Phrecia Ascendancies NEED TO GO CORE

Phrecia Ascendancies need to make their way into the core game. They bring an incredible amount of build diversity and open up so many exciting new possibilities. Yes, they introduce more complexity and pose a challenge for balance, and they may stray a bit from the established lore, but the depth/build diversity they offer is absolutely worth it.

I understand the current plan was to (eventually?) offer them as a private league option, but that risks splintering the player base. It’s almost guaranteed that someone will launch a massive private league at launch, pulling players away from the main league. While I’d still appreciate the private league template, it doesn’t offer the same long-term benefit to the game as fully integrating them into the core experience would.

if they were to go core, they'd need to be nerfed / buffed, and not replace the current options, only way i'd be ok with it
Idk about the whole package but definitely need Scion have more than just 1 option.

And Scavenger is one of the best designed Phercia ascendancies. It's better than actual Ascendant.
Event character is fun every once in a while but we don't need all that stuff go core imo. Also, they are hilariously imbalanced.

Since those ascendancies are kind of popular it would be a smart move from GGG to go for another phrecia event at some point. (Maybe in softcore so the sissies don't feel excluded ;P )
Two words: Bog Shaman.
Never forget the Alt Qual Gem deletion, the Ex > Div swap and loss of various crafting methods.

Revive Metamorph/Crucible. Refine Sentinel/Kalandra content. Bring back legacy modifiers/values.

Where's my EShroud buff?
We don't need this to go core, actually. I don't think you understand what you want and what you will get if they give it to us.

I'm tired of all the massive global nerfs they've done over the years, and I don't want GGG to drop another nuke to account for the insane power creep.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

Gotta agree with you on this one. This is one of those "You think you do, but you don't" moments if I've ever seen one. Phrecia is fine for events, or limited time private leagues but that's the extend of it.

They have no place in the core game. For good reasons.
