Ascendancy passive trees
An Ascendancy class is a subclass that grants access to a passive tree specific to the chosen character class.
How it works
The source says every character has an opportunity to gain an Ascendancy class, described as a subclass, and that it grants access to a class-specific Ascendancy skill tree. It does not list Ascendancy classes, node effects, or how the opportunity is earned. The record therefore covers the tree’s stated role without extending it into unsupported class or progression details.
Read the supporting references
A source-bounded reference to Path of Exile’s passive skill tree, passive allocation and refunds, jewels and jewel interactions, and active skill gems. The sources do not provide a supported list of specific active gem choices or their effects, so this reference focuses on named passive-tree structures and jewel interactions. Guidance explains the referenced mechanics; it is not a tested damage ranking. Check the stated edition and source version before applying a patch-specific detail.
