The depth of your knowledge in this vid makes it clear as to why you were able to carry my heavy ass in the GM we did around Christmas. You really know your stuff man. Good vid.
You know, I remember getting a GM done from a clutch LFG bottom tree Nighstalker last season in Glassway, we had no mics. I wonder if it was this guy 🤔
I've been swapping between Omnioculus and Graviton Forfeit since I got into endgame activities, and it seems like each of them have their place Both playstyles are wildly similar, but Graviton Forfeit seems to get a small edge in solo activities and in keeping the heart of the pack buff active during the whole activity, since you have technically permanent invisibility But Omniculus has an edge in GMs and Master raids, since those are activities in which you are getting constantly bombarded by enemies and having that x4 resistance at all times helps you to reposition and res your teammates way easier than it would be with Forfeit, since sometimes they just get oneshotted even if you make them invisible as they spawn. Also, missing a grenade can mean the end of you, since getting close to an enemy to dodge and get your melee back could easily end with you turned into a carbonized pile of dust TL;DR: Graviton Forfeit is "better" for solo activities, and it's way easier to fix your fuck ups with that build. Omnioculus is way better in hard activities with fellow guardians, since you can give them resistance, but if you fuck up once, you might as well hide in a corner and wait for your inevitable demise
A lot of this “may” change come void 3.0. Dude great video with everything thought out. Content like this is why I subbed to you. Keep up the great work
I was gonna say, "forever" might be the next 12 days lol. Should still be a solid build going forward, but it'll be interesting to see how it evolves. Edit: Bungie just previewed void 3.0 and I think the double melee charges will continue to be very strong with the void dive ability.
I’ve been watching your content for about a month now, doing my best to absorb all of your strategies. Watching this was like a technique checklist, and I’m happy to say I’ve got everything checked. I’ve been a Nightstalker main since The Taken King, but I’ve been locked into top tree for the simplicity of dodge cloaking and the effectiveness of its tether… Your content and methods have literally changed the way I play a game I’ve been playing for seven years. Until this season, I’ve never been bold enough to attempt a GM, and when I finally did, I surrendered to LFG demands for Wellocks… effective but just… not as fun… But your content empowered me to play how I really want to play. In a single (albeit extra-long) season, I went from never having attempted a GM to earning my gilded Conqueror seal last night - all while staying almost permanently invisible. So many Last Guardian Standings - SO many clutch revives (and even a couple clan poaching attempts)! As sincerely as I can express it in a RUclips comment - THANK YOU!!
Amazing video. Truly masterful and knowledgeable of the build and playstyle. I would easily share and recommend this video to anyone for guidance. I learned a couple of tricks from the video myself. A couple of other tips/suggestions I can provide: 1. Use power preservation (stasis) mod on your helmet. It allows your super to generate additional orbs of power when getting kills with your super. Further enhances the support playstyle by giving more orbs for your teammates so they can get their supers back faster. 2. (Unless this has been patched, which I'm pretty sure it hasn't) you can refresh protective light by making yourself invisible w/ Omnioculus. Works for your teammates too. Smoking yourself refreshes the timer on protective light, practically granting permanent damage resistance.
I initially clicked on this video to listen to a fellow Nightstalker talk about the extreme power that Omnioculus provides while I do chores, but after a few minutes of watching the intro, you had me hooked purely based on how well made the video was. Although I didn't learn anything new, this video has officially become one of my favorites of all time, purely because of the effort and time put into it.
He just used fairly obvious techniques like spamming keywords and building suspension by telling you nothing for the first 5 mins just rewording the same intro over and over. This is basically how most people make these “professional documentary” Esque videos even if they just have nice clips and graphics with a basic attention mongering script. Is it informative? Yes. Is it overly stretched? Yes. Is it nice to watch? Yes. But, could it be much more entertaining? Yes
I've sang the praises of Omnioculus hunter since the chest piece came out. My friend finds getting invis from me all the time "annoying". I have saved his life more times than I can count
Outstanding guide. It might be on the longer side, but it explains all of the essentials and really helps emphasize how to make this build work properly. This is why you are my go to for everything PVE related 🤝
I believe you answer the question "why hunters are not wanted in endgame PvE" in your intro very well: well, bubble & thundercrash are low skill, med/high reward playstyles that are very easy to adopt. Each of them have their own nuances but the base is simple enough for anyone to play. There is a lot of leeway to make mistakes. Omni hunter requires study & full understanding of the kit to reach similar if not greater payout, where a single mistake can turn your clutch into the wipe screen. This leads LFG players to not want hunters out right because you have no idea if the guy joining is on their 15th or 1500th hour of hunter.
