My build for EA start!
NO combos! NO 100000 buttons. We going with 1 MAIN skill that we will spam 🙂
I didn’t wanna play grenade since there’s too many buttons and the crossbow attacks are very strong once you have enough damage increases.

What venom should i pick?
May I ask generally what will people take for perm stats?
i.e. Den of Snakes reward for Stun Threshold, Elemental Ailment Threshold and Mana Regen Rate.
Quick question, why don't you go to Heavy Ammunition node on the passive tree?
how to deal with Mana siphoning? getting rocked.
thank you for the update. can you pls also update talent tree on site because talent tree in your video and site are different and it's confusing and I don't know which to use
Im using smth similar, but im going more into shock. For AoE clearing galvanic shards is enough and for single target i use shockburst rounds once it gets the shock, feels really good
Use Lightning Rod.
Build is quite fun to play. I have a question. You have splinter on High Velocity Rounds, which breaks armor based on % of the physical damage you deal. However, Herald of Thunder (level 6) converts 100% of my bolt's physical dmg to lightning dmg. Does this mean I should turn Herald off when I'm using High Velocity Rounds?
sadly mobalytics doesnt show what attributes u picked in the passive tree did u go full dex or sometimes int/strength for certain gems?
been running the gemlite variant of this build, it shreds A3 like nothing. i'm breezing through A3 it felt like totally different game than when i used grenades on A2.
You can do cast on shock conductivity, just take a lower level support gem to avoid issues with int and there's a support that reduces the amount of energy required for triggering it
Have you thought about using lightning rod as a trigger for the shards if i read the skills correctly last night, the rod should trigger the chain lightning from galvanic shard…I had to sleep so couldn't test it out.
I leveled with double barrel scattershot high velocity rounds, mega stun flash grenade and light infused piercing galvanic for big groups. It’s way better than trying to force grenades early. Hv tears through bosses and the vuln from flashg melts them mobs. It did fall off around lvl 30 tho and I switched to grenades.
Impressive video, Bigdaddy. Looking forward to your next upload from you. I smashed that thumbs up icon on your content. Keep up the fantastic work! Your insights on the crossbow build adjustments were really enlightening. Have you considered how the recent changes to ammunition mechanics might affect overall build diversity in the endgame?
High v shot is one shot. Crossbow shot is 7 maybe that’s it ?
How expensive isbto respec lol? I might wanna switch to this build from granade style.. Since its less combo and stuff.
Try Cast when Shock + Conductivity for auto curse enemy and take lightning penetration from node right Flash Storm in passive tree (from Flash Storm to Forces of Nature)
in the skill panel, default attack is showing a dps number, while high velocity rounds is showing a per hit number. from what I can tell it gives you dps for ammo types that load multiple rounds by default, and damage per hit for ammo types that load one round by default, since it isn't set up to factor reload speed into its calculation
I've been running something very similar, but I put in gas grenade socketed to strip armor for high velocity. It actually shreds armor quickly and the damage boost is noticeable.
Mate, I am so grateful to you and your build… it literally made me continue playing Merc (was about to create a new char)… the build feels amazing…
Lol we ended up making the exact same build tree and all
Galvanic clearing is great!
Needed this info for the boss killing part, I can't kill anything that's solo with galvanic shards, not even big bois. I was using rapidfire to kill bosses… The spin up time made getting damage out without taking damage MISERABLE!!!
Didn't know conductivity was a thing too!
Also I put Pierce instead of attack speed on galvanic and ignore pierce on the passive tree. You're having an easier time than me though by the looks of things so… 🤐
I’m going full grenade build, but still use Galvanic Shards as my “bolt” skill, it does a lot of damage and it’s fantastic for clearing trash mobs. Will also add Explosive Bolt later on so I can trigger my grenades👍 good video.
i trolled and went gemlin over witchhunter and i cant switch anymore so rip. think its possible gemlin might be able to pull of this build?
Do you think armour stacking will be a thing in poe2?
