Witch Ascendancy Classes in PoE2

Infernalist

The Infernalist is a standout Witch, wielding a formidable array of fire spells. If you've enjoyed summoning minions in the early game, you'll be thrilled with the Infernalist's new skill, the Infernal Hound, a fiery ally from the underworld. This class also lets you transform into a demonic form, boosting your attack damage and mobility but at the cost of faster health loss. To endure longer in this form, the Loyal Hellhound skill is crucial, while Beidat's Will ties your Spirit to your maximum HP, encouraging investment in both HP and Strength for a powerful undead army.

Blood Mage

Though less popular than the Infernalist, the Blood Mage offers a thrilling gameplay experience. With Sanguimancy, you'll tread a razor's edge between life and death, using HP instead of MP. This unique mechanic requires careful management, as recklessness can lead to quick demise. Skills like Vitality Siphon and Life Remnants help you drain health from foes, while Sunder the Flesh and Gore Spike enhance your critical hits and attack damage, respectively.

Sorcerer Ascendancy Classes in PoE2

Stormweaver

The Stormweaver Sorcerer specializes in dealing massive elemental damage with high critical hit rates, often triggering Elemental Storm through Tempest Caller. Key to their strategy is inflicting status ailments, aided by Strike Twice, and amplifying damage against affected enemies using Spirit Gems. Constant Gale and Force of Will boost spell casting speed and MP regeneration, essential for a magic-focused build, while Heart of the Storm converts some Elemental Damage into an Energy Shield for improved survivability.

Chronomancer

The Chronomancer introduces a novel time manipulation mechanic to PoE2, offering unique spells like Temporal Rift and Time Freeze for innovative combat strategies. While currently not the strongest Sorcerer Ascendancy, it holds immense potential. Skills like Now and Again, Apex of the Moment, and Quicksand Hourglass enhance spell casting and control over the battlefield.

Warrior Ascendancy Classes in PoE2

Warbringer

The Warbringer Warrior excels in close combat, blending war cries with totem summons to maximize melee damage. Effective against bosses, totems can distract and absorb damage. Enhance your build with Imploding Impacts and Anvil’s Weight for better armor penetration, and use Warcaller’s Bellow and Greatwolf’s Howl to exploit Warcry effects. For defense, Renly’s Training and Turtle Charm bolster your shield and blocking capabilities.

Titan

Prefer a more controlled approach? The Titan offers powerful, slow attacks that paralyze foes, making them break through your thick armor first. Stone Skin and Mysterious Lineage enhance your defensive stats, while Earthbreaker and Ancestral Empowerment boost Slam abilities. Surprising Strength further increases damage against stunned enemies, making the Titan a formidable force on the battlefield.

Monk Ascendancy Classes in PoE2

Invoker

The Invoker Monk harnesses elemental power for devastating melee attacks and status effects. Utilizing Power Charges to enhance skills, this class offers strategic depth and powerful combat capabilities.

Acolyte of Chayula

The Acolyte of Chayula Monk embraces Darkness, gaining control over dark forces. With Embrace the Darkness, you forgo Spirit for increased Darkness and exceptional survivability. However, using Consuming Questions and Mana Leech removes the Energy Shield cooldown, making it reliant on MP drain, which is currently inefficient. This makes the Acolyte less effective than the Invoker.

Mercenary Ascendancy Classes in PoE2

Witchhunter

The Witchhunter excels at hunting demons and the undead, dealing increased damage on the first and last hits for rapid area clearances. Passive skills like Pitiless Killer, Damage vs Low Life Enemies, and Judge, Jury, and Executioner are vital for boss fights. Witchbane and No Mercy reduce enemy concentration and boost damage, while Zealous Inquisition has a chance to make slain enemies explode, damaging nearby foes.

Gemling Legionnaire

The Gemling Legionnaire's gameplay revolves around gems, enhancing resistances and skill levels based on gem color. Thaumaturgical Infusion, Crystalline Potential, and Implanted Gems boost your abilities, while Advanced Thaumaturgy and Adaptive Capability reduce skill costs and attribute requirements. Integrated Efficiency adds three more active skill slots, and Gem Studded allows the use of duplicate Support stones for powerful builds.

Ranger Ascendancy Classes in PoE2

Deadeye

The Deadeye Ranger is perfect for those who prefer ranged combat, enhancing attack range and damage output. Endless Munitions adds an extra projectile per skill use, ideal for clearing screens of enemies. Focus on elemental damage with increased movement speed and additional Marks for a formidable build.

Pathfinder

The Pathfinder Ranger specializes in poisoning, doubling the effectiveness of health drain. Overwhelming Toxicity doubles Poison applied but shortens its duration. Master the gas grenade and high movement speed to blanket the battlefield in toxic mist, perfect for those who enjoy unique poison mechanics.

Remember, we've only covered twelve of the planned thirty-six Ascendancy Classes. As PoE2 progresses through early access, these are the currently available paths, with more to come. Future updates may alter passive skills, so stay tuned for changes that could impact these Ascendancies.
