Path of Exile: Keepers of The Flame - Bloodline Ascendancy Classes

Melee Ascendancy? Tank Ascendancy? Bow? Totems? Maybe minions working for Dominating blow, you know that Guardian ascendancy that does nothing?

Considering we have to give up 2 points from our regular Ascendency, they are kinda weak and so many of them seem to favor Minions, where are the Bow, Caster or Melee alternatives ?
Maybe make them stronger but you can only invest 4 points at max or 2 ?

what do you mean. I play minions but im not gonna spend any ascendancy point on these lol its too underwhelming

Any chance Holy Relic will get some love from those ascendencies? Apparently one of those minions that got nothing. Lost opportunity to do something unique this league tbh, like extra CDR could be nice. Or a paladin minion, most are kinda dark and twisted :P

Are you joking? Umbral Army from Catarina is amazing for Holy Relic, I was running 20 SRS 10 Zombies, 4 Spectres, which would get such a buff

This is what happens when developers stop playing their game.

Even if it will be for free - 90% of that feels like s***t. Hope devs will make those 2 points Ascendancy for free or make some changes in 4 days before league start. It just don't worth 2 points. I don't know about what power creep Mark is was talking about on a live stream.

WILL BE ABLE TO RESPEC GGG? PLEASE SAY YES

for sure... everyone thinks this is a free extra 2 ascendancy points, but it isnt. they need to really incentivize the use, like converting 2 normal ascendancy points into 4 bloodline points. that would be the minimum case where there would be slight power creep. Otherwise these nodes are throw away except for some niche areas rife for abuse. Like the ward stuff.

most of these nodes are lackluster except for ways to maybe abuse a very select number of builds the devs had in mind.

The lycia nodes for cursing is hilariously bad for 2 ascendancy points. 20% increase effect of curses on the normal tree is 3 points. 20% increase effect of curses conditionally on the blood line tree plus some chaotic might which wont help the majority of builds? 2 ascendancy points. What a joke.

GGG devs: If you want a bandaid solve, take the intrinsic values of all the bloodline modifiers, and multiply by a factor of 3.

At first, after reading the ascendancies I though I'm missing some kind of amazing insight but after reading all the comments here; it's just shit isn't it? Damn. I feel a bit sad now.

Hope these get more nodes or buffs before launch. I'll be honest, I won't use any of these. I would really like to interact with this fancy new system but they're too niche and/or underwhelming.
