Lightning Crossbow Witchhunter Pinnacle Showcase and Build Guide | Path of Exile 2 Early Access

Apologies for the mic rumbling at the start, not sure but it happens randomly
Gear is good but not crazy, maybe 25-30divs total but prices are changing alot recently so I’m not too sure. This build destroys maps on 5Ls and you can incrementally upgrade from there.

Gems: Swap Primal Armaments from shockburst with Martial Tempo from galva for bossing (GEMS ARE IN ORDER OR PRIORITY FOR 6L, if you have 5L, drop the last one)
Shockburst Rounds + Concentrated effect + Elemental Focus + Lightning Infusion + Heft + Primal Armaments
Galvanic Shards + Conduction + Fork + Mobility + Martial Tempo + Acceleration
Plasma Blast + Scattershot + Lightning Mastery + Hourglass + Overcharge + Lasting Shock
Stormcaller Arrow + Strip Away + Lightning Exposure + Fast Forward
Emergency Reload + Persistence + Premeditation
Herald of Thunder + Innervate + Magnified Effect
Voltaic Mark + Arcane Tempo
Blink + Ingenuity + Second Wind
Wind Dancer + Unbreakable + Clarity + Cannibalism + Precision
Bow swap with 250pdps for stormcaller
Math:
flat damage * increase * more primal (25) * more ele focus (25) * conc (40) * gain as (infusion 25) * more max (ryslatha+wild storm+heft) * lucky (16.6%) * attack speed * crit
Example crossbow effective attack speed calc:
time taken for 21 bullets: 1.51+0.48 = 1.99s
dps=(21*bullet damage)/1.99
Damage:
Base damage (no belt/gem) – 21001
With belt – 25508 ~21.5% more
With gem – 31903 ~25% more
With belt+gem – 51.9% more
Lucky is 16.6% more on top of everything

Future plans for int stacking to push the build further maybe. Theorycrafting needed there.

Streaming live now on https://www.twitch.tv/aer0plane, do drop by if you have any questions!
blink has INT penalty in your video, how you took it.
Would you say kitoko or howa is better for this?
what jewels does he use i cant find info anywhere
im lvl 72, galvanic shards does basically no damage. sheet says 771 dps and my xbow has 99-298 dmg. What am i doing wrong?
u dont show ur bow and quiver here and how u got spirit for 2 auras and blink?
I wanna know which jewels are best for this build?
Wtf is that your laptop mic
Any update on how to scale or even improve this without HoWa int stacker build?
how are you using Blink as well? wioth wind dancer and ghost dance i have 0 spirit left
I have a question i made the same build basically i copied it but even with the voltaic Mark the enemys dont get the shock Effect, why is that ?
Can someone help i cant even do waystone tier 5 with it, they wont get shocked and thats a big problem
I've got to be doing something wrong. I cannot find a good way to lvl this build. Every skill i use feels like a wet noodle. Maybe I shot myself in the foot cause i started with monk and nothing feels as good as that class currently. Oh well great video
for those who do not have a 6 link for skill gems. which supports do you drop? thanks in advance.
@aer0plane Hy I have 2 questions that are very important to me (new player). Why is the evation rating so high and no armor exists (does that compensate for that)? And, why are there no damage attributes on the two rings like add x to x physical/lightning damage to do more damage?
Level 84 same tree, crossbow with ~450 phys dps and I'm only at 1.7k dps on galvanic shots what am I doing wrong?
why does my dps like 2000 dmg less lmao galvanic shock sitting at 500sps. Did the same nods and got the same weapon. I dont get it.
What do the red/green lines in the passive tree in the mobalytics image mean? Most of the pathing is indicated by a yellow line but some branch off into red or green lines.
hey mate thanks for great build, i was playin gas nade then i switched to this build. i really like to use this build. i kinda dont have any trouble about mapping or bosses but breaches is kinda pain for me. im really having trouble to stay alive and i mostly die. any advice about breaches?
how you survive physical aoe damage with pure evasion build tho. I'm trying cloak of flame but can't really get it to work.
Have you considered using war banner? It’s 42% more attack damage at max valor stacks at 20% quality and level 14.
am i missing something or is the survivability really bad i have max res and 2k health idk what im missing
it's been days that i'm working on this build, but there is something i don't get. How he get 24k dmg on shockburst rounds as i get only 8k5 i don't have the belt and the gloves from the video also i have another issue, if i get hit by a physical dmg, i immediatly explode. i maybe missed an information or something . But overall it's a very cool video and i see all the effort put in explainations ♥
This is an unexpected well of knowledge. So much better than the other guides ive come across. Instead of saying "do this; its good" you're saying "im doing this, BECAUSE". Really really helpful, especially when it comes to explaining the math and kind of hidden mechanics. Only thing thats missing for me (it doesnt have to do with the build directly, but one of its core mechanics) is an explanation on shock, ailment thresholds etc. Im gonna browse your channel for some more info thou.
Thx <3
hey im currently using this build for breach content only and no bossing, do you think it's worth to switch decimating strike to Ceremonial Ablution for survivability?
how could we able to take blink without enough int?
have some recommend jewel? i just use lighting penetrate ,atk speed and shock magnitude
so i have 2 sockets on my kitokos, shoiuld i use double attack speed cores to counter balance the negative or just stick to res?
Dumb question, but how do you electrocute? I thought plasma can't electorcute and yet boss in the showcase is.
Hiya, just found this channel and thanks for this amazing build. Just a question, i understand youre playing a HOWA build now, but can you please update this build for some that cant afford a HOWA yet? Thanks
Just when I waas about to give up on crossbows, youtube suggested me your video. Big thank.
How do you have 100 spirit and you don't wear any on your clothes?
THX for the video you gain a new follower
which jewel stat we prio ? can u say little bit about it ? thx
im getting a bug where if i use the mark and swap back to crossbow im not allowed to shoot and am super slow until i roll. do you have a sollution for this?
