I liked Calisca, so I thought I would pop out a portrait for her. Two are just from POE1, so I watercolored them and did am image flip to match better.

Yeah, I was thinking about getting things that were low on cast-time/recovery to make the Ascendant worth it. From what I saw on the skills list, it looks like there's a few skills that are really fast on recovery time and cast time, making spamming those out really nice. My only concern is being so MAD with distributing my points.

Probably Inquisitor Ciphers were always seemed cool, but I want to keep being a Bleak Walker from my POE1 game.

* NOTE: I am something of a difficulty fetishist (though not on the first couple of playthroughs). But even I realize that it's a side challenge that the vaaaaaaast majority of the user base not only won't care about, but would be upset to find out that things were cut just so folks like us could scratch an itch. By the way, it would be extremely interesting to know what percentage of players do more than one playthrough (you mentioned "first couple", and this caught my eye). In my view, PoE 1 had a replay value of exactly zero: there was nothing random in the game, and the world was totally static except for the choices you made as a player. I really liked playing the game, but having got to the end, I can't see why I would ever want to start another game. (No criticism implied here.) Different builds and different outcomes for the endings/sidequests that you didn't see the first time. From what I also know, there are going to be NG+ options as well to add complications or bonuses for another playthrough.

Seemed to work okay for me. I would like to know how you do it Karkarov.

Anyone play around with this. I was thinking of continuing my POE1 character (Bleak Walker + Guns) with a Bleak Walker + Ascendant with blunderbusses to build focus real quick. Anything wrong with this idea on its face? High Dex/Per/Might/Int Might spread it too thin, although I don't know much about the stat distribution changes in PoE2.

They already said that the critical path of PoTD is going to be too easy, so people blowing through it without a care is probably not a high concern at the moment.
