PoE2 was an opportunity to remove that but to be fair they did simplify some other very confusing poe1 mechanics like ailments

It will be much easier to at least attempt your own builds and experiment
well then I don't agree with that.

if any "more" multipliers are the simplest form. as "more" multiplies with everything, including itself. 10% more, and 10% more is 1x1.10x1.10

While increased adds into increased, but multiplies into everyting else.
attack speed adds into attack speed, but multiples into everything else.
crit hit, chance to hit, resistance, etc all add add into themselves, but multiply into everything else.
as penance even pointed out, 10% increased damage and 10% increased damage taken aren't the same and multiply. as one is a buff, and the other is a debuff.

10% increased damage, 20% increased damage, 5% increased damage, 10% increased attack speed, 10% increased damage taken, 5% increased damage taken would be:
1x1.35x1.1x1.15

I guess all the full ascendancy points got leaked. Some interesting stuff they held back. Some changes made to things we saw from the preview already as well.

These previous un-shown nodes are pretty cool. It makes me think two things:

-Each ascendancy is going to have a very specific mechanic to work with however they want, which will make classes feel more unique and actually pretty cool.
-Each (most) ascendancy has a very specific mechanic with special interaction that they are almost SURELY going to fuck up and make some underwhelming and others completely overpowered. I'm sure within a week we'll see the easy to grasp "oh this shit is busted" and a few weeks later we'll see the "this interacts with x and y to delete everything while being invincible" type builds.

Either way, excited to see. We do need to keep in mind this is a beta and they probably will have to nerf/balance some stuff often since they make it a point to not do that during the league. Scarab exploits etc aside, they don't mess with skills very often if ever during a league.

lets see chronomancer.

now and again-skills have a 33% not ot consume a cd when used.> time snape. cd reset. level 9 -20 mana, 36.8s cd. .6s cast time. (0-10% increased CD recovery rate) from quality.

time freeze.- level 9, 20 mana. 61s cd (jfc). .7s cast time. wave radius is 10metres. time freeze duration is 3s. affected enemies have time freeze duration halved fore ach time theyve been time frozen in the past 30s. (0-10% CD reduce) from quality.
lame. huge cd. short effect. time freeze should negate dodge/block/evade at least...

quicksand thoughts-every 12 s gain 50% more cast speed for 4s.
apex of the moment-enemies in your presence are slowed by 20%

circular heartbeat. 30% of damage taken recouped as life. > the rapid river-recoup effects instead occour over 4 seconds.


lame these all seem like absolute trash. I kindof wanted to go chronomancer.. but these all seem so bad. no damage boost. even defensively its trash.

I expected bloodmage to be the lowlife ascendancy. its interesting Infernal is. really neat. reserve 75% of your life is right in the tree itself. although, those should probably be all 1 node? making you spend 6 ascendancies for it would be silly. unless those are minors?

Blood Mage looks sweet.
yeah, blood mage just seems so obviously op. and strong right out the gate.

15% BASE spell crit chance? wow.
life overflow for 200% max life?
which then feeds into 1% crit damage per 20life?

also, now travel nodes are "pick which one you want", so going full STR witch will be easy,.

es from armor as max life, curses are infinate, 10% of damage as extra phys/elem damage can bleed, or 10% spell damage leech is a bit more up for grabs.

Well, I guess Blood Mage it will be, chronomancer looks a bit underwhelming. I‘m glad to see blood remnant spawn on critical hits too, not just on killing an enemy, I was concerned how that would work on bosses.
