In regards to the poison cloud explosion, if you can find the unique helm that 100% ignites everything in your vicinity, its just ez mode gas explosions that will carry you to cruel if not maps even
I’ve been running explosive shot and it’s so simple and actually carrying me to almost 40. Just put ammo conservation, scattershot and you’re good to go. If you have more support a lot you can put the attack speed gem too.
I like Magnify Area better than Ammo Support so far. The AOE is massive. Absolutely love this "build" and you only need to press one button. Recommend the "run quicker after killing stuff" passives
Speaking of good uniques for this there's a pair of lvl 33 boots that leave burning ground based on 10% of your max life and that ground itself can pop the gas grenades so you don't need to cast flame wall.
Excellent guide, thanks. It looks like a hefty respec is needed to go from this to the cry build so probably not a good idea to go too far into grenade nodes if you don't have a lot of gold.
One thing i found hard to trigger gas grenades was enemies exploding once on fire. I have this gem (I forgot the name, Ashes or something) that had enemies go on fire and explode upon death. Problen is their explotions don't seem to trigger gas grendate. it's annoying so I'm just running both gas and fire grenades
But what is the fastest way to level my poor warrior who I'm trying to get up for testing crossbow warbringer armor break explosion builds 😅 I wish some of those starting melee nodes were 2H nodes to enable bow warrior right away I found myself keeping Voltaic nades on my skill bar after testing them, I really like spamming a couple on fast trash mobs like squitos because they detonate so fast, or using them as an opener on incoming and tough packs if I might get overwhelmed bc I juiced them up to insta electrocute and shock so they hold still and are debuffed for my follow up nades. I enjoy them so much I want to try respeccing for using Voltaic as my main skill but it'll have to wait for when I can eat the cost if it doesn't work
what support gems should you put in the crossbow itself? am a noob to POE and a little confused about putting the gems in the crossbow slot or in the skills/ammo slot.
Buy/Get Mist Whisper Makeshift Crossbow unique at level 1 and surf to last boss of act 2 no mana no skill no nothing just basic attack with +attack speed and glacial runes in weapon. Before act 2 last boss invest into Galvanic Shard and Lightning Rod (bow skill) and destroy entire screen. Runing both Herald of Ice and Thunder is just icing on a cake.
I was in Same boat with merc. I actually beat him using a ranger bow with fire infusion. I found that the bow actually did more dmg than my other abilities up to like lvl 20.
I ran around and keep dodging and using envonum on crossbow keep poisoning him took me 3 tries though. When he does his ice moves I toss a couple gas grenade and a exploding grenade to get area damage.
I never see anyone in the merc videos using the bonus dmg to enemies with low health. With all the nodes availble in the tree the dmg spike is crazy when you get a boss to 30% health. Het the boss to 30% and its over.
You probably know this but the little checkbox on the lower left corner of the support gems page let you choose from all available. Instead of the reccomended few. Just in case.
Realistically for SSFHC how does is flash/grenade build to go all the way without swapping to cry? Also are you still using armor pen on bosses through the acts?
Grenades are probably a+ tier. Only shoot skill you might want once you get gas& explosive running is the one you can use to detonate your nades in a pinch, forgot name sry, read the fire xbow skilltags, you will see it. I'm currently running it as a gemling while I tinker with the lazerbeam skill, witch hunter is fine too, check deadeye. And if your damage sucks and you can't kill boss before ooming, check your weapon, it's proba the issue. Act2 early is tough till 26 then it's a breeze
X2 desert crossbow at current tier is enough for campaign it seems. I used Phys on my playthrough but the DMG is way lower than just adding flat fire until you get an insane Phys role
I've found quite the opposite actually. Grenades are incredibly strong from level 3 onwards. Early on bosses are a bit slow but just running full Explosive/Flash/Gas grenades is enough to cruis until act 3 and then add oil grenades and explosive shot

Whats the name of that helm?
@@anwar5792 Radiant Grief
Need all the leveling combos since I care more about rerolling and trying what EA has rather than pushing maps right now
Me too
5 hours for all three acts? I can't believe that...

There’s also a helmet that ignites everything on screen, makes the gas grenades instantly explode.

Could we get a written TL;DR? hard to get the info all over
I can't get flash grenade to set off gas grenade for anything. Not even with flash grenade having fire gem slotted.

which is stronger +projectile level or flat fire damage on crossbow?

I find the flash grenade with infuse fire failing miserably at igniting enemies :/
Agreed

You have any guide for this ? I'm new to poe
Thanks for the guide, gonna try main a "gunner" build soon
I’m stuck on Act 1 end boss & I try everything but, Merc dps is too low.
He's a bit rough. I used the fragmentation rounds to kill him personally and it took two attempts.
I was in Same boat with merc. I actually beat him using a ranger bow with fire infusion. I found that the bow actually did more dmg than my other abilities up to like lvl 20.
Use the auto attack....
I ran around and keep dodging and using envonum on crossbow keep poisoning him took me 3 tries though. When he does his ice moves I toss a couple gas grenade and a exploding grenade to get area damage.
Auto attack, lethal tempo and double barrel. Passive down to reload speed, easy 👏
when u say at level 33 I will be able to get a whatever crossbow, wdym? Where?
At certain breakpoints, vendors will start selling new item bases.
@@RaizQT Oh I see thanx
Scatter better on flash than explosive or gas?
I never see anyone in the merc videos using the bonus dmg to enemies with low health. With all the nodes availble in the tree the dmg spike is crazy when you get a boss to 30% health. Het the boss to 30% and its over.
Where do you get magnified effect from? All I have is concentrate?
It's a level 1 support gem.
@@Despond Thanks

@Wimpiethe3 thanks a lot.
@@zergnub7426 No problem. I played a good number of days before learning about it on the internet myself. It's so bloody small a button.
it couldnt possible to get a four links skill scoket throught act1-3 normal

Until you have some gear , merc leveling is slow and painful.

in the video you use Fragmentation Rounds but you say to get Armour Piercing Rounds... what that all about ?
Yeah I would love a written guide tbh.
Fyi. I love armor piercing rounds with pierce and armour explosion.
Why are we using flash grenades over explosive?
Cause the fuse is way shorter?
Shorter fuse, flash grenade does some decent damage, and we can ignite with the proper supports.
Why not use explosive shot, and later you fuse with burning oil ground
