Caustic Arrow is a bow attack that fires an arrow dealing chaos damage and spreading caustic ground. Enemies standing within it receive a debuff that deals chaos damage over time. Caustic ground does not poison and is therefore not affected by poison-related modifiers.
Skill functions and interactions
- Caustic Arrow will explode either at the targeted location or on the first monster or obstacle it hits.
- Multiple projectiles: firing additional projectiles can spread caustic ground over a wider area, but the damage over time from overlapping patches of caustic ground does not stack.
- Piercing: piercing Caustic Arrow projectiles will spread caustic ground each time they hit and will receive the chaos damage bonus any time they impact an enemy.
- Projectile damage: passive nodes and gems (such as Slower Projectiles SupportSlower Projectiles SupportSupport, Projectile
