Best Ascendancy for Cooldown Skills

4 ascendancies ranked by nodes about cooldown skills · Path of Exile 2✓ Checked against game files · 0.5.5
ChronomancerChronomancerSorceress · 3 nodes

Chronomancer (Sorceress) and Witchhunter (Mercenary) have the most ascendancy nodes about cooldown skills: 3 each. 4 of 22 ascendancies have at least one such node. Counted: nodes about skill cooldowns. Patch 0.5.5, from the game files.

A count is not a damage number: one notable can matter more than four small passives, so each row lists the nodes it counts. Pick the ascendancy, then read them. Abyssal Lich is left out: its nodes are in the files but not on this patch's passive tree.

How it is counted: a node counts when one of its lines (or the description of the skill it grants) matches the theme's words, read from the game's passive tree and stat files. Compare two ascendancies to see all their nodes.
