ok how are you getting so much mana regen?? this build is so mana starved i had spec life cost for storm wave and that doesnt work against bosses

whats your pc specs? :D

Let's go! I was getting sick of going bow/xbow for my alts' leveling experience. Thanks LE!

S-tier content, lady. Don't stop.

Graeat guide, thanks! Will try it at holidays, got every unique drops on main, wanted to level alt and this banger guide dropped at right time😊 Happy holidays, cheers!

Isn't widowhail with the highest possible roll on the unique the best ? Like 305% bonus from quiver ? Even if you don't get a 305% anything that's 250% or above still carries you through right ? Then you just gotta spec into Lightning arrow and Rod.

U can also use JARNGREIPR GLOVES from lvl 6 and just stack strenght if u use melee skills and weapon

How well would Hardcore be? with this setup . you died fiew times? or was a breeze

Wow i have almost all of these uniques lol

How can i get wind dancer and im gemling legionnaire

If I may add, using a mist whisper makeshift crossbow(unique) slotted with 2 cold damage runes allows you to easily breeze through act 1 and portions of act 2 as well, it is very comfy to run when you lack aoe early on in the game

Watching Falling Thunder gameplay while I try to level in the campaign using Boneshatter makes my soul hurt 🥺 Really great guide though!!

Great explanation, although it would be good to get a bit more of a walkthrough with another class, e.g is there a specific node to path to first on the passive tree if I’m going monk? Great vid regardless s

thank you for this guide, i got the unique weapon myself recently and going gemling legionare

U kinda sound like emiru XD

Really feeling the lack of any jeweler orbs on my Ranger. Unless you have godly weapons, damage against bosses is horrible. Mobs is fine. Overall I feel like Ranger is not op in early campaign, even though many say so. You have to take only damage nodes to just do okay damage to bosses. My gems aren't even bad but they can only have 2 slots. I think i have no choice but to trade on a Ranger.

NICE

I did this recently on merc and it felt good until cruel Act 3, where it slowed down a bit.

Early Christmas gang!

This is such an amazing, well rounded guide and class thank you so much! Also im quite optimistic that this build will live long, due to its mechanics beeing just a GGG wanted poe2 to be designed.

Huge fan of your content! Thanks for making it more in-depth. Excited to see if there is anything to this.

I've been leveling up following your build since day one-much respect and admiration! (I reworked everything according to the latest version with two weapons, etc. Everything is perfect! Thank you!) But honestly, it feels a bit overcomplicated. It might be way easier to create a build focused on just one weapon with tons of cool features, without all the dual-weapon, dual-tree stuff. Maybe it’s simpler to add an item that gives +100 Spirit and stick to just one weapon with a bunch of auras? Once again, respect and thanks for your videos and guides!

small tip for early game. The stun grenade can help alot with bosses.

POB???

Hey Lazy - excellent summary. SSF update: early mapping w/o Call or Dragons feels like a struggle, but I'm not giving up hope. One thing I noticed: Permafrost Bolts feel better during maps than Glacial Bolt. Glacial destroys during the campaign but during maps it's somehow really bad. Permafrost can freeze mobs with 2 or 3 shots while with Glacial it's somehow a dice roll.

Hi there! I find your build quite interesting and seemingly fun to play! Got a question though, would you swap out your unique belt for ingenuity? And if you do, what kind of rings would you consider? Thank you so much!

How withering is helping since it give bonus to chaos only?

Очень слабый билд, через это восхождение надо играть гранатами😢

agree with your idea of "play what you like, how you like", that's how games should be I watch build videos because the game has so much content and through them you can find about a unique item, or some passives you didn't notice before I play the mercenary permafrost skill, for now, the skill looks very weak, but the kaboom is satisfying 🤩 so ya, play what you like guys 🍻

Should I be putting gems into my crossbow shot?? And should I just use the passive nodes to get the dex/int for gear?

Doesn’t poison scale from hit damage making poison fragmentation weaker than a singular big shot?

Wouldn't weapon with add lightning dmg affix instead of physical be better?

please make your next build SSF build :D

Well played, i was following your guide during the pure ailment spreader with that gloves but stop halfway cuz that gloves become 1 div. Lucky later i got the 3 head drop lmao.

