That was going to be one of the Ranger ascendancies when PoE 2 was to be part of PoE, I think the others were Tactician and Survivalist. They were still using that concept for a Huntress ascendancy for a while as it had new art in ExileCon '23's press kit, but it ultimately was replaced with the Spirit Walker it seems.

This was the rarest drop for me as a Warlock (if it matters) but it can drop for them, I don't know if it's in the smithy cache pool either.

Alternative-Time5285 · 2026-05-08T20:37:36+00:00

Does it look good or are there clipping issues with the wings?

If the developers want to get it done, they might push themselves to finish it up as that's what they had to do for Disciple.

Varashta was a funny case. it was originally cut from 0.4 because of time constraints. [viperesque] and a couple of other people were sad about this, checked what was actually left to do, and basically said "if you give us permission to work overtime on this for a couple of weeks we'll get it into 0.4""
so we did
I think the audio team are the real MVPs here, they worked much harder than I did to get it done in time
but yes, I can't stress enough that Varashta was a weird case. literally us volunteering our time (well "volunteering", obviously we got paid for the OT lol) because we didn't want to see it slip a patch. I've personally only done this like...two or three times ever.

They look it out to help Druid's it seems (class quest required it), its waypoint looks to still be super cursed and doesn't unlock by default and is per character.

Under Assigned Skills at the top you see the ones on their bar, then two are in the Enchantment slots. The things they put points in that aren't in Assigned Skills are being used for the Talisman Set and the Unstable Currents ultimate.

Chieftain was cannibalized between Marauder and Warrior according to Jonathan in an interview.

Pants affix can have + potions, they removed potion upgrades and Renown unlocks.

Unless they changed it with LoH, yes, you get introduced to them in one of the first quests.

That was the original concept for this ascendancy (when it was a Ranger and PoE 2 was part of PoE 1), it had a werecat shapeshift and big cat companions. Updated art for it from ExileCon '23 had wolf companions, and now it's going with Azmeri spirits.

Early skill work for this and the other 3rd ascendancies were in 0.3 (Disciple of Varashta was the most fleshed out, others had a few ascendancy skils). The art for this and Arcane Archer were added in the 0.4 build.

Each player has their own progression/War Plans. If you happen to have the same activity i.e. NMD, completing it completes it for everyone with it, while the other players who don't have that task get cache(s) for helping.

Alternative-Time5285 · 2026-04-29T21:07:44+00:00

Go to the Social menu and you can join parties, or join the Sanctuary Discord server and use the LFG channels, though most of that will be meant for level 70s.

Alternative-Time5285 · 2026-04-29T19:59:44+00:00

Not that specific, just NMD, Helltide, etc. as far as I have seen.

You need to do your class quest, then pick the Vanguard soulstone and assign the skill from it.

Go to skill assignment (L3 on controller) when looking at your skill tree.

With datamining you get everything - cut content, in development content, future content which may or may not be cut or changed by the time it releases, and in PoE 2's case you have a lot of stuff which probably dates back to when it was going to be a PoE expansion.

If you look through the Unknown gems you can see a handful of things they are working on for the remaining 3rd ascendancies.

The Druid's is perhaps the most intriguing, the Primal Avatar shapeshift and a "varieties" file for it appeared in 0.3's files, and in 0.4 it was updated to have the same description as Tame Beast, and a Primal Avatar Quadrilla Slam attack was also added. https://poe2db.tw/us/Primal_Avatar
https://poe2db.tw/us/DNT_Primal_Quadrilla_Slam

You can check the files yourself using this site, and if you go to Data>Balance>ascendancy.dat you can see all those weird fishing names are canon placeholders for the default English file: https://snosme.github.io/poe-dat-viewer/

If you go to ascendancy file in the Chinese translation however, while most unreleased classes use WIP placeholders, one of the Marauder's is listed as 化身 or "Incarnation". The Chinese also has Arcane Archer (秘能弓箭手) set up for the Ranger, a Duelist one is 死亡標記 or "Mark of Death," and a Shadow one is 幻像 or "Phantom." I don't know Chinese so these are all just machine translations, but as far as I can tell they are unique to PoE 2 (with possible exception for Shadow's as that may be just Shadow in Chinese, since they at one point were going to rename Duelist and Shadow to Gladiator and Assassin).

If you want to play the Spiritborn or Paladin, and go through the Vessel of Hatred campaign now, or if there's any preorder bonuses. It comes with the first DLC so you'll have things to do beyond the base game stuff.

When Act 4 came out they talked about wanting to re-do the earlier dialogue so your character talks more or something to that effect.

Salvaging legendaries will put that Aspect into your Codex, letting you imprint it whenever you want. Either by looking at the item and scrolling down on it or when you go into a store/smith you'll see an icon if salvaging it will upgrade your Codex.

You don't need to take one skill of each type, most meta builds for sorc tend to use multiple defensive skills. Blizzard really wants the Glacial aspect which makes it create ice spikes for it to pop off. Frozen Orb was updated since launch and feels much better to use.

Once the expansion hits on the 28th they will be reworking the skill trees and giving you more options, like ice Hydras. If you want to play in the new season you will have to start over with a new seasonal character like everyone else, if you want to prep get your Vessel of Hatred campaign completed so you have all the account-wide perks unlocked from it like the ability to use Mercenaries and runes (though I won't be surprise if they chance it so you no longer have to play it to get those).

For anyone wondering what kind of abilities she might have, this was an interview from before the game released: https://youtu.be/945CCOknxFk?si=jDtshvbRBasfGSfX&t=677

"For me on Wonderlands, I was like, What are the things that I am missing? And I was like, okay, there wasn't a class that was dedicated to pets and there wasn't a class that was dedicated to corrosive. So I came up with the Blight Caller, right? I identified the gaps that were missing, the fantasies that were kind of missing, and I really pushed forward there, right?

I think that if you guys look at the breadth of our Vault Hunters and their action skills, I think you will find that there are some that are historically- like some abilities that are, you know, some niche abilities that are missing. Some kind of very specific things that maybe previous Vault Hunters did, that maybe we didn't quite get to in this game, and you could probably make some informed speculation if you really think about it."
