Any amount of added projectiles adds +100% attack time on the assault rifle/machine gun type ammos for some reason, but it doesn't scale up past that. Scattershot adds 20% attack time on the single-shot ammos, which might be 10% per bolt but I haven't tested with the Deadeye extra proj to confirm because I only have a Witchhunter. If you stack Scattershot on Shockburst with the Deadeye extra proj it should still end up being 28% more (0.5x attack speed * 4 proj * 0.8x scattershot speed penalty * 0.8x scattershot damage penalty = 1.28x), but then you get less than half as many reloads for Fresh Clip, so, probably still not optimal and can be skipped Hoping to see the attack time fixed. Deadeye proj would be 82% more damage at a 10% attack time increase per proj, and Scattershot would be 60% more for other ascendancies (combining both wouldn't be worth it though, Scattershot + Deadeye is 97% more vs 82% more for just the Deadeye proj)
Voltaic-scatter, exposure, strip, fast forward works well for electrocuting and shocking if you don't want to run a bow. Shield charge and Resonating shield as 2nd weapon for a tankier setup.
Sorry if this is obvious, but obviously in guide you're using Stormcaller, which requires bow to use, but in the video you don't have it in your inventory at all. Do you just grab it when you are doing bossing, and not bother with it through maps and stuff?
If you don't want to shield charge when mapping, just keep it in your weapon slot all the times. If you want to shield charge in maps, you'll have to either keep it in inventory or swap to it before bosses
@@dominickpothier5356 Currently playing as gemling, i just pathed to the ranger, and also got faster reload node. Working like a charm, at least in t12 maps I'm currently in
I banned him for saying it's 100% more damage when it's not even close and being a clown for the last week, I've been thinking about fresh clip for a few days and it required changing parts of the build specifically around it lol
written guide says deadeye is just generally superior. Witchhunter probably still works because it's a strong generalist ascendancy, it just isn't busted like deadeye and starting tree on merc is worse for bolt stuff than ranger because fuck you for not going nade spec on merc according to ggg I guess
In Palsteron's latest video, at the end of the Ascendancy portion he claims Shockburst Rounds does get a DPS increase with +1 projectiles cus even tho it slows the rate down, it shoots 2 at a time. Not sure if accurate or not
would a non-crit invoker with triple heralds and the painter gloves+unbound avatar work? dont wanna reroll to deadeye since I expect tailwind nerfs soon
I don't feel that overpowered just having done the final fight in Trial of the sekhemas, if anything I feel like we're right on the money. I just think a lot of the bosses are undertuned in terms of how much life they have. they should really just... make them a bit tankier so they can actually do mechanics.
honestly leveling with lightning arrow is pretty miserable. I bought good weapons from market every 10 lvls or so, and it still took me multiple minutes to beat bosses in campain. When i switched to Crossbow around act1cruel - my damage skyrocketed. Even when i didn't respec, with old passives

@legalizemarinara ascendancies arent as directly powerful in in poe2 vs. poe1. Deadeye is still superior to wotchhunter but witchhunter as an ascendancy is pretty good. The passive tree I'd say is more impoetant of a consideration than ascendancy in poe2. I think the real problem is that its starting tree (and to be clear, thats what i originally meant and not, like, low level experience which isnt super important to me either way) is really bad, where it lacks any compelling nodes to click that actually support xbow bolt skills. Ranger has a lot of really cracked stuff to go for and has easier access to pure evasion stacking which is cirrently a better defensove layer than armor, which is what merc has more access to.
I swear everyone just has the same build. Your tree looks pretty much exactly like mine and I came up with it solo…there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of variety in this game

Is this some kind of streamer joke? This build can't do anything. Can't even kill white mobs on t10 map. What are you talking about? This is pure garbage. There is 0 damage. Maybe you should start of telling how much investment it needs to be even viable? Straight up nonsense from start to end

Great build, been having a blast with. Love the dmg it does to bosses and the clear speed! On t14 maps atm with it!
I like that your tree looks like a crossbow. Very thematic
You can support Herald of thunder with maim on hit and lightning exposure also.
3:39 how’d you get your shock to go that high? Please answer I’ve been researching for 48 hours straight
thanks for the detailed update!
The first rule of video is to read written guide
The second rule of video is to not ask dumb questions.
Hello - how many str and int nodes did you take on your tree? this is important bc of kitokos needing int and crossbow needing str. Thanks!
You're awesome lady !
Good build, good guide, thank you
Sorry if this is obvious, but obviously in guide you're using Stormcaller, which requires bow to use, but in the video you don't have it in your inventory at all. Do you just grab it when you are doing bossing, and not bother with it through maps and stuff?
You can equip the Bow in the second weapon set and Stormcaller will automatically swap weapon when being used from your skill quickslots
If you don't want to shield charge when mapping, just keep it in your weapon slot all the times. If you want to shield charge in maps, you'll have to either keep it in inventory or swap to it before bosses
Do you know how to use shield charge with crossbows weapon swap? I stuck after the weapon swap
Lightning Penetration instead of Blind on Herald of Thunder?
EDIT: Also, thoughts on Exectute for bosses?
nice guide. Would be nice to see that Invoker in action :)
New to the game, picked gemling and im clueless. Should i switch to deadeye or just cross the ranger path with my merc?
would like to know to as a gemling

why is ranger start 100x better than merc start for xbow bolt skills when its 80% of the xbow skill selection despairge
it's not that it's a better start. deadeye is the better ascendancy
