Ascendancy
TL;DR : Inquisitor is good for softcore, but Pathfinder is better for HC, Trickster is also a viable HC choice.
Inquisitor grants no defense. When going Inquisitor you pretty much have to go life based, which means that you'll run around with like 6k effective HP max. When going Pathfinder you gain a really good balance between defence and damage. On top of that you gain immunity to elemental status ailments, so you don't have to roll Freeze / Shock immunity on flask. And you gain tons of increased flask stuff, which makes your basalt and other defence flasks really strong.
On top of that Pathfinder gives tons of Move Speed.

Another Ascendancy Class i thought about was Trickster due to the heavy defence side of the class, while still gaining some damage. Trickster is also not a bad choice.

Pathfinder Choice : Natures Boon - Master Alchemist - Nature's Adrenaline - Veteran Bowyer