Great guide! I’ve been maining Omni the whole season and even used it to two man guild my conqueror seal with a friend, yet I still picked up a few tips. Only thing I would have added is the super is pretty decent for ad clear and you can get great value only firing two or three shots of it in a lot of situations. Took a while to learn there’s no need to spam fire to get the full 5/6 shots and be a massive target.
Never bothered to hunt for Omni until yesterday in preparation for void 3.0. This could not come in a better time. Thanks a lot, Mactics and awesome work :)
I only finally got omnioculus about 2 weeks ago (i never was a fan of doing the legend/master lost sectors). But as a fervent fan of nightstalker hunter i buckled down and did it. When I ran my first nightfall with it equipped, like you said, as a beginner with it, it felt a little weaker but neat. I liked being able to constantly smoke bomb my team to give them an edge if they got surrounded. The second nightfall I ran with it I knew I was in love with the build, even without mods the near constant smoke bomb/invis/defense buff finally made me feel like the dangerous stealthy rogue I would fantasize as using bladedancer in D1. By the third nightfall.... By the end of the third nightfall I used this setup in I was questioning why I didn't see way more hunters using this setup. Hell I didn't even have armor mods optimized and I was helping my friends absolutely tear through anything in our path. For a giggle we ran a set up with this hunter build, ward of dawn titan, and well warlock. Took some coordination but when you finally get the buff's from all three setups stacked and going? Hoooo boy. Your fireteam could probably dive into the core of a sun and survive. Nothing could touch us.
Amazing video! As a veteran hunter who uses the perma invis build, I definitely learned about the “grace period” which was super valuable to learn. You won yourself a new sub.
I just wish the video came like 3months ago. Been following you when I saw that you actually made video on continuous grenades (which is part of this build) and made me go for multiple GM completions as a hunter. Thanks for that
Clear, concise and to the point. Spoken at a pace that aids understanding. Many youtubers could learn a lot from you. Subscribed. Step 1 for me, go get omni
Thanks for this video, I play omnioculus all the time. LOL, I have masterworked four Omni chest pieces trying to get the correct stats. Your build explaination convinced me to let go of 100 recovery and instead going for mobility/strength/dicipline ( with 70 recovery ). Really enjoy the playstyle, thanks again.
Thank you for explaining EVERYTHING…. And not rushing just to get something out to gain thumbs up… I would gladly wait a day or two just for this fact and if I could, I would give you 100 👍🏾
Another thing to explore with bottom tree, have the stasis helm with extra orbs created from super on them. This does have a down side, you’ll get the default four orbs during or after the super ends. How ever with two orb mods slotted you can get two additional orbs per kill effected by your super while the bar is yellow, before super’s end. Example: shot one or two shots from super, grenade one location, focus your weapon fire at another. It is possible (with enough enemies available) to create more than enough orbs to give allies their super back. 18 orbs for a full super.
I was a night stalker main before stasis and focusing lens this season. I’m happy I found this so I can give my nightstalker the time it deserves now. Can’t wait to give it a go. Great video!
I've been running omni hunter since I saw how good it was in GMs with your stream. I was missing the right mods so this video was really helpful, thank you!
This was amazing! Extremely detailed explanation without wasting anyone's time, everything on point and the structure was immaculate. Really enjoyed your voice too. I guess I'm gonna switch to hunter now. Also slapped that subs icon so hard I almost died to the architects... Keep up man!
This video was exceptionally done (from structure to editing to content). I may be biased because I love playing Omni hunter (even before this video and especially for GM’s), but this was such a good video. I have lots of room to grow to maximize the capability of the build and have already noticed improvement after incorporated a good deal of advice you put into this video. Thanks! I felt so strongly about the quality of this video that I broke my long trend of not commenting on any video I watch to comment here. Keep up the good work!
Omni has been my favorite hunter exotic since it came out. I used to solo flawless Prophecy before I even knew what protective light was. Still, you had more insight on the exotic than I knew about, earned a sub.
I didn't really need to change my build too much because I focus on getting abilities back but you really helped me utilize this class more effectively.
Cracking video dude! I just returned to D2 last month after a couple years off and been maining a Grav Forfeit bottom tree nightstalker and loving it. This seems like the next tier evolution of it and I'm amping to try it out. Incindentally, was just watching an IFrostbolt vid where he is using a variant of Omni build in PVP and loving it so I think I'm gonna full commit to mastering this class. Awesome content, keep at it man!
