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

Jeebus!

I was planning on Champion but Slayer is going to walk on water. Well Champion and Beserker remain to be seen as do the weapons.

Poor Raider...how I loved thee

oooooo

:O

Masterful form seems weird. What build type is this supposed to be for?

maybe if you go for the crit option and want to scale the right side of the tree for generic crit and/or weapon specific crit you can still grab iron reflexes, use evasion gear, turn it all into armour and then ur investment into frenzy charges for damage gets mirrored over to the endurance charges youd lose from not going left on the tree? You still get the full use of all the defense %s and charges on hand that a typical left melee would be getting.

dunno if its a thing, but throwing it out there as a maybe.



So I guess its ok now that the gladiator has the 20% more dps and speed thing cause the other classes are just gonna absolutely shit the bed, is that where its going?

fair enough, at least within that bubble of lunacy theres some rhyme and reason, maybe even some balance if we can call it that.

slayer huh? hmmm I guess I'm gonna totally try some build at some point..

also here wondering why gladiator got shit buffs and slayer got this.....jesus.

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 steal a quote: "hes a man with a fork in a world of soup"

the gladiator is a class from another game where people care about defense mechanics. the day people look at him and think "thats the best melee class omg" is the day this game is fucked, because that means the most op damagewhore beast melee killer also has max block/spell block. Gladiator just needs to be the block class and no one cares because block doesnt kill things quicker, he cant also be the stomp the world guy.

Hes at the point now where hes running around with 120%+ increased phys against bosses with 20% more attack speed, if he still "sucks because hes got no damage" then fair enough imo, just let him suck and the people who still like block can keep playing him.

Yeeees, Noo room for complains here ! THANK YOU, Now I can get some sleep !


Edit : Holy moly , Look at that OVERWHELM . ok really going to sleep now.

Is the 8% crit from overwhelm addative to the local weapon crit?

no, you didnt read it correctly. The BASE crit with any weapon is 8%. so whatever your weapon normally has, is changed to 8%

The new possibilities with this Ascendancy are going to be very interesting

but kind of obvious the developer basically funnel player into
7/8/9/10 instead of 3/4/5/6
(3)Headsman received -10% damage if you've killed recently
(10) Brutal Fevour received +20% damage while leeching


I guess it's only fitting, consider what Gladiator got, while Slayer can specialize in 2h / dual wield / 1h+shield

They really buffed Slayer this league.
