Redo an Ascendancy Trial

The first thing you need to do to respec into another Ascendancy is to redo an Ascendancy Trial. Do not leave the trial immediately after completing it, as you will need to interact with the Ascension Device to respec your Ascendancy.

You must choose a trial that grants you the same amount of Ascendancy Points you currently have. Here is a list of different level trials you can take on depending on the number of Ascension Points you need.

Unallocate All Ascendancy Passives Skills

Once you've cleared the Ascendancy Trial, speak to Balbala or The Trialmaster and choose to unallocate all of your Ascendancy Points.

Take note that unallocating a single Ascendancy Passive skill will cost five times more than respeccing a normal passive point.

How to Get More Ascendancy Skill Points

Use the Ascension Device

After resetting your Ascendancy Points, you can use the Ascension Device to select a new Ascendancy within the same class. Make sure none of your Ascendancy Points have been allocated, otherwise you won't be able to respec.

Why Respec Ascendancies?

Switch Builds to Clear Other Content

There are many different enemies in Path of Exile 2 so there may be times where you'll need to make adjustments to your build to deal with certain bosses.

Sometimes, swapping out a few pieces of gear won't be enough, so respeccing your Ascendancy could be what you need to clear that next objective.

Transition to Endgame

Respeccing Ascendancies can also be done to help you make the transition to endgame content. Some skills can be extremely helpful early on but become much less impactful as you gain access to more passives and equipment.
