Are ascendancies mandatory for endgame?
|
I picked Witch for my first character because I like the chaos/curses/minions gameplay. I got now to the first ascendancy and I don't like either option.
Blood Mage sounds very risky and Infernalist means I need to spec into elemental damage. Will I be able to progress through the game (endgame) without an ascendancy? Last bumped on Dec 22, 2024, 1:23:26 PM

Ascendancies usually provide a huge spike in Damage and Survivability for classes. I'm sure u can play endgame without one, but it's not advised and u will struggle eventually.

" How bad can it get? Where do you think I might encounter a roadblock? |

That's very hard to say and depends on each build specifically. I'd assume the campagin is fine, but like I said u might even struggle there.

" Oh well, I'll try it anyway. Both ascendancies look to me like getting crippled on purpose, or at the very least unfun gameplay. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Last edited by Praefator#6109 on Dec 21, 2024, 1:41:41 PM

Good luck in ur endevour. Hey if anything, it's some sort of testing aswell :D

" I got to 82 before doing 3rd ascendancy with no problems, and to 89 with still no 4th ascendancy. In their current form, the ascendancies are 100% optional unless you're going for pinnacle content, and I'm not even sure they're essential for that. Unlike POE1, they're nowhere near as crucial for progression. |

You could easily get to T15 maps without any ascendency pts.
When you reach late/real endgame where you have 8-12 mod maps instead of just alch and go t15's then ya, ascendency is going to be pretty much needed in most cases. |

Hard disagree, I'm juicing my maps as far as they'll go with only 3 of 4 trials completed.

6 points is a lot different than 0 points kid.
