Path of Exile 2: New Tech for Permanent Shock uptime on Endgame Bosses. Works on any build.

[@fearlessdumb0]

Link to the write-up / weapon swap info here: mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/frostferno-witch-hunter-fearless-dumbo EDIT2: Don’t use a pierce quiver EDIT: Voltaic Grenade is terrible at shocking bosses without investment, the 800% more shock on Stormcaller requires zero investment.

[@АндрейВолгин-й3и]

@fearlessdumb0 The guide says that both auras (Herald of Ash and Wind Dancer) on bosses should be changed to the Attrition aura. Why give up an Wind Dancer aura, the spirit should be enough for two (Attrition and Wind Dancer)?

[@LucasLeeK]

Nice tip! There is a cluster of shock magnitude node on the right side of the tree that we can take advantage of with weapon set skill points, boosting the shock to 50%, but will require respeccing ~16 points as we can only travel to it from the top and not through the jewel slots from the bottom 2 paths.

[@hllw-ti8jw]

What about annointing it on amulet?

[@fearlessdumb0]

Yea, it was easy peasy to just weapon swap points over to Frazzled to get to 50%.

[@jam201984]

Thanks been following since launce keep up the great work.

[@nantucket_]

wow this takes the build to another level! Gonna def give this a try and work in the weapon swapping. This seems like a no-brainer easy extra dps

[@manaspoken]

Maybe use voltaic mark for another 30% magnitude of the shock, and weapon swap might be able to reach frazzled + it’s req nodes for another 75% increase?

[@fearlessdumb0]

Yea those are good ideas and on the docket for tomorrow. Some testing to be done

[@ltmaniac]

One thing to note is to not get a quiver with 100% pierce implicit or pierce suffix. It’ll make it harder for you to apply shock as the arrow will pierce the boss and won’t get the debuff from the follow up shock.

[@fearlessdumb0]

Yes I’ll leave a note in the pinned comment, thanks!

[@ltmaniac]

@@fearlessdumb0np! I made that mistake when I bought a random quiver with the implicit on it and couldn’t apply shock haha. Only cost me 1EX, so not too bad.

[@ccoospeh]

On the point of socketing supports onto wind dancer, if you have spare int support gem capacity you can also socket + gem level supports(as it is a triple elemental skill) on to Sorcery Ward to reduce the recharge delay, though it's only -0.1 seconds per gem level gained.

[@Stellar_Lake_sys]

I've been using a lightning warp based weapon swap for my high uptime shocks on bosses. pretty easily got it to be 50% shock, and I have the ground lasting 14 seconds. but I'm running a galvanic shards/ shockburst rounds setup, so I already had some investment. an added bonus, the ball lightning you need to make it work for bosses can be made to travel a decent bit faster than your move speed, so you can use it as a janky 2 button travel skill while mapping

[@ThomasBachler01]

I think a good way for them to nerf this is to make it so that Stormfire lets every application of ignite extend the shock by the same time as the duration of the ignite and that Radiant Grief only counts as 1 application that just never expires. That way they don't destroy the benefit that Radiant Grief brings and also don't take a away the ability of ignite builds to have free shocks.

[@antonlindstrom1085]

my weapon points is the same atm. can you show in the next video what you respeced out of for the frazzled points plz. For me if i swap to the bow and remove a skill from the tree its also removed for the xbow tree. dont know what im doing wrong here!

[@NikELbErGErBergel]

ive been using the unique boots that drop shocked ground and shockcaller arrow for enemies i cant get close to on my shockburst rounds build never even thought about stormfire with that helmet i might work this into my build somehow

[@biancoyork7584]

I'm having problems with the stat requirements for the items, any suggestion? Thanks for the guide !

[@ltmaniac]

Do separate passive trees on weapons swap. Spec out of all your grenade and crossbow nodes on weapon swap 2 and spec into attribute and magnify shock (it’s on the right side near ranger section). If you’re still having issues (you really shouldn’t) then get a quiver with +dex on it.

[@Juggs_WoW]

How are you solving your spirit and attribute needs? I'm finding trying to swap to defensive pieces I'm loosing too much int/dex/spirit etc to keep spirit skills active (and supp gems) or having to balance dex/str to keep gear and skills/spirit buffs also on.

