I was watching the early part of the stream. Watching end of video now surely there has to be something bricked in the build for damage to be that poor. If that's actually 2 cruel. Maybe it's ssf and the gear is way below level?
@ dahell are you talking about💀 No its not. Fastest mapper: Stormweaver temporalis combo if we leave out the funds needed for that lol. Best bosser: Doesnt matter since all bosses are basically oneshot on any decent build with good gear. But tbf titan could be one of the better ones there. But why u think titan is the best? Im actually curious :)
@@NidaGsus he's thinking of armor explode which was nerfed. And the other melee strike depends on having cultist hammer which is bugged and prob be patched
Yo raxx glad to see you try merc one of my fav.. weird gameplay but hope you enjoy. Best of wishes on your health my dude, looking forward to forward to many more years of your advice and build guides
Merc just clicked to me once I got galvanic short earlier, then explosive rounds. Then later on we get shock burst/plasma and we are g2g with single target dps
I may be wrong but it seems like how Merc currently is damage wise is kind of how they planned on building Poe2 overall. Wasn't it directly said that Poe2 wasn't going to be the fly around and blast everything in half a second like Poe1 type game that some monk and sorc builds currently are?
My merc in endgame (T10+ maps) destroyed packs and some elites from 1,5 screens with low dmg galvanic shards. Not as broken as some other builds, but still too much for me tbh.
You know how you said you might as well have used the basic attacks for the act 1 boss? Well that got me thinking so I started a new merc and leveled using scatter shot to turn the basic attacks into a three round burst that actually hits pretty hard, especially paired with lightning infusion for the shock chance. I ended up flipping scattershot back and forth between the basic attack and the basic grenade depending on if I needed more clear or more single target damage, at least until I got galvanic shards to lock down AOE.
This class almost made me quit the game, I'm not even joking. It was so frustrating running out of ammo while being attacked by 10 mobs while you're constantly rolling to avoid damage just to find out you're out of ammo, so you need to get hit a few times while reloading. What an absolute nightmare, I'm just happy I switched to monk and I'm having a blast!
@@Peacekeeper_84 same, took me 40 hours or so to get to level 46 as my first char. After switching to Ranger it was night and day difference. I can 2,3 shots LA every thing and that goes to the entire screen.
Merc is great from the start. Just put scatter and fast forward on explosive grenades and roll into them to keep the enemies there. Defences are good for campaign, stay with evasion and armor. Never change the ammo, that is crap. And second wind on flash.
I watched first bit then came back after work cuz I knew … lol. merc WAS my first character. Hope he finds some hope for us but I’m not going back to it till they fix some things.
Hey mate - if youre eating alot less - make sure you try get as much protein as possible - itll help retain some muscle mass (which is also very important). GL sir
Played merc with my wife (sorc) in coop the first playthrough. The explosion shotgun thing is great if a sorc freezes everything. Exept that this class was boring af.
After playing invoker monk to endgame, and my archmage sparkweaver to endgame, my merc also sucks. It feels awful damage wise. I don't wanna be shoehorned into grenades just for it to feel decent.
he is gonna lose his shit when he tries warrior💀

Titan is the fastest mapping.
Strongest tank and damage dealer.
Ofc after 41 level after getting stampede. And its a fact.

Raxx you can tell tht you are burned out bigtime, might be time to take a break, go get some sunshine

How does Raxx not watching the little videoes at the skill page? It explains the ammo and grenades.😂
Insane
Been waiting for this one. Happy New Year to you.

And the passive tree is one of the easiest to follow around

Permafrost bolts will really help as well as flash grenades. Gas to start for poison ticking. 2:59:03

Right? The basic crossbow shot carries hard in Act 1.

Great rant on education !
Why one grenade? Dude you killing me here?
I am so glad you had the same response. Laughing at you.

I got my merc to endgame... now my spark storm weave is further

Will there be a mercenary leveling and endgame build?
Hmmm, lets see. Last 4 or so classes he did just that. Very probable outcome, what do you think?

Streaming for 8 hours a day will shorten your life by 10 years.
Use your explosive grenades with gas grenades way more damage
Warriors boneshatter AOE is honestly not terrible
perma + fragmented
Merc feels almost impossible unless you se grenades or stat stacking with staff😅
Honestly merc should deal way more damage for its speed penalty... and because theyre fucking guns and explosions
❤
Well...at least it not just me?
I can't progress
Anyone else get stuck in instance loop on Titan Grotto?
Man he really didn't like Merc lol

One of funniest shit ive watched lol
This guy just stays mad all the time lmao
Not really, merc just sucks.
@@taylon5200merc sucks ass till u get the shockburst rounds
@@taylon5200but it doesn't, this guy does
Bots in the comments... how amusing...
Nothing is real anymore... youtube will squeeze these clowns out soon enough
Merc is basically a shotgun build ,you do more damage closer you are
Yeah I was using double barrel fragmented with close combat and. Chunks