What a perfect in depth video to come before witch queens drop of void 3.0, this helps show us the tool kit necessary to succeed and we’ll have some great toys to play with in terms of new aspects and fragments which will help focus our new elemental builds and possibly multiple builds depending on the fragments/aspects. 10/10 you got another subscriber from me, great stuff ❤️
This was very well made; i was already rocking this setup and was amazed on how easy i could kill mobs with this; this setup already has VOID 3.0 in mind! Well Done Mactics!
This is by far, one of the BEST videos I've ever seen. Very well put together, explained in detail for either the beginner or the OG's of Destiny. I totally appreciate the time and effort you took to make this. Made me want to go make this build and play! I have the most fun on my Hunter, but now it'll be a blast! Thanks!
As a fellow Omni main, this is such a good resource. I can send all the people who ask me how it works here instead of having to give a dissertation half way through a GM LOL.
while i've been maining omni since it released - i wish you had released this video sooner as you do an amazing job with your explanations even if i didn't personally learn anything other than reinforce the playloops and timings i had also discovered it was satisfying to hear someone explain what i had found so elequently.. i feel like void 3.0 is going to potentially ruin my favorite part of the feedback loop with no HOTP and grenade refund on smoke
Excellent video...like all the others you've posted. Hope your channel grows, and gets the recognition it deserves, as you are one of the few content creators who's videos are absolutely top tier.
I knew most all of this, I just kinda forgot about how effective it is. At some point I had swapped to Graviton after the rework and forgot how to be a good teammate. Great video though, definitely much faster than playing for hundreds of hours to manually figure out the little tricks. Hopefully all the LFG folks see this. This has totally gotten me out of my, hunters-suck-in-team-PvE rut, so thanks for the extra boost I’ll need if I’m going to finish the conqueror gild.
Man i am in love with Destiny now. The Mod system is reminescent of FF7 materia, except its way more advanced and is for 1st person shooters. If they can build on this next season i will be getting a seperation from the wife. Awsome presentation and editing. Thumbs up
Hey there! I've loved Omni since release, its crazy fun, I used it in solo content until the hunter dodge was nerfed, in which I moved to Graviton Forfeit; but I still use Omni in non-solo content. Here are some extra tips: * Grace Period is i think actually 800 seconds (I think) * Pretty sure kickstart mods don't work with Omni, as if you are invising an ally, you are not fully depleting your smoke energy, and unless you throw your 'nade in an area that has no enemies, same thing. * This build shines with blinding nade launchers if you can run it * The smoke bombs actually ping the enemy (thats what the little sound is before it blows up) and enemies will sometimes focus the location of the smoke, though this is most noticeable in solo content * this can be difficult, but if the target you are looking to tether doesnt have much movement, you can use the nade/melee combo with the grace period of invis to tether, this can be risky, but can help in solo content * resilience IS IMOPRTANT, you should be running 50-60 resil, otherwise you will get one shot when you least expect it * I haven't fully tested this, but I think you can also run well of tenacity, which allows you to pick up void wells for more resist, for 5 seconds, this could help with keeping your shields up, therefore not wasting protective light.
A true Omnioculus master class! Forgive me if I missed it but it's important to note when chaning invis on teammates that it doesn't work if they are being passive/ are still invisible. Ensure their invis has deactivated before re chaining it! Much love - Fellow Omni main
Phenomenal build and video! I use Omni on my Bottomtree Nightstalker in PvP. It’s a truly underrated exotic and build. I look forward to the changes with Void 3.0 and I am really excited to try this out on the PvE side of the game.
FIANLLY I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE OMNIS CAME IT AND EVERYONE SAID ITS TRASH LMFAOO thank you for making this i love the synergy between the smokes and nades and if you can juggle them right you can get INFINITE INVIS + NADES its cracked, Granted you need a coordinated team as if the rando wanders off and you only hit 1 with your nade you'll only get half back or get 1 back if your lucky and juggle again but its such a good combo and cracked for gms since you can stay invis and take no dmg or flinch and dont have to worry about shooting since i can just keep spamming them fast asf meaning itll keep you invis even though your shooting its op for getting rez's its op for everything pretty much aslong as you have 2 teammates and its even more insane if you all have it that way even if someone misses 1 there are 2 more to juggle for you until you get it back Well is still cracked i'd say its the best set and forget raid/pve prep super you need and can use solo or in a team that gives a decent dmg boost and survivability and can also be used to secure a rez easily and then turn it back and use it for dps or for saving low teammates/being crit overall its a good medium between survivability and dmg infinite invis omnis is all survivability its great on its own but its even better with teammates as you can get great synergy between nade tick dmg its nothing insane but it helps clearing SOME ads atleast or keeping the enemies flinch/dmg locked so they dont instantly focus and laser you doesnt really work on all enemies and gives a very tiny delay so nothing crazy there either but the invis is where it shines you can stay invis virtually the entire gm/pve activity if you can coordinate between you and your teammates i know you already explained this in the vid but its just crazy finally someone shows the power of invis even though its always been good since forever lol EDIT: I already learned something new with invis I didn't realize there was a 1 second grace period that you could utilize very helpful tip
Thank you for the detailed information. I have been using this at a starter level and made a lot of mistakes that you cover here. Now that I understand the build better I am very excited to use this for Day 1 raiding!
