Pathfinder

	There are venoms and virtues aplenty in the wilds, if you know where to look.

Pathfinder is an Ascendancy class for the Ranger.

Overview

The Pathfinder is a survival specialist with a focus in flasks, poison, and mobility. Enduring Elixirs allows her life flasks to continue recovering her life even after recovering to full, and she can learn one of five Concoction skills to turn her mana flask into a source of damage. Contagious Contamination and Overwhelming Toxicity improves her poisons by increasing its stack and making them contagious. Relentless Pursuit and Running Assault keeps her mobile by mitigating effects that reduce her movement speed. Practical Remedies and Sustainable Practices grants the Pathfinder protection against the elements with immunity to an elemental ailment and elemental damage reduction.
