Identity
Ritualist is Huntress's corpse-sacrifice and jewelry Ascendancy: it lets you steal a sacrificed Rare monster's modifiers for a time (or spend your own Life for a random one instead), stacks extra value out of every Ring and Amulet you wear, and builds toward recovering Life faster the more of it you're missing — at the cost of reduced Spirit and maximum Mana from a couple of its supporting small passives.
Notables
Small passives
- 3% increased Attributes
- 15% increased Physical Damage
- -20% to all Elemental Resistances
- 3% increased Movement Speed
- 15% increased Charm Charges gained (this passive appears twice on the tree; taking both stacks the bonus)
- 25% reduced Spirit
- 10% increased Life Recovery rate (a separate small passive from Wildwood Persistence above — both apply if taken)
- 30% reduced maximum Mana
Keystone
Ritualist has no keystone-tier node of its own.
Practical notes
- Ritual Sacrifice's two uses are genuinely different tools: sacrificing a Rare's corpse gives you one of its actual modifiers for a limited time, while the self-sacrifice option trades a flat chunk of your own Life for a random Monster Modifier that replaces whatever you had from a previous self-sacrifice — the two aren't meant to be compared directly, since one requires a specific kill and the other doesn't.
- Wildwood Persistence and the separate Life Recovery Rate small passive stack — taking both means your Life recovery scales both from a flat bonus and from how much Life you're missing, which rewards playing at lower Life more than either alone would.
- The -25% Spirit, -30% maximum Mana, and -20% Elemental Resistance small passives are real costs on this Ascendancy's tree, not conditional penalties tied to any specific notable — budget for them when planning Spirit-reliant Skills or resistance caps.
- Unfurled Finger's extra Ring Slot is a clean, no-strings bonus on its own — the drawback passives near it on the tree are optional small passives you can skip if you don't need the small passives they're bundled with.
