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

Add bloodmage to that.

I actually really like the bloodmage changes I just wish they also made Sangumancy not ONLY a downside. I wish it had less mana cost or something as well as the downside of life cost.

I dunno man, Between the Cracks is completely useless when you already break Armor instantly anyway with the armor-break on crit node. Bleed is a toss-up, but I have a feeling that it's still going to be bad unless we get some completely cracked supports for it, in which case it becomes mid.

I think either BloodMage needs a complete rework to Sanguimancy or it needs all of the stuff that isn't the crit nodes to get some major improvements. The concepts are there, and I like them. They just aren't fully realized imo.

You don't need to worry about breaking armour on crit anymore or anything like that given they've nuked BM's only viable niche build in DD harder than frigging archmage lol.

It's like triple or quadruple tap i think in multiple huge damage nerfs and full QoL destruction with sacrifice nerf and such.
