Gemling is NOT the Most OP Ascendancy w/ Scorpius - The Path 2 Exile Podcast Ep. 62

Scorpius joins the podcast this week and makes the case that Martial Artist, not Gemling, might actually be the real S-tier ascendancy.We kick things off with the news that Timmy's Hardcore League is coming back, then get into a big-picture discussion on Endless Atlas progression and the tension between bloat and specialization in build design. From there we cover the current Sword hype (and the accompanying Dagger copium), combo gameplay, and a genuinely heated debate over Bone Shatter, Whirling Slash, and speed-tech. We talk through whether boots should just give move speed outright, our complicated feelings on Sprint, and why GGG needs to get a handle on the Cast-on-X meta. The back half is all ascendancies: ranking the ones nobody talks about, making the real case for Martial Artist over Gemling, roasting the mogged ascendancies, and closing out with a hot take on whether "perfected" builds are ruining the game.
