THESE GLOVES ARE INSANE!!! - Pure AMMO Witchhunter - Build Update! - Path of Exile 2 EA

[@Gustavo-ix3ut]

Level 70 and using this build on endgame, working very well so far! Thx for the videos

[@lebotkill3r]

Anyone who is stuck at Act 2 boss: you need a good crossbow. Give priority to flat damage increase, even if it is white. Then you have to upgrade it by crafting, if you have all the orbs then good, use them on it, use two artificer's orb, and in both slots put iron rune which increases your physical damage to 40%. if you do not have the crafting items then wear all the loot rarity increase items and go to the vaults/underground shrine in Keth. Farm the map a few times until Azarian and by then you should have all you need. Then for the boss fight, lightning res to 50+ percent is recommended. but more important is to have a boot which allows movement +20 percent. this allows you to kite his attacks quicker than dodge rolling. Also put corrosion support gem with gas grenade which will lower the armor, use magnified effects on that also. Then use your high velocity rounds. if you have a good bow with high physical damage, you'll be surprised by how fast his hp pool melts.

[@MomchilKiryakov]

Why is it better to add iron runes over lightning dmg runes to the crossbow? Does it scale better with physical dmg?

[@lebotkill3r]

@ at this point you wouldn’t have enough passives in the skill tree to truly up the lighting dmg. In this level for single rares and bosses high velocity is better for dps

[@jacobfierro1749]

Build looks fun as man, was doing grenades but I hate waiting for them to explode not my style, going to save up my gold and respec into this! Thanks heaps man

I've been following along with your build, progressing into maps now, feeling AMAZING. Crazy defense with the electrocution gloves etc. I wake up and refresh your guide page to see the changes in real time, BIG thanks for keeping that up to date daily, cheers. One question, I just set up Cast on Shock curse, it doesn't seem to proc very often? I'm probably missing something.

[@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr]

Thanks, hope it's not costing too much gold lol. As for curse, are you shocking?

[@srag2117]

@@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr I haven't needed to respec much, golds all good. I spec'd into your current setup skill and support wise, I should be shocking. I'm running lower level conductivity and herald though due to int constrains. Need to do some gear shopping / crafting.

[@srag2117]

@@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr Forgot to mention, it feels awesome 'juicing' each mag with emergency reload on shockburst and high velocity so the buffed rounds are loaded and ready to go.

[@Adrianreinabr]

Hello friend, how are you? Will you update this guide? I see in the link that it is not the same as in this video.

[@aranox]

i wanna make a pathfinder version of this mostly cuz i have a pathfinder stranded mid act 2 and already have a mercenary but he's gemling melee and i am getting a bit tired of him but i also dont wanna level up another merc plus there're already enough witchhunters out there i'd probably just go with the flask nodes from pathfinder and can get some solid during flask effect nodes obviously for defense this would just be evasion + movment speed for easier dodging and overcharged flasks

[@StinkyMick99]

I’m a new arpg player i also use the galv shards, I’m going to copy ur build sir thank you

[@subtlefps]

Pretty good for spark too until you want to build es or mana more. Dropped these in acts and used them for a while

[@Jubumby]

I'm running a very similar build, im thinking about running a trinity though, the general element boost is really good. Only grenade i'm using is oil to combo with rapid fire for bossing

[@darkauscus]

Any idea why my Merc skills say LOAD before the name and yours do not. Like for example Load Galvanic Shards, yours in the menu just says Galvanic Shards. Thanks

[@Archon0fKaos]

Each shot type is the load skill, then you use the CROSSBOW SHOT skill to shoot all ammo types after loading, it confusing at first as well

[@darkauscus]

@@Archon0fKaos also I realised on controller is says LOAD on all my skills, if I switch to mouse and keyboard the UI changes and it only shows the normal skill name....strange, maybe a UI bug not sure.

[@fenris.507]

I am using the Lightning Rod ability and have added a bow on my Mercenary to use with the Shards, chains everything like crazy..im just on act 2 no clue how this will work with endgame, but so far, it feels amazing and it's kind of cool adding a bow to swap to.

[@iwanttobeyoursenpai]

@Bigdaddy How did you make your Atlas skill tree?

[@Ghisper]

Thank you so much for your guide, of course I had to spend money to make respec, but I started to enjoy playing on a mercenary, because I also don't like delayed damage and spam grenades, I didn't quite understand what kind of gloves they were and I can't find them on the trade

[@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr]

Look at the glove name in planner and search on trade site.

