These PAX skill trees are found in the Class tab once you reach Level 30. They are nestled between the base game skill trees and the menu for the new Ascension system on the left side of the screen. Here’s what’s new in the PAX trees per their in-game descriptions. Note: PAX skills can be reset just like base skills.
This system is different than the Ascension system, which uses Ascension points to provide passive buffs across four areas and is essentially the new XP system in Worldslayer. If you’re wondering how to get PAX points, we’ve got a guide covering their locations here.
