Im not sure i can ever go back from CI acolyte or similar ascendancy after playing it.
Being able to just not care at all about chaos ball spinning strong boxes, homing chaos orbs, chaos ritual altars, extra damage as chaos modifiers, bleed on hit, poison on hit, pretty much some entire boss attacks types, poison ground and still having an emergency flask is just such a nice QOL. It does get me killed when i swap builds and forget that im not nearly immortal though.
