Caustic Arrow /6

A projectile attack that creates a patch of caustic ground on hit which deals chaos damage over time to affected enemies.

Name	Show Full Descriptions
Pierce Support	Allows projectiles from Caustic Arrow to travel through more enemies, creating multiple patches of caustic ground, dealing damage to more enemies simultaneously.
Lesser Multiple Projectiles Support	Increases the amount of arrows Caustic Arrow fires, allowing it to cover a larger area by creating multiple patches of caustic ground at once. At later levels, obtain the Greater Multiple Projectiles Support gem to affect enemies in a larger area.
Mirage Archer Support	When Caustic Arrow hits an enemy, an apparition is created above you that fires a copy of Caustic Arrow at enemies, at a reduced rate and with less damage.
Vicious Projectiles Support	Greatly increases both the physical damage from hits and chaos damage over time component of Caustic Arrow.
Swift Affliction Support	Decreases the duration of Caustic Arrow's ground effect, but compensates for this by increasing damage over time dealt.
Void Manipulation Support	Grants more chaos damage but lowers the elemental damage of Caustic Arrow. The Caustic ground effect only deals chaos damage, so Void Manipulation gives more damage at no drawback.