I've loved Omni Hunter, it's the only thing that can pull me away from warlock. I've made many of the "beginner" mistakes and never mastered the play style. This video taught me what I was doing wrong, I'm gonna play around with it a bunch before WQ.
Great video! Not gonna lie, when I saw how long the video was, I didn’t plan on sticking around for the whole thing. Here I am at the end writing a comment and subscribing. Well done.
duuude thanks for this! I was never the biggest fan of this build but you taught me that I was doing a few things wrong. Crucially, I didn't know about the grace period! And I forgot about double grenade duration! Instant sub, keep up the good work! :)
I loved the video, super useful as a main hunter who has to flex for GMs I also need to know the music you used for this video, it's awesome and I loved it
Thank you for your insight on making this build. I've been working on putting together a build on this exotic, and your video just helped me make my build far more efficient.
Very good explanation. Normally i play toptree void on hunter but i did some pve endgame stuff with omnicolous and bottomtree and it is really goog but ur insight on this class with this specific exotic is incredible! Now i feel like playing this build more often, btw i am a void warlock main. The true thing to become a legend is what u did: take the class/exotic/weapons/playstyle which u like the most and make it work in endgame pve pvp...
I've been wanting a reason to play my hunter and you absolutely sold me on a build. Fantastic work friend and you got yourself a new sub keep up the good work.
Idk if you've tried Div + Arthy's embrace, but this is second to none in terms of preparation for any content. 2 champs, 2 elements just off the rip, throw a void heavy & any AB primary and you're set for every GM and come equipped for nearly any situation.
I have never been a hunter player. My hunter was always my least favorite. This video has made me really want to play hunter. I would love to see more stuff like this specifically on other hunter play styles since it’s what I’m least familiar with.
I finally feel so validated! Ive been using this since season of the chosen and have been told the build is trash or ignored because stasis is "so much better" the uttility of this build is just so fun and very satisfying when you save everyone in a gm being the last alive 10/10 best build ive ever used
Learned a ton in this and really looking forward to seeing how things change with Void 3.0. I just finally got Omnioculus a few weeks ago so now’s the time to give this Hunter build a try!
Hey Mac it’s Harm. Video came out amazing as I knew it would. I’ve shared it multiple places already. Great work and I look forward to trying out some things I learned.
My friend has been rocking this for about a month or 2 and he's a super big fan we've ran it through a few raids and it works great for any non boss fight survivability. Pair it with someone rocking boots of the assembler and you've got partywide heals, damage boost, and resistance.
I came to see if I was could add anything to my build and I was already using everything including every single mod that you mentioned. This is by far my favorite build sentence the exotic came out.
Oh.... YESSSS!! I live and die by my Omno and Nightstalker 3.0 looks like it will make this setup even more glorious. In PvE, I also like tossing on Wellspring on weapons when I run this to keep my abilities feeding
This is awesome! I’ve been disappointed by Omni and usually go with Graviton Forfeit, for easy infinite invis, but it’s clear that this is way more effective. Gonna take some practice, but I’m stoked!!
Fantastic video!!! Glad somebody sees the strength in being able stay alive no matter what and keep the team from going back to orbit in GM's. I play mine a bit different. I use 100 discipline and 100 resilience and 70 mobility. I love being tanky and playing more aggressive.
Okay, I used a build similar to this at the beginning of D2 release. Obviously I did not use the gear to my advantage. However, I had to try these tips before putting up a comment. It does take a little time to get use too, but I see where I went wrong.. This build is amazing. I feel stupid now that I had these tools right in front of me but never could figure out how to use them properly. Superlative job on this course. A plus,,,,!!
Omni Hunter is goated in Raids, but its more niche than in GMs. For MVoG and contest modifiers especially, the amount of utility is incredible. You can generate tons of orbs, pick up risky revives, and carry the blueberries towards their Mythoclast. Also, a bit of utility I don't think you mentioned. Mobius Quiver is one of the best supers in the game for orb generation. I tweak my build slightly to play into this, with kickstart mods on my gloves (if theres no champs) and dynamo on my helmet (when I can slot it). I also put a bit more into intelligence so that I can get my super out as much as possible and generate orbs for my team. This change is especially useful in raids (except for the increase to intelligence) as you can use it to sorta chain supers as well as clearing out the room. (as an example, watch how many orbs Mactics generates at 18:37. Now imagine if he did essentially the same thing during Suro Chi where there is a much higher ad density.)
