Tactician Ascendency Nodes

Some Issues I have with the Ascendency Nodes for Tactician

#1- "Watch How I do it" just doesnt work. Bonus is not applied, reported in bugs as well

#2- "Canon's Ready"- Just flat out TERRIBLE design. This is a horrible Node to pick. Xbow reloads etc give you a lot of periods with no totems attacking. The idea is nice, more skill speed. the execution is terrible. I think a way to fix this if you want the totem angle to continue in this line
"Totems have 20% more attack speed". This make it worth the 2 points. To keep it to the theme and feel of the character the bonus shouldn't apply to you just your totems.

#3 Supporting Fire- Just trash, no need to add to it.

#4- The entire Armor and Evasion line is just horrible, especially since Armor is not fixed.

#5- I think the Pin line is fine, its def a commitment but not enough to cripple and other build. You can still place 4 points elsewhere.

#6- Watch How I do it, should have a tooltip explaining what damage carries over. Physical? any Elemental Damage on the Crossbow? Is it literally only referring to the 110-242 with no other bonuses?

These are some thoughts on Tactician Nodes

I'm not sure why people would think that. It's one of the best nodes for armour/es hybrids. But even if you go pure armour, turning 20k into 40k against large hits is huge.

Too far for tactician to build enough ES defence and 50% armor reduction limit means more little damage will be much more dangerous.It is going against its initial purpose

GGG I don't care, I've been shouting about it on the forum for a week now and no one is paying attention.

Yet I'll read half a dozen posts on this forum today from people absolutely raging at how they are getting "chain stunned" and "2-shot" by normal campaign mobs...

Armor and Evasion are the worst defenses if you want to play the entire game.

Armor: Good against small hits (even white monsters hit like a truck).

Evasion: Only works against the 10% of monster attacks that are "problematic".

Now, about the Tactician: Even with 50% defense and 200% from the unique belt, which has no health, you will die quite often from one or two shots. Don't get this by the node, Polish That Gear is "okay". Pinned enemies cannot perform actions is way better than Stay Light, Use Cover.
The reason is that you CAN only get 50%, you will need a lot of health to mitigate the other 50%. It's not easy to get with the Tactician, if you want damage for sure.

The only fun thing I saw was the banner, but banners are clunky, 1 second to activate each one is insane, but they give a lot of cool stats, like movement speed. Unfortunately, unique has no health and gives half of what a normal body armor should give.
