Master Toxicist

Ascendancy Notable Passive Skill

Poisons you inflict during any Flask Effect have 20% chance to deal 100% more Damage
When you kill a Poisoned Enemy during any Flask Effect, nearby Enemies are Poisoned [1]

Master Toxicist is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Pathfinder, granting a chance for Poisons that the player applies during any flask effect, to be much more potent. It also causes the strongest poison stack affecting a killed enemy to be reapplied to all nearby enemies in a circular area. This effect also only works during any flask effect.

Mechanics

• The secondary effect of this passive is often referred to by the community as "poison proliferation". However, contrary to the standard proliferation mechanics, poisons are reapplied instantly upon killing a poisoned enemy, and don't remain on its corpse. The area of effect of this mechanic cannot be modified.
