Pathfinder Ascendancy - Path of Exile

PoE Pathfinder 3.21

The Pathfinder has been overdue for some attention, especially with recent features such as Concoction skills that she could get the ability to specialise in. We also wanted the flask-themed Ascendancy to have a proactive way of improving life flask usage.

Master Distiller is a new notable which allows you to turn most of your skills into Concoction-like abilities, while the new version of Master Surgeon effectively gives all your Life Flasks the "Enduring" effect, previously only found on mana flasks.

In addition, both major Flask-themed branches now have some form of flask charge recovery.

The Pathfinder now has the ability to turn many of its skills into Concoction-like abilities that consume its flask charges for additional effects.