Here's a secret for you all, you can reset the timer from Protective Light when you go invisible while wearing Omnioculus. The longer the initial timer was on Protective Light the longer it'll be reset to aswell. More stacks = longer timer = longer window to reset the timer. You can also refill your stacks of CWL while maintaining your damage resist from the initial stacks. Meaning you can chain damage resist for a long time while holding onto max stacks of CWL to start the DR again if you lose them. It's kinda crazy.
*CURRENTLY WORKING ON A VIDEO THAT DETAILS HOW THIS CHANGES WITH VOID 3.0 (Spoiler: It doesn't really change at all)*
I was worried about this with how Echo of Provision is worded. Basically splitting combat provision in half. Also no mention of heart of the pack.
Heart of the pack removed......
@@TheRedbaron11 sad
its irritating how so many ppl don't know or care about this, gr8 vid making it possible for 98% of who see this vid will finally understand.
@@Exodeux no mention of heart of the pack because there is no heart of the pack anymore
The depth of your knowledge in this vid makes it clear as to why you were able to carry my heavy ass in the GM we did around Christmas. You really know your stuff man. Good vid.
Indeed a very cool build, love your channel as well!
You know, I remember getting a GM done from a clutch LFG bottom tree Nighstalker last season in Glassway, we had no mics. I wonder if it was this guy 🤔

I've been swapping between Omnioculus and Graviton Forfeit since I got into endgame activities, and it seems like each of them have their place
Both playstyles are wildly similar, but Graviton Forfeit seems to get a small edge in solo activities and in keeping the heart of the pack buff active during the whole activity, since you have technically permanent invisibility
But Omniculus has an edge in GMs and Master raids, since those are activities in which you are getting constantly bombarded by enemies and having that x4 resistance at all times helps you to reposition and res your teammates way easier than it would be with Forfeit, since sometimes they just get oneshotted even if you make them invisible as they spawn. Also, missing a grenade can mean the end of you, since getting close to an enemy to dodge and get your melee back could easily end with you turned into a carbonized pile of dust
TL;DR: Graviton Forfeit is "better" for solo activities, and it's way easier to fix your fuck ups with that build. Omnioculus is way better in hard activities with fellow guardians, since you can give them resistance, but if you fuck up once, you might as well hide in a corner and wait for your inevitable demise

Edit: Bungie just previewed void 3.0 and I think the double melee charges will continue to be very strong with the void dive ability.
If anything, I think it'll become stronger.
It looks like most of the components that make up Way of the Pathfinder are gonna be replicated in some way in Void 3.0
If you still get Heart of the Pack with Snare, Omnioculus and Sixth Coyote is going to be so broken
@@casuallybad nope they took away heart of the pack

amazing structure, explanation, background music, animation; all in all the whole package is great!!!
What an amazing video. Even after years of playing there is still so much to learn in being a hunter. Thank you Mactics 😊

This is one of the most in depth and insightful build videos I've ever seen. Well done.
Clear, great content, great editing ! This new format is just awesome. Love the shared build on DIM: that’s the first time I see this. Thanks Man !
I was looking for in depth video about Omnioculus build, thank you for this Mac, great guide and explanation.

This is without a doubt the most in depth and easy to understand video about class management and playstyle. Gg man
I’ve been using top tree void with 6th coyote for a while because it’s so easy to run.
After watching this video I’m going to try this.
Nice work.
I was a night stalker main before stasis and focusing lens this season. I’m happy I found this so I can give my nightstalker the time it deserves now. Can’t wait to give it a go. Great video!
I've been running omni hunter since I saw how good it was in GMs with your stream. I was missing the right mods so this video was really helpful, thank you!
This video is amazing, only just created a hunter and didn't know a thing about it's void subclass. Thank you so much
This was amazing! Extremely detailed explanation without wasting anyone's time, everything on point and the structure was immaculate. Really enjoyed your voice too. I guess I'm gonna switch to hunter now.
Also slapped that subs icon so hard I almost died to the architects... Keep up man!
This video was exceptionally done (from structure to editing to content). I may be biased because I love playing Omni hunter (even before this video and especially for GM’s), but this was such a good video. I have lots of room to grow to maximize the capability of the build and have already noticed improvement after incorporated a good deal of advice you put into this video. Thanks! I felt so strongly about the quality of this video that I broke my long trend of not commenting on any video I watch to comment here. Keep up the good work!
