Overview
A Path of Exile 2 Mercenary lightning build pairs skills like Voltaic Grenade or Galvanic Shards to inflict shock with Shock Burst Rounds to deliver explosive damage.
Support gems such as Lightning Infusion, Elemental Focus, and Primal Armament enhance lightning and elemental damage, contributing to 3,600 DPS.
Effective combat requires targets to be shocked first since Shock Burst Rounds deal weak damage to unshocked targets and cannot trigger shock alone.
Build challenges include grenade cooldowns, inconsistent shock application, and targets dying before Shock Burst Rounds connect.
Passive skill tree allocation prioritizes shock chance alongside multiple lightning damage nodes.
