For those of you who have asked how to get dual crossbows working with the two skills in the video, I made a highlight video you can check out: www.twitch.tv/videos/2325522029
Your explanation of how the damage output is generated and how the support skills synergize with the weapon skills was excellent-it really helped me grasp this build. I've already cleared Acts 1, 2, and 3, and now that I'm in Cruel, everything feels amazing!
You can do both, literally! I’ve been running a similar build with gas and it’s incredible. Doesn’t have to be one or the other until endgame min-maxing.
@@RealAntiswipe Thank you for the awesome build! Another question if I may,; do you think it would be possible (or feasible) to have a dual crossbow setup combining your build with the good ol' gas nade build? Best of both worlds!!
@@Badlk Possibly but you'd need to scale your damage differently - go for more elemental nodes than lightning nodes since the gas nade build is poison/fire.
Hey nice buidl! You should consider using skill speed under the right big lightning section. This is not only buffing your attack speed, but also the reload of the weapon Also i would go electrocute on shards and would split the tree using the weapons slot passives differently, one with electricute build up and shock chance + the electrocute node which increase the damage taken of the enemy by 20% The other slot would stack more added dmg, this way you have a safe taser playstyle with tons of damage. The maximum lightning damage seems pretty pretty nice, I will include that in my build
So, if you don’t have any flat lightning elemental on your Xbow, how would Elemental% with attacks help us? Just like the Physical% its mainly just boosting the xbow base up. So in your case, if it had say 100% Elemental with Attacks, that would bump you 1-7 Lightning on bow, to 2-14 instead and nothing else, correct?
@@verymental6999 I need to test this more but I believe it also factors in the other added elemental damage you have from other sources (rings, gloves, etc.).
Hey man, quick question about the dual crossbow action. When you swap crossbows, how do you make it shoot the loaded bolt instead of loading the previous shot? When I swap if I have galvanic loaded, for instance, the other crossbow will load galvanic on left-click instead of just firing. Build rules, by the way.
@@bigsweetness509 ah, that was the thing I forgot about mentioning/explaining! I’ll post a clip about it and put the link here - thank you for the reminder!
Took a while for me to work this one out as well. To take advantage of 2 xbows, each with different ammo loaded, allowing you to seamlessly swap between them when firing - there are a few steps involved. 1. Understand that each xbow has it's own auto-attack skill you can find in the gem UI. You'll need to bind them separately. E.g. I bound xbow1 to left click, xbow2 to right click. 2. In the gem UI, besides each skill there's a right arrow which triggers an extra info panel. At the bottom of this panel you can assign the skill to a weapon slot (super easy to miss this). Assign one ammo to xbow1 and another to xbow2. 3. When you use the ammo skills, they'll only load up (and reload) the ammo into xbow they're assigned to, and you'll see that reflected in the auto-attack icons that you've bound in step one. 4. Now when you auto-attack (depending on the binding you click), it auto swaps between the weapons. It's not the most fluid thing in that you need 2 keybinds to make this work, but it's effective nonetheless.
So is the mark what make you shock so easily and make the shock last so long? I'm playing a witch hunter version of this build I found. I love the clear its great but the bossing has been rough because it takes so much to get a shock and during 1 shock I can get off 1 round of shockburst out then its spending a ton of time trying to get shock back.
@@RexZShadow yep! The mark makes it super easy to shock. You could also try using Plasma Blast to inflict the shock. It takes some wind up time but it is well worth it. One thing I’m doing is using plasma blast to inflict a shock that lasts somewhere between 11-12 seconds. Before I inflict that shock, I cast the mark to increase the magnitude of it.
@@RealAntiswipe Almost at plasma blast I hope it make it better. Ya clear is amazing I love it but bossing has been really rough starting end of act 3 normal. Halfway through Act 1 cruel now and its just like taking forever to get shock off get like 20% dmg then forever to get another shock off. If I could get constant shock off boss be a breath XD
