Witch Ascendancy Classes

Infernalist

A top-tier choice! The Infernalist Witch commands devastating fire spells and summons the Infernal Hound from the underworld. Transforming into a demonic form boosts damage and mobility at the cost of increased health consumption. The Loyal Hellhound skill and Beidat's Will node (linking Spirit to maximum HP) are crucial for survivability.

Blood Mage

While less balanced than the Infernalist, the Blood Mage offers a thrilling, high-risk, high-reward playstyle. Sanguimancy replaces mana with health, demanding careful resource management. Vitality Siphon, Life Remnants, Sunder the Flesh, and Gore Spike are key skills for mitigating the inherent risks.

Sorcerer Ascendancy Classes

Stormweaver

The Stormweaver Sorcerer unleashes elemental chaos, dealing massive damage with high critical hit chances and triggering Elemental Storm. The Stormweaver excels at inflicting status ailments, amplified by Spirit Gems. Constant Gale and Force of Will improve spellcasting speed and mana regeneration. Heart of the Storm converts Elemental Damage to Energy Shield, enhancing survivability.

Chronomancer

A unique addition to PoE2, the Chronomancer manipulates time, offering innovative combat strategies. Spells like Temporal Rift and Time Freeze open exciting possibilities. While not currently the strongest Sorcerer Ascendancy, its potential is high. Key skills include Now and Again, Apex of the Moment, and Quicksand Hourglass.

Warrior Ascendancy Classes

Warbringer

The Warbringer utilizes war cries and totems for devastating melee combat, effective even against bosses. Imploding Impacts and Anvil's Weight enhance armor penetration. Warcaller's Bellow and Greatwolf's Howl manage war cry cooldowns. Renly's Training and Turtle Charm bolster defensive capabilities.

Titan

For a more controlled, defensive approach, the Titan excels. Slow, powerful attacks paralyze enemies, while Stone Skin and Mysterious Lineage enhance survivability. Earthbreaker and Ancestral Empowerment strengthen Slam abilities, and Surprising Strength boosts damage against stunned foes.

Monk Ascendancy Classes

Invoker

The Invoker Monk harnesses elemental power, using melee attacks and status effects. Power Charges enhance skills, adding strategic depth.

Acolyte of Chayula

The Acolyte of Chayula embraces darkness, forgoing Spirit for Darkness. Embrace the Darkness increases maximum Darkness and enhances survivability. Consuming Questions combined with Mana Leech provides defense, but currently suffers from inefficiency.

Mercenary Ascendancy Classes

Witchhunter

Currently one of the strongest classes, the Witchhunter excels at eliminating demons and undead. Increased damage on first and last hits facilitates rapid clearing. Pitiless Killer, Damage vs Low Life Enemies, and Judge, Jury, and Executioner are crucial against bosses. Witchbane and No Mercy reduce enemy concentration and boost damage.

Gemling Legionnaire

The Gemling Legionnaire's gameplay centers around gems, utilizing their stats, quality, and color. Thaumaturgical Infusion increases resistances based on gem color. Crystalline Potential and Implanted Gems enhance skill levels. Integrated Efficiency adds three extra skill slots.

Ranger Ascendancy Classes

Deadeye

The Deadeye Ranger is a ranged combat specialist, increasing attack range and damage. Endless Munitions adds projectiles, ideal for clearing large groups. This class is excellent for bow users focusing on elemental damage.

Pathfinder

The Pathfinder masterfully utilizes poison, dealing double damage. Overwhelming Toxicity doubles poison application but shortens duration. Gas grenades, combined with high movement speed and slow resistance, create a potent area-of-effect attack.