Omni has been my favorite hunter exotic since it came out. I used to solo flawless Prophecy before I even knew what protective light was. Still, you had more insight on the exotic than I knew about, earned a sub.
Haven't even fully watched the video, but there is so much effort put in, underrated RUclipsr. You deserve to make it big
I didn't really need to change my build too much because I focus on getting abilities back but you really helped me utilize this class more effectively.
This Vid was a lovely refresher of things for Omni invis, I run this build in everything I do (Even free roam). Keep it up man.
Im new to destiny and this video was the most comfortable ive ever felt taking in all the useful information. 100% worth my sub lol.
Cracking video dude! I just returned to D2 last month after a couple years off and been maining a Grav Forfeit bottom tree nightstalker and loving it. This seems like the next tier evolution of it and I'm amping to try it out. Incindentally, was just watching an IFrostbolt vid where he is using a variant of Omni build in PVP and loving it so I think I'm gonna full commit to mastering this class. Awesome content, keep at it man!
What a perfect in depth video to come before witch queens drop of void 3.0, this helps show us the tool kit necessary to succeed and we’ll have some great toys to play with in terms of new aspects and fragments which will help focus our new elemental builds and possibly multiple builds depending on the fragments/aspects. 10/10 you got another subscriber from me, great stuff ❤️
This was very well made; i was already rocking this setup and was amazed on how easy i could kill mobs with this; this setup already has VOID 3.0 in mind! Well Done Mactics!
This is by far, one of the BEST videos I've ever seen. Very well put together, explained in detail for either the beginner or the OG's of Destiny. I totally appreciate the time and effort you took to make this. Made me want to go make this build and play! I have the most fun on my Hunter, but now it'll be a blast! Thanks!
As a fellow Omni main, this is such a good resource. I can send all the people who ask me how it works here instead of having to give a dissertation half way through a GM LOL.
Amazing vid Mactics! I could see all the effort you put in, and the 20 minutes felt short with all the info you put in. Very engaging, great work!!!
Very in-depth with amazing editing to boot. Great work!
Music selection is top tier my friend TOP TIER ! Great vid. As a warlock main it is draining always being the wellock !
Dude the absolute beauty of the video structure has earned a subscriber. Great effort
while i've been maining omni since it released - i wish you had released this video sooner as you do an amazing job with your explanations even if i didn't personally learn anything other than reinforce the playloops and timings i had also discovered it was satisfying to hear someone explain what i had found so elequently.. i feel like void 3.0 is going to potentially ruin my favorite part of the feedback loop with no HOTP and grenade refund on smoke
Excellent video...like all the others you've posted. Hope your channel grows, and gets the recognition it deserves, as you are one of the few content creators who's videos are absolutely top tier.
Thanks for putting this together, Mac. Super helpful information as always!
I knew most all of this, I just kinda forgot about how effective it is. At some point I had swapped to Graviton after the rework and forgot how to be a good teammate.
Great video though, definitely much faster than playing for hundreds of hours to manually figure out the little tricks. Hopefully all the LFG folks see this.
This has totally gotten me out of my, hunters-suck-in-team-PvE rut, so thanks for the extra boost I’ll need if I’m going to finish the conqueror gild.
Man i am in love with Destiny now. The Mod system is reminescent of FF7 materia, except its way more advanced and is for 1st person shooters.
If they can build on this next season i will be getting a seperation from the wife.
Awsome presentation and editing.
Thumbs up
As a fellow Nightstalker main, I appreciate the knowledge.
Hey there! I've loved Omni since release, its crazy fun, I used it in solo content until the hunter dodge was nerfed, in which I moved to Graviton Forfeit; but I still use Omni in non-solo content. Here are some extra tips:
* Grace Period is i think actually 800 seconds (I think)
* Pretty sure kickstart mods don't work with Omni, as if you are invising an ally, you are not fully depleting your smoke energy, and unless you throw your 'nade in an area that has no enemies, same thing.
* This build shines with blinding nade launchers if you can run it
* The smoke bombs actually ping the enemy (thats what the little sound is before it blows up) and enemies will sometimes focus the location of the smoke, though this is most noticeable in solo content
* this can be difficult, but if the target you are looking to tether doesnt have much movement, you can use the nade/melee combo with the grace period of invis to tether, this can be risky, but can help in solo content
* resilience IS IMOPRTANT, you should be running 50-60 resil, otherwise you will get one shot when you least expect it
* I haven't fully tested this, but I think you can also run well of tenacity, which allows you to pick up void wells for more resist, for 5 seconds, this could help with keeping your shields up, therefore not wasting protective light.
