Great potential for customization

In Path of Exile 2, 6 classes will welcome you to early 𝔉access, and you can customize all of them further with the help of the Ascendancy system.

Just like in the first game, your chosen class will determine your character’s playing style, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. With the use of Ascendancies, you can personalize them even more while improving their endgame potential. Ahead of the launch of the early access, the developers have discussed key details about all 12 Ascendancies that are going to be available immediately.

All Class Ascendancy in Path of Exile 2

Before discussing the different options, let’s take a look at all 12 choices for the six classes.

  • Stormweaver (Sorceress)
  • Chronomancer (Sorceress)
  • Titan (Warrior)
  • Warbringer (Warrior)
  • Deadeye (Ranger)
  • Pathfinder (Ranger)
  • Blood Made (Witch)
  • Infernalist (Witch)
  • Witchhunter (Mercenary)
  • Gemling Legionnaire (Mercenary)
  • Invoker (Monk)
  • Acolyte of Chayula (Monk)

Every class Ascendancy has certain nodes that unlock new abilities and skills. The number of nodes isn’t the same, and they can differ even for the same class. For example, Stormweaver has 10 nodes to unlock, while Chronomancer has 8. That doesn’t naturally mean that Stormweaver is better.

From my understanding, the Ascendancy system appears to be a specialization option. Naturally, they will create differences in every build when you factor in✤ the skill tree associated with any character.

So far, there doesn’t appear to be any Ascendancy, which seems overpowered. Ultimately, your choice will depend on your class, as that comes first. That said, your decision when choosing a specialization is reportedly going to be permanent. Hence, you’ll want to make the best choice as there will be no coming back from that.

Additionally, we will be getting more classes during early access (6 will be avai🃏lable at launch, but a total of 12 are planned). Every class will ultimately have three specialization choices, taking the total to 36. It will be interesting to find out the impact of Ascen♋dancy in the build of a character.
