Correction: Slickdraw is just as good if not better than Quickdraw for PvE swap shotguns, they have the same scalar for ready but Slick also affects stow! (and obviously AA doesn't matter)
Finally, my opinion has arrived
😂 so true
*fact
Don’t bring that shitty meme here
This is too real
My thought exactly
It's extremely weird that they chose to give us another nadir focus sword but its the same element and has very similar perks (like repulsor/destabilizing). It almost feels like a mistake.
Dragon’s Breath always has 1 stack of Composite Propellant, so you only need two ignitions to fill the stacks and get the autoload. Way I see it, this’ll be another heavy Wither where best-use is a single user so the ignitions don’t bottleneck you. Def gonna be goated for solo stuff imo.
Does star fire still proc ignition? Might be worth it with the rocket
i think it could really shine for dps for bosses where anarchy was used before it got nerfed tbh, though not for all special weapon options since you need to reapply it more often
@@donalddavis303star fire never specifically procced ignition. Fusion grenades do apply scorch and apply even more with touch of flame.
@@Sebastian-mp1blYeah I think touch of flame+ember of ashes is 80 scorch or something like that. Makes it very easy to ignite. Imagine hothead with pre nerf starfire and maybe demolitionist specials for special dps
@@donalddavis303why would it not? It's exotic effect doesn't effect scorch or ignitions directly what so ever
I love your ability to understand when you don’t know enough to say whether something is good or not, like you know so much about the game and have scientifically tested everything that you know to prove for a fact whether something is good and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge and not being arrogant about it at all! It’s incredibly rare in all aspects of life
Slice could be incredible in pvp, popping it before a duel to increase your enemies ttk just by shooting them, creating a tangle on kill
That sounds pretty sick yeah
Wallah did a vid on it, definitely gonna be a factor but it’s not on any great weapons rn. If it ever pops up on a solid SMG or hand cannon it’s gonna be a problem
I remember loving Disparity with Rapid Hit, Headseeker since it seemed to turn it into a very reliable 2 burst...
Now that there's a lot of sources of Overshield, tamage taken reduction and damage dealt reduction? Not so sure anymore.
Wouldn't surprise me at this point if full auto weapons like ARs SMGs and rapid-fire Sidearms become the most preferred simply because some the above mechanics doesn't throw them off as much as slow firing/burst firing weapons.
@@JoelHernandez-tz3vkpulses also took a pretty big hit w/ the zoom changes since zoom doesn’t = range anymore. Disparity having 19 zoom is basically a negative at this point. Pretty much back to SMGs and hand cannons being meta at the top end, Handcannons got the peak shots & SMGs got the ttk and still have crazy ranges (unending tempest go brrr)
@@Geechi_ I also love the BxR despite having even more zoom and a slower killing frame.
The high stats and perfectly clean visibility through the scope has probably something to do with it.
The Dawning Glaive (and seemingly the dungeon rocket sidearm) get a perk called Beacon Rounds that grants projectile tracking on kill, but since neither are out, we can't say how effective the effect is. Looks like it's a first slot perk so maybe it'll be useful?
Yeah it’ll definitely be really nice for glaive quality of life
Wait a minute. Did you say rocket sidearm?
@@caseyl5001 Yup! New special ammo archetype they mentioned would come in Final Shape but is dropping this season. Check collections- sidearm have a special ammo spot now.
@@WhatLake The next one in the growing line of multi-type weapons, from the guys that brought us:
the Auto/Grenade rifle (Quicksilver),
the Auto/Linear Fusion (Mythoclast, that is classified as a fusion rifle),
the Sidearm/Fusion (Devil's Ruin),
the Pulse/Sniper rifle (Revision Zero)
the Auto/Shotgun (Cerberus, waiting on them to buff the 'shotgun' part)
Though I guess it's less of a Sidearm/Rocket and more of a sidearm that shoots rocket-like rounds lol.
