POE 2 finally welcomed the much-anticipated 0.2.0 patch on April 4, injecting new vitality into the game that has lasted for nearly four months. Its rich update content is worth exploring.
After the release of Dawn of the Hunt, the appearance of the Huntress and the changes in many equipment and skills in the game have aroused heated discussions and games among players. However, in addition to these, POE 2's updates to the core classes' Ascendancy are also worth paying attention to, including the Warrior's Smith of Kitava, the Mercenary's The Tactician, and the Witch's The Lich.
Warrior — Smith of Kitava
The Smith of Kitava is a blacksmith who is good at making weapons and armor in real time during combat. Players can combine this with Forged in Flame and Coal Stoker to let the reduced resistance suffixes for damage instead, which allows you to maintain high elemental resistance while dealing extra damage. This allows you to quickly master the skills of this Ascendancy Class, which can always be understood in practice. If you have already completed the upgrade in Act II, it is recommended to use the Smith’s Masterwork as an ascendency skill to apply modifiers to your defensive items, but once you have enough modifiers for equipment using POE 2 currency, you can still have extraordinary resistance without doing so.
Mercenary — The Tactician
Mercenary’s Ascendancy Class The Tactician is like a controller of the entire battlefield, as its abilities are not reflected in single combat, but are focused on all-round support and defense. It can place multiple banners to buff teammates and provide a portion of the mainhand weapon’s damage to teammates for increased damage. It can also use skills such as Suppressing Fire and Right Where We Want Them to control the actions of enemies and give teammates the opportunity to attack fiercely. This is an Ascendancy for players who like to play in a group. Of course, its melee ability will be very weak in this case.
Witch — The Lich
The Lich Ascendancy for the Witch class plays the role of a lord. It has the forbidden ability to use part of its soul to become the caster of a curse. When you use the Node Effect of Rupture the Soul, there is a 1/3 chance that all enemies killed by your party will explode. If you use Dominion Over Flesh, it can produce greater power. Eternal Life will guarantee your health during the curse. As long as your energy shield is still there, all damage you should have taken will be ignored. You are also immune to poison and bleeding, which will support you well into the end game.
You must spend time farming in the first three acts for build the above three Ascendancy Class. If you want to enter the endgame quickly, you can unlock many orbs you need at POECurrency.com.
There are big differences between the three Ascendancy Classes released with POE 2: Dawn of the Hunt, and it's well worth trying them all out.
