ZiggyD Reveals the Scion Ascendancy Class: The Ascendant

looks OP at the first look
but my deadeye ranger ends to be equal to deadeye occulist scion

very well balanced, great work ggg :)

from what I saw you cant take the best of the best, 2 points in each of 2 passives is about what it sounds like but I could be wrong but I could totally see my flicker being scion with fortify and melee splash free and allowing me to get allot more dps and defense again making flicker or a melee scion umber.

WOW!

RIP to offline tree planner :)

Eh...it's very nice certainly...particularly the Raider Scion ascendancy with a bow build. 7 base crit voltaxic, coupled with increased crit chance gem for like another 1.5 or something...and holy crap, we might be talking about what--a 60%+ chance to crit with a voltaxic, while maintaining full frenzy charges with free onslaught?

That's very nice.

That said, some things definitely deflated the hype.

EG: you get the Deadeye's +1 additional projectile (4 point path), but you don't get the Pathfinder's surgeon mod (SAD PANDA. VERY SAD PANDA).

Furthermore, most of the mini ascendancies just don't seem all that amazing.

Things that really struck me as missing:

Assassin seems a bit lackluster, ambush (+100% more crit chance vs. full life turned into +40% crit mult...yowch)
No surgeon's on pathfinder (Raider looks like it EASILY outdoes everything else in ranger tree, unless you want deadeye for some reason)
Marauder just seems all sorts of skippable
Templar inquisitor looked amazing then I realized you can't really apply elemental status debuffs on bosses--aka the things you'd really like to apply them to. Guardian looks solid, hierophant really lackluster.

Also, one other massive caveat:

The second starting node option removes your ability to get a second mini-ascendancy. Might not be important but I'd think for solo play, if you can maintain frenzy charges at all (that is, if you use a wand or a bow instead of a dagger to whirl around), you'd be utterly insane not to take the raider for the absolute godliness that is onslaught while at full frenzy.

And here we go again... skilltree..

Trash, garbage, pandering noob bullshit

For some builds Scion is beyond OP, Deaeye+Raider\Elem\path EK 7 link character ;) And for otehrs it's meh.

Goodbye balance. Hello Scion.

Obviously for some builds the scion won't always be the best option. But it sure is looking a bit OP. Makes me wish I actually leveled up high up. Even for my dual wielding duelist, I bet she could do it better.
