Path of Exile 2: Full WitchHunter Endgame T15 Build Guide and how to Progress your Atlas

Full build guide with detailed progression, skill mechanics explanation, tips, tricks, notes and everything else you could want to push into T15s. I also cover what is probably the most underrated unique in Path of Exile 2 and how it makes endgame so much smoother.
Ignite next? I have some ideas I’m going to try out as soon as I complete 4th Ascendency

This build is still amazing 🤩 im new to poe2 and this build has saved my life from struggling on t5 to easy clearing currently t8
Thanks for the guide. Which Den of Snakes rewards are good with this build?
i have over 100 hours on this build. Thank you
Running t15 maps atm and this build is terrible against bosses. Even with high evasion, i feel like we need ES to survive on boss fights cause it takes ages to kill.
How come you don’t mention the off hand bow you run thats on the written part of the build
After doing quite a few tests…I'm struggling to find gas grenade more effective than just using explosive grenades. I clear packs of mobs instantly with explosive, yet gas grenades it sometimes take 3-4 volleys to do the same damage as 1 volley of explosive. What am I missing here? I tried switching at level 55 during Act 2 Cruel on HC and it almost got me killed….the TTK with gas is just significantly slower than explosive grenades. I'm still using flash/oil with the appropriate support gems, and I tried the exact gems specified for both grenades, and I'm not convinced gas is stronger. Any thoughts to what I may be missing here? I feel like something that makes gas stronger is missing, or this build only really exceeds explosive grenade damage once you are level 70+ or you have that helm for the auto ignite. Possibly I'm just at a weird spot where my crossbow damage is not enough to make gas grenade viable but still enough to make explosive grenade one shot most things.
EDIT: Both skill gems level 13, and yes, I'm exploding the gas. 15 gas grenades (3 volleys with scattershot) doesn't kill the same mobs that 5 explosive (1 volley with scattershot) blows up easily. I think this build looks awesome but I'm just an idiot and can't figure out why my gas grenade explosions do like no damage lol
Thanks man, I'm going to try this. I'm more a easy set up player, but kinda stuck with my deadeye because of the high investment it needs to get to T15 progression. Definitely going to try this.
im a new poe2 player mate u make me love that game so much with this build im lev56 ac2 cruel im walking melting everthing gg for the build
Hey, how are you doing?
Im lvl 25 on act2, desperate to find a leveling build for witchhunter merc that can transition to endgame too…
But i dont want a build focused on grenades (it can use 2 grenades, but i cant be spamming only that)
Can you help me out with skills, supp gems, passive, spirit?
Thank you
Very interesting build. I have only evasion build, and it's a problem for me to live. I'l try to remake my build for evasion and armour.
thx for build!
Is This build still working guys ?
In your text build guide, is there a reason why you say to turn off both Herald of Ash and Wind Dancer when switching to attrition for bosses? From what I can tell WD only uses 30 spirit, while attrition uses 60. So couldn't we keep WD on while switching?
Late to the party, this build is absurd. I thought shattering everything with permafrost and herald of ice was good… Until tier 10 maps and that stopped lol
This build is insanely destructive, love it.
Stormcaller Arrow didnt work anymore? Tried and its just 35
moba doesnt match this video. weapon swap; or not?
@fearlessdumbo Build is amazing. I'm using it since T1 maps and clear everything very smooth including T15 maps.Now I'm 88 lvl (didnt finish 4th ascendancy yet). Damage is good and gameplay is fun for me but I have an issue with survivability when juicing T15 maps with everything I can + vaal it. I have full resistance of all 4 (more than 75%, cold, fire, light and chaos), 2.3k hp and around 60% evasion and armor. A lot of times some mobs killed me so fast and bosses sometimes oneshot me. My weapon is around 600 dps and another gear also is not bad, clear waves easy but when they caught me I can't survive. Do you have any ideas how to up my defence and survive these juiced end game maps. Does another people have my problem?
What jewels do you recommend?
Does this still work?
Still working?
this build actually work? can adapt for HOWA gloves?
@@fearlessdumb0 why no energy shield?
Quick question, what runes do you use on weapon?
What do you think about going Cloak of Flame for the physical res? Worth it or better going for a classic eva/armor chest piece?
the delay in gas grenades looks uncomfortable and unsolvable in beefed up 15+ tier maps.. Whats the solution to find answer to all different beefed map suffixes? (atk speed/mov speed/- max res?)
sigh. missing the #1 overall best way of boosting dmg. +skills. where ill probably just make my gemling gas arrow.
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
how do you add specifically increased rarity on a piece of armor with free suffix?
a great guide, but you can only come up to t15 maps, after that there is no update for the guide, so I don't know if it can kill the pinnacle bosses, you need to try it, if it is weak, all that labor will be wasted.
How much would running coming calamity on annoint and fire damage on rings scale damage of build? Would this be impactful or no?
I'm having issues with not having enough Spirit to slot the Cannibalism supp gem
Followed everything to a T so far but cant get passed the end of a2, i can barely get the boss down a quarter way 😭
I Vaal orbed my radiant grief and got a second slot on it. So excited.
