So im currently building around Arcane Ascendance.
I have tried 2 builds so far and both have bugs.
The easy one is that when speccing into Acuity in Arcane Ascendance the cooldown of the skill is not reduced to 2 seconds and the limit on channeling spells does not apply and the skill is only cancelled when i run out of mana.
The other build i tried was running Arcane Ascendance with Superconductor together with Energy Overflow in Focus.
This made it so that when i activate Arcane Ascendace the Focus skill most of the time deals no or reduced damage.
We’ve fixed Acuity internally but it hasn’t made it into a patch yet. I’m not able to reproduce the issue with Superconductor and Energy Overflow-- Energy Overflow dealt the same amount of damage in and out of Arcane Ascendance for me.
Could you post screenshots of your Arcane Ascendance and Focus trees?
To add to this you can get infinite spell power and cast speed before each arena wave if you want . If you wait to use a spell and take acuity you can increase your spell power up to 5 % a second and cast speed 1% a second until ascendence is finished . Even if you fix the bug it is based on spell usage so all you do is cast arcane ascendance, wait a few minutes , activate the next wave cycle and then destroy the mobs either by channeling or casting up to 12 spells before it is over . It’s broken like infinite ward a few patches back broken .