[@fearlessdumb0]

My spirit is just the default 100, I have no additional spirit currently. Stat wise I’m 130/120 or so, I think I have maybe 10 are worth of headroom I balance my gear with the stats I have access to.

[@avalokiteshvara113]

Why not just use stormfire on voltaic grenade?

[@fearlessdumb0]

Because it doesn’t have an 800% more shock multiplier. I’ve trialed both on bosses and the grenade doesn’t shock reliably without a LOT of investment

I'm following the build well. The cooldown for gas grenede is too long So it's often ignored. how can I reduce it?

[@fearlessdumb0]

I have CDR basically everywhere except as a support. You could use the CDR support too if you want, that’s an option

[@AyyyyyyyyyLmao]

I don't think I've ever seen a youtube vid in this aspect ratio

[@LucasSmaks]

I'm using your build, but with the great voltaic, and I can apply shock in a legal way until the question is, is the herold of ashes necessary? Since we already applied the ig to the enemy and we have too many explosions already, wouldn't another buff be better?

[@fearlessdumb0]

The options are pretty bad. The Attrition buff is amazing on bosses (I switch to it for really tanky ones) but otherwise not a lot out there. Overkill damage from Ash is good in content like Breach.

[@LucasSmaks]

@@fearlessdumb0 So tell me for more damage, wouldn't it be Elemental Conflux because it gives 40%+ elemental damage, thus giving more damage to the gas grenade?

What do you think about the amulet blood of xoph? Is it worth using?

[@zrainge]

Are you just slamming mana pots or do you run inspiration in your 6L? I'm having mana issues and considering dropping fire infusion in the link

[@fearlessdumb0]

I'm running a full damage 6L, I have a mod on one ring that gives 17 mana per enemy killed and it makes a mana potion unnecessary. For bosses I have enough mana regen / mana pool that its not a big deal, though I will alternate flash/gas sometimes if mana gets low. I need to trade one piece of gear for more mana and then I think I'll have enough to perma-sustain gas

[@CallOfDutyVodka]

I read the mobalytics about ignite not being the way to go, which way would this be shifted and is the gear going to change much?

[@fearlessdumb0]

Nothing in the game guide changes, I’m doing shock+ignite still, and it works great. I’m not using Ignite as my main damage dealer though which is what I was expecting pre-launch

[@CallOfDutyVodka]

@@fearlessdumb0 Ah alright thanks for the clarification, I've been keeping track of your updates and videos. Absolutely love the class and finding something fun to do with it so I appreciate the detailed guides and play so much fun.

[@Juggs_WoW]

What's your thoughts on using The Dancing Mirage Wayfarer Jacket?

[@fearlessdumb0]

It’s awesome, I actually used a very similar item in PoE1 on all my league starters called Kintsugi. It’s a great item if you can manage the stats, but you’ll want to push evasion a bit and have a decent life pool because armour won’t be saving you from the smaller hits

[@Souei_1]

Hey fearless, i currently running with no mercy ascendancy point and its really nuts, unfortunately need to drop 1 node and i choose the explode one, but dmg in rares and bosses raised significantl, did you tested it out?

[@Souei_1]

I was running without sorcery ward for short time, but there are a lot of elemental things in maps, i died a lot without it for death effects of rares

[@obZen327]

What is the downside to the bow having less physical dmg?

[@fearlessdumb0]

It's just less lightning damage in the end. It's not a huge deal so long as you can shock. I haven't tested what the threshold is for various boss levels, but the bolt does 100% phys conversion to lightning which is why you also want physical damage.

They are 6-7ex on trade. That’s totally worth it. Make sure you set “currency” to Exalt only, the trade website is notorious for listing Divines incorrectly. Don’t buy in divines

[@ZomgZomg007]

dumb q, but what does shock do to bosses ;o?

[@fearlessdumb0]

Not dumb at all, I should have explained it. Shock causes the affected person to take increased damage as a % of the shock. So 50% shock would mean they take 50% Inc damage. Because of the way it is applied it ends up being another damage multiplier for the damage we deal on top of everything else.
