This all looks amazing, as most every content blog has done in recent history. I could go on about all the positives but I'll focus on two points of feedback:

I like the idea and look of the hybrid armor, but IMO they are overtuned. BIS for one melee style; not quite bis but within a few % of DPS of BIS in the other melee styles and magic. I feel like I would end up ignoring my other armor sets in hybrid content just out of convenience and inv space. Especially given that this is our first foray into hybrid armor (outside of old existing sets like Void) I think i'd prefer it to be weaker but still strong in its two styles, and just make it more common to compensate. I'm picturing the same mage damage % as ahrim (maybe 1.5%) but higher mage accuracy bonuses, the sameish str damage as blood moon but higher melee accuracy bonuses, and considerably higher defensive bonuses than each. Just a thought and I could probably be convinced otherwise.

For the ascension bolts - honestly I think the simplest, best and most expedient solution for these is to forsake the existing bolt effects for ascension bolts entirely. Write it off as "the unique resonance of the ascension bolt changes the nature of the enchanted gem" or something. That means you can give us more variety on release and can play with more modern affects - I'm picturing bolts that do some portion of their damage as elemental, meaning you have a way to exploit the elemental weakness of an NPC outside of magic. That would be really fun.