I’m so happy subjunctive is back. There’s something about it that I love so much. I used it over The Recluse in Shadowkeep and kept my roll after it was sunset. It can finally rest in peace
10:38 Slickdraw instead of quick draw would be slightly better for Tractor swapping because slickdraw also effects the stow speed (D2 foundry data) while quick draw does not.
Interesting
@@TheAegisRelic Again, that’s just looking at the handling tab of stat changes from D2 Foundry. Handling has always been a weird stat because there’s multiple things it changes (ADS, swap, stow, and ready). There was a recent CammyCakes video where he mentioned that he learned that stow speed cannot be changed in specific circumstances. I myself have noticed some discrepancies in the handling of weapons in certain scenarios by using Divinity in PvP a lot. Specifically, there are times when weapons will seemingly randomly have a ready speed so high that the weapon will fire before the model appears on your screen. I have a lot of clips showing this happening to see if they ever fix it or if it can be replicated somehow for a benefit.
Yeah that was called the "quickswap bug" (I don't mean the intentional one) in the speedrun community, basically when you first load into an activity or wipe or respawn or use class ability (?) your first swap afterwards is extremely fast and bypasses all animations and ready/stow time, pretty weird
@TheAegisRelic out of curiosity, is there any practical application for this or Is it just an oddity?
@@mainsails2892 Nah not really
I've always wanted Voltshot on a waveframe, because for me Chain Reaction is really inconsistent, it always leaves half-damaged red bars very close to the wave even in easiest content and Undercurrent also having Demo is just perfect.
If voltshot was really that good more people would be running the gl from defiance, forbearance is still the clear king
@@ethanhensley9355the difference is the one from defiance isn’t a wave frane
@@ethanhensley9355 lightweight gls are way worse
@@flopre9213 my point is that voltshot isn’t that much of a difference and chain reaction is very good. If voltshot was that good you would know already, didn’t it get nerfed last season too
@@ethanhensley9355voltshot applying jolt to multiple targets hit with the same wave if it works that way will be VERY good
Basically yeah its a wave frame (very good) and prodigal return is just a lightweight (pretty bad)
I love how thorough you are dude, it goes without saying, but you are much appreciated for all you do!!!
Thanks!
I’m 100% going for that nightfall wave frame as well as the seasonal strand fusion rifle. Honestly can’t remember the last time I tried to actively grind vanguard other than the hothead.
As a hunter grinding for warden’s law was kind of good. Its still niche compared to malf given how it is used but it does its thing.
But yeah honestly surprised by this one
I want to point out permeability has one small thing besides being easier to keep active it’s on energy weapons so the element swapping effect is no longer a damage decrease. So it could one day show up on weird weapons like a solar weapon with permeability and incandescent
You raise some interesting points I'll have to keep an eye on in the future
Meh affinity really plays a small role these days for the price of a perk especially but maybe
@@TheAegisRelic yeah I’m not expecting anything meta breaking it’s just a perk that definitely has some fun potential that worth keeping a tab on
Could it be considered a damage perk?
If you have triple surge mods for strand/stasis it could allow for your energy weapon to get a 22% boost from your surge mods.
With firing line/p instrument it might make it so you could run sniper dps into gl envious cascade to empty reserves then use nav grapple points to chain grapple melee.
Might be more work then just using rockets but there is a loop there
Unraveling/Volatile rounds on a weapon with a different elementsl perk would be so fun
I've been enjoying Repulsor Brace + Explosive Head Lethophobia with Gyrfalcons, and it works a treat. though the weapon seems pretty useless without Gyrfalcons.
Briar bind warlock might work well with it.
Fantastic breakdown. Thank you
Nice work, that was really helpful!
Definitely gonna be grinding for that nightfall wave frame. It’s a shame that there aren’t any fast farm gm’s again this season
On the marcato, unless they fixed it, if you kill an enemy suspended by Mindspun Invocation, that counts as an ability kill and will proc Golden Tricorn x2. Coolguy's video about perpetualis talks about it and I have used it and can confirm that this is how it works. Unless it was changed.
