Pathfinder

Official artwork of the Pathfinder.

Pathfinder is an Ascendancy class for the Ranger.

Overview

The Pathfinder specializes in flasks, poison, and mobility. Connected Chemistry lets her gain more flask charges, and Enduring Elixirs allows her life flasks to continue recovering her life even after recovering to full. She can gain access to one of five Concoction skills, using mana flask charges to deal damage. Contagious Contamination and Overwhelming Toxicity improves poison by having it spread to nearby enemies on kill and doubling the amount of poison stacks she can apply to enemies. Running Assault and Relentless Pursuit keeps her mobile by mitigating effects that reduce her movement speed.
