Mercenary Lightning： Fastest Leveling Endgame Build for PoE2

Oblivion Core crossbow and two runes add 3–61 lightning damage, raising Galvanic Shards from 1,536 to 1,688 DPS; eight bolts remain. After being one-shot, he reran the map, cleared its bosses, and found a Jeweller’s Orb, Tier 2 gear, gold, and a waystone. Innervate raised displayed DPS to 1,773–1,892, but the no-defense glass cannon remained vulnerable during reloads, terrain traps, and blocked healing.

The build has rapidly shifted from modest damage to dominant but fragile endgame clearing.
