Can i have Olroth + Delirium??? STOP NERFING AURA Last edited by Primaeus#8018 on Oct 26, 2025, 7:10:22 PM	Posted by Primaeus#8018 on Oct 26, 2025, 7:03:46 PM Quote this Post
IDK what exactly I was expecting from these bonus ascendancies, but this... was not it. I'm certainly no expert, but the vast majority of these look quite underwhelming, especially for the sorts of builds I tend to enjoy, or have an interest in. The potentially useful or interesting ones only seem potentially useful or interesting to a very select, even niche handful of possible builds or playstyles. And the rest are just... unattractive looking, or entirely irrelevant and ineffectual to a great many builds and playstyles. I don't really see much that would draw the interest of melee, casters, or bows, for instance. And on top of requiring already precious ascendancy points, thereby sacrificing primary ascendancy skills, and requiring unlocking through bossing, there's also a hefty amount of drawbacks built into these, too. IDK, feels bad, man... I was looking forward to seeing what these might offer, and what different possibilities they might be able to inspire. But as it is, it seems like it's a lot of missed opportunity.	Posted by Sinseer#1020 on Oct 26, 2025, 7:04:21 PM Quote this Post

Good build, huge damage, huge defences, what ascendancy could I pick for 2 points to make my builds stronger than a default Champ tree. 1. Olroth? Nah, this is Ward only. 2. Aul? Increase global def sounds huge, but with 1 point only I could pick Precusor's release that will grant me nothing. Maybe Charge duration + something from left side? Well, determination works with no endurance charges that I would like to have all the time and I haven't anger, so not that, exact the same for Grace+Hatred; Wrath+Discipline? No, that's too low for 2 points. 3. Catarina? I'm not a summoner, skip. 4. Delirious? Misty Reflection is a 100% useless trash nobody will use, Shizophrenic have too much drawback with non-cluster jewel socketed have no effect, so no legion jewel, no abyss jewel, no any other jewels. Manic Episodes? Sound strong with 60 more, but I'm not sure is it will work as I expected, what random debuff means, is it take random from massive 4% increased OR 2% reduced AS or it 4% increased + 2% reduce AC. How this will work. 5. Lycia? I haven't heralds, I'm have no chaos damage. So skip. 6. Farul? Again, I'm not a summoner. Probably, something from Livestream and official page? 7. Ultimatum? Feels like trash, probably, for the end of the league when you have BIS corrupted items? Let's say no, because only for 8 corrupted items you got something worth. BUT we have Maven flask which make this point a useless trash. 8. Harvest? I have Adrenaline from my Champion tree, so not worth it. 9. Ritual? +Ring slot kind of sick, but I need my amulet, I need my belt and I need my flasks, so it's to big drawback. So, from 9 Ascendancies I could pick only 2 and one from them only for the literally endgame when I have all my BIS items corrupted, so let's count I have only 1. Only 1 from 9 and it's not for free points. I should invest 2 points to get this 50/50 strange passive. Ngl this Ascendancies feels like being made not for POE1 but for POE2. I don't want to see such a drawback for "power creep" in Mark words for this 99% of trash. I don't want to see it in POE1, I'm not playing POE2 because the whole POE2 tree have stupid drawbacks no one want to see, leave this in POE2 Agreed on this dude. Im in same situation - wanna start on some melee/Slam/strike stuff on Jugg/Champ or Slayer - but noone of these Bloodlines is ok for melee/area/strike skills. They like completely ignored them and make those ascendancies primarily for Summons/Casters/Ward/Chaos damage and few utility ones.

Too niche. Too conditional. Too many downsides for something that already has a price (points coming out of regular Ascendancy points). C'mon, Affliction ascendancies were way better than this, AND THEY HAD THEIR OWN EIGHT POINTS.	Posted by Esubane#6099 on Oct 26, 2025, 7:09:59 PM Quote this Post
Wouldn't it be better if for every 2 points of ascendancy, there was 1 additional point of bloodlines? Ascendancies generally contain only positives, so why waste the same point on something that also has a downside. Surely some combinations will arise where it will turn out to be interesting, but in many cases, you won't want those bloodlines.	Posted by Callhunt#0859 on Oct 26, 2025, 7:12:40 PM Quote this Post
i could't find anything on these ascendacys that would get me exited. Thats a bummer Last edited by Rake7#7894 on Oct 26, 2025, 7:12:57 PM	Posted by Rake7#7894 on Oct 26, 2025, 7:12:46 PM Quote this Post
Unless we can have 10 points ascendancy points I don't see why it's worth investing points to those trees. Most of them is simply POE 2 style weak.	Posted by sx6944#6973 on Oct 26, 2025, 7:16:17 PM Quote this Post