This makes Golden Tricorn extremely easy to use on warlock.
That sounds pretty useful
My buddy has Rewind and Onslaught on Ros Arago (void auto) and it’s really nice for Gyrfalcon play
Also considering Gunslinger is back on the menu in a big way, don’t necessarily write off Adhortative, the solar Vex pulse
Gets Heal Clip + Incan, which for Gunslinger is huge since its only weakness is survivability, which basically just amounts to reliance on Restoration and perpetuating it with Empyrean
But with Cure on any kill, you suddenly are way more comfortable than just Resto alone, and the same perk combo is on the Heliocentric sidearm (which is great imo)
Waiting on a lightweight SMG to get Heal + Incandescent or Firefly/Dragonfly
Cure x1 isn't going to do much for you in endgame PvE, it's mostly a Benevolence proc if anything tbh
@@TheAegisRelic it’s not huge yeah but considering the typical opportunity cost for taking Heal Clip is dropping a reload perk, when used on a subclass that gets On Your Mark for passive reload buffing, it can be nice to have
Mainly for those times you could use a bit of healing while on Nighthawk, and don’t want to or can’t run down a firesprite to restart resto timer if it fell off
Definitely not a must-use for speedplay, and for solo play you’re in a position where you’ll need to be more optimized and would likely be swapping to and from A.Cowl for your survival rather than caring about Heal Clip, but I rarely loadout swap mid-encounter in normal day-to-day content (let alone locked loadout stuff if I want to run Nighthawk)
The new seasonal weapons are old weapons such as scatter signal being the same base model as null composure but they look good
Aztecross already tested the dragons breath catalyst, it doesnt change how fast the ignitions proc and reload your gun. In other words, it only changes the fuel charge rate when your not using your rocket
he also chose the weirdest in optimal ways to do damage with Dragon's breath, not take advantage of the auto reload, and decided to be somewhat optimal with his other rocket tests. His damage tests are not one's to take to heart
@@cyclo_17 It still showed the catalyst recharge rate wasn’t changed, which is the point here. His way of testing is weird tho
That sucks man
I'm really looking forward to the wave frame. Considering on level content is where ads reliably die in one wave chain reaction or not, I'm looking forward to trying something that offers more synergy with the current subclass sandbox
Looking forward to your take on the exotic armor changes
When you mentioned If Disruption break being useful at all, If you have DB on a glaive it can buff the melee damage. The GOTD Glaive has DB in the 3rd column and has Close to melee in the 4th, So you could get some big melee damage.
Yeah, unfortunately there aren't many shielded high-health targets worth doing sustained damage to in today's D2 boss field, but maybe a specialist pick
For “Abide the Return” the solar sword w/ incandescent, ignitions caused by the sword will proc tireless blade so you can sustain your ammo a long time if you’re able to ignition pop big groups. Pretty niche thing to do but I use it on the Titan exclusive sword now and again and it’s pretty fun
Yeah I remember people trying that on Throne-Cleaver
Thank you. I was waiting on your vid
There's so many primary weapons with Permeability + Golden Tricorn in separate columns. Very funky even though you lose out on a utility perk.
Yeah haha
Thanks for making the video and peeping all the comments man. Surprised that you didn't call out onslaught on the strand machine gun.
From what I’ve seen, Nano-munitions can stack up to *7 and it’s rewind rounds but it’ll put 25% back into your mag after you hit 0 in the mag. It takes about 10 seconds for one stack to add on from what I’ve seen on Adhortative
Not that it's immediately relevant to this PVE specialist channel, but the new comp pulse gets both Deconstruct AND Hakke origin trait, so probably really good anti-Titan anti-Stasis weapon in PVP.
and vorpal in the third column. those cabal ships wont know what hit em
Regarding Slice, one niche thing I've wondered about is the Seasonal Perk Torch; If you're radiant you deal additional weapon damage to severed target.