One of the best formats for a build video that I've ever seen.
A true Omnioculus master class! Forgive me if I missed it but it's important to note when chaning invis on teammates that it doesn't work if they are being passive/ are still invisible. Ensure their invis has deactivated before re chaining it! Much love - Fellow Omni main
Phenomenal build and video! I use Omni on my Bottomtree Nightstalker in PvP. It’s a truly underrated exotic and build. I look forward to the changes with Void 3.0 and I am really excited to try this out on the PvE side of the game.
Always loved your GM content that I would catch on Reddit. Cool to see you branching out further, keep it coming!
FIANLLY I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE OMNIS CAME IT AND EVERYONE SAID ITS TRASH LMFAOO thank you for making this i love the synergy between the smokes and nades and if you can juggle them right you can get INFINITE INVIS + NADES its cracked, Granted you need a coordinated team as if the rando wanders off and you only hit 1 with your nade you'll only get half back or get 1 back if your lucky and juggle again but its such a good combo and cracked for gms since you can stay invis and take no dmg or flinch and dont have to worry about shooting since i can just keep spamming them fast asf meaning itll keep you invis even though your shooting its op for getting rez's its op for everything pretty much aslong as you have 2 teammates and its even more insane if you all have it that way even if someone misses 1 there are 2 more to juggle for you until you get it back
Well is still cracked i'd say its the best set and forget raid/pve prep super you need and can use solo or in a team that gives a decent dmg boost and survivability and can also be used to secure a rez easily and then turn it back and use it for dps or for saving low teammates/being crit overall its a good medium between survivability and dmg
infinite invis omnis is all survivability its great on its own but its even better with teammates as you can get great synergy between nade tick dmg its nothing insane but it helps clearing SOME ads atleast or keeping the enemies flinch/dmg locked so they dont instantly focus and laser you doesnt really work on all enemies and gives a very tiny delay so nothing crazy there either but the invis is where it shines you can stay invis virtually the entire gm/pve activity if you can coordinate between you and your teammates i know you already explained this in the vid but its just crazy finally someone shows the power of invis even though its always been good since forever lol
EDIT: I already learned something new with invis I didn't realize there was a 1 second grace period that you could utilize very helpful tip
Thank you for the detailed information. I have been using this at a starter level and made a lot of mistakes that you cover here. Now that I understand the build better I am very excited to use this for Day 1 raiding!
This intro really makes me feel like I’m trying to get my driver license all over again
I've loved Omni Hunter, it's the only thing that can pull me away from warlock. I've made many of the "beginner" mistakes and never mastered the play style. This video taught me what I was doing wrong, I'm gonna play around with it a bunch before WQ.
Been using this for gms ever since I started running them, especially when underleveled, it’s a phenomenal build that works incredibly well
Great video! Not gonna lie, when I saw how long the video was, I didn’t plan on sticking around for the whole thing. Here I am at the end writing a comment and subscribing. Well done.
:D
duuude thanks for this! I was never the biggest fan of this build but you taught me that I was doing a few things wrong. Crucially, I didn't know about the grace period! And I forgot about double grenade duration! Instant sub, keep up the good work! :)
I loved the video, super useful as a main hunter who has to flex for GMs
I also need to know the music you used for this video, it's awesome and I loved it
learnt some great things about how to better utilize the grace period in both solo and group content tyvm ♡
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your insight on making this build. I've been working on putting together a build on this exotic, and your video just helped me make my build far more efficient.
Good video Mac, even as a hunter main with 3500 hours in this game I learned something. Keep it up!
i've been playing Destiny and maining hunter since Season Of Opulence and still there were so much things here i didnt know about, thanks!
Very good explanation. Normally i play toptree void on hunter but i did some pve endgame stuff with omnicolous and bottomtree and it is really goog but ur insight on this class with this specific exotic is incredible! Now i feel like playing this build more often, btw i am a void warlock main. The true thing to become a legend is what u did: take the class/exotic/weapons/playstyle which u like the most and make it work in endgame pve pvp...
I forgot: greets from germany
this video was fantastic please do more deep dives on builds
You've been hyping this video up for a couple weeks and you did not disappoint looking forward to more content like this
I've been wanting a reason to play my hunter and you absolutely sold me on a build. Fantastic work friend and you got yourself a new sub keep up the good work.
Idk if you've tried Div + Arthy's embrace, but this is second to none in terms of preparation for any content.
2 champs, 2 elements just off the rip, throw a void heavy & any AB primary and you're set for every GM and come equipped for nearly any situation.
