TOP 5 Most Popular Ascendant League Starter Build
POE 3.8 Freeze Mine + Ice Spear Mine Ascendant League Starter Build
INTRO:
This is my casual take on Icicle Mines not following any guides and just using the knowledge gathered in few leagues. Thus as a disclaimer, this guide would not be for everyone but more of an inspiration as to what could work. As 3.8 came out with new mines, Icicle mines seemed like a good AOE clear option due to the crit chance build up and in all honesty the sweet sweet sound of enemies shattering into million tiny pieces. As far as the build goes currently, it deals with any pack easily and effortlessly. Bosses can be dealt with just Icicle mines up to Red Maps but might be a bit more running about, that is why this build also utilizes a helmet craft for a 6L Ice Spear mines for melting tough bois.
Hope this will help whoever is interested in Ascendant Miner. I certainly felt going sabo felt too mainstream, have to be a hipster.
PROS & CONS:
+ Everything Shatters, Spiky bois? Gone. That enemy that tried to one hit you? Frozen and in million pieces.
+ Damage is reasonable but needs some min-maxing to 1 button press endgame.
+ You laugh at blight branching
+ Alot of crit multi and chance from almost nothing.
+ SSF Friendly.
- Mines aren't for everyone but with 3.8 changes work more smoothly.
- Defensively respectable HP but could do more. Blind helps alot but not for HC in no way.
- Lacks deeps within blight maps with 6+ bosses.
ASCENDANCY:
1. Dex/Int and Passive towards Saboteur
2. Saboteur and Dex Node towards Pathfinder
3. Passive Point and Pathfinder
4. Either get attributes if you need but Passives outshine Attributes.
BANDITS: Kill All.
PANTHEON:
Major God - Soul of Solaris
Minor God - Soul of Shakari
GEMS SETUP:
Icicle Mine
Icicle Mine -> Trap and Mine Damage -> Controlled Destruction -> Swift Assembly -> 5L Pierce -> 6L If you don't shatter enough Hypothermia or if you do Cold Pen.
There's also Chain and Fork players but uncertain how that would function. You are always free to try out.
Ice Spear (Helmet)
Ice Spear -> Controlled Destruction -> Swift Assembly -> Greater Multiple Proj + Hypothermia and Blastchain from the helmet.
Others
Frostbite + Blasphemy
Frost bomb
Skitterbots + Bonechill or Unbound Ailments

POE 3.8 Elemental Hit Ascendant Build - Uber Elder Guide
INTRO:
In POE 3.8, Elemental Hit saw a huge revamp, and it has come to be a premiere potential for each MF and Bossing. The superb bossing has been shown by nine undertaking this quite impressive 2 minute Uber Elder Kill. Winds have shown the insane clearspeed of Elemental Hit with his Magic Locate Deadeye version from the developer. This guide is going to be the culmination of my research and presenting what I really feel would be the best all-around version of Elemental Hit for folks who desire to try the capacity out. Like my other guides, I'll present options for you to select from and I usually encourage individuals to work with the guide as a guideline for taking the things you like and making the create your very own! My point of view all through most of this guide is that of a Softcore player planning to do each of the content within the game having a single develop so I'll learn a lot more towards a single target than clearspeed.

+ Resolute Technique
+ Unique Items Heavy

POE 3.8 Ice Dancing Queen - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI Ascendant Build
INTRO:
In POE 3.8, This is a version of my Whispering Ice build for the Cyclone era. The main idea is to be super tanky and faceroll everything in your way without having to dodge almost anything. No boss is too hard, most are too easy. All maps with most any mods are a joke. I've been using this build to do 40/40 challenges on my own merit in many leagues, this is my go-to build to get things done. This build is based on The Whispering Ice unique staff.
Icestorm damage scales from Int, therefore Int is the main stat. The build is immune to stun, shock, ignite, all forms of chaos damage, and partially immune to chill and freeze. Key mechanics: Chaos Inoculation, Zealot's Oath, ES leech, cold damage, 2 curses, Elemental Overload, Arcane Surge, Flesh and Stone, Arctic Armour, Cyclopean Coil.
PROS & CONS:
+ All content did
+ Amazing feeling and the pleasure of playing
+ Boss killer
+ Solid clearspeed
+ Great Lab Farmer
+ Tanky
+ This is an Attack but still a caster playstyle
+ Easy to start gearing, just stack the int
- Cant do ele reflect map
- endgame corrupt can cost

POE 3.8 Cyclone + Discharge Ascendant Build
INTRO:
You will find several approaches to play cast on crit at the moment, with unique spells frostbolt, ice nova, arc, and weapon and ascendancy possibilities. High base crit daggers with crafted 'Hits can't be evaded' and spell harm mods make it ensure that you do not even require Lycosidae or Assassin, and you can go for any ascendancy, But you lose the more proc from Cospri's. I wanted to play the old cast on crit discharge with Cospri's and not crafted daggers, and I didn't actually find any guides for ascendant that I liked so right here we are. I tested dual comprises vs a 'hit's can not be evaded' weapon and they've comparable damage.
PROS & CONS:
+ Decent map clearer.
+ Pretty good single target.
- Bit expensive to get going.
- Clear isn't as great as before cause of the shield charge change.
ASCENDANCY:
1. Inquisitor
2. Path of the Templar
3. Berserker

Help Alira.

POE 3.8 CI Mjolner CoC Ball Lightning Ascendant Build
INTRO:
In this build guide, I'd like to share my Scion build using Mjolner/CoC/ball lightning. This build can clear maps fast, deal with insane damage, and is tanky. Overall, this build is very strong, and I can recommend it to anyone who has some currency. I'm playing this build as Assassin in this patch. I feel Assassin is better than Scion for this build now because Assassin can get a lot of ms boost. The advantage of Scion is that she can get strength and dex easily. I will write a guide for the assassin version next weekend. Meanwhile, you can check my character stat if you are interested.
PROS & CONS:
+ Great clear speed
+ Great single target damage
+ Tanky
+ Smooth playstyle–you don't have to cast a travel skill to proc arcane surge or fortify
+ Great sustain
+ All map mods possible
- Not league starter friendly
- Can deal significant damage to your computer due to a large number of hits per second
