Ascendant


You are the sculptor, crafting your destiny with the clay of mind, body, and purpose.
The Ascendant offers more flexibility than any other class by allowing the player to take passives based on other Ascendancy classes. These passives offer similar benefits representing the class's overall tree, but with mitigated effects. Only one Ascendancy class passive can be taken from each base class.
Among many farming bd guides, we rarely see Ascendant recommended as starting class. It is more complex to select skills and talents to be a powerful ascendancy class, because it covers all notable passive skills and talents within other six classes.
Meanwhile, the complexity can create more interesting and powerful BD in PoE. The top priority is to consider that how to select passive skills within other classes to gain more bonuses.
