Encased in Jade is the probably the worst skill I've ever seen in either game

Being stun locked for 4 seconds and vulnerable to degen and any non-hit skills (generally the most scary shit in the game) is just like mindbogglingly terrible I'm not sure how it even made it into the game.

It should be a damage absorb FULLSTOP everything for the drawback of being stunned for that long.

How this can exist, and absolute broken shit like turtle charm exist in the same ascendency is just... what.

My first experience with the skill after unlocking it was to use it against a tornado in ritual just to find out it was a button you press to lose 15% xp.

Some ascendancies seem half-baked. Pathfinder has trouble maintaining mana flasks for conc even with 4 points and a tree built around it, infernalist really can't do anything except play minions (hilarious to see demon form builds opting not to spend ascendancy points because it's better), bloodmage legit dies to it's own ascendancy in any drawn out fight unless you have over 60% crit and atziri gloves for instant leech (and gore spike doesn't even give any crit bonus). The reduced attribute requirements for gemling requires you to respec to fulfill the gems requirements before you can upgrade it, chrono is legit a joke the list just keeps going on.

They got it right with Invoker, Sorceress, Witchhunter, and Deadeye at least. Versatile and strong ascendancies with no bugs.

Seems like the ascendencies were very rushed, which when that is what your players are using as the template for their entire build, that's not good. They need some serious love.
