[PoE2] Gas Grenade Witchhunter Endgame Guide !

Cyclon shares his first Build in Path of Exile 2, a Gas Grenade Witchhunter, now pushed into Endgame
The Main Skill Gas Grenade is so powerful it had to be nerfed just few days in, and the build still nukes enemies, especially bosses into nothingness!

Build has been a BLAST, really great Starter for Path of Exile 2 all the way into the Endgame, but to force myself making many more builds it is time for me to move on. Any Builds you can recommend me that are also amazing fun to play?

Such a fun build, great job on the guides ❤
Hey I was looking at the swap sets to find more shock magnitude, and it looks like we can also grab Frazzled and Lasting Trauma and get up to 60% shock magnitude. Frazzled definitely works, but I havent tested lasting trauma yet. I assume ailment includes shock there even though it doesnt say elemental ailment
You plan to finish this build?
What are your thoughts on magnified effect or payload on gas grenade? I would think the double explosion with payload would be more beneficial then some of the other options.
Great build, especially the use of scavenged plating with flash greadnage and attrition for bosses. Going to be trying out all these things.
I don't like that extra charm slots are a suffix on belts….. there is a ilvl 23 with +1 on trade as the lowest ilvl and for +2 it's ilvl64, so I'm guessing it's around ilvl 20 for +1 and ilvl 60 for +2. Did I have a fever dream or something because I want to remember GGG using a currency on a belt in a promotional video for extra slots when talking about no more piano flasks.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong with my mercenary – I’m lvl 50, did all the points as you for leveling, have ok gear and for the love of God I cannot kill Viper boss. The best try was bringing her to 30%. When I watch you, the damage is insane, boss health goes down in seconds – for me it takes like 5 minutes to bring the boss down or close to down. What am I doing wrong?

I've heard the opinion:
Resistances can go into the negative.
In poe2 we can't penetrate below 0, but exposure/curses can.
Is this a misconception? What is applied first exposure or penetration?
Is the flat fire damage on a crossbow equal to the flat physical damage? (Only in terms of damage, not stealing life or stun)
In korean community people say mercernary is just bad is it so?
Is the 'Perfect Opportunity' skill useful? (Damage with Hits is Lucky against Heavy Stunned Enemies)
Awesome research and deep understanding of mechanics. Respect!
They my build in the ground. Grenade are trash
The decimating strike and culling strike doesnt work. Is it a bug?
Can I use birth of fury stone greaves instead of the radiant grief hood it has a similar ignite effect ? 🤔🤔
what color combo is needed for the amulet anoint?
Gas with helmets so fun sped run my 2nd mercenary to axt 2 cruel in 7 hours melting!
Unfortunately that's terrible DPS and grenades did not get any mention in the patch notes. Even full warrior tanky builds deal more DPS than grenades witchhunter. Its lvl 77 area prob with 0 diff level, this boss should be deleted in 2 hits.
is glavanic shrad build better or this one?
Can you recommend an ascendancy setup for gemling legionnaire that achieves a similar tankiness as this, using the same offensive skill gems? Information on good players builds for rarer ascendancies is scarce rn
I am playing a Monk. Didnt know that Boss has this mechanic. He dies in 3 secs.hahahahaha
why r u using radiant grief when u shot explosive grenade ? explosiv shot faster and more range then grenade
Test heft on gas grenades. Big dps increase for me. I didn't notice as big of a change with immolate, but also heft might increase some numbers over one of the other gems. Great guide though. I learned a few things
do you have skill gem suggestion for a gemling legionnaire using your set up? given that they can use 2 of the same gems
Don't get the build nerfed 😡
Haha i use this build but with boots that leave a firetrail
U could make a glavanic shrad build ist really fun or an gemling flickerstrike build
Finally!! I've been looking forward to your update on this build. I appreciate your content
