Less then 5% will play Witchhunter in 0.5, why to nerf more and make 1%?

Best decision ever to nerf one of most unpopular ascendancies ever. Maybe just delete it? Consult with this genius, he will like it. Last bumped on May 24, 2026, 12:50:49 AM

that 100%.
Probably implemented to push merc-lovers into new 0.5 gemling. |

" Do you think that new skill node worth investing? |

That's a humiliation of Witchhunter. It was already not the best ascendancy, but imagine spending 4 points to receive 50% less armor and evasion. Which other ascendancy has the same?
Better really to delete it from game because its a stupid joke. Don't play it. RIP Last edited by Leviathan_G#3970 on May 23, 2026, 9:53:07 AM

" i thought about that barrier node. Napkin math says - no, it's not too strong. But some good theorycrafter might correct me easily. we'll have to see |

The ascendancy will be reworked at some point anyway. No active skill, visually boring, gimmicky cull interaction. Just delete it and start from scratch.

" Not exactly the same but... Infernalists can reserve 25-75% of their life and burn themselves to death in multiple ways :D Pretty sure the 35% -> 50% change is to offset the +15% more armour/ev we're getting from items since sorcery ward scales off them. Please GGG, I need my sparkly crown MTX in PoE2.

" well, that's a nerf still. it was calculated in other thread. Old 100 evasion -> 65 evasion -> 19.5 SW New 115 evasion -> 57.5 evasion -> 17.25 SW |
|

And that's not only less ward, but less armor/evasion too at the end.
And what's the point now play witchhunter that and before was sub optimal without any great ascendancy nodes? Seems some genius wants all to play zoom zoom and decided to kill WH completely. Last edited by Leviathan_G#3970 on May 23, 2026, 3:22:46 PM

5% is pretty decent tbh. But yeah, nerf is pretty hefty
