Hello, Exiles!

We got some news on the upcoming event for Path of Exile 1, now called the Legacy of Phrecia.

Over the next few days, they will be showing off all the changed ascendancy classes we get for the event.

GGG is still unsure about the event’s timelines, but they hope to have a starting date and as many details as possible ready for early next week.

Remember to check back on this post to see info on new ascendancies as they get released below and check out GGG’s announcement here

Small Ascendancy Nodes

Ranger

Daughter of Oshabi

As an Azmeri, the daughter has a great respect for nature – particularly the forest. She shares many of the powers of the Warden of the Maji, as well as being empowered by Shrines or utilising Sacred Wisps to aid Wand attacks.

Whisperer

The Whisperer is a descendant of Inya of the Pale Court. She travels silently, imbuing her attacks with arcane powers. Investing in your Mana is core to taking advantage of many of her abilities.

Wildspeaker

The Wildspeaker worships the First Ones, a set of animalistic avatars from Ezomyte legend. Choose between the aspect of Farrul, first of the plains, or Saqawal, first of the sky. Her love for the animals of the forest grants her several abilities that aid her allies in battle.

Marauder

Antiquarian

This Karui Collector hails from the port of Ngakanu. Over the course of his long career he has traded for historical artifacts, many of which he can employ in combat. Choose from Kalguuran relics, Karui trinkets used by legendary Chieftains or equipment from one of the great Karui enemies, General Marceus Lioneye.

Behemoth

The Behemoth abhors magic and the users of it. The truest form of combat should be hand to hand, up close and personal. The Behemoth gets progressively stronger throughout combat, gaining Rampage, Fortify and Rage.

Ancestral Commander

This Marauder calls the spirits of his Karui ancestors to his side to both protect him and strike foes down. Be comforted in the knowledge that you have generations of predecessors watching over you.

Shadow

Servant of Arakaali

Tempted by the Spinner of Shadows herself, the Servant does the bidding of the Queen. Arachnophobes stay away, because the Servant can both raise spiders to fight alongside or embrace the Aspect of the Spider to cover enemies in webs.

Duelist

Gambler

Are you the kind of player who likes to play against the odds? This is the perfect class for risk lovers who want to experience the highest of highs, and potentially the lowest of lows. The Gambler specialises in betting on a high payoff and having lady luck take control.

Paladin

The Paladin is a Duelist who has taken a righteous path. He serves to better his allies in combat, protecting them from danger through Link and Aura skills as well as Taunting enemies.

Aristocrat

Born with a silver spoon in their mouth, the Aristocrat had access to the finest education in Oriath. Starting one step ahead in life grants the Aristocrat more passive skill points than any other class.

Templar

This Templar has desecrated the holy order by experimenting with Undead in his secret laboratory. His aim is reanimation, to command an army of flesh puppets to undertake his foul bidding.
  • Update Puppeteer’s Rotting Might stacks with The Baron unique helmet.

Scion

Scavenger

This Scion has happened upon a heap of ‘trash’, discarded by other exiles, but for what reason? What exile could look at these curios and think they weren’t incredibly valuable? Well it is hers now, just to decide which to take as she can’t carry them all.

No, except for the usual exceptions.

Do the idols have itemlevel based scaling?
Yes, but you’ll have to figure this out.

Will the Idol class remain part of the base game in Path of Exile 1?
No, but it will be safe to be in filters if Idols are not enabled.

Until next week.
Stay sane, Exiles.
