Path of Exile reveals the Ascendant class, new items and skills

Path of Exile‘s Ascendancy expansion is set to be released next week on March 4th, adding the huge new Labyrinth endgame dungeon and a whole slew of new unique items and skills. Players will prove their worth in six challenges spread throughout the game world to unlock the Labyrinth and can ascend to unlock powerful new subclasses for each of the game’s main classes. Earlier this month we exclusively revealed the Chieftain subclass for the Marauder, and yesterday YouTube channel ZiggyD Gaming revealed the Ascendant class for the Scion.

The Scion has always been a versatile hybrid character, and the Ascendant subclass furthers this by allowing you to combine some of the powers of two other Ascendancy classes to create something truly unique. Grinding Gear Games also revealed some interesting new skill gems, unique items and enchantments coming with the expansion. When players complete the Labyrinth, they’ll be rewarded with powerful glove, boot and helm enchantments that can cast spells every time the players hit or kill something, provide new conditional bonuses, or give huge skill-specific effects. Read on to see the Ascendant in action.
