Unlocking the Bloodline Ascendancies is problematic for people that just want to build around them.

That’s quite an interesting claim. So, you’re saying you’ll sell your final rooms for a divine, but also that your friend’s going to carry you through the last one for free? I don’t know, sounds a bit like you’re not really selling anything after all.

What I said is I'd ask my friend to carry me if I ever made a build that uses Lycia ascendancy, and that herald-stacking one looks juicy so I might copy-paste it if it isn't nerfed by the end of week 1 lol

I can farm Sanctum all day on my current build, I've gotten lvl100 from it twice now. Which is why I can and will carry Lycia for people. Either for free and getting some tips here and there, or for 1-2 divs or whatever the price is. The bosses literally die in 2 seconds and don't get to do any mechanics, that's why I was also able to do Black Knight 100% of the time without dying, cus he got insta-phased. Its also why I was able to carry the 2 challenges to not get hit by his abilities for 5 other people in a full party over and over during Settlers. He still died in 2 seconds when everyone entered the arena on the last phase and buffed his hp. I also shared Catarina kills for free.

That's what kept me playing for a few extra days that league, the enjoyment of sharing boss carries with people. So I'll do exactly the same this one and find the niche bosses that I can melt and carry for people.

If the node is truly that overpowered, it may or may not spawn a new meta build. And if it does become a meta-tier standard, it would likely be accessible to only a small fraction of the player base, perhaps a mere 5%, right?

That's cool and all, but that's literally like less than 5% of players that are rich enough to copy paste a meta build

My build is fine the way it is lol, and I'm not about to spend weeks farming divines to copy some overpriced meta build

Not everyone has hundreds of divines to spend on some meta build with mageblood

That said, if you’re able to farm Sanctum with one character, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to do the same with another. By the time you reach Sanctum on your new character, you’ll already have a solid build and a thorough understanding of the content, putting you in an excellent position to tackle it efficiently, even if Herald ends up being the “build-enabling” node.

The only truly problematic one i can see being an issue would be trialmaster or aul. as they cant just be bought with 0 progression. I guess farrul could be an issue if you have never found him before. Idk if beasts still work that way though
