Did You Know That One Of The Most Underrated Classes In POE 2 Early Access? - Chayula Of Acolyte
POE 2 Early Access has been out for a long time, and players have a deep understanding of the various classes in it. However, Acolyte of Chayula is one of the least used classes. Do players really understand it?
Path of Exile 2 Early Access has already brought a variety of professions to everyone in the early access version. These professions not only have iconic weapons, but also have gems with unique skills. And the official also said that more classes will be brought to everyone in the future updates, which makes players very happy and look forward to the emergence of new classes.
Introducing new classes and unlimited construction potential for players based on the voice of players makes it stand out from many games. However, players still need to be aware that each class is not perfect, and it is very difficult to get the class you want. Players need to obtain a sufficient number of POE 2 Divine Orbs in advance through various means, such as defeating bosses and trading with players, so that they can have a higher chance of survival in the war.
For example, some players believe that melee classes are inherently at a disadvantage because of their nature of having to face difficulties, but casters and bow or crossbow users can attack enemies from a distance. This also reflects, to a certain extent, the low usage rate of Acolyte of Chayula in terms of player usage.
Acolyte Of Chayula Is Seriously Underestimated
In fact, Acolyte of Chayula is an incomplete class, because it focuses on Chaos Damage, which requires it to be obtained through Essence Drain or Poison builds, but often fails due to the lack of key skills of Daggers and Spear weapon Skill Gems. Moreover, in POE 2, this special Ascendancy has multiple layers of defense to help players resist bosses and Waystones to the greatest extent.
A huge feature of Chayula's Gift is that it can make Chaos Resistance one of the most powerful sets of characters alone, which is very powerful for non-Chaos Inoculation builds. Moreover, Walking Dream's Into Breach skill is also an extremely powerful tool. Not only does it not limit players to specific builds, but it can also provide players with additional sustainability, which is very important for players entering the end game.
The weakest part of Acolyte of Chayula is to embrace Darkness and its follow-up nodes, mainly because Spirit is too powerful to give up. In general, although players have their own choices, it is a pity that Acolyte of Chayula has not been used more frequently. After all, it is well designed by the developers and can bring many choices to players.
Do Ladders Reveal The Best And Worst Classes?
Because Ladders are based on player experience, many of the highest rankings are obtained by players with the most experience. Although the previous Ladders cannot show players the whole situation, they still reflect the worst class of the players at that time.
Whether it is the usage rate of Standard Ladder or Hardcore Ladder, Acolyte of Chayula is far behind other classes. For example, Stormweaver's Standard Ladder is as high as 43.4%, while Acolyte of Chayula is only 0.7%.
These numbers reflect the advantages and disadvantages of certain classes to a certain extent. For example, although Invoker is a melee class, it is usually one of the most commonly used classes in both ladders because of its multi-layered defense and strong destructive potential with elemental damage.
Another interesting example is that Infernalist is more popular in Hardcore. Because in the game, their use affects the effects of certain Ascendancies. Therefore, in Hardcore, players are more inclined to use it. However, some professions, such as Witchhunter, Acolyte of Chayula, and Warbringer, are overshadowed in these two ladders.
Indeed, each class has advantages and disadvantages, but I also hope that players will not stick to the existing game methods. Maybe by trying more classes, you will find their hidden potential!
