Each class also has its own choice between 3 Ascendancy classes, which offer further power and specialization to that certain class character, making it more excel at certain types of builds.
Moreover, each class in Path of Exile uses three main attributes – strength, dexterity, and intelligence, and that has a certain attribute affinity based on its location in the tree.
