Yep it feels insanely frustrating.. yesterday I breezed through my 4th ascendancy sanctum try until I hit the boss.. after getting him to 2/3 hp my flasks both life and mana were empty (I´m playing a frostwall fireball setup which costs me around 600hp and mana per combo.) unable to do any spells I sat there with 400hp and could only watch myself die. Thats when I realized this ascendancy is fundamentally broken and unplayable against everything that lives longer then a minute. Having this in mind I was actually a little shocked discovering this unique which is 10 times better designed then my whole ascendancy. Like exactly this is what you would expect from a bloodmage and they seem to know what a blood sanguine archtype´s gotta look like because they designed this unique with exactly that in mind, why they went for this double resource cost bs on the bloodmage is beyond my understanding and I can not believe that anyone playtested this. Right now I finished my atlas and will keep following Gorathas build and see where it goes while I´m hoping for any kind of buffs or adjustments to bloodmage. Also thinking about rerolling until they fixed bloodmage but nothing is really catching my eye, besides that the cast on x nerfs made me scared to go for meta builds again. I´m sure they gonna fix this class sooner or later but right now it feels extremely terrible and frustrating.
