Toxic Rain Pathfinder

Toxic Rain continues to be one of the more reliable AoE and damage over time spells in Path of Exile: Heist. The Toxic Rain Pathfinder, however, has seen some changes since the expansion. To get yourself updated, here’s the new PoE build breakdown.

Pros:

• huge damage
• can run all content
• quick flask refill
• good defenses

Cons:

• flask-reliant
• requires much time and PoE currency to get going
