What’s going on?
The early read
Blood Mage is a rare pick so far this league (#18 of 23, 1.2% of the public ladder), so the read is still forming. Even this early, players have already taken Blood Mage to level 100, so the ceiling is already proven. Treat the numbers below as an early signal, not a verdict.
Early read · 12 on the ladder so far · still gathering evidenceWhy this read? The evidence behind it.
Confidence
Early — the sample is still thin, so read it as a signal.
Observed
- Ladder standing
- #18 of 23 · 1.2% of players
- Sample
- 12 characters on the public ladder
- Trend
- Cooling on the ladder over recent days.
- Hardcore survival
- Thin sample so far (19 hardcore characters).
- Endgame ceiling
- Top players have reached level 100 (rank #30).
Suggests
- Blood Mage is on the ladder (#18 of 23), so a read is starting to form.
- Its endgame ceiling is real — players have reached level 100 with it.
- Interest has been cooling over recent days.
Does not mean
- That it is the strongest or “best” ascendancy. The ladder counts players and deaths, not power.
- That it is the right pick for your goals or how you like to play.
- That your own result will match the field’s.
Other things that could explain this
- The sample is still small, so the standing can move a lot yet.
- Early-league ladders lean toward fast, well-known builds.
- A dip can be the meta cycling rather than the build weakening.
How current
Public Runes of Aldur ladder, as of Jul 1, 6 days into the league.
What we can’t see
The public ladder cannot see the gear, tree, or what killed a single character.

What this is built on
We can read the public ladder: who is playing Blood Mage, how that is trending, and how often hardcore characters fall. We cannot see your character yet, so the passive tree, the gear, and exactly what killed you are still yours to check. Path of Building is the place to plan that.

What this page answers about Blood Mage
Blood Mage is a Witch ascendancy in Path of Exile 2. This page reads the public Path of Exile 2 ladder to help you decide what to do with Blood Mage: how many players are on it, how it holds up in Hardcore, and whether it is rising or cooling over recent days. If you are weighing a switch inside the class, you can compare it with Infernalist and Lich. It reasons only from the public ladder, so it never sees your character's gear or passive tree, and it is not a build guide, a gear planner, or a verdict on the single strongest pick.
