discovered the best electrical mercenary

build in Path of Exile 2. It goes like

this. Hello, welcome back to new video.

So in today's Path of Exile 2 video, I

should be showing you the best Galvanic

Shard electric build. It's going to be

using Lightning Infusion. Scattershot,

Electrocute, and Primal Armament. This is

really good powerful build for stunning

enemies and doing lots of damage. So

basically you're going to be shooting out

double the amount, actually triple the

amount of galvanic shards than you usually

would thanks to Scattershot. It's going to

give you 2 additional,

additional projectiles But

deal 20% less damage. But that's fine

because we'll be doing more damage thanks

to all of the additional projectiles. And

we've also got Electrocute, so we can't

shock anymore, but we can electrocute. So

it's going to stun the enemies basically

on the first hit, and it's going to go

something— maybe if there was some

fucking— and oh, there's some. So you can

shoot the enemies and see they get stunned

instantly thanks to our impressive

stun buildup— I mean electrocute buildup.

So then we just shoot these guys, and I

think I'm lagging. I don't know,

internet's being a bit weird today. So you

just basically stun these and you shoot

Oh my god, what was that? Nearly one-shot

me. And then we got the Advanced

Dyad Crossbow,

which I can't even pick up, but whatever.

And then shoot those,

and then you go up here.

You see, even though it says I'm only

doing 550 DPS, which is kind of rubbish—

before I had it up to 1,400— I'm still

killing them pretty quickly. Not as

quickly as you would kill them with a

non-stun build, but you got to sacrifice a

little bit of DPS in order to get the

benefits of the stun lock.

So yeah, the stunning is really amazing.

This guy, I don't know, he's got like a

shield. Oh,

oh, he interrupted my thingy.

I broke his shield.

God, the reload is so slow. What the

hell's going on?

My movement's really slow as well. I don't

I really wish they'd just make the

inventory bigger. Look how small this

inventory is compared to how much loot you

get, and then you're constantly having to

go back and forwards between the tower.

So annoying. I don't know why they

designed the game to be as annoying as

possible. And then you've always got to

click on that stupid identify items button

before you can sell it. I mean, you can

sell it without identifying it, but then

it's worth a lot less, so why would you

not identify it? So then why don't they

just skip that? I mean, no other game

where you have loot Do they hide the stats

on the item unless you identify it? Oh,

stupid gameplay mechanic. I swear to

Jesus, the people who made this game are a

bunch of idiots. Imagine on World of

Warcraft, every time you looted an item,

you had to go and identify the item. What

is even the point of that? It makes no

point. It doesn't make the game more fun.

It's not challenging. I mean,

it's not challenging to press a button

that says identify all items. It's just

pointless. It's like a pointless mechanic,

so unnecessary. And they're making the

inventory really tiny when you're supposed

to be looting all this stuff. Again, it's

not challenging, it's not interesting,

it's just annoying. This game is just like

trying to annoy you all the time.

Don't mind it if it was actually like a

challenging part of the game, but it's not

challenging to keep going backwards and

forwards between the town.

It's just unnecessary.

Basically, I'm stuck in

this part of the game because I can't

level up anymore, because every time I

die, I lose all my XP. And sometimes you

just die, you get trapped, you lag out, I

don't know, things happen. You want me to

get half a billion XP points without dying

once? What a joke.

So basically I'm just stuck at level 73,

I can't get any more skill points,

um, because I don't know why all of a

sudden you now lose XP when you die.

So now there's like zero progression,

sense of progression in the game.

You see, that's what I'm talking about.

The game just gets so boring, you kind of

zone out, and then you just get trapped,

and then you die, or you get one-shot by

nothing out of nowhere, and then all my XP

is gone. It's such a stupid game.

The game was actually quite fun doing the

campaign, defeating the bosses, following

along with the characters, and then you

get to this endgame bit with the tower

thing where you're basically just farming

these maps endlessly to—

the loot isn't even good either, so what

are you even doing this for? The point is

to keep doing higher and higher tiers,

like Nightmare Dungeons in Diablo 4,

but I'm just like stuck at tier 1.

Sometimes I might get a tier 2 waystone.

I just feel like this game's dead. It used

to be really fun, now it's just dead to

Not yet.

Bloody beautiful.

Simple enough.

Maybe I try my, uh, monk character again.

Just give up on the mercenary.

Seems like that's the way. I feel like I'm

at a dead end with this character.

That's one down.
