[3.11] Bladefall + Blade Blast Ascendant
|
Cheesy build picture below
 INTRODUCTION This league I fell in love with the Ascendant and I wanted to try out a few different builds. Before this build I played a Whispering Ice Arcanist Brand and an Arcane Cloak BL. But it got boring quick because on these build I could straight up ignore every mechanic and just not die. I felt like I needed a more active play style. So this is where this build comes from. Disclaimer: I was inspired by Mathil's Pathfinder CoC character to make this one with slight alterations. All credits are due to him. Disclaimer 2: My gear is NOT min-maxed, and it probably never will be, simply because I do not care much about it. While I'm not a min-maxer, I do love to see great items so please showcase your gear in the comments :D For the impatients ~ PoB ( Community Fork ): https://pastebin.com/4Qixt0CU VIDEOS I will post more videos in the near future

Elementalist is a solid contender too, with the added QoL of Reflect Immunity. Ascendancy order: Inquisitor > Pathfinder > Path of the Ranger GEAR

WEAPON
Spoiler
In the weapon slot we want a Shaper base, preferably Harbinger bow for the high crit chance. " You can do without the +1 to socketed gems and craft +2 socketed support gems instead for a cheaper bow. QUIVER
Spoiler
Redeemer Influenced Spike-Point Arrow Quiver " HELMET
Spoiler
Asenath's Chant. The only mandatory unique. Look for high AS roll, every other stat is useless to us. Enchant would be Bladeblast Area of Effect or +1 Bladefall Volley. GLOVES
Spoiler
This is a fun one ! Here we want a Puhuarte temple mod on a Warlord influenced Fingerless silk gloves base. " BODY ARMOUR
Spoiler
This is where Harvest really shines. Here we want: +1 curse Attacks have +1~1.5% to critical strike chance Spells have +1~1.5% to critical strike chance Explodey mod is not necessary at all. I just use this chest piece because I had it from a previous character. RINGS
Spoiler
We want Elemental Weakness and Assassin's Mark on hit on the rings. Life gain on Spell hit Shaper mod is a very nice QoL thing to have. You can get more damage combining the two curses on a single ring with an awakener's orb and getting a full damage Opal Ring on the second slot. AMULET
Spoiler
For the amulet we want any shaper base with High crit multi, Phys as extra Cold shaper mod, and Ele pen shaper mod (I'm missing this on mine for now). Adding Warlord's +1 to all Phys gems or Hunter's +1 to all Dexterity Gems would be sick but also much more expensive. BOOTS
Spoiler
Standard Tailwind boots. Pretty self explanatory. Tailwind + Elusive arguably better but more expensive. BELT
Spoiler
Any high life stygian vise is fine, nothing out of the ordinary here.
Here's my chaos spammed one CRAFTING PROCESS Coming Soon. LEVELING Level with you preferred spell until level 28 where you can swith to handcast Bladefall/Blade Blast. The leveling tree I used is included in the POB. GEMS Damage Setup ( Bow ) Barrage + Blade Blast + Bladefall + Hypothermia + Inspiration + Empower Asenath Chant Setup Bladefall + (Awakened) Spell Cascade + Power Charge on Crit + Concentrated Effect Auras ~ Hatred + Herald of Purity + Herald of Ice + Enlighten ( Level 3 is enough ) ~ Precision CWDT Setup CWDT + Immortal Call OTHER / QoL ~ Dash + Second Wind ~ Ice Golem + Frostbomb ( Does not need to be linked ) Side note: Bladefall should stay at 0 quality to minimize its area of effect thus maximizing Blade Blast overlap.
