Ascendency changes look very disappointing so far. I don't think Chayula and Witchhunter are any close to not having < 1% play rate.

witchhunter got "buffed" by having everyone else nerfed.

also, crossbow skills received a decent amount of buffs.

Don't listen to any goobers saying WH is bad. All of those mofos were just abusing grim feast. Sorc ward is insanely good value for survivability. I had like 11K last patch when the numbers were worse and I am a casual

WH when built properly had some of the most raw power from an ascendancy than nearly any other. Especially when you build items to max the cull rate...

Between cull and decimating strike... Ascendnacy alone is doing 65-90% dmg on normals, magic 45-70%, rare 25-50%, unique 15%-40%.

That's a HUGE chunk of damage that is basically FREE.

It already worked well to begin with honestly, most people just didn't build for max cull, and it got overshadowed by people going at Gemling so hard.
