I’ve tried this build, and it can be quite frustrating if it’s not fully optimized. Early on, you’ll likely feel annoyed because it takes time to deal significant damage or even defeat rare enemies. This is especially true if you encounter one with lightning resistance. I highly recommend attempting this build only when you have enough currency to fully develop it.
I’ve tested this build at tier 10, which is where I currently am. I spent a lot of gold refunding my passive skills, and my skill gem is only at 3 slots because upgrading it to 4 is too expensive. I was expecting it to be a significant upgrade compared to the grenade build, but I was immediately disappointed-it felt like a slap in the face. Honestly, it’s probably a skill issue on my part.
@@ikaizerv9823 That's not a skill issue my friend, it's just overall witchunter perfomance atm. You either play HoWa+Doryani setup with ES and Grim Feast(25+ divines) or you just suck at the engame. Even deadeye with a crossbow is much stronger than fucking Witchunter that suppose to be the "crossbow-guy". Sorry for my eng btw.
@@ikaizerv9823 I use something similar to this. I'm level 84, and I can easily kill T15 enemies, except some. The problem is that my damage is not optimized because I'm going in heavy on evasion. but you are right, to get this build going, you need money lol. my crossbow alone was 18 exalt, which made me broke
@ikaizerv9823 highly recommend doing the val orb trick to get 4 slot gems for a matter of exalts. Allows you to follow guides alot better on any class
At level 55 I swapped my grenadier for a bleed build. It looked faster, more sexy, more what I was looking for. Man was it expensive. And man was I wrong! I felt weak, fragile and totally skill-less..... I ended up broke and frustrated. Played 2 more levels and thought that my char was bricked.... Even started a new one. Thankfully to my stubbornness, I was able to respec point by point to my grenades. So the next time I'll switch to something bling bling ...it will only be if I have the right gems, level and gold reserves. I guess this is part of the learning curve.
isn't it is boring to see that every single strongest build is lightning build? wtf? I agreed with them nerfed cold cof builds, they were too much, but from 70% to 4%? basically cof unplayable, frost builds falling off as soon as endgame begins, and I was enjoying playing it in company. I've never even HEARD about fire builds (except warriors bleeding build). I hope they will fix the balance
Wouldn't the INT requirements of the energy shield gear be a problem on this build? Wouldn't your stats be all over the place because you would still need DEX and STR as well for the crossbow requirements?
Anyone know what a tree specced into ES would look like? I've been running a version of this build since release almost and thinking it's time to spec into ES now.
I'm so tired of these Diablo refugees with their videos like "this build will destroy EVERYTHING", "the most BROKEN POE 2 build so far". Bro, this build can barely scratch some t15 naga's back and you know it. Every 1 divine build could to that. Why don't you show us how you can handle some Xesht(even t1). Stop bullshitting people please.
Or, it could be the bow itself. Some bows give you an extra shot as the implicit modifier and then you can get another shot through the suffix/prefix modifier
The third way and probably the real reason… is the fact that he is using the support skill Fork which causes the arrows to split into two after hitting the first enemy
What a perfect opportunity. I was just thinking that I would love to play mercenary for a bit as long as I don’t play grenades. I was seeing too many people using the grenade playable and this rapid fire lightning ammo is more my style.
the crossbow used in the video has no elemental damage buff was wondering if it increased damage or if it all scales so hard off of physical its not worth?
Switched from the lame-ass grenade to this and I love it. I'm only lvl 23 and this saying you need to have everything to be viable is wrong. They're probably very bad at this game. They should go back to playing Concord. This game doesn't hold your hand.

Yall really should explain how unrealistic and expensive these builds are.

this is what happens when you want nerfs, they'll nerf it till the point where it's absolute shit and force you to play a different build.
Merry Christmas.
Love the shoutout to watch aer0, he's made such good videos about the merc in Poe2 and hopefully your shoutout gives him more attention!

about 52 int will make you a glass canon but you'll pop if you are not dodging constantly

gemling legionnaire work?
Is there any way to do a leveling build of this build?
t5-12 maps showcase, wow at this maps every build one-shoting enemy

Shut up. Who cares. Beating the hardest thing in the fame gets you what exactly?
I did the shock beginning build for dragon age it was whack
Sorry to ask this, but my Galvanic only has five shots, how do I get seven?
I would assume through increasing it’s quality, hold the inspect button when looking at the skill and it show at the bottom of the skill window

you aren't using zealous inquisition? you are losing more so much damage

Grenades is boring. Topside shooter is more more fun.👍
need more build videos on starter into end game . this build is rubbish at start could hardly kill anything had to go back to nades
65 days wilds
Yeah I’ll stick with grenades its way more fun
the crossbow used in the video has no elemental damage buff was wondering if it increased damage or if it all scales so hard off of physical its not worth?
all phy dmg will convert to lightning/fire/cold depending of which skill you playing
I regret so much picking gemling...
don't, gemling is so much better
@ryuhayabusa3540 care to elaborate on that please? Since WH seems to have higher sigle target damage?
@@Badlkit doesn’t, gemling is more broken that invoked even as a stat stacker
Well that was boring
bb my 5 slots explode granade gems...
