I've only used crossbow builds since the start of POE 2 and this is the best all around build I've made so far. It can clear all content with ease, including T3 Sim, Uber bosses, abyss overrun, etc. With the high AOE it is good for no-hit temporalis trial runs as well.

It is definitely not the fastest at deleting uber bosses but it is still pretty quick. You can switch to shockburst to down bosses faster if you want.

Basically, this build just leverages a ton of gain % damage as elemental, trinity and elemental conflux for ele multipliers (lead me through grace node required for extra spirit), and the two nodes for increased ele damage for each ailment on enemy. With the multishot gem on explosive shot, elemental ailments are applied on the first round and then you get pay off with the second two rounds, all with a single click. Increased AOE is also taken for fast clearing.

I typically use an amulet with + levels to projectiles and increased crit chance, but Yoke of suffering amulet improves boss damage with the multiplicative "enemies take % damage per ailment" but is not necessary for clearing since everything is one shot anyways.

What's the blue ring around the player, I've seen others with it but not sure

How are you so tanky? Can you still get 1 shotted? Also, you seem to really know what you’re doing. Would you be willing to check out my POB?

Dont you want to find Molten One's Gift for +20% dmg on megalo or else? Since I see you have explosive shot and broken armor status effect

Oh, another crossbow build, dont mind if i do.
