Path of Exile posts Ascendancy patch notes, preps Friday launch

The Ascendancy expansion for Path of Exile is on track to be released on Friday, but what are you supposed to do today? Stare at the wall? Throw rocks at a hornet’s nest? Read the patch notes for the expansion? Some fourth thing that makes a great deal more logical sense than any of the above? Probably that fourth thing, but the third one is good too! It’s less likely to result in boredom and/or easily prevented hornet stings than the first two.

Ascendancy centers around the the somewhat eponymous Trials of Ascendancy and the Lord’s Labyrinth, ultimately granting players access to Ascendancy Classes. Each core class has three different Ascendancy options, while the Scion has one option (but requires quite a bit of mastery to get there in the first place). Check out the full set of patch changes in the notes; it won’t quite take you until the expansion actually launches, but it should definitely pass the time. You’ll also be able to take part in the new Perandus challenge leagues when the expansion launches today. In the meantime, you can check out MOP’s own MJ’s recent PoE streams below.
