There is a whole range of news from the world of Wraeclast. The developers of Path of Exile have released a new video with an outlook on what to expect in the additional act 7. In addition, there were details on how the Ascendancy class of the Scion "Ascendant" is being revised.

Scions have been living in the shadows for a while and these improvements are set to make them popular again.

The Slayer got the most improvements, the Elementalist, the Assassin and the Necromancer also seem to have become playable. However, one should not cheer too early, because the numbers and changes can be modified at any time in the beta for the Path of Exile expansion "The Fall of Oriath".

The community has put together an overview of all changes on Reddit, which you can find below.

The beta is scheduled to start on June 7th and all information about participation can be found on the Path of Exile Homepage Find. The video with the teasers from Act 7 can be found at the beginning of the article.
