The Legacy of Phrecia, not for HC ? 🤨

...all the 19 Ascendancy classes you are familiar with will be replaced with new ones

Where is the defense ?

Shadow: Sightless:

Base Critical Strike Chance for Attacks with Weapons is 12%
You are Blind

No thanks...

why not get god power?

For what need power when You are dead ??

It's okay, we will find a way to stay alive

Don't ever give up

Well I saw all of the ascendancies thats why. Pretty decent amount of them are viable in HC.

Ancestral is 10/10. just 90 % of players have never played a bottom left build because compared to 20 projectile builds with 15k es theyre dogshit

You looked at one example on 1 ascendancy and decide there is no hc viable ascendancy options in the league.

I know its hard for some people but it makes 0 sense for shadow/trickster to be as broken defensively as it is to begin with.

Look at ancestral commander and tell me thats not hc viable with a straight face.

Also take a look at paladin. Balbala with triple ele, chest implicit for flask charges, and all the aura effect could be good on paladin.

These are the 2 ascendancies i have my eye on.

If you want a 20 projectile build with 15k es with a ton of damage you're going to have to fight for the trickster forbidden jewel

12% base crit is good, the blind deal doesn't even matter that much. You can make a weapon and craft hits cant be evaded. You're also on the side of the tree with a ton of dex and good accuracy nodes that are in good pathing anyways. The only bad part about it is the -evasion.

There are easy ways around that downside. It also gives you the advantage of being able to use the nasima timeless jewel to get second sight for 25% more crit chance while blind, and light radius is not effected. If you don't want to use this timeless jewel because you want evasion you could always run hinekoras sight amulet and you wont even be blind.

Have you even pobbed this ascendancy?

Before you complain about having to build around blind there are far worse downsides in ascendancies in this event, like the cannot use spells on behemoth and one of the templar ascendancies(i think). That is 1000x worse than blinded.

Getting offense from an ascendancy isnt the end of the world if you have a setup and game plan to get defenses from the tree and gear. Berserker is played often in hc, maybe not meta but its played. Its even played in gauntlet and not only does it get played its kind of competitive if you're a normal person.

I dont have any other suggestions though because i dont care about anything thats not marauder/duelist and i dont really like duelist either its just my 2nd option.

How to answer this with the skepticism it deserves without passive aggressive snark?

I can't, did you look at literally ANY of them?

If Ancestral commander and Chill surfer dude aren't the two strongest defensive ascendancies ever put in the game I'll eat a hat. Maybe old Jugg pre nerf was AS GOOD (it really wasn't though).

I shouldn't even have to point out that 50/50 freeze and chill effect dmg reduction are strong to anyone who's made more than a couple POE builds. Let alone "all the of the defenses" er I mean "ancestral commander". there's strong options all over the place and even as much as I shit talk the opportunity cost the two options to wear Gruthkul's pelt are both defensively super strong, just fucking your quality of life, utility and offense with no spells making them dumb choices if you want decent farming gameplay, but they're certainly defensive options.

speaking of HC was considering trying to go HC trade myself for a change of pace was thinking:

Ancestral Commander, lidl Defiance of destiny, +3 max endo charges, Proximity Cloak of Flame plus real Cloak of flame for 40% phys as fire or 90% of near phys as fire, and 20% dmg reduction totem, might be the most HC ascendancy ever. Go wand barista totems, take shield nodes for attack dmg etc. eventually get svalin. possibly convert dmg to fire with Exarch shield and chieftain FF jewels. Maybe go chieftain Totem taunt FF instead and just keep svalin. Would also have easy spell resist due to tree going right over to ranger for lower tree ballista nodes.

Sounds like a build that would survive my crappy internet, so the only thing that would kill it would be my crappy boomer skill cap (AKA missing a line of text on a map 100% kills me).

Also considered Polytheist with doubled Gruthkul's or Behemoth and Gruthkul's but as always loss of spells is just pure bait. Better off just making something with Rathpith life stacking, Tornado T-gem and Inquis life/ES regen FF jewels more life by a lot, more regen by a lot more DPS by a lot, and most of all not shit QoL.
