Toxicologist
A plague-doctor who turns combo points into INT-scaling toxins — seed the Toxin track, watch one counter climb, then blow the whole cocktail with Venom Burst and bloom the contagion across the pack.
Talents
Your poisons do the killing — each tick of your damage-over-time effects has a 15% chance per rank (up to 45%) to flare for bonus INT-scaling nature damage. The more toxins ticking, the more it fires.
Your abilities gain an 18% chance on hit to splash the target with acid for a burst of nature damage AND stamp a stack of Toxin: Corroded — the single stacking INT-scaling toxin track (up to 5) that Venom Burst detonates.
Weapon Poison becomes Toxic Compound — INT scaling, and its poison counts as Magic for dispels.
Eviscerate becomes Venom Burst — an INT-scaling nature finisher and (with Contagion) the detonator that explodes the whole Toxin cocktail on the target.
Venom Burst becomes a detonator — it explodes every Toxin (Corroded, Venom, Compound, Venom Weapon) and every Deadly Poison dose on the target at once, dealing INT-scaling nature damage per stack detonated.
Your abilities gain a 10% chance per rank (up to 20%) on hit to restore energy.
Vial of Poison becomes Acid Pool — a wide INT-scaling acid zone that stamps a stack of Toxin: Corroded on enemies inside it every pulse.
Spinning Slash becomes Toxic Spin — no longer a finisher, it stamps a stack of Toxin: Corroded on everything it hits, seeding the cocktail across the pack.
CAPSTONE — hurl an unstable toxin that erupts into a wide, escalating contagion cloud, dealing heavy INT-scaling nature damage every second for 10 seconds.
Talent points are earned one per level from level 3, for 18 in total. Tiers unlock on points already spent in this specialization.
