve been loving the direction of the game so far, especially the Blood Mage ascendancy — it’s dark, thematic, and offers fresh gameplay possibilities.

That said, I had a vision for a Blood Mage using spears, inspired by the idea of a ritualistic, visceral warrior-mage hybrid. Think Scarlet from Mortal Kombat — conjuring blood spears from the ground, exploding enemies from within, draining their essence. But when I tried it in PoE2… there was almost no synergy between Blood Mage and spear skills.

⸻

🩸 What I expected:
• Spears made of blood, or enhanced by blood effects.
• Skills that scale with or interact with Bleed and Blood Mage passives.
• Visually bloody and thematic spear skills.
• Maybe a “Blood Field” skill — a trap or AOE zone where blood spears erupt.
• Or a mechanic where Bleeding enemies empower your spear attacks.

⸻

🧠 Why this matters:
• It fits the Blood Mage fantasy perfectly.
• Adds variety and creativity to spear-based builds.
• Gives players a new archetype: the bloodthirsty spear mage.
• Adds strong visual identity — something PoE 2 does really well already.

⸻

🙏 Please consider:

Adding at least 1-2 bleed-based or blood-themed spear skills to help bridge the gap between Blood Mage and spear mechanics. Even a visual MTX-style effect for spears dripping blood would be a great step toward fantasy fulfillment.

Thanks again for your amazing work — and for giving us a world where we can be beautifully brutal. 🩸⚔️