I don't think Slice will be good on Strand classes generally, which is ironic, but what I was wondering about was the potential for using one of the primaries as part of a BnS rotation on Striker, any hunter, or Solar Warlock. Especially Solar Hunter or Solar warlock feel like they have options for a quick class ability as well as good melees for proccing Radiant with.
I do personally feel it might be moreso cute than good, but Lethal Abundance/GL(?)/BnS Apex on a solar hunter (potentially with foetracer or radiant dance machine?) feels like it could be fun to try out.
Other than that, it could be cute on the Strand Fusion together with Rain of Fire, but personally I'd rather use a kinetic special or one of the ammo perks for a better damage build for the fusion.
All in all Slice feels niche but fun to mess around with.
Saddest thing about slice is that chill clip works with the artefact mod without needing your class ability and by now everyone should have a riptide laying around
I got the seasonal bow with Permeability + Golden Tricorne and I am absolutely obsessed with it. Having what is basically an infinite ammo sniper rifle nearly on demand no matter your subclass is hilarious.
The seasonal pulse & the Vex handcannon can also roll the same combo.
I’m gonna keep a roll of the competitive pulse with deconstruct, mostly for titan barricades but also for the cope that it’s going to useful in something really niche in the future for PvE. Like if wrath of machine gets reissued
Slickdraw and Quickdraw both have a .95 animation scalar.
Thanks for the correction, someone brought this up to me soon after this video went up :P
Feel like you’re underestimating Slice, for this season specifically. Lots of bonuses for solar damage supers this season, and the seasonal perk that goes smthn like “while radiant, do bonus damage to targets affected by strand or stasis debuff”. It’s a way to have a strand debuff in a solo or 3 man scenario without having a strand teammate. Of course, the question is “is it better than chill clip for this?” And I think 10 seconds of sever vs 4 seconds of slow speaks for itself.
I don't account for artifact when I analyze weapons, for that purpose it might be useful but I don't see why you wouldn't just use Nav
Dude, Undercurrent looks like everything I wanted out of Prodigal Return. Voltshot on a GL was already exciting for a build I like to use, but having it on a wave frame? Definitely gonna grind for that.
"Sorry for flashbanging you guys" as I violently recoiled like a gremlin from the flash.
For the stasis trace I would do demo and well spring. Being enhanced means even more energy back. On a osimio build you get non stop grenades even faster( was using a something new with this roll)
Me personally I'd do Demo Headstone especially on stasis subs
Swashbuckler subsistence energy slot smg. Ive been waiting for one of these for so long ever since the changed the moon one. I wanted to see it in momentum control with throwing hammers and its finally here.
Wat da
The DPS god has spoken
Slight correction; Abyss Defiant is a 360, not a 600 like Ros Arago - its only real competitors atm are Coronach-22 and Gnawing Hunger. I've played with it for a while and my first impressions on it are great. I suspect it'll find a home in many peoples' loadouts, and I know it's found one in mine.
Did I say it was a 600? I swear I called it a high impact
Incisor is phenomenal with Cenotaph, Slice and Killing Tally. Works well with double special including Indebted Kindness, but I know this video is old.
Gonna use the void sword with repulsor/surrounded on my gryfalcon build for some invis ninja fun
This seasons perks and traits seem pretty centered around The Coil activity, which, might be a hot take, but I find it to be an absolute blast.
the goat is back with an update letsgooo!!!
Voltshot only applies to the first enemy it hits afaik, so a wave should only apply 1 instance of Jolt per proc, which is fairly limiting. It could work different on a wave though and pop off, and even if it only tags 1 target it ain’t bad either.
chain has no class synergy and the content waves reliably kill red bars in one shot removes the point of needing chain reaction, I've gotten more utility/ad clear out of a Demo Pug New Pacific Epitaph than forbearance. It was nice when void was the only 3.0 subclass but we're long past the point and people just aren't realizing that.
