I Didn't Know I Had More Ascendency Points

I've been playing the game mostly blind and have enjoyed making my own Merc build. I have 49.6 hours in the game, I'm in Act 3, I'm level 48, and I just beat the viper lady after doing a lot of grinding because my build was not doing enough DPS.

Lo and behold, I just realized that I had 2 extra Ascendency Points lying around! I beat The Sekhemas and Chaos trials hours ago, but I assumed that each trial only awarded one Ascendency Point. It irks me that I have been playing most of Act 3 without Decimating Strike when it was available to me.

Yes, I realize now that the points show up in the top right of the passive skill tree, but the passive skill tree has a lot of visual noise. However, I did not notice I had one point left after Sekhemas and another point left after Chaos. Part of the problem might be that I'm playing on Steam Deck in handheld mode, so I didn't get the tooltip that explicitly says trials award two points. Also, I think I grew used to visual feedback for Passive Points. If Passive Points are available, you get a nifty icon on the passive tree tab reminding you to spend the points. I think displaying a similar icon on the tab would be a good reminder to spend Ascendency Points. Alternatively, putting a blinking visual effect around the Ascendency Tree disk inside the Passive Skill Tree would work too.