[@albertogreene8144]

Can you please explain why you take armor/evasion skills over projectile damage in your skill tree? I love this build but wouldn't projectile damage give you more dps? Your way is more survivability no? I'm no theorycrafter at all, just asking for my own education. thanks.

What would you put as a 4th-5th support for Galvanic Shards? I still use High Velocity to finish some nasty rares, so some usufull ones are there... That 1 use limit is killing me.

[@richardcipicchioii8107]

I was lucky and got the 5 link skill. What other supports would you suggest?

[@EmptyBells]

Nice buildup dude. I think my build is lil bit stronger, cause i combined that with elemental crit chance, on the bottom right of the skill tree

[@darkauscus]

Where can I farm those Gloves? thanks

any ideas where to get the low level spirit gems?, seems like GGG just missed another thing and there is no way to get the low level gems when u are progressed through the game, but a lot of gems are just have useless level bonuses but high requirements

[@Medicmedicmedic]

Hello kind sir, I’m trying to socket support gems into the cast on shock but the game says none of them are supported. Just wanted to bring that to your attention. Love the simplicity of the build and beginning to hit a wall

[@avalokiteshvara113]

check the tags on the support skills, if the don't match any of the ones on cast on shock then you can't. You have to read the tooltips

[@Medicmedicmedic]

@@avalokiteshvara113 I see thanks for replying to me. I’m new at this, so thanks for your patience. I’m still racking my brain here trying to see how those gems you’ve got on the build to fit on the cast on shock gem. Am I missing energy or another gem to synergise with that to work? And what tooltips? I’m on ps5 and I’ve been pressing every button and searched the internet

[@Medicmedicmedic]

I just realized how to do it! I placed the conductivity spell gem on the cast on shock. Voila. Gonna play with this and see how it feels on cruel act 1. Thanks so much and keep em coming

[@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr]

You need to first socket the skill you want to trigger. It should work after that.

[@UTOOOOOOOY]

have you tried plasma rounds?

[@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr]

The big charge up thing? Yea I did, it was good but felt very clunky. I prefer to have high velocity as my 3rd shot ATM. It's one of those, sometimes amazing, sometimes shit skills lol

[@Potato-td7zu]

Any suggestions on what to do when the electrocute build up is painfully slow? Your HVR does 10 percent per click whilst mine does 2~3 percent, sometimes 5 on bosses. This makes build up very slow and painful. Level 68, 86-294 phys damage on my bow.

[@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr]

When this happens to me I just wait for shock to proc and then dps. Another option is to swap hvr for the lightning grenades or lightning rod bow swap. I'm trying to find a better way to proc this myself ATM lol

Why is the Build Link not Working ?

[@metalrayne1]

Why not spec’ing into crit chance and crit damage near the crossbow pattern in your passive tree?

[@LegulasRS]

crit is too hard to get this early on. you just want raw damage for early levels.

[@AngrosLive]

Hey @Bigdaddy - i like your content very much and i'm glad to see how you progress. I'm playing too and our Builds are kinda similar, but also different. Very intersting. My Build is more build around Grenades. Our Damage is similar too, but your damage comes first (Galvanic Shards). Your Single Target Damage is pretty good, tbh, but mine is higher. On the other Hand my Ramp-Up time is higher duo to fuse time. Overall i to lightning Damge to, but use fire Damge (Explosive Grenades) for big boy enemys. My downside is the "small" window to damage them effectivly, duo to fuse time. I'm using Flash 'nades to create this time, in combination with a initial electrocute stun. You skilled more into dmg but i'm a more tanky. Very cool to see how people play with their own Builds right now. i would like to talk to you and theory-craft a couple of things, in terms of "early" mapping and kinda real endgame, just to have a very solid plan and to help our communitys.

[@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr]

Sure, jump in the discord! There's a lot of us chilling there

[@MeWaMars]

Hi! I have a grenade build but I don't really like the gameplay. I'm level 35 and I chose the other anscendancy... can I still try your full ammo build?

[@eddyram4932]

Yes, this would work on Legionnaire too, you just won’t have the white explosion, but you get easier access to the curse spell since Legionnaire has a node that lets you use your highest stat for all skill gems👍 so instead of stacking Int, you can just stack Dex/Str.

[@MeWaMars]

@eddyram4932 Thanks bro ! I have already made the build change. I like the gameplay a lot more and I beat the boss of act 2 easily!

[@samuel7661]

shockburst rounds + elecrocyte or shock is insane single target dps. try it out :P
