Ultimate Lightning Mercenary Build – Melt Bosses in PoE2

Daniel showcases a Path of Exile 2 Mercenary build centered on Plasma Blast linked with Scattershot, Primal Armament, and Close Combat, supported by a passive tree emphasizing lightning, elemental, and crossbow scaling.

The build utilizes Galvanic Shards for regular mob packs due to the four-second charge time of Plasma Blast, and incorporates Emergency Reload for increased charge speed and damage.

Daniel demonstrates the build in boss combat, dealing bursts of 40,000 and 120,000 damage to secure rewards, observations on town and Cruel map layouts, and a death to mob packs en route to Jamanra in Act 2.
