Just wanna thank you for giving me the reason to play and love the Merc. I hate grenades gaming, and wanted a gemling build but usually it's either Witchhunter, or grenadier (or both) :D. Just found your vid (update 2) like hour ago, and created one, so it's a thrill to see the third part. Keep up the great work!
Can someone timestamp when he talks about using a bow instead of crossbow and the new abilities? seems like he skipped that and went to gameplay video but I may have missed it
@@montanaSD yeah - finding a solid upgrade to get you to high tier maps is going to be a difficult find. I am at the T10-12 map range and my damage is falling off a little bit.
Hi, I'm new to poe and I'm making my own build, but I'm also using Galvaning Shard. Your build inspires me a bit, but it's too advanced for me right now. I have one question, could you explain to me why Overwhelm node is not the optimal choice? It has such high damage. Maybe I don't know something :) Thank you
Man trying to cap res is the hardest for me rn without loosing damage or currency lmao. Just bought an insane. Xbow for one exalt off the market. People are selling. Wild shit for insanely low prices.
@@Kayvz1337 it could help but it would totally change the build from non-crit to crit. You could do it but the tree would change considerably to spec into crit
Currently, the node Afterimage seems bugged. On the stat recap on your profile, it says it increases only the evade chance by 4% instead of 8%. I don't know if it is intend or if the increases is local, not general. Idk.
@@JimjimG that’s a good callout. It appears to change when you increase your evasion rating to a higher number. I was expecting it to be just 8% more but maybe the 8% is meant to be a more multiplier and not a flat addition to your evade chance. Doing calculations now, it appears that is the case.
Hey Antiswipe, check out "DS Lily" vids. She been rockin ranger passive tree skills and this build with passive tree for a while. Maybe you can get inspiration since you rearranged entire tree to ranger side.
@@RealAntiswipe gotcha I honestly didnt watch the video after seeing the whole respec at start. I appreciate you helping alot of mercs get off the boring grenade meta, like me lol!
@@andotski Are you saying you can’t find the herald of thunder option to cut your skill gem to? If that’s the case, it’s possible you aren’t cutting a spirit gem but instead a skill gem. Herald of Thunder is a persistent buff and doesn’t show up on the regular skill list - only spirit list.
@@andotski Its all good. You'll need an Uncut Spirit Gem (at least level 4) and it will give you an option for Herald of Thunder (if you're merc) as the middle option on the first row. Here is what a spirit gem looks like: imgur.com/a/fPKKvX4
@RealAntiswipe let's see... I'm using the Wudijo build... he hits hard too... but he consumes too much mana... he does T15 without a problem... I don't know if Galvanic will reach the same top level...

Antiswipe is the KING of great builds. What a guy!
I am said guy!
Kitoko can also electrocute single bosses I think where herald can’t since it procs on mob deaths.
Love You man keep up the great content and enjoy yourself!

@@RealAntiswipe Thank you!
You're basically popping off atm
I think I did ur build wrong last time I did no dmg but I didn’t understand it so I went mbxs route but this looks nice
Oh and mbxs route has nooo defense either was hard to get used to so def appreciate the allocation into def
hey new sub here very cool build .. should i use the build from update 2 first for leveling and early endgame ? great work
@@Zyz_wow that should work, yes. The very first video was me getting a feel for the build and subsequent ones were me perfecting it
I need a xbow upgrade bad. Just spent all my exalts filling in my jewel slots. Current xbow is around 300dps I’m looking for 500+.

Can this build work with a witch hunter, I am already picked it and i dont know if i can re spec the sub class
Yes but you’d need to change the supports since you can’t use the same one more than once.

whats your opinion on the azis solar amulet unique, seems like it might help this build?

Crazy market just like d4
Acrobatics go hard
@@bappo2693 I intend to go for it but I need more evasion.
you deserve more subs
Looks good, I'm working on my own Galvanic Shard build atm as well but I went Witchhunter

You know there’s a site that allows you to do the tree and test it
Do? Yea, test - not so much 😄
Do you have a link?
I lost interest in Merc because I can't find the herald of thunder in skills, I can't find them huhu

@@andotskia spirit, not a support. There are 3 gem types. Skill gems, Spirit Gems, and Support gems. Herald of Thunder comes from spirit Gems.
Galvanic vs WitchHunter? Same build
I've not tried Witchhunter but I assume it would be a great ascendency to use Galvanic with.
Is this better than grenadier?
@@Xonathan100 better is subjective. I can’t answer that for you - you’d need to try both
@RealAntiswipe let's see... I'm using the Wudijo build... he hits hard too... but he consumes too much mana... he does T15 without a problem... I don't know if Galvanic will reach the same top level...
@@Xonathan100 I don’t know either since I’m not there yet
with grenadier enemies always running away from grenades :D also mana issues
