I guess it’s intentional. Honestly I have little reason to ever use this Aspect, because it doesn’t work with Gambler’s dodge or Marksman dodge. It temporarily worked with RDM but I heard that it’s since been nerfed/fixed. As it stand right now it’s just a boring aspect.

[quote]Ascension reads "consume your Class Ability" where Threaded Specter reads "activate your Class Ability." Using Ascension does not leave a clone behind, which I understood as using your class ability for something that is not actually your class ability. Then I started testing and noticed that Ascension only works with 1 thing on the class item, Utility Kickstart, which reads "when your Class Ability is fully expended." Reaper, Outreach, Bomber, and Distribution all say "when you use your Class Ability" and do not proc off of Ascension. Is this intentional?[/quote] I use this ability to reach high places

They specifically stopped it from working with radiant dance machines, so it's a very intentional move that any non-dodge class ability doesn't work with other class ability stuff. Which is very lame in my opinion.

Honestly Ascension with Threaded Specter should work together. The decoy would be placed in the air and enemies would be focused on that rather than a lucky shot still hitting you during that time. At the same time, Bungie should revert the nerf they game to Threaded Specter in PvE. As for the mods thing, I never even noticed Utility Kickstart work with it either even with 3 copies and 6 armor charges. I feel it is intentional and yet it is really unnecessary as Ascension does barely anything outside of granting Amplified and applying Jolt so having no synergy with anything other than a terrible exotic is a poor implementation.

Yeah, I always hated that it had almost literally no buildcrafting synergy. It doesn't work with anything that it should be able to work with, except for Kickstart. The saddest thing is, it's probably not intentional, just another oversight by Bungle.