@@cyclo_17 Chain Reaction kills ads outside of the inital wave. Seeing as Pacific doesn't have anything regarding ad clear I severely doubt. And in content where waveframes reliably kills, Jolt isn't that needed. Only thing Forb lacks is utility with subclass synergy which is right, but even then we have things to negate that
I will admit though that Undercurrent could replace it in higher end content where jolt is really beneficial
13:29 a certain sweaty guy is gonna have fun with this RL
i want to see that slideshot surrounded crux + 4th horseman at the top of the dps spreadsheet. Idc how impractical it is XD.
I think Doomed Petitioner's best general use for precision boss damage crafted roll will be Enhanced battery, Envious, and Precision Instrument. Fully overflowed is 15 rounds vs 12 with reconstruction.
Yeah definitely Envious but I can't see people picking it over Briar's or Cata in basically any instance
@@TheAegisRelic If Monochromatic Maestro were still around, I could see it being used by tether hunters. Starting with Izi shot, Wilderflight (which would also benefit from 3x void surge), then dumping Doomed. Sadly, you’re right and the solar options will just eclipse it regardless.
I’m going to get a rod arago with perm and onslaught. Pair it with ballidorse wrath weavers for triple stasis weapons and surge on rift cast.
so that exotic strand bow is craftable, probably from an exotic mission. Very exciting
Dismantled a clown/bipod crux roll earlier. I dont really expect to like it, but ill try it out if it drops again. Thanks for the vid
Not a huge loss but I'm glad you're looking out for it now :)
I got a subsistence + onslaught on Breakneck with Ricochet and Fluted with a stab MW and holy shit, it might be my main auto from now on. Theres no damage reduction from onslaught so the RPM increase is a direct DPS increase and with subsistence it can surprisingly keep going. In PvE with red bars I basically never reload. Its not great for harder content though, Id pick kinetic for that if anything. But PvP and general PvE Onslaught is absolutely the play.
So dragons breath catalyst doesn't effect how many stacks of fuel it gains with each ignite, but increases the passive charge of the fuel the weapon naturally has. Without the catalyst, each stack takes 6 seconds to gain, where as with the catalyst (i'd know, I played way to many strikes already this season) it's halved to 3s per stack. With how you're all but guarantied an ignite from the x5 shot, this means you only have to really wait for 2 stacks to build up before you fire. Without catalyst, that means you can cycle it every 12s(Technically a bit more from travel time, and its count starting sometime between first contact and first fuel eject), where as with the catalyst, that turns to 6s ~. Its 1000% a big difference, since that rocket easily fills up 6-7s worth of time in damage, but may not carry our all 12.
A few side points with this. I'm all but convinced its main rocket has an entity limit of 1, so if you fire another rocket, im pretty sure the first one disappears, even if it hasn't finished everything it'd do. More confidently, I can say its a weapon that is AMAZING in solo content, without needed ghorn proc for good damage, and not being bad like Ghorn. But in team setups, almost always wants to be a single use case on the fireteam, similar is effect and reason to witherhoard, and your tik and ignite damage gets eaten up by each other, tending to result in just less dmg. Finally, this thing makes mfing earthquakes, and can very often stagger bosses otherwise not being staggered by other rockets, see dmg testing with this against grasp ogre boss for example
So another Witherhoard situation with the Catalyst where it’s wanted if you’re doing swapping DPS.
the trace is absolutely incredible on osmeomancy warlock
I think you're underrating permeability. If they ever put it on a kinetic slot weapon you'll be able to use it with a gyrfalcon build while still having a void special and power weapon.
Problem is (for now) that perk is only on energy and heavy weapons 😅
Permeability unfortunately blocks the other column from getting any elemental keyword perks in the other column, so it hurts the normal viability of some of those weapons which then get pigeonholed into running Golden Tricorn with it. It does have a bit of playstyle flow to it with Perm + GT, though. Class ability -> Weapon Kill -> Ability Kill -> GTx2
I really don't understand why people value changing a weapon's affinity when affinity has had very little importance in the current sandbox and this consumes an entire perk that could be used for something else
Onslaught got it's nerf reverted, so it doesn't decrease damage per bullet as you ramp up the stacks. So a Breakneck at max stacks being 720RPM produces a 60% DPS increase. The question is does it increase RPM by 90RPM per stack or is it a 20% increase per stack, as this could make high impacts with it insane or everything is just balanced.
