Man i wanna play witch-hunter but I'm so afraid of being Squishy now that there's a lot more reason to NOT die.

I'll probably take Culling Strike, Decimating Strike, Witchbane, and Zealous Inquisition for general mapping. Then when Pinnacle Boss comes around, switch Zealous Inquisition for No Mercy.

how many ascendancy points do we get during campaing?

Where was this shown?

Decimating Strikes was exactly what I thought. It's the same as Culling but it's 5-30% and not 5-20%. Bosses will drop 5% instantly, then with Culling it'll die instantly at 5%.

Was it shown what exactly sorcery ward does?

I think the Merc will be a super strong class. The Gemling Leigionaire looks to me like you could use it with damn near any build and it will improve it.

really disappointed that decimating strike moved more up, surprisingly not a lot of comment about it!

Having culling strike on all skills, will make them all 7 links.

Will Warrior be able to have viable sword and shield build?

Witchbane + chill + temp chains seems potent

Culling strike means monsters in map clear faster! With full life knock could easily average out to -50% health for map mobs.

Nice video man, a lot of the ascendency nodes seem very interesting ,it's a shame since we won't be able to respec them that we won't be able to experiment with them as much, hopefully they change their mind and let us respec ascendency points like in POE1.

Decimating strike is actually stronger than 17.5% more damage because it's calculated differently, as an example if you removed 50% of the target's hp that would be doubling your dmg, not 50% more dmg. It's hard to get the exact average cause it's not a linear formula but it goes from 5.55% more damage at minimum (0.95/0.9 because we can assume you have culling strike) and 46.15% at maximum (0.95/0.65). Average should be around 23.66% more damage multiplier.

What happens with concerntration buff once you get it to 0? You keep attacking but it's at 0 so they're not losing concentration and as stated in the node "Enemies regain 10% of Concentration every second if they haven't lost concentration in the past 5 seconds" meaning the no mercy more damage is smaller than we all thought at first. Not that big of a deal but kinda is too... what do you think? Please let me know.

mercenary or sorceress :/ i cant decide

Culling strike on its own maybe not that great with the changes to how it has diminishing returns on enemies based on rarity, but either way Culling strike + Decimating strike is so much free damage

bro, mercenaries are getting everything, I want to know what the fuck is going on with the monk so I go that instead of sorc

Im starting with this for sure

For anyone thinking about commenting on it, no it does not give you 20 passive points. We know this for 2 reasons. 1. It would be broken (obviously) 2. weapon set passive points *also* uses normal passive points, the node grants weapon set passive points, but not normal passive points. Your normal skill points don't change. You can gain weapon set passive points without converting. Basically it "grants" you more chances to specialize your weapons more.

Not so sure about slamming culling strike so much. I reckon there's more to it than what we know currently.

I’m really excited for the explodes tbh

where did you get this from ?

What points seem best after first ascendancy? Weapon points look nice to power up the combo play style. Could also take culling strike for mapping or the concentration nodes.

Witchhunter is one of the 2 classes I'm deciding on for poe2, it certainly looks rather strong and I'm now definitely leaning towards this ascendancy after the reveal, hopefully we get all ascendancies revealed before launch. Either way witchhunter is looking really good. EDIT: Updated wording on Weapon Master: i.imgur.com/EQZmheH.png Streaming: www.twitch.tv/fubgun

The respecing for bosses seems annoying but this ascendancy seems really good and I can't wait to play it

isnt 35% dmg to low life enemies crazy on small node?

merc

There was a Culling Strike threshold notable on the tree

Also take note, skills granted from the tree (note: sorcery ward) are supportable. You can socket support gems in them.

I don't know about the weapon master converting points bro. The way I read it "grant" usually means straight up given on top. If it was regular points converted into swappable I'm pretty sure they'd make it explicitely clear. This would be absolutely OP for sure. But if you look at the Legionnaire, his Max res node and extra gem slots are also busted out of this world, so 20 extra skill point almost seems in the same vein edit: I could be wrong about what "weapon skill set point" means though I had always assumed they'd be extra points when you get them but maybe obtaining them only grants the ability to make points swappable in the first place. That would be more reasonable now that I think about it edit 2: no it can't be that way. "Weapon set points" have to be extra. Otherwise that still means you have to spread yourself thinner by splitting between sets and you still get (almost) the same result as poe 1 jack of all trade but master of none, which is no good.

Where can i find all adcendancys

remember that you can only use 1cull support gem total so cull on all skills might be bigger then first thought

Hey guys 👀

I think just based on my perspective, you take weapon master, witchbane, no mercy, and zealous inquisition. These 4 seem to be the standout best 4 combo for me as of now.

GCP's are also still in the game btw

Chance orbs are still in bud

wtf they did to my tornado shot im done i quit

any ideas as of what skills to use as the monk acolyte class? MoM with the instant mana leach ascendancy note and mana leach also effects your energy shield recharge note seems kind of broken.

TS Go BRRR cant wait to play it!

aaaaand pre release nerf is coming

If you go back to 3:47 in your video it very clearly says "Requires: Bow". Presumably this is on every skill description.

Stop making conjectures of damage based on a demo trailer that you can't even see the gear on a game we haven't even tried, thanks. Mechanic assumptions seem ok.

Cluster ignite granade or poison with tornado shot and witch hunter class to have culling strike and big first hit to hit massive dmg over time

So Tornado Shot = Tornado. Got it.

same clumsy casino shit as before, but worse, now rerolling a rare will be 50c instead of 10 tries at 5 mods you might like. and it will be sequential, so when your fav mod poofs, you start ALL over. this company continues to dissapoint. when so much of the gaming world is being forced to move AWAY from gambling, they're doubling down. ugh. im still not playing poe 2. wtf

No more 1 buttons builds :(

yeah imma stick to off meta. poe2 is waaay too pretty to play on a slideshow
