    Ever since they released the previews for The Final Shape the new Hunter Aspect Ascension really caught my eye and from then on I knew I wanted to make a build focused on it, which brings us to today's video! I went through lots of testing on Prismatic but eventually Settled on Arc Hunter since I believe it complements the playstyle far better than Prismatic ever could. The core of the build revolves around the neat interaction between the Arc Aspect Flow State and of course, Ascension. Ascension makes you Amplified, which with Flow State accelerates your class ability regeneration rate by 200% (or 3x) while Amplified, which results in you being able to spam the ability almost back-to-back also with the addition of a few important mods. Gifted Conviction is our choice of Exotic since it will make our Ascension spawn mini detonators that also Jolt but more importantly, any source of Jolt we apply will buff us with stacks of Resist, which at the maximum of x4 we get a 50% global Damage Reduction from all sources. This combined with our choices of Artifact perks and more makes for quite a potent and fun build, not to mention we still get to take advantage of Still Hunt to output competitive DPS. Anyway, please enjoy the build and let me know what you think of it!

    Fun fact: you can use Ascension while in the arc staff super. Pretty cool. In the D2 beta you used to be able to do a helicopter move like that in the super but they removed it in the full game so it’s cool to basically see it back but better :)

    I highly recommend using an Arc Ergo Sum, here's why:
    - Stormbringer procs on Ascension kills just for holding the Ergo Sum Sword (it's amazing for ad clear);
    - Arc Conductor gives you even more Damage Resistance against Arc Damage;
    - Wolfpack Rounds are just more free damage for your Heavy Sword;

    • @okiii.
      @okiii. 22 дня назад +22

      with spark of beacons fragment, the arc conductor kills count as arc special weapon final blows, so you trigger a ton of explosions on top of chain lighting, super fun ! and with 3 arc armor mods, you can generate hundreds of orbs

    What makes Ascension pretty potent is how it applies jolt to every target in it's cast radius instead of just one. Sure, one enemy with jolt does okay-ish damage in higher level content, but 6-7 enemies all jolted together, proccing off of each other? The damage really ramps up.

Also in prismatic with the winter shroud aspect, if you throw the withering blades and apply chill that way im pretty sure it provides the huge class regen from the aspect.

    This build reminds me of the niche build that I thankfully was able to get going with Prismatic hunter that I've really been liking a lot using the new class item. I might not be able to get any of the super nukular punch variants, but what I HAVE been able to get was Inmost Light + Charachne.
    Woven Mail on every single grenade toss, combined with Purpose + Silence and Squall for frost armor on orb pick up, with grapple + Threaded Spike so you can make tangles with the spike/drastically weaken enemies damage output, then 3 heavy handeds for constant orb generation on kill using recuperation for health regen. The DR even transfers into transcendence since the woven mail on grenade throw works with ANY grenade, allowing you throw out your needle, get a kill to spawn a tangle, fly in and smack a bi$%&, get more unravel kills, twirl into the air with Ascension to jolt everything around you, before re-grappling the tangle and continuing to grapple punch everything in the room with infinite DR. You get massive ability regen from inmost light x2 regen constantly being proced from your punch/grenade (the threaded spike procs it on every enemy it hits, and grapple melee just procs it a bunch too) making you able to twirl constantly, grapple melee even if your tangle gets blown up/you want to throw it at people and grapple to it, and the return on the spike + the regen makes that infinite too.
    Will you do the most damage ever? no. Will you be basically immortal with every single DR effect in the game and have a massive fun time ability spamming the room and winning the battle of attrition? YEeesssss. (also run this with stylish to be able to drop off the map if things somehow get TO hectic, and to make the DR that much more potent as you only get shot every so often instead of all the time. Also nice to have weaken access too).
    Ohh, and almost forgot, Awakening gives you ionic traces on arc multikills (which ascension provides quite readily with jolt), and does it on a pretty low cooldown (like 3-4 seconds), which helps the ability spam that much more while being a +10 to resilience on top of it. Arc Conductor Wave Frame Ergo Sum helps with this too (especially with the transcendence damage bonus). And you still get Facet of Protection for that nice small additional bump while surrounded to. *you just get it all*.

  • @yourbrojohno

    This is definitely dope, although I feel like there has to be a way to make it work on Prismatic too. The lack of Amplified/Facet of Hope synergy is a pain point but maybe you can work around it by using Silkstrike to have orbs grant Woven Mail instead? It'd be another big DR boost, though you'd need to keep making orbs to keep it up. EDIT: Apparently if you run Silence and Squall and get Frost Armor from orbs it lasts 10 seconds instead of 5 seconds which is pretty good. Just need to grab an orb every 10 seconds to keep the dodge regen uptime going

    Main focus is keeping moderate distance since you need to be somewhat nearby for Jolt to proc. The build is still CQC but not melee focused like other builds, but Flow State is a good alternative if you don’t like Tempest Strike. I just like having a build that actually warrants its use.

    I've been using this build ever since I've gotten the exotic, and I'll say that you can improve the build by equipping marksman dodge because it recharges your class ability faster. Also, you could use disorienting blow to blind enemies since you don't need to use your melee.
