Why Get Ascendancy Skill Points?

To Progress Your Ascendancy Class

The Ascendancy Class is essentially the specialization or sub-class of your main class. Allotting points into their exclusive skills can drastically change or improve your already set build, meaning there are more avenues for you to explore!

Furthermore, Ascendancy Skill Points are not in the same pool as your passive skills, meaning the Ascendancy Skills are an individual boost of power to add to your build.
