PoE 3.4 Ranger Pathfinder Toxic Rain / Caustic Arrow Build - High Clearing & Movement Speed
"There are venoms and virtues aplenty in the wilds, if you know where to look."
The Pathfinder possesses skills that grant additional flask uses and offensive and defensive bonuses while using them.
The build is around Damage over Time, a little bit of chance to poison ( to have the Crawler up at max stacks ) and withering generation using Toxic Rain linked with Withering Touch.
