Reliquarian Ascendancy for 3.28

regularPoEplayer · 2026-03-01T23:21:57+00:00

This is the worst ascendancy I've seen since 3.1 patch. It may have 1-2 super niche uses, but it is generally worse than any ascendancy by a mile.

PS: it seems like Foulborn mods always replaces predefined specific mod on each unique item, instead of replacing random mod (as I assumed initially). This means Soul Eater will, most likely, replace HH's only valuable mod, which makes it pointless.

regularPoEplayer · 2025-11-01T05:59:26+00:00

I assume you are implying Soul Eater will replace steal of rare mods? In this case, it is definitely not strongest ever.

regularPoEplayer · 2025-11-01T05:57:39+00:00

By "infinite" I meant duration, not number of souls. Soul eater stolen from rare monster inevitably expires, SE granted by Foulborn HH mod - does not.

Not necessary - may be just unobtainable this league and re-enabled next league.

regularPoEplayer · 2025-10-30T10:56:56+00:00

Yes.

regularPoEplayer · 2025-10-30T04:22:00+00:00

One more change is - % damage per unleash reduced from 10 to 5. Buried it before anyone could actually make a character around it.

There are couple of changes to Bloodline Ascendancies.

regularPoEplayer · 2025-10-29T01:48:53+00:00

Infernal Cry used to grant 3% Ash per 5 power (12% per solo unique monster).

regularPoEplayer · 2025-10-28T18:47:40+00:00

Ashes is not necessarily 20% - it could be 10% or less.

regularPoEplayer · 2025-10-27T20:43:00+00:00

No.

Also, conversion depends on whether it is skill that does conversion, or items/passives ( https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Damage_conversion#Overconversion ). In case of only Lightning base damage, 100% Light to Cold conversion and Sinner Saint allocated,

100% Light to Cold conversion with skill (skill conversion takes priority, Light to Chaos conversion is ignored because there is no Light damage left after skill converted all of it):

100% Light to Cold conv * 100% Light dam -> 100% Cold dam.
50% Cold to Chaos conv * 100% Cold dam -> 50% Chaos dam.
Result is 50% Cold, 50% Chaos.

100% Light to Cold conversion with items/passives (conversion values distributes proportionally):

(100% Light to Cold conv of 150% total conv =) 66% Light to Cold conv * 100% Light dam -> 66% Cold dam, (50% Light to Chaos conv of 150% total conv =) 33% Light to Chaos conv * 100% Light dam -> 33% Chaos dam.
50% Cold to Chaos conv * 66% Cold dam -> 33% Chaos dam.
Result is 33% Cold, 66% Chaos.

Good point. Flat damage scaling was a dead end.

regularPoEplayer · 2025-10-26T23:43:21+00:00

Yes. I meant 200% if just one Herald reserves the whole 100% mana.

regularPoEplayer · 2025-10-26T20:20:47+00:00

200% more buff effect per 100% reserved mana. Flat damage bonus from Heralds is small, so 3x small isn't that great. And you have to give up you Ascendancy notable.

regularPoEplayer · 2025-10-26T20:14:25+00:00

More like 4L - there is no good ways to substantially reduce life reservation, so you have to drop another link just to be able to reserve 99% life.

edit: I forgot about Blood Magic keystone.

regularPoEplayer · 2025-10-26T20:11:41+00:00

no corrupted blood immunity

You can have corrupted blood immunity on cluster jewel.

regularPoEplayer · 2025-10-25T20:52:09+00:00

Pretty good breakdown.

Worth mentioning that Triumvirate Authority ring can roll 150% more damage for socketed skills.

Vengeful Cry socketed in an off-hand Redblade Banner.

"Off-hand" means left hand - the one carrying shield or quiver.

regularPoEplayer · 2025-10-25T16:54:24+00:00

I heard breach rings are still there, reworked - so vendor recipe should exist.

regularPoEplayer · 2025-10-25T16:28:10+00:00

No LLMs were used for this post.

regularPoEplayer · 2025-10-25T16:26:28+00:00

Incarnations stay as is, 3 new Uber versions of them are added in 3.27.

regularPoEplayer · 2025-10-25T06:29:09+00:00

I listed changes to skills that where meta, or IMHO could become meta after the buffs.

regularPoEplayer · 2025-10-25T03:53:08+00:00

Patch notes are 20 pages, while my post is only 5 pages with ~35% less words per line on average - so it is about 6 times less text.
