My Poison Sniper Contagion Mercenary Witchhunter Starter Plan/Theorycraft for Path of Exile 2
It was pretty fun theory-crafting some fun stuff for my mercenary league starter. Beware this is not a build guide because the game has not been released yet. I want to share my ideas on this High-Velocity Round Poison stacking and some potential interactions to scale for progression early.

My mistake on the 15% maximum life as armor node. It means the other way around, that you gain extra armor of 15% maximum life.
Otherwise, it would be too OP, but it's still a good node to take either way since we'll get life from gears and stack armor early game, and apparently getting max elemental res is now an endgame goal.
Doing a poison/bleed/crit build so far it does ok but wondering if u have a update on how this is turning out for u
Update : poison builds is potent. Take lot of points in skill tree tho.
Check out the bow chaos gem tag.
Enjoy poison enthusiast! 😊
there is no bleeding chance support in the game….
What would you recommend for early support gems ?
Is that ur real voice😍
about the links in the desciption, i notice the skill gems and the passive tree links are empty, like there is no points spent on the passive skill tree, idk if its just me or im not seeing it somehow
a.r.p.g of the century? well that's a confident line lol, of the next 100 years?
i can agree with "of the decade" which is what i think you meant.
Im gonna no life poe2
Good job Lazy Exile hope you update the build daily when it release. Like when you did with your last build in Necro Settler league.
That's right, the best survival strategy is to freeze enemies.
Unfortunately, don't get freeze in main skill, just have to play the piano to get it separately.
Your videos are always interesting, thank you.
You get flat Armour from 15% of max hp. Try to use cast on freeze to apply mark or do damage with cold snap if you focus cold damage, for fire damage use flame wall and skill with fire exposure. In addition, any flat damage is huge boost, so herald of ash can be usefull at the beginning of campaign, when we don't have much items.
Truly in loved! Keep it up and see more of your helpful guide!❤
Hope you all have much fun at launch. I cant wait to play PoE 2 😀
Good content, I will try it!
Dps? Link pob
Good job
Is it me, but wouldn't Pathfinder with crossbow work better for this build?
Glad there is no more AI voice!
Your comprehension of this game is as much inspirational as it is informative. Thanks for all the great content!@!
I'm thinking a hybrid Xbow/Qstaff start would be pretty solid, taking Frozen Locus instead of permafrost bolts. Locus hops you backwards and spawns ice crystal which either the mobs break and get frozen or you hit with frag rounds to explode, which should freeze the enemies and prime them for a second frag round explosion.
I'm mainly looking forward to the artillery style Xbow skills at higher levels. They've only showed one of them and the skill hasn't been talked about at all from what I've seen. Looks to be 3 variants of lightning/cold/fire, last one being at the same tier as Plasma Blast and Cluster Grenade. Unfortunately Merc is like… 3rd or 4th on my list of things I want to try.
I plan to use High velocity rounds with gas grenade where I give it corrosion support so it breaks armour.
Continuous armour breaking while shooting with sniper shots.
cool
I'm gonna make a Dual Wielding 2h Staff Infernalist
Based, I'm thinking of the same build but on gemling legionaire.
Awesome, thanks
I liked the AI voice but this is nice too. Good editing as always 🙂
yay no ai voice
The main reason I want to try Mercenary is because he yells out which ammunition you pick 😁. Loving the theorycraft videos!
