Is there a list of what earns you RP in the new league? (Or an old one to reference?) I've never really understood the race rewards.

Once they have the actual races on the schedule they will all have what level earns you what points.

Basically you get a certain amount of points for reaching certain level ranges. Once you get enough points to get the race rewards they get added to your stash in a remove only tab which you can take the item out of the tab and then use. This does not take away any points that you earned. And for most races they give out random rewards prizes which function the exact same way.

e - you can leave the remove only tabs in your stash for as long as you like, and then after 1 month they will become available in the new leagues. Really thinking of doing that with the Whispering Ice as that should be a great looking 3d model.

So i picked up an Item level 51 two stone ring, used an alch orb on it and goes +16% fire and cold with +20% fire, +26% lightning and +19% cold resist. I want to use my level 5 elron for life which isn't that great but want to know if i can "exchange" or "remove" the crafted mod later without affecting the resist?

Sweet alch. You can, you just need to get Elreon up to level 7 or ask someone else to do it.

How much life% and es% from the passive tree do you guys like for a hybrid life/es character for SC? I have 154% life and 179% ES with 105 points spent in my planned tree. It IS a Whispering Ice build so it's fairly safe by nature, I could easily drop ES for more Int and damage.

It is worth noting that 10% less damage per totem actually makes a huge difference. 4 totems deal as much as 2.62 totems without any damage penalties (with much more consistent damage and more covered area). 5 totems actually deal less than a normal 3 totem build. But then you still have your three free five links from Illuminated Devotion or your free charges from Conviction of Power.

You also get 32% cast speed with 4 totems out from Pursuit of Faith so that should help out with the less damage per totem thing. Thats a lot of cast speed.

Flasks are super duper insanely good. Look at this fukken build that abuses the absolute poo poo out of flasks. An entire ascendancy class with more flask nodes has tons of potential. Although I do think the first ranger ascendancy class (sharpshooter? forgot the name), is also extremely good.

theres a templar ascendancy class which gets +2 totems, is 4 spark totems going to be a thing? also does the "less" damage on totems also apply to minions? i am also thinking 4 raging spirit totems maybe with the minion explode on death passive

I think if you want to go totems, you take the 2 extra totems notable and then don't take ancestral bond so you save the 4-5 points there. You only get 3 totems, but then the penalty to damage isn't so high. Its a slight boost over the max of 2 totems and no damage penalty, but if you use a good AOE spell you will be able to overlap bosses and get more damage in.

Reason I asked; I had a char on THC with 5.5k life I was toying with (RF+Vortex) a few weeks ago.
Ran up to some rare monster (talisman) and insta-ripped.
No losing life as in that movie; instantly dead.
I understand that if I didn't use a movement skill I could have seen / checked it, but seeing how two normal monster types can apply the buff...
Makes me reconsider playing Vortex on HC a bit.
Hoping I am missing something?

Probably a dead hand talisman. The leeches explode doing chaos damage and so does the possessed monster. Having to get so close with vortex, and because vortex hits them so fast makes them more dangerous. Was it a monsters do extra damage map?

Its one of the reason why I won't make an HC end game build around vortex. You need to have top notch defenses for it.

Dual Righteous Fire Totems are kind of fun for a totem build. Nice thing is that the 2 uniques (only one is mandatory) that are great for the build are less than a chaos each. Plus the totems cost zero mana.

I'm totally playing an RF totem build next league, though.

I'm trying now in THC and its working quite well. Been using https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1510181 as a guide for it.

All you need is a Spire of Stone Jewel, and a Doedre's Scorn Helm and you are good to go. Then all you need is 12% totem life gems which will be better than more Spire jewels unless you take lovely +10 strength nodes. A +1 curse item is also really good, especially with the Chief as you don't have to run Purity of Fire anymore and can run 3x blasphemy curses with the reduced mana reservation nodes by templar.

I've seen a little confusion about a few topics. Rather than replying to each individual post, I'd like to quickly clarify some things about Ascendancy's launch and our timeline over the next few weeks.

Ascendancy isn't a challenge league. Perandus is the challenge league. All the Ascendancy content is of course added to the full game itself, so Standard players can participate in everything other than the Perandus league.
While it's too early to reveal the league details, I can clarify that the Perandus league takes place 100% outside the Labyrinth. While the Labyrinth is awesome and I'll be basically living in it for months once Ascendancy comes out, we wanted to make sure that players have some new content in the regular game as well.
Full information about the Perandus challenge league will be released early next week.
The Standard and Hardcore versions of the new league are identical in terms of mechanics and Unique Items available.
Over the next week, news posts will reveal new Unique Items, Enchantments, the specifics of the Perandus Challenge League, etc.
There will be some manifesto posts over the next week. I don't yet know the exact timing of when they're going up.
Patch Notes will be posted a couple of days before release.
We'll try to make skill tree JSON data available (for tools) as soon as it's ready. This is tricky because of all the format changes needed to support Ascendancy classes.
The final Ascendancy Class will be announced later this week with the help of a special Australian friend.
Some Alpha testers will be given permission to stream their Ascendancy play later this week.
Our first wave of trade API updates will likely be pushed live sometime before the release of Ascendancy. This update contains some new functionality, but we'll go into more detail in the news when it's live. Please manage your expectations. It's not a huge overhaul and is only the first of many changes.
There is a San Francisco Developer/Fan Meetup on Sunday March 13. I'll post more info closer to the date.

last edit - Kripp is going to be streaming some 2.2 alpha content wed night.

Yes, Deadly Infusion is insane, not even counting the multiplier you get from it. 6 Charges turns all the 5% crit spells in to 8% crit, 6% to 9% and so on. While the Unstable infusion node in front of Deadly sucks for the endgame it is still worth it as you can make up 30 skill points worth of passives just with those 4 ascendancy points.
