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

He presents a Mercenary AoE leveling build using Fragmentation Shot/Rounds, prioritizing attack speed, bolt conservation, extra ammunition, and mob clearing. Skill-tree investment reaches crossbow damage, stun, projectile, critical, and reload nodes; combined passives give about 40% bolt conservation chance. The build pins mobs reliably and clears packs, but lacks defenses: a boss repeatedly one-shots him; Ballista dies quickly.

The build prioritizes speed and convenience over toughness, producing strong mob performance but poor boss survivability.
