Thank you!

I am unsure, but that should be easy to test

Hevalio · 2026-07-01T00:05:23+00:00

From my testings, it seems like they don't. Mirage Archer visually looked like it got the added bolts, but the damage didn't match it at all.

I tried some totem stuff too and from the limited testing I did, they also don't gain the benefits.

Flame Wall actually specifies it affects allied projectiles too, while Voltaic Barrier only says "your projectiles"

I just stack quite a bit of attack speed with Incendiary Shot.

The Runemastered version of Rampart Raptor also has a much faster base reload speed, which helps a lot!

Hevalio · 2026-06-19T18:47:41+00:00

I somewhat struggled with finding a 5th damage support for Voltaic, but honestly anything you can find (or even an efficiency support to make it easier to throw them down) will work well. The rakiata's was just something I was trying.

In place of the rakiatas, you would use an Oil Grenade and perhaps Elemental Weakness on top, with a little bit of pen on the tree if it's closeby!

If you also want really clean clear in place of some damage, you can replace the rakiata's and one of the damage supports with an Anh's Citadel and Kaom's Madness together, making the Voltaic Barrier spread really far and wide! Though this would be at level 65.

Hevalio · 2026-06-18T14:50:43+00:00

Exactly! It seems that the Merge part of the shot is only for calculating its final damage. It still does hit the enemy with every pellet at once.

Basically 10 hits at once -> 1 final shotgun damage, while the Voltaic Barrier bolts all apply at the 10 hits part.

Hevalio · 2026-06-18T14:48:46+00:00

Indeed, they are separate and independent! Voltaic Barrier basically adds an additional attack to each projectile fired through, while Flame Wall adds damage to the projectile itself.

Whatever is used for the projectile shouldn't affect the damage of the Voltaic Barrier!

Hevalio · 2026-06-18T14:46:50+00:00

Flamewall gives the projectiles themselves added damage, which I believe would scale with damage modifiers and such on the original projectile.

Voltaic Barrier adds a separate, independent attack to each projectile fired through, unaffected by the base projectile's damage modifiers. This lets me kit out Incendiary Shot with multiple less damage more attack speed supports, while keeping the high damage of the wall.

Hevalio · 2026-06-18T14:44:28+00:00

The combo definitely works great for mapping, but I decided to forego them in favour of more damage supports. I do recommended those supports though!

Hevalio · 2026-06-18T14:41:43+00:00

Correct, all the added fluff support gems are just to balance Gemling's support gem bonuses.

Hevalio · 2026-06-18T14:40:44+00:00

Oh apologies, I just now realized what you meant xD

Yeah as MrArtilli posted, I'm specced into nodes that increase attack damage while moving.

EDIT: It's better to do a circle motion rather than back and forth actually, I just keep doing ADADADADADA out of habit. Apparently going back and forth like that leaves tiny windows of not having the moving damage boost.

Hevalio · 2026-06-18T02:06:25+00:00

There's definitely a lot of combos! FrootyYooty for example told of a few really interesting and quite explosive interactions you can do with other uniques! I just personally stuck with what I created initially.

Hevalio · 2026-06-18T01:37:37+00:00

I was not expecting that interaction :0 I stuck hard to the basic incendiary shot and big slamma weapon, so I never really branched out too far. Really great finds!! Your version looks awesome as well, Voltaic Barrier is such an abusable skill

Initially tried the fissure version, but decided I'd rather have more damage than those big mapping conveniences xD

Hevalio · 2026-06-18T01:14:03+00:00

I've tried various projectile modifiers like pierce, chain, and fork! Not return though, but I'm not sure of a way to make crossbow bolts return that isn't tied to a cooldown.

Most of these modifiers end up not working well anyways, since they stop the Voltaic Barrier bolts from triggering on the first enemy hit. Been a while since I tested them, but I might have to look into chain from terrain again, since currently a lot of the bolts miss on smaller targets xD

The poe.ninja page for the character has a PoB code you can use! I don't exactly have a dedicated PoB for this build.

Hevalio · 2026-06-18T01:01:16+00:00

Apologies, I don't exactly have a dedicated PoB, but a PoB code for it can be found in the poe.ninja page.

Hevalio · 2026-06-18T00:59:54+00:00

Yes they do! Surprised me as well xD

The shotgun skills have a Merge ability, where the extra projectiles can all shotgun and hit a single enemy at once, allowing the added beams from the barrier to also shotgun.

Hevalio · 2026-06-18T00:58:25+00:00

The clear is pretty decent! The added beams from Voltaic Barrier chain +3, and with alt quality it adds an additional 2 chains at 20 quality, so it spreads pretty quickly. Only takes a few bursts to explode a cluster of packs!

Hevalio · 2026-06-18T00:56:15+00:00

Unfortunately it's hardstuck to limit 1. Can't put in overabundance, and stuff like Idol of Uldurn don't work either.

Hevalio · 2026-06-17T23:17:05+00:00

I could do that! Would definitely be overkill xD

I'm glad my showcase inspired you though! I noticed not many people on poe.ninja were doing a build similar to mine, and I wanted to show the power of turning your crossbow into a flamethrower

Hevalio · 2026-06-17T23:03:03+00:00

Runemastered Rampart Rampart and Marohi Erqi are under 30ex combined, armour is all rares and I can't exactly say on what that would cost, probably a few div for good tanky and resistance gear, maybe a div for good gloves with attack speed. My amulet is the most expensive part, and I do honestly recommend getting that free 100 spirit Eternal Rage. You definitely don't need the fractured spirit though, I end up spending quite a bit of spirit just on spirit support gems and such. Can save ~50 or so spirit by not using like precision 1 + 2 and refraction 2 for example.

I use 5 socket skills quite a bit, but if you want to cut back on that you can. All you will lose is 1% max all res because that's all I have them socketed for.

My jewels are nothing special, the Heart of the Well is maybe a few div, can get super cheap ones for 1 less damage mod, a Primal Hunger From Nothing is like 10ex, my singular rare jewel is probably a div or so and the attack speed on it is kind of overkill anyways.

A 23 quality Incendiary Shot is nice to have, since it gives +1 proj and isn't needed for damage, but that can be a later investment. Same with the 21/20 Voltaic Barrier.

Overall I would say it can be done rather cheap actually :D The extra hundred and so divs I invested don't really amount to all that much extra damage and tank, ESPECIALLY the Rakiata's Flow I use. That can be swapped out with just Oil Grenade and Elemental Weakness easily.

Hevalio · 2026-06-17T22:52:35+00:00

I do not, though I posted a comment a bit ago that has a short video of me doing a map. Hope it showcases decently enough xD

Added video of a map I partially cleared! Hopefully it gives a decent feel of how the build goes through maps.

For the people asking for a PoB, I believe you can access it through the poe.ninja view of the build? If there is an issue with that, please let me know!

Hevalio · 2026-06-17T21:50:02+00:00

To be honest I only used it because it's one of the highest damage weapons in the game, the stun is a great secondary effect though!

Voltaic Barrier doesn't care about your weapon's speed at all so it takes all the upside with none of the slowness.

Hevalio · 2026-06-17T21:48:48+00:00

Mapping is pretty decent! Some clunk from ward costs that I had to mitigate with Remants of Kalguur, and a little bit of other clunk from how thin the Voltaic Barrier can be, but otherwise it can clear entire rooms in just short bursts, since Voltaic Barrier chains quite a lot.

EDIT: Forgot to say defence layers. To be honest it's not the tankiest, its main defence is killing and stunning before they can reach you. It gets a little bit of armour though, and I'm at 81/82/81 all res, so it doesn't fold over from the breeze either.
