Not possible in Poe 1 and not possible in poe 2
What other ARPGS have an ascendancy class that you can freely swap around?
You're locked in on Torchlight, Last Epoch, Grim Dawn
D4 doesn't have sub-classes

You said most game in this gerne it is possible, I just gave you 6 games that don't, what other arpgs are people playing? What game lets you change your sub class around?

Many classes & weapons are still not in the game, who knows, maybe one of them will make your blood mage really fun?

I'd just make another character and leave this one there, if you're not enjoying it, you may want to return in a future update.

You're locked in on Torchlight, Last Epoch, Grim Dawn (never played, I guess you can cheat the game files to change your mastery)
D4 doesn't have sub-classes

You could change your ascendancy in PoE.....

I haven't tried in PoE2 yet. Guess it might be worth seeing if its possible.

In poe 1 you could change ascendency of the class by unspeccing all points in your current one and redoing the first lab. The base class however was always locked. Maybe they'll allow a similar ascendency respec in 2 as well as it's kind of tedious if you don't know how things work and you just want to try stuff - but I wouldn't hold my breath for it.

i read it is possible in poe 2. you have to respec every point out of the ascendy tree and do the lab again, now it shoud be possible to swap the class.

bro, you made a choice, you dont like the outcome, now you want a handout? Start over and stop expecting a handout

Personally, I think they should add a free tree reset for any player up to the ascend that serves as a tutorial... the goal of a game is to learn above all, and the system is not open to a new player discovering POE...

For the moment some explanations of the talents are not clear, What is the "drain of life" and how does it apply and on what basis? How does the % of freeze work and is it applied on what basis? Offering a free de-spec would allow new players to try and test things rather than starting a new hero or farm the gold for that.
A training room with a combat dummy would also be good to test your DPS/effects, etc...
At least we know at the end which ascendancy we prefer, because well, theory building is good for 2 minutes when we have time to do mathematics.

I know every game is different, but there would be more players on POE with better support for beginners and new players.
I know there is a seasonal system but it doesn't appeal to everyone, but that's just my feeling.

I think the theory in beta is they don't want people speccing out of the worse builds. They are amassing data in the background remember. How many times Monks struggled in act 1 vs Witches and so on...

If they allowed class respecs everyone would switch to the broken OP classes. Same for ascendancies. I do think however they should just make respeccing cheaper in EA though to allow us to experiment.

you have 5k hours on hunt so you are used to do the same over and over again just level a new class

Tbf infernalist is the most tanky class atm in the game thanks to hellhound and mana recoupe beeing completly broken with 4k+ mana and 400+ mana reg.

You can actually tank mechanics and high tier map bosses which are intended to dodge or get oneshotted.

So the op has a good point to specc out of a accension which is just bad to one of the best atm for high tier braindead mapping.
