Path of Exile Ascendancy's Unique Items By Rebecca Smith, 24 Feb 2016 CommentsWhen Ascendancy launches in less than two weeks, we're introducing many new Unique items. Today's news post showcases five of them.Malachai's Loop makes gaining Power Charges incredibly simple, but punishes players who get too greedy. The item really shines when used with spells like Discharge where you can control how the Power Charges are spent.Daresso's Passion grants a bonus for having no Frenzy Charges, but simultaneously makes it easier to acquire them. The trick will be finding a good method for consuming those Charges to maximise both benefits.While useful as a levelling shield, Glitterdisc also provides an extra layer of defence against fire damage. This includes fire damage that makes up only a portion of the hit.Some builds require that players kill a steady stream of foes to generate power or frenzy charges, or to activate trigger gems. The Writhing Jar serves as a portable source of enemies, so these builds will function even when monsters are scarce.Varunastra is a powerful weapon that counts as all one-handed weapon types. It works with all one-handed skills and benefits from all weapon-specific bonuses. This item is available exclusively in the upcoming Perandus Challenge Leagues (which will be announced early next week).Chris has also made a post that clarifies some information about Ascendancy and a manifesto post about changes to Zana.More Path of Exile stories: Path of Exile 3.3.1 Adds New Incursion Rooms Path of Exile Trailer Shows Off Bestiary Challenge Rewards Path of Exile: Bestiary Coming in March Path of Exile Previews Experimental Graphics Improvements Harbinger Supporter Packs Now Available for Path of Exile WindowsDLC Written by Rebecca SmithRebecca is the Newshound Manager at TrueSteamAchievements, TrueAchievements and TrueTrophies. She has been contributing articles since 2010, especially those that involve intimidatingly long lists. When not writing news, she can usually be found sharpening her very, VERY, pointy grammar stick in anticipation of its imminent use. Outside of TSA, TA and TT, she works in an independent game shop so that she can spend all day talking about games too. At home, with a variety of PCs and consoles on hand from which to choose, starting with a ZX Spectrum, games are never far away there either. However, as you're not supposed to have an unhealthy obsession with just a single subject, she also likes to read and dream about owning her own tribe of minions. She'll occasionally go outside.
