Martial Artist: Full Ascendancy Breakdown

Notables

• Way of the Mountain — Gain Mountain's Teachings (up to 30 stacks) on Immobilizing an enemy. While holding stacks: your Attacks and Attacks granted by this Ascendancy deal 15% more damage; enemy hits that would deal 30% or less of your maximum Life deal 40% less damage; you have 50% more Stun Threshold. Lose a stack when Hit, or when using/sustaining an Attack that benefits from Mountain's Teachings. (One source lists meaningfully higher figures — 20% more damage and 70% less small-hit damage — but three independent sources agree on the 15%/40%/50% figures above and no patch note documents a nerf between the two readings, so the higher figures are treated as an error rather than a real prior value.)
• Way of the Stonefist — Your equipped Gloves' base type transforms into Fists of Stone while worn (reverting to normal if unequipped), and their explicit modifiers transform into more powerful related modifiers; you can ignore attribute requirements to equip Gloves. The Fists of Stone base itself grants +3 Evasion Rating and +1 maximum Energy Shield per character level. (The specific modifier-conversion table — which mod becomes which — is still being actively confirmed community-side as of this research; treat any specific conversion example as provisional rather than a complete or final list.)
• Martial Adept — When you gain Combo, gain an additional Combo; -0.2 seconds to current Energy Shield Recharge delay per Combo expended when using Skills.
• Martial Master — Gain Combo from all Attack Hits; Skills can build and retain Combo regardless of which Weapon Set is active.
• Runic Meridians — Grants 5 additional rune-only sockets, split across gear slots: 1 in Helmet, 2 in Body Armour, 1 in Gloves, 1 in Boots.
• Hollow Focus Technique — Grants Hollow Focus: summons ethereal bells within a 3-metre radius, spawning every 2.05–3 seconds (scaling with gem level and Cooldown Recovery Rate), each lasting 21 seconds, capped at 3 active bells. Your Hits destroy bells for a shockwave dealing 90–237% Attack Damage (gem levels 1–20) in a 2.3-metre radius, causing Heavy Stun on enemies already Primed for Stun. Requires a Melee Martial Weapon. (Two sources instead give a 4-metre radius, 5-second duration, and 4.1-second spawn interval — three other independent sources agree with each other on the figures above, so the 4m/5s/4.1s reading is treated as incorrect rather than an alternate value.)
• Hollow Resonance Technique — Grants Hollow Resonance: a permanent bell on your back that rings on Critical Hits with your other Skills, on a 0.5-second cooldown usable up to 3 times before a full reset. Rings deal 60–497% of base Attack Damage (gem levels 1–40) in a 2-metre radius, with 150% more Stun buildup (plus up to 30% more from Quality).
• Hollow Form Technique — Grants Hollow Form: a channeled skill summoning temporary illusions ("Images") that perform your socketed Melee Attack before vanishing. Creating an Image costs 80% of the socketed skill's normal cost; socketed Skills have 30% less Attack Speed and deal 15% less Damage while channeled through Images. Consumes a Power Charge to create 2 additional Images (Quality grants 0–10% chance to not remove the Power Charge while still counting it as consumed). Images can be created within a 6-metre radius. Images cannot perform Channelled or Conditional Skills, and socketed Skills used this way cannot consume Charges.
