Bleed Crossbow Witchhunter (Updated) Xesht T4 – Path of Exile 2 Dawn of the Hunt
Showcase of my updated Bleed Crossbow Mercenary Witchhunter build vs. Xesht T4.
I’ve roughly doubled the single-target damage of the build since the last Xesht showcase. The main two upgrades are switching in Ryslatha’s Coil and adding an extra jewel slot to equip Prism of Belief with +3 to High Velocity Rounds. Ryslatha’s Coil provides around 33% more damage thanks to Deepest Tower + Stars Aligned notable which makes damage with hits lucky.
High Velocity Rounds scales nicely with levels, so the +3 to skill level from Prism of Belief adds around 25% more damage. The only downside is the high mana cost which makes Shard Scavenger almost mandatory. I bought Ryslatha’s for 8 divs and Prism of Belief for 10 chaos (great value), though I expect the prices of both to increase due to the recent buff to loot in 0.2.0g.

How is mapping with the build?
Man how do you live. Im doing similiar build but with weapon master, using mainly gas grenade for clear and high velocity for bossing, and I feel like something is wrong with mercenary survivability. You also have to put fkin rarity into every slot so you cant stack much hp, Armour doesn't defend, like at all, sorcery ward feels like a bait. How did you solve survivability problem?
Are you only setting the grenades to weapon set 2?
why you dont so much mana ?
Man what a build, the unique belt with the Star aligned notable is just insane addition to the unique helmet. Nice cook man. Love it.
