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.

Galvanic Shards buff is so good, +20% conversion to ele, would recommend it for end game

yup, it was my intended build, witchhunter galvanic shards with a low life build (Deepest Tower).

the helmet was nerfed with the Presence radius nerf, but the passive tree will have a cluster to improve it.

This is funny though, Witchhunter with Galvanic Shards/Shockburst was the first build I tried in PoE2 before I knew anything about what the meta was (didn't know PoE2.ninja, didn't trade, etc.) and it absolutely decimated maps all the way up to T15. If you applied shock to a boss you could just strip their entire health bar with Shockburst and it also did absolutely bonkers stun so they'd immediately be stunned in case the volley of Shockburst rounds didn't immediately kill them. Was I just playing a different game?
