also you get +2 normal passive points. thats really powerful.

i like this a lot. you do get quite a bit of gimped version of the other ascendancy classes, but combining them is really good plus normal passives

Just for the record, the minor nodes for the other Ascendancy classes are worth 2-3 skillpoints each. If you need what they bring you on the way to the major nodes you pick up, and mostly you will as they address the same gameplay mechanics as the major nodes they lead to, those minor nodes are much better than getting 1 free skill point.

lol wtf!

Mind = bent!

Anyone noticed the "almost certain nerf" to the Evasion & Life wheels xD ?

These wheels have just been narrowed, so it seems.
For there is now plenty of space near every start point except Scion's, I presume this was done for Ascendancy wheels to not overlap main skill tree (essentially, life, evasion and energy shield wheels).

Since it's no longer a wheel, what do we call it now? Life box?

I am very ready to play 7 link EK low life ES Deadeye\Elementalist in the new league.

Any start location is going to be real strong.

That part of it is the only thing that looks really strong. Given a build that benefits from starting in radically different locations without taking intermediate nodes to connect them, it may be possible to do awesome things...

The mini-ascendancies, however, look rather poor for most of them when comparing getting 2 of them to getting 2 2-pointers and 1 4-pointer, or a 2-pointer, 4-pointer, and 6-pointer from one of the specialized characters.

But let's see how it works out in practice.

Interresting and less op than letting us combine exactly what other classes have.

When is the last marauder class ?

The last marauder class, the Chieftain, was released last week. Here are the details:

This might turn out too good and become Path of Scion again, pretty sure it will be.