I would like to see the numbers on it yeah
High impact autos feel pretty good with the slight dps increase.
i’ve used the bow with deconstruct and after a couple hits it insta reloads like the arrow just appears
Aegis my king 👑
uniquely, riiswalker is the only special ammo gun in the game that can roll discord+harmony for a no backup plans build or something.
I suppose, I'm waiting for like a GL or something to get it :P
Nano munitions would have been good on a dps weapon but all the Undying weapons are primaries. So rip
I got a tracking/bipod sleepless and man it isnt top tier but im in love
I’ve been using slice for solo content to proc the artifact mod that gives a damage bonus while radiant to enemies affected by strand debuffs. Only really relevant for solo this season, but worth noting
I tend to not account for artifact mods when analyzing perks, but I did hear that that was an interaction worth looking into
Undercurrent: My problem is not Forbearance, but that we don't have a Subclass 3.0 Solar Wave frame since Explosive Personality released with mid perk options
Peep the classical music popping up mide twilight oath
👍
Would a slide shot rocket be good for solo content or are there generally better power weapons for that?
It's possible but without Pack it's a bit rough imo
Even though I’m 90% sure it won’t work on anything serious/high difficulty.
Adhortative having heal clip/incandescent might be fine as a “filthy casual” pve perk if you missed out on Jurassic green.
(Mostly because I just think the grungy overgrown look is rad as hell)
Regarding your comment that Bungie usually doesn't put really good weapons in the world drop pool - that definitely was true for a long time but lately they've been putting some really good stuff in there. Season of Defiance, we had Battle Scar (which was the only pulse at the time to get kinetic tremors) and harsh language. Last season, we had heliocentric, nox perennial, and psi hermetic. It's really annoying since there used to be no way to grind for world drop weapons. And even with the gunsmith and lost sector loot changes, we still can't grind for the brand new world drop weapons, which absolutely sucks.
the four guns with the wacky names are reprised season of the undying (season 8) weapons btw
Yeah appreciate the shout
The void 180 hc looks interesting with demo+tricorn
I'm not a huge fan of commit perks on primaries but if there had to be a primary type with it I'd pick HCs
It's purely for niche reasons, but I'd be interested to get an Optative with Permeability/Golden Tricorn. I'd have to test the combo myself but having an HC that you can run in any build on Hunter is rather nice, especially since Unstop HC is in the artifact this season. Assuming Tricorn still activates properly _after_ you change the burn, it'd essentially be able to fit in any mono-burn build which I genuinely appreciate. That said, this is an insanely niche and gimmicky reason but the fact that a weapon can even fill that slot is cool to me.
Now if only Bungie would give me back my damn Trophy Hunter back. Best damn legendary sniper ever released in all of D2. I adore it, I want it back, and they either need to bring it back or bring back If Materia.
Onslaught is back too on a few weapons and it slaps
Aegis showing his newlight thinking those undying weapons were new this season.
I'm just a lowly Y4 player...
My opinion on the meta has finally arrived
Babe wake up, Aegis just posted the new meta
Aegis Slick draw is better than quickdraw for pve. Quickdraw only effects draw speed, slick gives its handling to stow which is a big deal, it also has the same scalar as quickdraw AND applies to ADS speed.
So I've been told :P I'll be sure to make note of that, actually I'll make a pinned comment
Could you consider making a video talking about the different archetypes? At several points in this video, you mention "_ is a preferred Pulse Rifle archetype in PVE". I would really appreciate some guidance on certain weapon classes and what makes one archetype better than another in your view.
It's just DPS and a preference for lightweights (handling + move speed)
I feel that with the artifact perks this season, using dragons breath with ikelos SR or shotgun depending on range might be really good
I've been using it with ikelos shotty which is quite nice. Also been running it with an incandescent trace on stasis which is dope bc you can as clear and fuel the rocket
My suspicion is that, assuming Dragon's Breath takes a little bit of time to fuel back up, BnS Supremacy might finally have a niche in combination with it. At the very least it seems to do more damage than Anarchy, going by the testing here.
