The main themes of this Setup are the powerful Lightning abilities available for the Mercenary Class. Your primary Damage comes from the Plasma Blast. It is a Channelled Attack that can only be used with Crossbows. It concentrates your strength into one powerful blast of electric energy that pierces everything on its way In a straight line, dealing massive amounts of Damage. The more time you spend on the Channeling, the stronger the outcome will be.
The Elemental Ailments associated with Lightning Damage are very important for this Build. Thanks to the Shock you will deal even More Damage to your Enemies affected by this Ailment. The Electrocute doesn't directly affect your Damage, but it locks your Enemies in place, so you can safely charge up your powerful laser.
There are two major tools at your disposal to quickly deliver those Ailments. Firstly, you can use the Galvanic Shards to quickly fire a burst of charged bolts that release Chaining Lightning beams at nearby Enemies. The Voltaic Grenades are also very helpful as they can quickly build up Shock and Electrocute on many Enemies at once, but are quite limited by their Cooldown. The Voltaic Mark also comes in handy, as it makes Marked Enemies easier to Shock, and increases its Damage amplification.
As a Witchhunter you will deal extraordinary amounts of Damage against lone targets, making it a great Boss killer. Thanks to the additional 20 Weapon Set Points you can better specialise in your combat style.
It is currently a Build prediction for the upcoming Path of Exile 2. We will be working hard to update it with the verified and tested pieces of information as soon as possible!

Quickly inflict Shock and Electrocute with the Galvanic Shards and Voltaic Grenades to large groups of Enemies and charge up your Plasma Blast to obliterate them. Against Bosses, you should include Voltaic Mark to make your Shocks even stronger.

Main Skills |
Plasma Blast - Channel to build up power before firing off a blast of Lightning energy in a long line. |
Galvanic Shards - load your Crossbow with a clip of charged Bolts that fire in bursts, releasing Chaining Lightning beams when they Hit enemies. |
Utility Skills |
Voltaic Mark - Marks a target, making them more susceptible to being Shocked. When the Marked target dies, a Lightning Nova erupts from their Corpse. |
Voltaic Grenade - Fire a Lightning grenade that unleashes an explosion, Electrocuting and Shocking enemies caught in the area. |
You will need a Crossbow with bonuses to Lightning Damage. Other Elements also contribute plenty of Damage but do not count toward the Shock build-up. Defensively you will need to cap your Elemental Resistances and get as much maximum Life, Armour, and Evasion as possible.
