FAST BLASTING Galvanic Shards Witchhunter. We move with a Weapon Set I
Boneshatter with as much Attack and Skill Speed as we can get. We clear with
Galvanic Shards,
Herald of Thunder,
Herald of Ash, and
Zealous Inquisition. Single target is amazing with
Emergency Reload,
Plasma Blast, and
Shockburst Rounds for follow up after shocking. All of this is made possible (and optimal) with
Weapon Master in our Ascendancy.
Pitiless Killer and
Judge, Jury, and Executioner are amazing for damage across the board! We opt for a 0% Rarity setup because we are base farming Pack Size and Effectiveness maps and the Atlas tree will reflect that! If you'd like to run rarity feel free to adjust some suffixes around to accommodate your needs. Take note of our Weapon Set points and make sure you do NOT put your main Weapon on Weapon Set I. Refer to the "Skill Gems" section for an easier understanding.

Lineage support gem priority is Arjun's Medal for
Galvanic Shards, Rigwald's Ferocity for
Boneshatter, then Rakiata's Flow for
Plasma Blast, Garukhan's Resolve when you can manage it for
Plasma Blast again. Dialla's Desire is completely optional for
Boneshatter and only increases your Attack Speed. Brutus' Brain and Romira's Requital are incredibly affordable for the
Companion: {0}. We get a Diretusk Boar from the "Troubled Camp" inside of the Infested Barrens in Act 3. You can checkpoint refresh the Diretusk Boar spawn point until it has the prefix "Haste Aura" this gives you an increase in Attack Speed for your Crossbow skills in Weapon Set II. If you don't know how to get a companion you need a Level 9 Skill Gem and we are using this for
Tame Beast. Use
Tame Beast once you've found the Diretusk Boar you want then kill the monster to turn it into your
Companion: {0}. You can reduce the 39% Spirit Reservation with Gemcutter's Prisms.
In the tooltip of your skills you can pop out a carrot on the right side and manually bind their Weapon Set Slots (it looks like this >)
Weapon Set I
Boneshatter (this has synergy with Rigwald's Ferocity and is our primary source of movement)
Wind Dancer (debuff the monsters in case the
Boneshatter pulls us into enemies)
Weapon Set II
Galvanic Shards (is our primary source of clear, make sure to use Arjun's Medal and if your
Desolate Crossbow does not have "Loads 2 additional Bolts" on suffix you can swap out Stoicism II for Ratha's Assault)
Emergency Reload (press this moments before
Plasma Blast in Boss arenas or at any time to add a 1.3x multiplier to all of your Crossbow Bolt Damage. This Skill works with
Plasma Blast,
Shockburst Rounds, and
Galvanic Shards)
Plasma Blast (is step two in our Bossing setup, this is not to be used on Rare Monsters, Rakiata's Flow is incredible as a single target option and Ambrosia II has great synergy with our double flask setup. Garukhan's Resolve is great for our Critical Hit Chance, Heft is a good alternative to either of these. I do not recommend Elemental Focus because it has no synergy with
Shockburst Rounds or Inexorable Critical II. This skill is always accompanied with
Emergency Reload)
Shockburst Rounds (this is used after
Plasma Blast and is the follow up after we apply a boosted shock. You can usually get 2-3 magazines worth of damage before you need to
Plasma Blast again. Alternatively if you have no 2 second window to charge
Plasma Blast you can apply a lesser shock with
Galvanic Shards to continue to use
Shockburst Rounds)
Herald of Thunder (has inherent synergy with
Zealous Inquisition and should NOT be used on Weapon Set I)
Herald of Ash (also has inherent synergy with
Zealous Inquisition and should NOT be used on Weapon Set I)
Companion: {0} (DISABLE THIS ON WEAPON SET I. When you are done attacking with
Boneshatter to move and it is time to deal damage the
Companion: {0} will spawn right next to you, this has synergy with
Presence Present and Minion Pact II. We use a Diretusk Boar with Haste Aura on prefix, the Companion skill gem has the Minion tag and inherent synergy with
Chaos Inoculation and Minion Pact II, Brutus' Brain does not interfere with this interaction. Read above for information on where (and how) to catch the Diretusk Boar with the Level 9
Tame Beast Skill Gem. Equip Romira's Requital before Brutus' Brain, we have no way of testing whether or not it works but we might as well use it just in case)
Passive Tree
Do not use your
Desolate Crossbow in Weapon Set I.
Boneshatter and Rigwald's Ferocity are best in Weapon Set I. If your
Flanged Mace happens to not have Accuracy on prefix you can drop
Falcon Dive for
The Cunning Fox and you can also respec
Precision Salvo for
Deep Trance. These are Weapon Set I points, not to be confused with global points.
Atlas Tree
In short we get as little rarity as possible, and run Pack Size only maps using the Omen of Chaotic Quantity on our Waystones. We actively seek out corrupted zones as these have the best Pack Size. +1 Level of Monster Area Level is preferably and we use an Irradiated, Breach, and Abyss Tablet with Monsters have % increased Effectiveness and % increased to Monster Pack size. We run a 0% Rarity setup and make all of our mapping currency from slamming iLvL 80-82