Rewind attrition orbs parabellum is an orb generation monster for anyone interested.
Double-Edged Answer can get En Garde in the left column, though, and it’s an Adaptive. Could that make it a good swap option a la Heartshadow?
I tried En Garde swapping it is so bad bro it has an ICD that is extremely annoying to deal with
@@TheAegisRelic Damn, RIP then. Of all the perks to have an icd on too, I swear.
Nice. I need to know which ones to bother with.
If nothing else, they certainly listened when people complained about season of the witch weapons being bad, we've got a lot of solid contenders and options this season.
thanks cutie ‼️
Im surprised you choose chattering bone with rapid hit kinetic over battlescar with shoot to loot kinetic.
I might revisit that when I make the primary video :P
The thing Hothead has that the new one doesn’t have is Adept Big Ones. Which if you have a focused group doesn’t matter. But for things like solo lost sectors, or Nightfall groups that are not coordinated with Gjally, Adept Big Ones is a huge upgrade because it combines major/boss spec which gives Hothead bonus damage against champs and bosses, instead only one or the other.
Adept Big Ones is rarely important imo but yeah true ig
@@TheAegisRelic I'd be willing to cough up to this being cope on my part lol! I have this Hothead with Tracking and Explosive Light and it's been my 'Old Reliable' for a couple years now lol.
Lethophobia has successful warm up (typically a fourth column perk) in the third column as the replacement to archer’s tempo
There are bows with AT + SWU though, tbh being a lightweight + no fundamental bow perks is kind of a miss imo
@@TheAegisRelic Yeah I have historically liked AT + SWU but since the bow will be so easy to craft I’m going to give SWU + Explosive Head a try. We have a whole half year season to kill so
Dragons breath + Dawn Chorus is apparently chunking (1 shot then pop dawnblade) but idk where this would rank on strategy’s though
Undercurrent definitely looks worth grinding
Hey aegis! Somethijg to consider, DB can reload on any ignition, not just its own, mayhe something there?
Yeah but there's still a rate limit and using something else to cause ignition likely lowers damage because ignition damage scales with source
Wonder how the void auto rifle will be with onslaught and volatile rounds getting max cooldown volatile explosions
Optative with the new version of osmosis could be a good start for radiant hunters in pvp, I know this is a pve focused vid but figured I’d mention this for anyone who doesn’t have a trust or frontiers cry
My first Crux got Slide, Surrounded with Quick Launch and Impact with Velocity MW and it is so much damn fun to dump ammo into bosses
Goated
After fighting for my life for forbearance through LFG. They just give away a great arc waveframe with Undercurrent 🥴🥴🥴
my suspicion is forbearance will be better in stuff like contest raids due to the origin trait, where undercurrent will be used more for arc synergies such as Electrostatic Mind
does the increased charge rate from the origin trait increase the rpm of the supercluster shotgun?
No, and the wording would have to be "fire rate" for that to be the case
Nano-munitions just looks like Runneth Over if it got drunk and woke up with a really bad hangover.
Yeah hahaha
The 600 void auto is sooo good. Also Abyss Defiant is nice but 360s still feel bad to use especially in more endgame content compared to faster ROF weapons
For sure, I wish Abyss was a different archetype
Quickdraw frenzy is basically instant stow and ready
Do you think the new Linear can surpass Cataclysmic or is it just a pipe dream? Enhanced Precision is a 30% damage buff, which is nearly similar to Bait and Switch while having way less setup and since it’s an Agg frame, it does more damage than Precision linears. This is all just conjecture though, I’m not really sure
Absolutely not (without Dragon's Vengeance working)
I have a feeling dragons breath is going to pair great with the new warlock super.
What new warlock super? Might've missed it
@@agiraffe2999dropping with final shape, so 6 months from now
