hey question the fewer enemies to be surrounded on helmet worth going for 4 or just save for 5? or skip the helmet at all ?
I ve played this build on HC Fate of The Vaal 0.4 and it is an amazing build. I have around 15k sorcery ward, but since you get Hyrr's ire you get arround 10k so its a super defensive build for a mercenary. The only content i have yet not done, due to not finding my last calamity fragment citadel remaining, is arbiter of ash on his empowered version, but the regular version got one shotted so i don't expect much challenge. Mapping is incredibly fun and safe and bossing is too since you have insane damage.
I just didn't include super expensive jewels that are impossible to get on HC because of insane prices, but the rest is easily obtainable.
I recommend this build to anyone who likes mercenary, its probably the best build i ve tried on this class so far !
How would you setup skill binds on console? I tried using skill set one and two but it became very janky while trying to swap between my rounds. Any ideas for help with binds specifically on psn
Mirage Archer is still extremely bugged. Do you have a workaround for this?
Thanks nice build!! New Sub….. just one thing… getting an error on path of building : 'PathOfBuilding' root element missing
How can I make Galvanic load 5 bolts?
I copied the exact same setup, but mine only loads 2 bolts.
What am I missing?
Woolie, been loving this build since the first iteration, but I have one question… why does the build spend 10 skill points on + 8 max rage, when at no point in the early game does it recommend slotting rage support and I haven't yet seen any item recs which build rage either, when things like 30% lightning res pen is only 5 points for example?
@woolie What would be the closest POE1 Class / Build to this setup? I am thinking about playing the mirage league and would like this playstyle again. I really enjoyed this build.
Word from the wise. Please calculate your spirt correctly. I’m literally 1 short to get the build online completely in end game. LMAO literally 1 freaking spirt point is hilarious to me. I have enough currency to fix my mistake but man it sucks because I didnt even realize. Take your time and just because the guide is step by step don’t assume I got this. Luckily this mistake didn’t burn a hole in my pocket 😂
Insane detailed and leveling guide, mad respect GIGACHAD!
Hey! Love the build! You have Dominus' Grasp on the other site so you dropped Fork or the other way around? Thx!
Question: if the crossbow has only 2 slots whats better for runes
1x 5% of all elements (safe)
Plus
1x iron rune 18% phys or
1x 50% attack damahe against rares/uniques?
Still tweaking this build a little.. anyone else confirm that Branching and lightning skill chance does anything? I just started going over passives with the alt keysand this ones says it doesnt apply to any skills I have.. and when get rid of it.. my chain chance is still only 2.
Subject: Legacy Is Built on the Impossible
Hey,
Let me ask you something no one else will.
Do you want to be remembered as someone who mastered the meta…
Or as someone who changed it?
Because a true, endgame-viable Werewolf Bleed build doesn’t exist right now.
Not one that feels savage.
Not one that turns maps into slaughterhouses.
Not one that makes enemies collapse into pools of blood while bosses slowly hemorrhage to death.
And I’m not talking about some cold-conversion gimmick.
Not freezing enemies.
Not shattering screens.
I’m talking about a REAL werewolf.
Claws.
Flesh tearing.
Bleed stacking.
Enemies screaming and bleeding out — not turning into ice statues.
People say it can’t scale.
They say bleed isn’t explosive enough.
They say claw fantasy doesn’t translate into real dominance.
Maybe they’re right.
But every meta was “impossible” — until someone proved it wasn’t.
Anyone can upload another optimized cold build.
Anyone can follow what’s already strong.
But creating a true predator — one that makes enemies bleed, not freeze —
and forcing it to dominate endgame?
That’s how reputations are forged.
That’s how legacy is built.
I’m talking about:
– A real apex predator playstyle
– Brutal claw combat
– Bleed stacking so violently that mobs die in visible carnage
– Real map speed
– Real boss pressure
– No gimmicks. No cold crutches. Just raw execution.
So here’s the real question:
When people look back at this era of the game…
Will your name be attached to innovation?
Or just another cold meta guide?
If anyone can make a blood-soaked werewolf a reality — it’s you.
The hunt is there.
Will you claim it?
what should i take for the attribute is there a number i should aim for ?
I just started playing poe2 3 weeka ago and this was my first build ever😅 and i avsolutely love it, i started a frost wolf(also your build) but the witchhunter is still sooo f*** good 🤤🤤😮💨😮💨
I feel liike my gear is pretty stacked and I have everything matched up with the guide but my boss damage is not nearly as good. Clear is amazing though. I am missing a Heart of the Well but would that one thing really be the huge difference maker?
try using this, thunderstorm lvl 20 for automatically shock. (I use herald of Ice too hence i have high int) then use shovkburst rounds and it clears boss like crazy
Sorry for the spam.. in your video you have a weapon that is all physical damage and you mention everything is converted to Lightning.. where does that happen? Also, did you find that most of your deaths come from ground based things like ignite? Most of my deaths come from me not paying attention and I get chewed up by that damage since it appears to bypass sorcery ward…
I tried this build and it slaps i haven't mid maxed it and it tears through tier 15 maps and destroys temples. It did cost 20 plus div
Like this build but I can't tell if there is an interaction issue or a bug with bosses. I finally got to the place where I can use Berserk.. have enought life regen to counter it… and everything is great. Yet some boss fights its like my life regen stops working.. and my life just declines.. and eventually I die to my own berserk ability taking life. Is this a bug with life regen or is it a bose ability? I turn berserk off and no issue with bosses.
Build is sweet so far not done putting it all together yet but already trashing 15+ maps
I struggle to keep the mercenary alive in hardcore in Act 4 or Interlude
Hi thx for this build. Can not use mirage archer on weapon set 2 dont know why. Hope u will answere
Assuming nothing else changes, it's going to be pretty challenging to league start anything else than this come 0.5 😛
Hi am I missing the "campaign choices" in the mobalytics guide?
What’s the backbag cosmetic that he is using
