Hello, welcome back to a new Path of Exile

2 video.

Today I'll be showing you my ultimate fire

mercenary build for Path of Exile 2,

basically using 2 skills: Explosive Shot

and Oil Grenade.

So for Oil Grenade gems, we've put on a

bunch of stuff that just increases area

effect and increases skill effects

duration.

And a bit of bonus fire damage.

And then for Explosive Shot, basically we

got Elemental Focus gives you 25% more

elemental damage, and Primal Armament

gives you 25% more weapon damage elemental

damage.

And also Scattershot gives you 20% less

damage, but you fire 2 additional

projectiles like that.

So usually you just shoot 1, but with

Scattershot you shoot 3.

So it's like a triple grenade launcher,

it's pretty good.

So basically what you do is you throw the

oil grenade and ignite it and everything

sets on fire, and then you get bonus

damage because everything's on fire.

So let me show you the skill tree.

I went for all the fire skills.

So you got fire skills in the warrior

part.

You might be thinking it's kind of weird

going into the warrior part of the tree

when you are mercenary, but it makes sense

because you pick up all the dexterity on

the way and then you get the fire You get

14%, 14% increased damage against burning

enemies, which is really good.

And then they've also got another fire

ignition stuff here, increased fire

damage.

And, um, yeah, there's more fire in the

warrior part, and, uh, I think there's

more fire—

hmm, I think that's all the fire really.

Maybe there's fire in the sorcery bit.

Yeah, in the Sorcerer's part you got some

increased chance to ignite,

25% increased crit damage against burning

enemies.

So if you've got enough points, you could

also make your way up through here and go

for this fire stuff.

There's not really any fire in the

Mercenary part of the tree.

If you look at the Mercenary, you just got

double-handed weapons, got some grenade

stuff.

Grenade stuff here

and the area effect buffs, but this

doesn't really increase your fire.

Oh, you got this fire stuff here too.

Increased chance to ignite, 30% increased

damage against burning enemies.

So you got some fire there, but the fire

stuff is all spread out.

You got a bit of fire there, bit of fire

there, bit of fire here,

and Oh, you got elemental damage here, so

you can get 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, plus 40,

and 12 there if you want to get increased

elemental damage, because that counts as

fire.

And you got crossbow stuff, so that's

basically how the build works.

Reload.

And you get a lot of damage bonuses

against enemies on fire,

and it's basically just 2 skill

Build.

I don't know where you're supposed to go.

Uh, up here and down there.

Oh no.

Oh yeah, you're supposed to pull this and

that gets out the way.

Oh, I got a weapon.

It loads an additional bolt so I can shoot

twice before reloading, so that's pretty

good.

I mean, you could put Double Barrel.

Where is it?

I thought I had Double Barrel.

Oh, there it is.

So you can put Double Barrel onto

Explosive Shot instead of Primal Armor.

Lose 25% damage, but now We can shoot it

3 times.

So maybe you could say the 3rd shot you

gain does more damage than what you lose

from the 25% bonus elemental damage.

That could make sense.

So now we can shoot it 3 times like that.

It's quite a lot of damage.

Yeah, maybe.

I don't know if that actually does more

damage or not.

Try frag rounds.

Maybe frag rounds do more damage against

single targets.

I usually pull out frag rounds if it's

like a tough enemy.

Just nothing seems to be able to beat frag

rounds.

But explosive round's good if you got

loads of enemies

and you can blow them up.

Yeah, that works pretty well.

You're done.

How the fuck he supposed to go?

You're done.

Oh.

Wow, 40 to 120 damage.

I wonder if that's better than my one.

Oh my God, what was that?

What fucking shit game?
