[PoE2 EA] Galvanic Shard Gemling Legionnaire - Update 2

[@AxaZol]

Thanks for your work. It ispired me to use lightning build. =) I'm a whichhunter, so i cannot use supports twice, so... Shockburst Rounds: Concentrated Effect (+40%) - because i beleave the pulse is the main source of damage and it is aoe damage Fresh Clip - only works after reload. If you use 2 crossbows and second one is already loaded - no bonus at start of shooting. So, in real situation you get around 50-70% of support bonus, depends on situation. More if you use one crossbow and high reload speed. Elemental Focus (+25%) - because the skill not for ailments There's no need for any support for electrocute buildup if you're using Volt Grenade, which does it almost instantly (at least for non unique mobs). Just support it with an extra projectile and take some buildup passives (Coursing energy). Additionaly, if you get enough INT and 135-140spirit, you can setup a Cast on shock + Conductivity + Inspiration + Persistance(if you gemling), and replace Overwhelming Presence. For gemling - you can place second Canibalism into Invocation, if your spirit allows it.

Interesting setup you have here. I'm also running a Gemling. I decided to focus on Voltaic Grenade. Running Doryanis as well with -100% lightning res. Instead of going for light damage, I went for armor, evasion, chaos resists. Seems to be working well. I think I'm going to try with Galvanic Shards and see what I get.

[@RealAntiswipe]

@@Distractd1 very cool! I would love to see your build more closely - going Doryani’s seems like a cool idea

[@eddyram4932]

This will be my build when I make a second Merc💪 except I’ll be a Witch Hunter. My Gemling is a grenadier rn.

[@nencychannel6338]

Nice video , Thanks bro ❤

[@juliii199]

still update bro! i follow the same build, and check always your changes, thanks.

[@chicomaru]

Fairly new to the genre but i wanted to ask about the difference of witch hunter and the gemling with this build.

[@RealAntiswipe]

@@chicomaru you’ll have to go over the ascendancies separately since I don’t have a version of that build to showcase

[@jetbuenaventura6090]

Does flat lightning damage perform better than "adds lightning damage to attacks," or does the latter simply not work as intended? For context, I found better gloves with strong key stats and more lightning damage through the "adds lightning damage to attacks" modifier. However, my previous gloves had a storm rune, and the weapon skill panel still shows higher damage with the old pair, despite the new ones having higher lightning damage. Any advice?

[@jetbuenaventura6090]

Update, Herald of Thunder and the plasma saw an increase with the new gloves. However, Galvanic and Shockburst experienced a decrease.

[@RealAntiswipe]

@@jetbuenaventura6090 storm rune in your gloves doesn’t give any damage - it’s purely just lightning res. There is something else going on there.

[@Sinckx]

I'm really glad I found this video becasuse i wanted to play a build very close to this. Could you update the mobalytics guide with a short bit about what your stat requirements are? your nodes don't have what you took for the stats so it makes it a bit of guess work to follow i sniped through your video and see youare 113/133/54

[@RealAntiswipe]

@@Sinckx good call! I didnt notice that mobalytics didn’t capture my attribute selections.

[@jtk1141]

In your moba build, you mentioned to have 2 separate weapons for galvanic shard and shockburst round. Could you please expand on this? I don't really get what to look for on each one. Seems like it would be the same crossbow.

[@RealAntiswipe]

I made a quick video explaining here: www.twitch.tv/videos/2325522029

[@jtk1141]

@@RealAntiswipe Oh, i understood the mechanics of how it works. I was wondering why you have 2 separate xbows and how they're different. Like what to look for in a galv xbow vs a shockburst xbow. Ty for the vids!

[@RealAntiswipe]

@ ah, gotcha. You can look for the same stats on each - but I have been using my less damaging xbow for the shock burst. The general consensus for mods is flat phys > % phys > ele damage with attacks > attack speed

[@jtk1141]

@RealAntiswipe thank you so much for answering me with these responses. Sorry if im pestering and I'm probably missing something super obvious but could you explain why you're using the less dmg xbow for shockburst

[@RealAntiswipe]

@@jtk1141 Having clear speed damage rather than boss/rare damage is better when you're getting swarmed in maps. You can swap it if you'd prefer to do more damage to rares/bosses.

[@tylermcdonald4138]

Comment for the algorithm.

[@ViolenciaJibarita]

Have you tried the kitoko gloves? The provided eletricute build up 100% on lighting dmg

[@RealAntiswipe]

I haven't tried it directly on this build but I'm aware of the gloves.

[@RealAntiswipe]

@@ViolenciaJibarita I am testing the kitoko gloves and yes - they are omega OP lol.

[@Sandyddm]

If I don’t have 4 support gem slots what 3 would you recommend for galvanic and shock burst.

[@RealAntiswipe]

You can leave out Primal Armament since the others either give more overall damage or utility.

[@wildvoices_br]

I'm sorry about my question, but what is all this lightning coming from above? Is it from a skill gem ou a semifinal skill? Thanks!

[@RealAntiswipe]

Its from Herald of Thunder

[@boardgame-v1n]

How Do you get the perma Herald of thunder at the top left?

[@RealAntiswipe]

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. If you're asking about the buff itself, you just need to right click the skill in your skill gems list, and it turns it on. If you're asking about how I continue to have the numbered buff next to the herald buff indicator, it is because I'm killing shocked mobs.

[@boardgame-v1n]

@@RealAntiswipe ah i was confused, the herald buff indicator is not showing on my char. only when im killing mobs. ithought since you had 2 symbols it was something i get from an item or something

[@jhinja620]

Question: how is your DPS showing on your galv shards? Or is it just a ps5 bug that mine isn’t?

[@RealAntiswipe]

It might be a ps5 bug. I don't know how it looks/works on ps5 but you should be able to expand the skill's tooltip pane (the arrow to the right of where the DPS should be) and you should be able to see the damage from there.

[@hosannapraisegod9286]

Is this build updated on mobolytics

[@RealAntiswipe]

@@hosannapraisegod9286 yes - it should be

[@hosannapraisegod9286]

@@RealAntiswipe Ok thank you ,and how are you able to get more gem slots for your skills I only have three?

what are good stats for jewels on that build?

There’s a special place in hell for people that play with the map overlay on 😂

[@RealAntiswipe]

@@heaych lol - I’ve played all my ARPGs that way (started back when I first played Diablo 1 in ‘98) 😂

Bro hope you achieve the tank version to delete those pinacle bossess

[@RealAntiswipe]

@@Ersb99 Yeah - I’m going to make a final video about the build (probably today) discussing that this version of it is DOA beyond T8s. I’ve done a major respec on the character and went for evasion, kitoko’s current, and a regular bow as a swap.

[@jtk1141]

@@RealAntiswipe oh dam, good thing i saw this message right before I was about to respec. LOL. Short on cash so would rather save for the endgame build.

[@RealAntiswipe]

@@jtk1141 yeah, I spent ~400k gold to respec it. I really thought it was gonna take us to red maps
