Using Scattershot like this appears to make High-Velocity rounds do less damage, not more. This is due to projectiles from the same effect being unable to hit enemies that have already been struck by a projectile from that effect. This also applies to grenades, though in the case of grenades specifically, the purpose of adding projectiles is to increase the AoE. It should also be noted that projectiles cannot chain from an enemy they have pierced or forked from, for those considering adding pierce of galvanic shards.

Thank you kind sir. I would never have figured out a build like this myself. Followed ur guide and beat the final boss of Act 1 in my second try. Onto Act 2! Hopefully you'll have a guide up :)

[BoydLakeMaine]

Instead of High Velocity use normal attack until High Velo comes in line with support gems. Your DPS will vary.

[bromanchoo]

Use escape shot arrow from now skills instead. It’s 100% freeze on lower tier targets and amplifies freeze quicker and it’s better mobility. Bows also receive passive buffs from crossbow passives. HIGHLY recommend this route.

I was just searching to see if people were doing this. I didn’t even use a guide just seemed to make sense. Flash gas explosive Hernandez and just run around with permafrost shots. If things drain your mana or u need more single target just use regular snow shots with dos gems like poison lightning. It’s been pretty ez

[Tophathenry]

they changed the first g nade passive the added projectile now adds 50% fuse increase

I'm currently running a 2h hammer merc. passive tree full of str, 2h dmg boost, armor.

What are your thoughts on rapid shot? Ive been using it with chain

[pierrepellerin]

I find it funny that people make this so complicated with multiple skills. I used crossbow shot only all the way to level 15 and the 1st act boss. I beat everything fairly easy on the way. For final boss, I switched to rapid fire with a couple support gems. It melted that Wolf boss.
My suggestion, don't over complicate things this early, we're not fighting endgame bosses here...

[ravecsucks]

What's the point in using full salvo when you're only using 1 type of ammunition? And you do realise supporting Heralds increases the spirit requirement thus making the herald literally non usable for the level range the guide is for?

[shawnoconnor]

in act 3 rocking this what runes would you suggest for xbow?

[ovidijuspocius]

I played monk but man this class is just addictive af

[balckandgold]

Thank you for this! How does the merc shoot the crossbow so quickly with lightning element. I see people shooting 3-5 shots in really quick succession while I'm doing one at a time

[Laedimension]

but if you remove scatter shot to put it on high velocity rounds, doesnt explosive grenades lose most of its aoe effect?

[JsinJzone]

any more updates on this? for act 3? lvls 20+ thanks

[marcusbengtsson]

Ive had such a struggle during merenary holys hit..

[Kontract_]

You’re moving scatter shot to high velocity from grenades…..doesn’t that massively take away your aoe dmg with grenades? How do you keep grenades viable after that?

[GMotarfish]

why doesnt herald work for me, i have it slotted but doesnt display the buff on the left top cornor.

[adrienee]

Everyone is literally using “granadeier” mercenary. No one is really being original and the games open beta JUST started. I’m sure there are more options that are more than viable if not better for merc.

[RealTaIk]

Wow never seen such a bad showcase of skills. Claiming it will destroy everything and then showing gameplay of struggling with ordinary mobs, yikes...