I have to say, this gemling road you've taken us in is amazing. This is my first time playing any PoE and I tried to follow it, but it was too much for me (found it complicated and couldn't get that unique ring no matter how much I tried in the trade site), but still I followed it closely and I loved watching every second of it. In the end I went for another build but still took some things from this one, since I really like the str stacking and survival that comes from it. Found it at all times very informative. Thank you thank you thank you, and happy hollodays

The key point for solo boss are bleed them and poison right?😅 I not sure what am done wrong it take very very long time for pass the boss😢

You know the funny thing that happened to me? I bought both as I thought the helmet will make the enemy freeze faster, turns out, they cancel each other out. Lightning becomes cold, cold become fire, fire becomes lightning and it just infinite loops🤣

I love love LOVE the FAQ aspect of the video. I wish more people would do this (including myself 👀) because it's so helpful to the players following the guide. You're setting the bar real high for PoE2 build guides, keep it up Lazy 😊 Edit - Also, that thumbnail is chef's kiss 🧑‍🍳👌

adwad

Thank you for the well explained video again.. as someone new to poe, I’m learning a lot.. I’m gonna have to reread your guide on how u spawn those lightning balls as I couldn’t recall reading it.. also, how do I pop up the window showing my weapon DPS?

The thing I love most from this series is : *to learn how to learn* 🤨 Hope I can build my own builds with more Lazy’s sense b4 the full release. 😅

Hi lazy, the lightning can build for the early game(act1-6)?😢

I forgot to do this while I was typing my essay.

I really admire your persistence, especially your remark on bosses (3'26''). After leaving a comment on your previous full build guide video, I tried an ethical start of your build. Honestly, everything starts smoothly at first, farming 2 crossbows, constantly upgrading them, skillfully pulling the monsters near your frozen target, positioning yourself to get the best shotgunning (Both skills deal no damage if you are not close to the target enough), aiming your fragmentation round (It's like your grenade. If you miss it, you are punished.). I managed to dodge roll skillfully, giving my best shot and roll out safely. (Thanks to my 10% movement speed boots.) To get the best loot, I tried to skip as many white mobs as possible. I only stopped to kill magic and rare mobs while I was the same level or even 1 level lower than the area. Everything was fine. If there is a sticky situation, I still have my grenades. Not until I reached the Ogham Manor. The map is so narrow. The monsters are so tanky and run so fast that I can't aim my permafrost bolts. I am not sure if they have freeze resistance or I can't get a good lvl 10 crossbow, they just don't freeze. My grenades start to cover me more and more often. Finally, I reached the act 1 boss. The "wolves phrase" was a nightmare. GGG wants the wolves to give us flask charges but the wolves just don't freeze/die. They keep on knocking me back and I can't aim any single of my skills. I reloaded Ogham Manor 3 times to reach lvl 16. (Yes, I was underleveled to get better loots.) I refunded my passives to rush to crossbow reload nodes and I got lucky to get 2 level-5 gems and start using gas grenades + lvl-5 explosive grenades. Finally, I killed the act 1 boss and I found that explosive grenade saved the day (The only DPS window was when he was channelling his big AOE skill. I don't think I am foolish enough to shotgunning him at that moment.). Well, this build was terrible. Please don't get me wrong. I was happy with this bad build and how much you tried to 'survive' with this build. To be honest, I restarted my characters a few times. (That's why I could roll all the way out with this terrible build and reached Ogham Manor at level 14.5, dying only 2 times.) I obviously know that explosive grenade and high velocity rounds perform best at early levels with limited resources. After all, you only need one support gem, scattershot, for both mapping and bossing. But shotgunning 5 cold bolts to freeze the boss and landing a heavy shot feels so good. Mathematically, given the same amount of time, you can do MUCH MUCH more damage with high velocity rounds. Yet, resisting the temptation is so hard and you did it. You make all the way to red maps. I feel so bad that TH-cam don't have a double thumbs up button. You deserve more than one like.

I recently respecced out of this build to a different one, but following along since the first video was a ton of fun and helped me learn the game a lot, great content.

thanks for the video. This format works, at least for me as I'm respeccing from grenades build to this.. One question though, should I replace high velocity with shockburst rounds? I'm still in early map phase, around lv78+ with t5 maps..

Thanks for the end summary of your though process in building this mercenary we're all following. I'm currently in T5, going in to T6. Position wise, I'm at the Early Mapping part of your guide. So far it's going smooth, just a little slow on the single target Boss fights. Other than that, mob clearing is just smooth. I'm enjoying this build, it's just your average bombing merc that's all around the internet. It's very fun to play with, and your build is interesting, that's why I've been following it since the beginning. POE 2 is my first time fully diving in POE, it's so much more expansive than Diablo IV ever was. And I'm just having so much fun, thanks for the build guide. And happy holidays. Can't wait to see your other builds in the near future. Thx

I have been having a lot of fun with your build,was playing the grenade build before but I did not enjoy it that much,got to tier 10,I am having a bit of a hard time with some stuff,but I think it is mostly a skill issue and the fact that I am not really finding a lot of currency,working towards the belt and higher tier maps. Thank you for all the videos,you are amazing

This is awesome thank for putting work into making video. As a Noob. Im now a Better noob.(￣∇￣)
