INSANE MERCENARY GRENADE SPAM AOE DPS Build ｜ Path of Exile 2 BEST MERCENARY LVLING Build (Lvl 30+)

Hello, welcome back to a new Path of Exile

2 video.

So today I want to show you my insane

grenade build for the Mercenary.

So with this build, you can now fire 3

grenades at a time.

Watch, see, look, 1, 2, 3, and you can

keep spamming them out like that.

And also with the grenades, explosive

grenades, you can keep shooting them out

like that

and they just explode like crazy.

It's like launching a minefield all at

once.

So the way you're going to launch 3

grenades at the same time is by having,

number one, a weapon, a crossbow, that has

this perk where it shoots an additional

grenade projectile.

So you get 3— so you get 2, but then you

also get the grenade perks in the skill

tree.

So you get the 12% increased grenade

damage, 12% increased area effect, 15%

increased cooldown recovery, 50% increased

grenade fuse duration.

Now you might think that sounds rubbish,

it's going to take 50% longer now for

grenades to explode, but that's okay

because we're going to detonate the

grenades using our explosive shot anyway.

But getting this will give you an

additional grenade skills via an

additional projectile.

So now we shoot 3 grenades at the same

time.

Increased grenade area effect, increased

recovery rate for cooldown, and also

grenade skills have 1+1 cooldown use, so

we get to shoot an extra grenade before we

run out.

So you see it says 4, usually it'll be 3,

but now we have 4 grenades that we can

just spam out like this.

So it takes a long time for them to

detonate.

See, it takes quite a long time for them

to detonate on their own, but we're gonna

use Explosive Shot to trigger the

detonation.

So yeah, we've got 3 skills, very

important.

Basically explosive grenade, oil grenade,

and explosive shot.

So what oil grenade is going to do is

going to coat the enemies in oil, which we

then trigger like a fire wave because the

oil is going to catch on fire.

And also if we need to do more damage, we

just spam out loads of grenades like that

and then trigger them all at once like

that.

So it's going to do insane damage.

Now look at explosive shot.

We've got Scattershot, which fires an

additional 2

shots, so we shoot 3 at the same time.

We've got Life Thief, which I need to get

rid of because that's rubbish.

So maybe replace that with something else,

like— hmm, you could increase it by 40%

damage, but then you get 10% cooldown.

Might be good, I might try that.

And Double Barrel, you get 30% less reload

speed and additional bolts.

And then for Oil Grenade, we've got

increased area effects by 40%,

um, increase 100%— 120% more pin-up— pin

buildup against enemies within 2 meters of

you, which means they're going to get

instantly pinned down if they're near,

which they will be.

And 60% chance to poison, that's like a

nice damage buff.

And then for grenade, Explosive Grenade,

we've got 50% increased crit chance

against immobilized enemies, which they

will be because they'll be pinned, and 25%

more elemental damage.

So yeah, that's basically the gems I've

got.

So the playstyle goes like this: you go

into a group of enemies, you pin them

down— see, look, they're pinned down—

chuck a grenade at them, detonate the

grenade, and they'll all blow up.

So yeah, we're doing 40% more damage now

with Explosive Shot, which means it's got

a 10-second cooldown.

Okay, let's get a load of enemies grouped

up like here.

That's loads.

Watch this.

Watch, watch.

You're watching.

Put grenade, Explosive Shot, everything

just dies.

And if they don't die, just chuck down

more grenades.

So we also have this other skill.

Where is it?

Let me show you.

You've got this crossbow skill over here.

It gives you 12% increased grenade damage

and also 15% chance to activate a second

time.

So you've got 15% chance the grenade's

gonna explode again, which is pretty good.

So these guys are really annoying, they

keep disappearing.

Oh, that's a generator.

So yeah, it just If you've got loads of

enemies, just keep spamming grenades at

them, and then you can detonate it with

your explosive— oh my god, did you see

that?

And also, your oil grenades can do some

good damage over time damage with the

poison and the fire burning.

Sometimes it lags my game a bit because so

many things exploding at the same time.

It's a pretty fun build where everything

just blows up every single second.

Watch, watch, watch.

Launching like 6 grenades all at once just

by using it twice.

The problem is you do use a lot of mana,

so you're gonna have to be spamming the

mana potion in more intense fights.

Just got crossbow, soul core, whetstone.

If you're up against single targets, it's

not as fun.

Like, this guy's really annoying me.

There he is.

Just spam out loads of grenades.

Oh, he froze me.

Oh, look at this.

Watch, watch, watch.

Oh, everything's blow up.

Where'd he go?

I can't kill this.

I'll just ignore him, I guess.

If he wants to play games like that, don't

even have to pay attention to him.

I really want to group up a big mob of

enemies.

I like the way they get pinned down

straight away from the oil grenade.

There were loads of enemies earlier, now I

can't find anything.

It's really annoying.

I killed everything.

Oh, look at this, look, got loads of

enemies.

They look like the things off Elden Ring,

the spinny things on wheels.

That's funny.

But watch this, watch.

I'm gonna spam them with grenades.

9 grenades, detonate it all.

Oh my God, did you see that damage?

It was pretty insane.

And then just run circles around them

whilst your grenades go off.

I don't know if I like that gem on the

explosive shot.

I can't use it,

I can only use it every 10 seconds.

Well, the damage is nice.

Okay, what do I do now?

Oh, watch, watch, watch, watch, watch

this.

The problem is you are kind of at risk

whilst you're putting the grenades down.

You don't want to take too much damage.

It would be nice if you could deploy the

grenades quicker.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, watch this much.

Oh well, everything's exploding now.

Even the enemy's got AOE fire.

I can't shoot anything.

Well, low tier.

Oh, I nearly died.

Yeah, it's pretty fun build if you like

blowing stuff up,

which I do

very much.

Look at that.

It's so satisfying when they're all

grouped up and they get pinned.

Oh my God,

watch this, watch.

This is gonna be good.

Oh.

Oh, this is what— oh my God, I

nearly died.

It's getting a bit intense.

Now this is not good with the 10-second

cooldown

on Explosive Shot.

I gotta get rid of that.

Where is it?

Yeah, get rid of Hourglass.

Put it somewhere else.

Hmm, what would be a good 3rd gem?

Attack speed.