I have never been a hunter player. My hunter was always my least favorite. This video has made me really want to play hunter. I would love to see more stuff like this specifically on other hunter play styles since it’s what I’m least familiar with.
I finally feel so validated! Ive been using this since season of the chosen and have been told the build is trash or ignored because stasis is "so much better" the uttility of this build is just so fun and very satisfying when you save everyone in a gm being the last alive 10/10 best build ive ever used
Thank you for an AMAZING tutorial on Omnioculus. I’m enrolled and starving for more !!!!
Learned a ton in this and really looking forward to seeing how things change with Void 3.0. I just finally got Omnioculus a few weeks ago so now’s the time to give this Hunter build a try!
This build won’t work anymore
Love the video! It was put together very well. Your hard work made this amazing!
Never seen such a detailed and complex build video, well done! Now I just gotta farm lost sectors for this exotic lol.
This video format is amazing! Enjoyed watching this so much! Keep creating like these in Witch Queen :)
Thank you! Will do!
Hey Mac it’s Harm. Video came out amazing as I knew it would. I’ve shared it multiple places already. Great work and I look forward to trying out some things I learned.
Seriously phenomenal. I can tell the time spent and it's incredible
My friend has been rocking this for about a month or 2 and he's a super big fan we've ran it through a few raids and it works great for any non boss fight survivability. Pair it with someone rocking boots of the assembler and you've got partywide heals, damage boost, and resistance.
That was the best hunter build video iv ever seen and I'm a day 1 destiny 1 player. Fantastic work
I came to see if I was could add anything to my build and I was already using everything including every single mod that you mentioned. This is by far my favorite build sentence the exotic came out.
Such a well done, unique, and refreshing way to present a build. Keep up the amazing work
Highly informative! Been looking for a decent build guide for Omnioculus, and dude yours took decent and ran with it! Just subscribed, and thank you!
Awesome video, Mactics. I normally dislike playing my hunter, but you’ve convinced me to give this a try.
Oh.... YESSSS!! I live and die by my Omno and Nightstalker 3.0 looks like it will make this setup even more glorious. In PvE, I also like tossing on Wellspring on weapons when I run this to keep my abilities feeding
This is awesome! I’ve been disappointed by Omni and usually go with Graviton Forfeit, for easy infinite invis, but it’s clear that this is way more effective. Gonna take some practice, but I’m stoked!!
Every element of this video is S tier. Very well done sir👏👍
The only channel that has my notification bell on. S tier work
Fantastic video!!! Glad somebody sees the strength in being able stay alive no matter what and keep the team from going back to orbit in GM's. I play mine a bit different. I use 100 discipline and 100 resilience and 70 mobility. I love being tanky and playing more aggressive.
Okay, I used a build similar to this at the beginning of D2 release. Obviously I did not use the gear to my advantage. However, I had to try these tips before putting up a comment. It does take a little time to get use too, but I see where I went wrong.. This build is amazing. I feel stupid now that I had these tools right in front of me but never could figure out how to use them properly. Superlative job on this course. A plus,,,,!!
Omni Hunter is goated in Raids, but its more niche than in GMs. For MVoG and contest modifiers especially, the amount of utility is incredible. You can generate tons of orbs, pick up risky revives, and carry the blueberries towards their Mythoclast.
Also, a bit of utility I don't think you mentioned. Mobius Quiver is one of the best supers in the game for orb generation. I tweak my build slightly to play into this, with kickstart mods on my gloves (if theres no champs) and dynamo on my helmet (when I can slot it). I also put a bit more into intelligence so that I can get my super out as much as possible and generate orbs for my team. This change is especially useful in raids (except for the increase to intelligence) as you can use it to sorta chain supers as well as clearing out the room. (as an example, watch how many orbs Mactics generates at 18:37. Now imagine if he did essentially the same thing during Suro Chi where there is a much higher ad density.)
First time coming across your channel, the in-depth knowledgable breakdown is insane. I can't wait to see what this can do when void 3.0 comes out!
I have a feeling the Foetracers will be low key badass. The stylish executioner and the “do more dmg to low health targets” will go nicely together
I have been using this build in gms and its great. It was my ticket to a win in Proving Grounds Season 13.
Here's a secret for you all, you can reset the timer from Protective Light when you go invisible while wearing Omnioculus. The longer the initial timer was on Protective Light the longer it'll be reset to aswell. More stacks = longer timer = longer window to reset the timer. You can also refill your stacks of CWL while maintaining your damage resist from the initial stacks. Meaning you can chain damage resist for a long time while holding onto max stacks of CWL to start the DR again if you lose them. It's kinda crazy.
