Here’s an early look at the Gladiator Ascendancy in Path of Exile: Legion!

Is this an out of season april fools joke?



I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready.
Challenger Charges look interesting at least. 20% more attack speed is pretty substantial.
I have a pretty good sense of humor. I'm not German.
How boring. This made me want to play Glad even less now.

Ummm....


I should have specified, the new nodes are good everything else remains the same.

But i don't think the old nodes were bad.

So "it's good".

Peace,

I love adding new nodes to ASC trees.

Even 10 is too much to be honest. Think about it, a Frenzy charge is 4% - now imagine if a single node gave you 5 frenzy charges on rare or unique hit.


well frenzy gives more damage and increased attack and cast speed. this only gives you more attack speed and more movement speed.

but you're right, it seems pretty damn powerful especially compared to frenzy. be interesting to see more about challenger charges and whatnot.

as of right now even if it was just 20% more attack speed and 20% more movement speed - that is pretty fucking huge.




Glad NEVER had PROBLEMS with Attack speed. This change is no change at all. Compared to chieftain change this is pathetic excuse for a change. Glad is still dog shit compared to champion in the end game uber grind.

Question was: "how could Glad keep his great aoe... and still be good at bossing... Answer from GGG : " No ".

GGG move "Gratuitous Violence" from spot 4 to spot 2. Give us fucking chance to go for "Violent retaliation" without losing "Gratuitous Violence". By changing this, Gladiator still wont be top tier single target melee burster like Champ, but he will at least be more well rounded, which is the point of that ascendancy! You can push "Blood in the eyes" on to the spot 4 and give it extra aoe to reward players that want to increase their mapping potential over boss killing/damage mitigation.

All this useless "on kill" effects are so bad that i can't express enough how you destroyed the will to play this class yet again. My expectations where high... This is just sad. Please do not think you did a good job on Glad because 10 people said "Wooooo nice one!" Try to listen to top players that are already off the glad hype due to this "changes". Don't destroy the glad please!!! This is only class that i still enjoy playing in this horse shit spellcaster oriented game. You did great job with "corrupted" nods... compliment them with meaningful glad changes.

I'm sorry, it took you this long to tease this? You didn't even change the pathing or adjust anything else but add some new mechanic ontop of a new mechanic. I mean what.

That node is very strong for sure but I expected something a little bit more then that. I'm actually worried for Slayer now.

How to actually rework glad:
1. Delete painforged and add anything else.
2. Easier charge generation for outmatch
3. Double the damage and range of the bleed explosions.

Done.

Ps. For painforged you could keep the counter attack double dmg and add:
Nearby enemies have the effect of vaal haste and echoing shrine but deal 50% less damage.
Counter attacks have 50% reduced cooldown.

Wow what a shitpost. "Listen to top players" give me a fucking break.

why people crying already saying bleed will be shit? the nodes are good if bleed get improvements some other way on patch notes.

We will only know if something will be shit or not, after full patch notes.
