Discharge sucks, eats your charges so it reduces the damage of all other spells. Doesn't do enough damage to justify it and also it makes you prone to die to reflect, cause the damage is still bigger.

Endurance charges reduce the physical damage taken, so not good either.


Right now, I still think berserker is the best ascendency. Used to run an assassin for the dps in legacy, but without ES, and with all the nerfs assassin took, it's way below now.

The main reason to take berserker is pain reaver. No other ascendency gives you reliable leech and you don't really want to put life leech gem in all slots. Cloaked is a great panic saver, and also works when pain reaver doesn't work well enough, meaning against bosses.

Only other ascendency I'd consider is pathfinder, cause you can find leech on pots, and probably can have them up at all time with the 50% chance to get a charge on crit. But i'm not sure how much life you'd get, so that's the main issue. Also as soon as you're out of pots, or if you meet a nullifier, you're dead :p.
