This happens because players tend to stash lots of currency, which later they spend on more gear-dependent characters that can yield better results.Д«erserker - The Berserker is not a bad Ascendancy, but it is not a great one either. Still, Traps and Mines are somewhat of a niche themselves, and while both can eventually scale to insane amounts of damage in the endgame, they still tend to fall off in performance a few weeks into a new League. Saboteur - This may be considered an odd placement, considering how Saboteurs are arguably among the best League starters and they offer incredibly powerful single-target options for damage. Still, with its bonuses to Accuracy, the Juggernaut proves to be a decent choice for characters stacking that stat to achieve big damage numbers. It is a very defensive class, which is not something most Path of Exile players enjoy,В which goes to show just how tuned the game is towards speed and raw damage instead. Juggernaut - Similarly to the Chieftain, the Juggernaut is a niche Ascendancy class that is picked for specific non-meta builds that may or may not work. It has a great affinity with Fire damage, Endurance charges, and Totems, but it doesn't offer something unique that can't be found elsewhere. Even then, the Chieftain is often still not the best choice. Still, it is one of the best classes to pick when players want to stack Auras, be it party play or some broken Aura-stacking build that requires a couple of Mirrors of Kalandra to work, currency-wise.Д¬hieftain - The Chieftain's main issue is thatВ it's a class that does well with very few specific, creative builds, which coincidentally are not considered among the best in the game. While this depends on a fundamental issue tied to the MMO identity of the game, and design choices made by Grinding Gear Games, the Guardian simply does not shine as much as it couldВ on their own. Guardian - The Guardian is near the lower end of the list because of a simple factor that weighs it down quite a lot, the fact that few people actually play Path of Exile in groups.

In a game that doesn't hold the players' hand at all, even a simple class tier list can help dealing with the sheer amount of informationВ required prior to building/speccing a character. There are 19 Ascendancies total in Path of Exile, which means three Ascendancies per character for six out of the seven base classes, and the Scion having only one subclass option: the Ascendant. The latter are basically subclasses, which stem from a general common theme and can eventually specialize into some specific paths. To complicate things further, the game features several obscure mechanics, game-changing items, both Active and Support skills, and Ascendancy classes. Thanks to the complexity of its passive skill tree,В builds can vary in nature and scope even when choosing the same characters. Even if it would be off a little, the range of some of these things is so huge it still hits you regardless.Д¬urrently, thatвЂ™s the only beef I have with the game and it only started the last few hours.Path of Exile is one of those games where players are able to build their characters in so many ways that even the worst items, classes, and skills can turn out to be a great combination. To top it off, their accuracy is perfect. the recast time on some of the mobs spells is so ridiculously fast that they can hit you with a 33% life drain in less than a second without signaling you where its going down and giving you a chance to dodge out of the way. I have encountered this with a lot of mob types, especially casters or teleporting melee fighters. Theres nothing I can do but ressurect, and slowly move towards them throwing traps in my general direction. Even if they donвЂ™t kill me instantly they freeze me in spot and kill me a second later. Sometimes when I go exploring certain mob types (Tentacle things in the ship graveyard f.i.) spawn at the very rim of my view and spike me to death in less than a second with frost spikes. I play as a Ranger (Lvl 15) with maxed out Bow Damage and a little Dex.

Hey WiNG, just wondering if you ever encountered something like this (I just posted on the official forums too):
