Follow up video coming addressing stuff like defences and weapon details. This will help every crossbow build. Final Skill setup: Explosive Shot - Conduction, Fire infusion, Martial tempo, coursing current Shockburst Rounds - Conc effect, Lightning Infusion, Primal armament, heft Emergency Reload - Premeditation, ingenuity Voltaic Mark Herald of Ash - Cannibalism Herald of Ice - Magnified effect, Cold pen, Cold infusion Herald of Thunder - Innervate, Ice bite, Glaciation Wind Dancer - Blind, Maim If you dont have high evasion (10k+) - dont take Acrobatics (in passive tree) If you are getting one shotted before 4th ascendancy then swap Endless munitions for wind ward (damage may significantly decrease on Explosive shot) Build smoothness Scales with: - attack speed / skill speed - reload speed - additional bolts (explicit mod) Misc: - Build can be further improved with weapon swap strats and higher investment - For ES, don't get pierce. its the explosion that deals the major damage - During the campaign you don't need much attack speed. but when doing juiced mapping strats and ritual, you need to fire much faster and have high clear speed for each round of shots - Early on herald of ash works well until you start juiced maps. Voltaic mark with cast on shock explosions can replace herald of ice setup because of its massive burst of lightning damage and AOE. But requires more spirit. - Attributes are quite a struggle during levelling so get low level gems for int/strength - Stacking projectiles for Explosive Shot is a massive damage boost during levelling - if you have extra spirit use overwhelming presence - increased shock duration on jewels is very good mod
Same! 76 now and switched over to the triple ailment and so fun to play! Thank you for your time, knowledge, and willingness to share! Only on T5 moving to T6 but excited to keep progressing!
Im gonna say this. You easily make the best budget builds in the space of the poe community. Keep up the good work you have earned yourself a subscriber and a follower💯
also you can use Auto reload support gem with explosive shot on clear to not reload at all, it giga improves gameplay for clearing since you always heavy stun normal enemies
tested it but its really rare when heavy stun happens mostly of them die in 1 shot. Coursing current instead is more consistent for clearing .. could be good for a 5th socket though. fire pen or this.
I'm using a very similar build but is more es/evasion so passives a bit different. With the 3 heralds and other skill gems you are using along with the attributes passives at the bottom you end up with fairly decent attributes even without gearing for it. Howa did add a fair bit of damage to my build with about 300ish in each stat. If I had ingenuity and some good attributes breach rings it would be even better. For general t15 mapping though it's not necessary. Having said that though I'm not sure howa added enough to justify how much it costs over just some decent rare gloves with attack speed/flat damage. Also losing gloves for some extra resists makes the rest of the gear more tricky
I was playing this build since a week ago if you can get load an additional bolt on crossbow it would be very smooth but it's expensive I got 650 phys dmg crossbow with load an additional bolt 6 divine orb there is lower dps Cross with loads an additional bolt like 1 divine but personally I prefer to get a cross bow with loads an additional bolt even with 500 or 400 dps for explosive shot rather than normal crossbow actually I'm using a normal crossbow with pure phys dmg for shockburst rounds
I need to try this again. At earlier levels I tried the extra bolt but felt that with a high enough DPS it really wasn't needed. I basically just tap the fire button and it melts the entire screen most of the time so the reload (with a decent attack speed) wasn't overly noticeable. Also I have a bunch of plus skills so spamming the fire button is not great for mana sustain.
@@poe2cheapbuildshave to agree with this. I got some and they do increase damage but not by as much as I was hoping. I have 300ish in each stat and without investing in ingenuity and some really expensive attribute stacking gear I could probably have got "good enough" results from a much cheaper pair of rare gloves.
i have a monk build with a 4div budet, i clear all the boss and any content. 1 div are spend on my ring and amulet the rest is just howa and cheap as gear like 100 ex extra, and some of the people say i CAnt clear map or end game content, then i mention budet build like these and they said , bro look at their gear, they all cost at least 100div , i felt like i dont want to be friend with them anymore.

Final Skill setup:
Explosive Shot - Conduction, Fire infusion, Martial tempo, coursing current
Shockburst Rounds - Conc effect, Lightning Infusion, Primal armament, heft
Emergency Reload - Premeditation, ingenuity
Voltaic Mark
Herald of Ash - Cannibalism
Herald of Ice - Magnified effect, Cold pen, Cold infusion
Herald of Thunder - Innervate, Ice bite, Glaciation
Wind Dancer - Blind, Maim
If you dont have high evasion (10k+) - dont take Acrobatics (in passive tree)
If you are getting one shotted before 4th ascendancy then swap Endless munitions for wind ward (damage may significantly decrease on Explosive shot)
Build smoothness Scales with:
- attack speed / skill speed
- reload speed
- additional bolts (explicit mod)
Misc:
- Build can be further improved with weapon swap strats and higher investment
- For ES, don't get pierce. its the explosion that deals the major damage
- During the campaign you don't need much attack speed. but when doing juiced mapping strats and ritual, you need to fire much faster and have high clear speed for each round of shots
- Early on herald of ash works well until you start juiced maps. Voltaic mark with cast on shock explosions can replace herald of ice setup because of its massive burst of lightning damage and AOE. But requires more spirit.

- Stacking projectiles for Explosive Shot is a massive damage boost during levelling

This has gotta be the most insane build guide video I've ever seen in a long time! So detailed to replicate 👍
Just beat arbitrer of ash thanks to your monk build thank you so much

ay interesting build will try it later
does the hand of wisdom works on this build? thanks for video
tried not much worth it really
Would howa work with this build and maybe built a bit towards dex with ingenuity?

if i have HoWa, can i slot in Rampart Raptor crossbow and just hella spam explosive shot?
howa dint seem much worth it considering you can get a gloves with att speed, rarity and flat phys damage at a lesser cost and better output

elem attack is optional
