Hi everyone! This video is to help people new to Ascension's random build mechanic for Season 9, but if you've never bothered to read patch notes, there may be some details helpful for experienced players as well. Had to take a break for IRL things, but good to be back and looking forward to more videos. Let me know what sort of content you'd like to see!
Recently just started playing. These have been helpful to try and understand everything. I would love to see some videos on Mystic Enchants, Professions, the various activities that are specific to Project Ascension (i.e. manastorm, etc...), and how best to level as the quests don't grey out so you know you need to move to a new level.
Then what I have coming up should be just what you want! Hopefully I get it out fast enough to be helpful for you. In the meantime, join the Ascension Discord and I'm often in the newcomer-questions channel.
Bummer. I’ve seen some reports of this by other players too. Best thing to do is just report the bug so they can fix it eventually. I’d give the ability just in case it’s relevant.
Hey would really like a video on some of the higher tier builds you can do solo. I dont have many friends and need a powerful build to do manastorm. Thank you and great vid
I will say another good strategy for getting upgrade rolls once your getting further into completeing your build. When you have your like 5-6 talents left your rolling for and upgrades. Keeping everything 2/2 3/3 and rolling the stuff thats 1/2 , 1/3 etc. it prevents you getting upgrade rolls on shitty talents you dont want. I get massive synergy upgrade rolls doing this when im nearing the end of a build. Also to force more synergy talent rolls in your favor. Try to take as many useless resurrection stype abilities that have no pool attached to them as your rollinn your talents. I do this to even further force synergy in our favor. Once i get more of what i want from talents ill go for outlier abilities that wpuldve caused synergy talent rolls to go out the window. Basically any class abilities that are needed but gonna really open up your synergy pool you want to save till the end and card in. That way you get the longest time possible getting juicy synergy.
Yeah I got some flack elsewhere about not specifically telling people to keep capped X/X talents even if they're bad for that reason, but that's kind of what I mean by focusing on the "outliers" where you get rid of all those talents that are going to soak or "waste" your synergy or upgrade rolls, and at least it lands on something you want or usable. Due to RNG, it's all 20/20 hindsight. I agree with the ability rolling strategy, but thought that was a bit much to ask a new player to research or balance and really isn't necessary or viable unless your skill card situation requires/enables you to do it. Good advice for min/maxxing an approach to a later build though. Thanks for sharing!
Golden is just another slot, but they are acquired by filling up the progress bar at the top of the pack opening window or buying with gold at Silas. There’s actually a section in the video all about skill cards and time stamped in that video’s description. They force the game to give you an ability the next time you roll and meet the level requirement. Only thing that has changed since chapter 2 is that you can slot a card at any time, even level 60, allowing you to keep your options open or activate cards you get after leveling. Hope that all helps.
I know this is an older video and something may have changed, but how are you rolling 4 abilities at level 1? I only got 1, is that a part of prestiging?
I have a few questions that I can’t find answers for . After I card something and then get it , is there anyway for me to reset the cards that I’ve picked, also what is the easiest way to get scrolls of fortune ?
You can reset your build, which includes the card slots, with the Prestige feature by talking to Chromie next to a call board in any capital city. The easiest and main way of getting scrolls and cards is doing the callboard dailies and turning in marks of ascension at Silas. After that, Manastorm farming is what most people do, but you also get more from raiding and mythic plus dungeons.
Hey. Great information even for a "oldie" without much time on the hands. I have been hunting for certain talents to (frozen chaos and three others) if anyone knows whats needed for frozen chaos, I would be ultra happy. I'm using corrupted maelstrom with felcleave n felblade abilities, have ice lance, frostbolt and cone of cold. Haven't seen this in a little bit over 2M marks. Have I messed something up so it's blocked? On other builds I feel like it pops up fairly often. Thanks for the video m8
By "block" it pretty much just means don't get stuff that's outside what you want. As long as you have something that synergizes with it, you will be able to roll it. Sounds like you have plenty of things that will synergize with frozen chaos, probably just good ol' RNG.
Mostly, but I have a couple guilds that I've made friends in and raid with when I can. Depends on IRL schedule mostly. There's a good number of guilds that are welcoming to newer players or don't require the most broken specs.
I understand that this season is random on what you can get but finding baseline builds on youtube or google will usually wind up with old and possibly outdated setups. So as new players where do you go to find build templates to help navigate the jungle of randomness to know what abilities and passives synergize?
I eventually will get into build videos, but the best source is just playing with other people, looking at the DPS meter breakdowns and talking to them. But if you're trying to cook yourself, I spend some time in the Ascension database on their website. You can also look at the older builds from previous seasons, as the synergies with the premade LREs can still be relevant.
That can be true, but for the context of this conversation it’s also where guides are, as well as the shattered spell details for S9. I think “mostly useless” is a little overkill.
Don't play on this server it isn't even remotely balanced and op builds are promoted and catered too so doing anything else is pointless don't bother with this

I still roll same talents in a span of 15 rolls, the Bad luck protection don't seem to work properly
Bummer. I’ve seen some reports of this by other players too. Best thing to do is just report the bug so they can fix it eventually. I’d give the ability just in case it’s relevant.
Same issue here. The system is not working properly. I saw the same skill or talent after a couple of rolls again.

what is the difference between regular and golden skill cards? How do they even work? You kinda skipped over that in the new player guide
Golden is just another slot, but they are acquired by filling up the progress bar at the top of the pack opening window or buying with gold at Silas.

This bad luck protection doesnt really work. I have had a talent show up in the next roll after i had decided to reroll it
I know this is an older video and something may have changed, but how are you rolling 4 abilities at level 1? I only got 1, is that a part of prestiging?
yeah this was recently changed. You now get them gradually from 1-10.
everytime i prestige i get shit build so they didnt fix anything or i dont have bad luck protection at all i see 1 ability every 3 rerol lel
I have a few questions that I can’t find answers for . After I card something and then get it , is there anyway for me to reset the cards that I’ve picked, also what is the easiest way to get scrolls of fortune ?

@@ProjectAscensionHub aah the gold old gamblers luck is in play :')
So do you play solo in this version? Like do raids and dungeons on your own?
Mostly, but I have a couple guilds that I've made friends in and raid with when I can. Depends on IRL schedule mostly. There's a good number of guilds that are welcoming to newer players or don't require the most broken specs.

@@ProjectAscensionHub database is mostly useless. Super out of date

Sounds like a skill issue
This is the worst and most grindy, boring version of wow.
