I was wondering if there was any multiclass combo that enhances your abilities while ascended (which is why I looked at monk and all the buffs) and are those buffs worth the lose of the 3 power levels you lose by not being single class? From what I'm reading so far and especially your reply I should just stick to single class. It's honestly so easy to hit ascended with the right weapons, even as a single class cipher. Once you lose ascended and have to reach it again was also a non issue. I think this just pretty much summer it up, thanks! I've tested a single class ascended and like it and never had any issues reaching ascended on Potd. Particularly the already mentioned Red Hand and Kitchen Stove Thunderous Report (the latter just once per encounter, but it's nice to instantly max the focus while seriously damaging and dazing a large mob). But there are some ranged weapons that will fill the focus of even single-class Cipher quite rapidly. The decision would be more difficult if there were less awesome weapons. And I will never experience the awesomeness of Time Parasite speed or the horror of Death of 1000 cuts while spamming mind blades and shredding the enemy every second with Ectopsychic Echo. As it is, I have to wait till level 16, which feels like eternity (and wait till 13 for Borrowed Instinct). My character is now level 11 and if he were pure, he'd already start melting enemies with Disintegration (with accuracy boosted by Borrowed Instinct). Till that point I'd rather have the earlier access to stronger powers. I feel the Monk wasn't really pulling his weight prior to level 10 (when he got both Duality of Mortal Presence and Stunning Blow - one level earlier). That said, if I was starting again, I probably would have gone pure Ascendant. The Helwalker Might boost is great for the damage spells and the massive Int bonus is awesome for buff/debuff durations (including Ascension), as well as effect aoes.
#Ascendant vs uberlayer full
There also exist boots that Give you Charge with Full Attack which also works very well with 2DW Edited Jby mant2si Then you can use Time parasite + Eye Strike + Death of 1000 cuts and watch how enemies dies Without DD I just stack deflection and take WotEP, of-course with full attack this combination will work even better, but WotEP has AOE skills which will fill you focus + WotEP retaliation reduce enemies fortitude and increase your focus Otherwise there are no noticeable cons to pure ascendant except as a single class it may feel a bit boring to play. Still though with a rogue or a monk you could and would hit max focus fast more consistently.ĭefinitely pump your perception as high as you can (like 22-24 lol) if you go single class as also having no full attacks (which usually come with bonus accuracy and damage) means perception and accuracy is even more important. You mitigate that con by using Thunderous Report from Kitchen Stove blunderbuss or The Red Hand Arquebus which fires two shots per attack.


Single class Ascendant downside #1 is that you are slow to get to full focus without full-attacks from other martial classes. If you've tried it out please share your input and experience. Hoping for others input on what they think the pros and cons are and what they suggest and/or how they would build.

So I think that's basically it? Idk I'm at work atm and just trying to type this up quickly. If they're good it's a con if they're bad it's just meh. Again still on the fence w/ this since idk how good they really are. your spells are overall weaker due to reduced PL
#Ascendant vs uberlayer pro
Twice the ascendance in one character! Not really a pro I just find it slightly humorous saying transcendent ascendant. you punch their face while obliterating their soul. swift strikes is a nice speed boost and granted at level 1. can quickly ascend due to multiclassing with a martial class. helwalkers get +10 might and intelligence w/ max wounds. not sure a con but idk how good PL8-9 really are. plus 3 PLs late game over a multiclass just by being single class I need some help deciding and what others think and/or have tested. I'm thinking between a single class Ascendant or a Transcendent(helwalker/ascendant).
#Ascendant vs uberlayer how to
So I'm on the fence on how to make an ascendant.
