Path of Exile 2： Ultimate Lightning Shock Build! Insane Endgame Damage Guide

He redesigns a Mercenary Galvanic Shards build around lightning passives, prioritizing shock chance, shock magnitude, attack/cast speed, crits, and penetration. A gem applies eight-second lightning exposure on shock; he adds 30% crit against exposed enemies and seeks more elemental damage. Gameplay reaches 890 DPS, chains lightning, shocks groups, and kills bosses, but reload downtime and camera visibility remain frustrating.

This continues recent fragile-but-powerful build experimentation, with optimization constrained by gold and occasional interface confusion.
