[Suggestion] Duelist Class - Consider Pirate Ascendancy "Plunder for Gold, Gamble for Glory"
|
Jonathan mentioned PoE2 is going to have Swords before it's officially released. As Swords belong to unannounced Duelist class, it would be cool to see a Pirate Ascendancy.
The Pirate has a trusty Parrot Companion marking "High Value Targets," dual-weapon synergy of Swords & Crossbows, Plunder corpses for additional gold, Gambling perks, Sea Legs where you're immune to slowing effects, etc. For example, below are a few ideas for plundering and gambling nodes (needs to be balanced obviously). Pirate Ascendancy Nodes: Plundered Treasure Effect: 10% chance on Kill to Plunder a corpse, dropping an additional Gold stack. Rare and Unique monsters drop 15% more Gold. Grants 50% increased Gold Pickup Radius. Black Market Buccaneer Effect: 20% reduced Gold cost for Gambling. Killing a Unique monster grants 1 additional Gambling Credit (Campaign) or a 5% chance to Refund Gold Cost on next Gamble (Endgame).

I like it, and to balance out the gambling bonuses a penalty to base int/str and lower poison(chaos) resistance on account of the syphilis and scurvy.

I think this is a great idea for a skin.
Also a vampire slayer skin for mercenary would be cool.  The skins are too expensive though, its crazy x) Last edited by TwitchGLHFsport#2155 on Mar 10, 2026, 5:37:29 PM

" If it was a skin they could make sipping from flask like eating an orange, similar to Gangplank, but that would be too similar of a knock off. After all GGGs step sister is League of Legends ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Last edited by TwitchGLHFsport#2155 on Mar 10, 2026, 10:41:10 PM

GGG could even add a "Peg Leg MTX" for the Pirate! I'm sure it would sell quite well.

" Agreed, think a pirate ascendancy would be a great addition to the game and would have a very unique flavor. Last edited by CharlesJT#7681 on Mar 12, 2026, 8:11:31 AM
