Hello, welcome back to the Path of Exile

shock build.

So this is probably one of the best shock

Galvanic Shard builds that's available for

Path of Exile 2.

So basically you've got Galvanic Shards,

and what you want to do is put Lightning

Infusion, and you want to put Coursing

Current.

So what this is going to do is going to

make shocking hits from supported skills

have a 50% chance to also shock enemies.

In a 2.5-meter radius.

So let's say this character is about 6

foot tall, that's about 2 meters.

So say around that plus that, that means

you're going to do a much wider amount of

shocking.

It's going to spread further and hit more

enemies.

And that's important because we're going

to be using Innovate, which gives you a

35% damage bonus for 3 seconds after you

kill a shocked enemy.

So that's also going to be good.

And also shocked enemies take 20% more

extra damage.

And we're gonna get Heft for 30% extra

physical damage.

And then for the build, you want to get

the shock skills, which I don't seem to

have, but that's okay, you can get them

yourself.

I need 2 points.

You get 15% increased chance of shock and

also 50% to also shock enemies in a

1.5-meter radius.

So I'm guessing that that's gonna add to

the 2.5 and become like a 4-meter radius.

So you got really big radius of shocking.

Okay, so it basically looks like this.

What you do is shock them.

You see, it just went from those ones to

the other group, and they're all getting

shocked, they're all dying, which is going

to give me this orb.

See this orb floating around me?

That is the Innovate skill from the gem,

and that's going to give me a 35% damage

bonus.

So we're really focusing on the shock

ability.

See, look at that, everything's just

getting shocked.

You'll never have a problem of not having

the spinning orb as long as you're killing

stuff.

There will always be at least one enemy

that's been shocked that you kill,

so you're basically almost guaranteed to

always have that 35% damage bonus,

which gives the Galvanic Charge DPS boost

of Let me see,

uh, 1605 DPS.

That's pretty good damn DPS, to be honest.

1605 DPS, that's more DPS than my other

build which had 1441 DPS.

So everything's gonna get shocked.

Oh, look at that!

Did you see that?

Everything's just pulsing with

electricity.

It's kind of hard to play because my mouse

is—

my mouse keeps sticking to the table.

Why didn't I bring my mousepad?

So stupid.

Oh my god, look at this shocking.

Oh, you know what I just thought of?

I just thought of some— oh, now I lost the

tier 2 waste stone.

That was my last tier 2.

I've got this idea, hold on.

God, my table is so sticky, can you hear

that?

I wiped it with a cloth and it's still

sticky.

It actually got stickier after I wiped it.

So what I'm thinking is I refund passives.

So I want to go over here into the Warrior

skill tree because the Warrior skill tree

has 30% increased damage with hits against

shocked enemies.

That's insane because we're already

getting 20%.

That'd be 50% combined bonus.

So what we're gonna do is

I'm probably gonna get rid of these.

So see my DPS,

1,226.

I get rid of all these, it's okay, I've

got loads of gold.

So let's drop down to 1,172.

Not really a big drop, it's fine.

Get rid of this attack damage increase

stuff,

that'll drop us down by 72 DPS.

I also want to get these 2 and then get

rid of these.

So really we need about 18 points free,

we've got 9.

Hmm, what can I get rid of?

I don't know if I can get rid of these.

Let me see.

Oh, I can.

I think I can.

Oh no, now I need the intelligence.

Well, I mean, I can pick up intelligence

on the way to the warrior lightning stuff.

Watch.

So we go like this.

Which is the fastest way there?

I want to get over here.

I think we go this way.

So we need intelligence,

10, 9 intelligence.

We need 1 strength,

and I'll just get dexterity.

I don't think strength actually boosts the

galvanic shards.

No, it doesn't.

So just get, get dexterity because that

will

Also not boosting— what?

No, dexterity is not boosting the DPS

either.

Anyway, I go up here,

up there,

up here.

I might get more strength for HP.

Okay, we have now arrived at the Warrior

Lightning tree.

Now I need 5 points.

Where can I get 5 points from?

Oh, I got 2 here.

Get rid of these 2

and, uh,

might get rid of that one

and one of these.

Okay, Galvanic Charge has gone down to 997

from 1,200-something, but that's okay.

We're gonna get these lightning buffs.

We've got 10% increased elemental damage

here

and 12% lightning, 12% lightning, 25%

increased lightning damage.

Oh, watch this.

1012.

Eh, it only went up to 1078.

Bit weird.

And there's also elemental damage here,

here,

and, um, yeah, that's it really.

So now we got an extra 30% damage against

shocked enemies.

That should give us a massive DPS boost.

We need some tier 1s.

Okay, see how much damage I do now.

This should be interesting.

This is like really good for shock builds

because I've got 2 really good talents.

That focuses on having shock.

Oh my god,

galvanic shards!

1343, 1434, 1434.

The problem is, even though I'm getting

like 50% bonus damage against shocked

enemies, that's not really going to show

on the DPS.

Meter, is it?

I mean, I feel like I'm slicing through

these enemies pretty quickly.

Oh my god, I'm gonna die!

The hell?

He does so much damage.

Yeah, that was pretty good.

Okay, which way do I go?

Hmm, pretty good

damage.

Tell me, God.
