BEST MERCENARY LIGHTNING AOE DPS Build ｜ Path of Exile 2 MERCENARY LVLING Build

Demonstrates a lightning AoE Mercenary build using Galvanic Shards, Lightning Infusion, Primal Armament, Voltaic Grenade, and stun-focused attack speed. The build clears enemy swarms effectively through lightning, elemental, projectile, critical, penetration, and two-handed crossbow damage bonuses. He says Galvanic Shards performs poorly against bosses, switches to Fragmentation Rounds, tests lightning conversion, and dies to one-shot attacks.

A specialized swarm-clearing build remains unreliable against bosses, prompting continual experimentation and frustration.
