video. So today I'm going to show you my

new mercenary Path of Exile 2 Explosive

Shot build. It's really good, it does

these things like that. And,

um, yeah, basically it just revolves

around the Explosive Shot skill And we've

got Scattershot that allows us to shoot 2

extra projectiles instead of just 1, like

that. And then we've got Heft, gives you

30% more maximum physical damage. Fire

Infusion gives you 25% of damage as extra

fire damage. And since we're going to be

converting physical damage into fire

damage, that's going to give us more fire

damage depending on how much physical

damage we're going to be doing. And then

also as a secondary attack to buff our

fire damage We're gonna be using Oil

Grenade, and I put 40% more area effect on

it, and also this one, Immolate, and also

we got Explosive Grenades. So the build

goes like this. Basically, you want to go

up into the Warrior skill tree because

Warrior skills have a lot of fire in them

for some reason. So you got this little

fire thing, gives you a bunch of fire

buffs. You got this little fire thing,

gives you a bunch of ignite and fire

buffs. You got this crit stuff,

lots of good things in the Warrior skill

tree. And then you also got this one,

elemental damage and more fire damage.

And I went down here to get the crossbow

stuff, a couple of projectile damage

buffs and a bit of crit damage bonus here.

So yeah, so what we're standing at is 3866

for the DPS on Explosive Shot. And that's

going to be enough DPS to kill basically

everything in one shot. So you go in here

and you shoot these enemies like that,

and then they blow up and they'll die. So

that's basically what we're going to do.

And then maybe chuck an oil grenade so

they all catch on fire, but they die

anyway, so it doesn't really matter. But

you do, do, do extra damage when

they are oiled up. And it also spreads

fire like that, so that's pretty good. So

you can see I'm just one-shotting

everything. So you just run in,

blow them all up, run out, slow them down

with an oil grenade, blow them up again.

And then if you need to reload quickly,

you've got Emergency Reload, which is very

useful in case you get surrounded like

that. Yeah, so everything

just kind of blows up and dies.

I don't know what that is. Priest of the

Sun. Why am I taking so much damage?

Oh my God, everything's just

on fire.

These guys are really tough. I don't know

why is it taking so long to kill them.

Oh, it's a boss. Yeah, so look—

oh, I ran out of potions. It's not good,

and I'm trapped in a corner. Not very

good. Now I lost my tier 2 waystone.

But it's okay,

it's okay.

Okay, selling some stuff.

Got that. So I need more gold. I'm already

running out of gold. I mean, I've

basically already run out of gold.

To refund all my passives.

Why do they put these little dead ends in

the map? It's so annoying.

Well, I guess I lost all the gold I looted

from the previous run.

I didn't realize when you die you lose all

the gold you got from the map and

the loot. I think you lose the loot and

the XP. I'm stuck at level 73 because I

need half a billion XP points.

And I keep— oh, Elite Great Helm. What's

that? I don't have any scrolls. What is

the point of this identified game

mechanism? It's so stupid. Just tell me

what stats it has. Why do I need a little

scroll to see what stats it has? Why is it

hidden? Such a stupid game mechanic.

Okay, let's see. It gives you— oh, 96%

increased armor— war cry speed.

Corpses in your presence explode when you

war cry.

I don't have any war cry skills, do I?

Unless emergency reload counts as a war

No, it's a buff. I guess you gotta be a

warrior.

I just said it's only worth 1,000 gold.

This game makes no sense because you got

yellow items and blue items worth more

than 1,000 gold, and then a legendary item

drops and it's only worth 1,000 gold.

Okay.

Need more time.

God, this thing's doing so much damage.

Oh my god, what's a Divine

Orb?

Randomizes numeric value of modifiers on

an item.

I've never seen that before. Oh, it made

my crossbow do less DPS. I just

nerfed my own crossbow. Stupid thing.

And I died, so I just lost all the gold.

Oh my god, I fucking hate this game. This

game is so shit. Why is this game so

stupid? You lose all your XP and gold that

you got on the map, and then you get these

stupid waystone things to get into the

The developers of this game need a good

slap across the face for making such a

stupid game.

I swear to God,

what was I doing? Yeah, I wanted to get

these, these projectile damage skills.

Okay, try again.

Oh, I've lost about 300 DPS from nerfing

my crossbow.
