Respeccing Ascendancy Classes

Redoing an Ascendancy Trial now allows you to respec which Ascendancy Class you have chosen at the Ascension device, but only if the Trial would grant you the number of points you already have.
In order to respec your Ascendancy class, you must have zero points allocated in it, but you can now talk to Balbala or The Trialmaster to Refund Passive Points.
Trials of Chaos that have 7 chambers and thus grant up to 4 Ascendancy Passive Skill Points now can be attempted from level 55, down from 60.
Trials of Chaos that have 10 chambers and thus grant up to 6 Ascendancy Passive Skill Points can now be attempted from level 65, down from 75.

In Path of Exile 2, you can now respec your Ascendancy Class, but it’s not a quick or effortless process.

Step-by-Step Process to Respec Ascendancy Class

Step	Action	Details

2	Access a Compatible Trial	Complete a trial (7 or 10 chambers) that matches the number of points you had before refunding.

4	Open the Respec Interface	Choose your new Ascendancy Class via the available UI.

Important Notes and Tips

Tip	Explanation
Efficient Leveling	Plan your character's progression to align with updated trial level requirements (Level 55 and 65).
Save Passive Refund Points	You’ll need passive refund points if you've spent points within your Ascendancy tree.
Trial Repetition	You are allowed to redo trials as long as they qualify for the point requirement.
Switching Classes	Only available once all points in the current Ascendancy are refunded. This prevents abuse or mid-tree switching.
