PSA for Crossbow users: Galvanic Shards + Shockburst Rounds + Herald of Thunder is a fantastic combo
Galvanic Shards linked with Close Combat, Innervate, and Electrocute
Shockburst Rounds linked with Lightning Infusion and Primal Armament
Galvanic Shards in this setup can self reliably proc shock pretty consistently. If it feels low, you can use Voltaic Grenades to help increase chances to shock since they do a sizable amount of damage on their own. When you have a tough enemy shocked, switch to Shockburst and go to town and watch their HP bars melt away!

I tried the setup, turns out Galvanic Shards doesn't shock/electrocute the boss enough on its own, so on the boss I have to use High Velocity Rounds with Conductivity support until the boss gets shocked (usually pretty quickly), then use Shockburst Rounds to do a ridiculous amount of damage. If you got better setup without using grenades please send tell.
What else to use till shockburst rounds?
Anyone had any luck getting Plasma Blast to work well? Tried it a handful of ways but the support gems seem to work differently on it so it's weird. Like Scattershot makes it repeat twice instead of doing a three way fork.
Thats exactly what I plan to play when I can finally start so good to hear
What ascendancy are you running?
Im thinking of deadeye
Thanks mate
As an aside, are any of the phys xbow skills good? I had an idea to do phys/stun oriented xbow warrior but all of the ele skills seem vastly better.
Is the explosion of Shockburst hitting the target as well?
Has anyone found a way to make the shock / electrocute more consistent? It goes away to fast for me to use all of the shockburst rounds
