Pathfinder Ascendancy Class Mechanics

Different Types of Concoctions

The Pathfinder ascendancy class allows the Ranger to throw various concoctions at the cost of consuming flask charges. Each concoction serves a variety of uses under different circumstances. Properly utilizing them can give players an advantage in combat.

For example, the Bleeding Concoction makes enemies bleed, allowing them to take damage over time. Meanwhile, the Fulminating Concoction applies Shock to enemies, which makes them more vulnerable to damage.

Poison Mastery

Aside from Concoctions, the Pathfinder also increases the potency of poison effects, making it deadlier than ever before.

Passive skills such as Overwhelming Toxicity and Contagious Contamination help increase poison's viability in combat by making it easier to poison enemies and increase the damage poisoned enemies take from increased poison stacks.

Increased Mobility

Like the Deadeye, the Pathfinder ascendancy class increases the movement capabilities of the Ranger through skills like Running Assault and Relentless Pursuit, which decreases attack movement penalties and grants invulnerability to being slowed.

As such, the class may also benefit from a run-and-gun playstyle, capitalizing on throwing concoctions instead of simply rapid-firing arrows.
