ZiggyD Reveals the Scion Ascendancy Class: The Ascendant

No info about it?
Just a shitty vid from a streamer?
Wow.

GGG, are you fucking crazy? who wanna play other character?

where is balance? i can't believe this :(

Scion master race.

Meh. Not impressed. Was hoping for way more. All of the other classes seem incredibly overpowered. The Scion admittedly gets a ton of flexibility, but none of the raw power that the other classes get. Tree jumping may be cool, but still no raw power out of the other ascendants' keystones. My main character is a lvl 96 Scion. I'd rather reroll a Beserker from level 1 than play the Ascendant class at 96. Pretty bummed.

Goodness Ziggy did something really right to have so many jealous people running after him.

I don't think Scion is in any way op, unless you can really make use of some kind of combo between classes. If you don't Scion is weaker in any possible way and the leap start point on the tree sounds nice, but you give up so much on the ascendency tree to trade for some more skillpoints on the regular tree that it is hardly worth it, especially with only 6 ascendency points and the strength of ascendency passives.

... really GGG the last TWO classes are still unannounced on you OWN FREAKING PAGE???

over powered

Very, very cool. I'm thoroughly looking forward to this latest expansion. I sincerely hope all of these exclusive reveals that happened over the last couple of months has helped in bringing the general awareness of PoE to a larger playing audience once the expansion goes live. I hope it's a smooth launch for all of us. GG GGG! :D

wtf dat eyes ...

Concerning all Ascendancy:

Some time ago I had an idea of, well, an alchemist, or reanimator, or someone like this, namely Shadow (for his thinness and gloominess) with minion, poison and flask nodes. Well, it is not disallowed or something, but now with all these sweet bonuses for minions and flasks coming for Witch and Ranger respectively and, furthermore, without any for Shadow, this idea will be abandoned. Really, should Herbert West be Assassin, Trickster or Saboteur?
Funny, I was pleased to see some differentiation between classes, for there, actually, wasn't any, and yet now characters' personalities are quite… forced. Well, comparing to pre-Ascendancy, of course.
Anyway, who cares about role-playing in "action role-playing"?

Concerning Ascendant alone:

This blonde chick never seemed more than a joke for me, for her bust (as she is the only one of three female characters who have one), butt (that she openly demonstrate in character creation section) and jack-of-all-trade-ness (who will help me with the word?) is kind of ideal of true video game hero(ine). Wonder why she doesn't have her navel naked or something. Now, when she is more versatile than ever, while other characters are more intended to be less versatile, I can't even think out the image for her. Morrowind's "Adventurer" with 100 in all stats and skills is the closest one.
Actually, after noticed some crafted image of Ascendancy wheel for Scion with twelve jewel sockets, I was hoping that her subclass will give some bonuses for socketed jewels, like "(something) for every socketed jewel", "…% increased effect of socketed jewels" and so on.

By the way, does anybody apart from me feel like it would be much cooler if all jewels were interacting with tree, with even common magic/rare affixes sound like "X something for every 10 strength in radius" or something like that?

Going Juggernaut for my Scion leap/sweeper.

From http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Ascendant

Juggernaut:
30% increased Armour
Cannot be Chilled
10% chance to gain an Endurance Charge when you are Hit
You can't be Stunned while you're at maximum Endurance Charges

Going to combine it with another ascendancy or get the marauder starting point for more life+armour
