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

I just hope some of this stays this way through release. Long time no see, Mr. Slayer!

Slayer is more of a generalist and Gladiator is very much a specialist, he's built around bleed and block, if those are buffed in some way then he's already buffed indirectly.

So, we can only hope those are buffed to an extent that will make him stronger.

to be fair glad wasn't even close to as bad as slayer post leech nerf.

This is pretty hot though I like it, much better than the other teasers so far I can see myself making another slayer.

Someone will complain no matter what. Let them.

We haven't figured out the new block yet. Gladiator excels at block. So it follows that we haven't figured out the Gladiator yet.

Well it make sense. To have the ascendancy's be different flavours. Glad being block heavy and Slayer well slaying things.

This is nice.

2h weapon damage bonuses removed from slayer.

I think huge buff is coming to 2h weapons.

So... Would it be best to get impact, bane and heads man? And skip the leech nodes / get stun immunity somewhere else?

Now this is a rework!
Tnx! :)


I dont see +7% of max life nodes tho! xD

2h Weapons will have their base damage buffed. Check the newest Baeclast for source.
For example a 2h Axe will have roughly 60% more base dps than a 1h axe of comparable level req. hats what i got from the episode. I think its a big buff.

Seems very good. But isnt it too versatile to not have "with 2 handed weapons" here and there? Ofc this may be balanced as it is,or just a minor typing error, just saying.
And maybe shift some power to poor node 14? Anyways, glad you are taking this thing serious. Thx for all the effort!