Have you tested with off / on if Lasting Shock does anything on Mark? Also I think with all our Reload from Passive, I dont think very useful with that 0.20 second faster reload on Shockburst. Better to swap to more dmg like Freshclip 17-18% dmg/Elemental Focus 25% dmg/Tempo/Lightning Penetration.
@@verymental6999 I haven’t tested lasting shock thoroughly for the mark - that’s a good idea. I’ve switched up my support gems a bit since the video. I intend to release an update today.
@@RealAntiswipecool. I just wasted 400k gold trying someone elses build who thought he had perfected it. It had some plusses, but the negatives where more dmg, A LOT less shock/electro on bosses.
@@RealAntiswipe looking forward to that video, from the description of herald it _shouldnt_ proc it either, but i got a feeling you've tested something. looking forward to what you've cooked up to help us out :)
@@montanaSD ah yea i see it now, he didnt have that in his moba. I even tried slotting it in herald, but couldnt get it to procc as consistently still. thanks for solving this mystery lol
What do you think about Kitoko's Current gloves? It give's you Lightning damage from Hits Contributes to Electrocution Buildup or better use powerfull gloves and make electrick shock by skills?
@@IbragimKhamkhoyev those are good gloves - it should improve the defensive capability of the build. You’d need to fill out your res elsewhere though and for me, my gloves give me ~70 res. Hard to replace them
Man I literally just chose witchhunter ascendancy and now I found this video.. Also going for lightning merc. I really want to change ascendancies now but they don't let you? Don't wanna start a new character..
@@MaximusProxi this can still work for Witchhunter - you should be able to follow most of what I bring up since the idea is the same but the supports are different.
any tips for someone who just swapped over from grenade launcher build? i may hav bricked my passive tree cause im doing no damage against mobs + bosses
@@TheNumberF5ve I would be happy to help - could you put in your passive tree and gems into MobaLytics so I can review? mobalytics.gg/poe-2/planner/builds
@@noticiascripto4871 This is actually a great question. Since the armor isn’t very expensive, I’ll buy one and try it out. Might be the edge we need for super endgame damage
@@noticiascripto4871 I found out that the Mana Siphoner monster mod does a lightning degen. I'm thinking we can scale accuracy and go far shot to help mitigate it though. Still has to be tested though.
how are you triggering electrocute with galvanic shards? i use the exact same gems and its just not electrocuting them, while I see you almost instantly get them electrocuted and stunned?
@@RealAntiswipe i tried with your setup after watching your video but its not proccing at all while i see in your maps you stun them instantly. electrocute itself says its special and unless a skill specifically says so, it should'nt build electrocution. none of the passives says it enables this either, just help buildup (but i tested with them just incase). Electruction itself says "Only lightning damage from hits with specific skills of effects contributes to electrocution buildup". Voltaic Grenade for example specifically says it has more electrocute buildup. I'm really interested in this because I tried to make an electrocute build going just like yours but I just dont get it :(
@ hmm, let me check over my gear/tree compared to yours. Can you add in your skills+supports and passive tree into MobaLytics and send me the link? mobalytics.gg/poe-2/planner/builds

Is that what you're doing or are you telling me that I should try this? I was using Voltaic Grenade before but I didn't want to spec into both bolt and grenade nodes.

If you can, try to get Kitoko's Current. That glove electrocutes enemies every 1 or 2 hits.
@@Nemesis.Project1 I’ll check into it - the problem then becomes filling in my res since I get about 70 res from my gloves
Gloves works well, until you get his chest- then stack max 90% fire res, add Sorcery Ward… and you will have a good time T10+
Hey, awesome video, was looking for a build since my setup is seems weak. Could u do an update since lighting infusion got nerfed?

Sure! Neversink created a preliminary filter for those who wanted it: www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/s/BAK7fnj5b9
Seen the kiriko gloves that make you electrocute? You don’t electrocute otherwise and you have some electrocute nodes taken I see.
he's electrocuting them all the time, im so confused HOW though, but you can clearly see they are stunned and have the electrocute icon.
