Ultimate Path of Exile 2 Guide： Unleash the Lightning! High DPS Endgame Build (2025)

Daniel presents a Galvanic Shards Mercenary build using Lightning Infusion, Scattershot, Electrocute, and Primal Armament for rapid stunning and damage. Testing shows roughly 550 DPS clears enemies, but slow reload, lag, movement problems, tiny inventory, and identification chores frustrate him. Repeated deaths erase experience, leaving him stuck at level 73; he calls endgame progression unrewarding and considers abandoning Mercenary for Monk.

The glass-cannon pattern persists: strong crowd control cannot offset fragility, penalties, and mounting disengagement.
