@@TheAegisRelicvideos like these are unbelievably helpful for overcoming and seeing through what’s popular. The amount of linears or thunderlords seen outside of my particular raid team is frustrating and your videos make riding the top of damage and sometimes overcoming their loss significantly easier
God damn, editing this must've taken forever. Thank you for taking the countless hours needed to make this video as good as it is. Having example clips of everything you're talking about, plus thumbnails for weapons, mods, supers, and other editing things makes this so digestible even given how long and dense it is.
Its hard to find videos with this much useful information after so many years in this game. As a veteran, I can say that this video is a must for everyone. Keep up with the great work, god bless.
I really just sat through a 55 minute video about optimisation that is unlikely i'll ever use, with some exceptions (woooo into the light) in one sitting But in all seriousness, this is a pretty good compendium on optimal damage which i can easily link to newer players. Thanks for putting in the time and effort
Well done! I was thinking it might be interesting to do a guide for solo-specific damage rotations, stuff like: “only x subclass can weaken which limits them from using y” and putting all factors together
Bro you've helped skyrocket my damage so hard. I ran the star eaters/RDMs loadout with apex and got 5.5 mil in 2 damage phases with rhulk, and we didnt have gjally. Shit blew my mind. Did like half the guy's health alone in 2 phases with no gjally nor damage buff like radiant. I can only imagine how easy a one phase rhulk is if everyone was effecient
I hope this guide stays relevant for awhile! All it takes is a new dps Mets next season. I’ll be sure to give this a full watch later to see if there’s anything I don’t know
CLARIFICATIONS / CORRECTIONS: - For Kell Echo, there are no nearby enemies to proc RDMs off if you're Gjally doing damage from teleport, so use Sixth if you want to swap off SES instead. - Sunbracers and Dimensional no longer work on Riven effectively post-projectile bounce change; Surrounded Apex Predator under her chin is used instead. - The GotD bosses have less aggressive movement as a result of breaking their shields quickly, not because of Deadfall.
This video is such high quality. Not only is the content great, but the presentation is awesome too. I'm curious what editing software you utilize. Whatever it is, you're making great use of it :)
Time to require all of these in lfg’s expecting people to actually get them to work, wipe for damage when the boss is at 1% health on every boss, kicking the person with the least damage, and still never one phasing because it’s lfg and people can’t even left click properly. -The entire destiny community after this video……. SOMEHOW
I’ve been following this series since it started, I’m so grateful that RUclips recommended this to me! I have one question though. It’s only something small, but you mentioned for the harpy boss in GoS that it moves after projectiles and supers. Doing the raid a lot I’ve noticed that when I thundercrash or a few of us thundercrash at the same time, it really makes the boss go crazy. I wasn’t sure if maybe this was coincidence with other things being used at the same time or that thunder crash is also an inefficient super to use? Thank you!
aegis are you planning on doing a "day 1 damage" video or something like it? I think alot of us could use that information going into the reprised raid September 1st. there's a few dmg options I see here that aren't as applicable in a contest setting! thank you for these videos.
Atraks fr is the easiest raid boss to take down. From my experience with 3-manning dsc, all it takes is 2 cuirass titans and up to 3 max stack parasites to get Atraks down to final stand (with surges only, no raid mods). That info was very useful for farming the heritage and succession when we didn't want to lfg.
Have you ever tried HHSN with contraverse hold for verity's. I don't know if it is enough damage as I can't really test it but it could be useful in encounters with more warlocks and limited ads. Charge, release, quickly throw a magnetic grenade, shoot rocket (demolitionist), reload (or not if 2 in magazine), shoot another rocket, Charge; is an ok rotation. You may not fire a second rocket in favour of a swap combo. Applies to scatter grenades obviously as well but they might not do as much. Also leaves room for a Nova bomb and a budget debug option with echo of undermining. Great guide btw. I'll take a look at this when I need to know what is the best to do.
As one of my recent LFG’s once said “the average destiny player is absolutely horrible at the game” and unfortunately i tend to agree, however, hopefully this video can give some of the non-thinkers a bit of a nudge towards “hey, maybe dont use tractor cannon if you’re just going to mag dump tractor cannon for damage”
Finally my opinion on optimal raid and dungeon damage has arrived. Now if only i could lear all of the skips required to be 100% optimal. And stop messing up my controller well skates 🤣
Im trying to wrap my head around all this info. Thank you for the time it took to make it all. Question though, did i miss somewhere where the weapon rolls thesr ideal damage rotations are mentioned? Like last video was on perfect damage, but maybe i missed it, i wasnt clear what rolls exactly were being used. If this was stated would someone please direct me to which video? Thanks!
@@TheAegisRelic i know you have other things to do than answer youtube comments lol. Thank you!! This spreadsheet is absolutley fantastic and i think im going back to previous videos with it like a study aid. You have put together a masterpiece in this series. If i may ask one more question to make sure im reading the sheet correctly.... optimum stat rolls would be listed from top to bottom, ie Acasias Dejection, its prefereable to have reconstruction frenzy, over reconstruction target lock. And if this is what you're talking about when you mentioned explaining spreadsheets in yiur next video i can wait till then too. Thank you for the response, the videos and especially the time.
@@SentientMattress531 i know these are things that are working well, but im not sure if any of these are optimal kill strats. I can’t imagine that speed runners are going to bake Ir Yut with Levis or Sleeper. I feel like rockets may be the move for an Ir Yut quick bake, while Crota seems to have a melee or sword multiplier for damage so swords or melee builds may be the best as you’ve suggested.
@@mindwalker5893 I know, but you know how most groups are with rockets. I’m not saying they’re bad though, but if your group can consistently 1-phase Ir Yut with Leviathan’s Breath than i’d personally use it over rockets
Great video! However, I’m curious, at 29:40 you say that 6 warlocks are required for the skip, but Hunters are also able to make it over using a shatterskate and swapping to blink midway, how come they are not used?
I have new pc 13900k and Rtx 4090, issue is gameplay looks choppy like there is jiggly corners when moving my mouse left and right. you can see it clearly on trees and buildings. Anyone experience same problem please Help me?
i swear if these so called speedrunners would get over their preconceptions about tlord they would clear the 1 plate explicator and reclear the one floor ct
I mainly do solo stuff, and survivability is the biggest thing for me. I really cant understand how people survive so well in even scaled content while trying to full focus on rotations to get the most out of a solo damage phase. For example on Ogre in grasp of avarice on normal. I cant focus on swapping on arc titan, while the scortch canon guy and his buddies shoot at me, also not mentioning the boss with his void orbs, but i can hid from those for the most part. Even then though the fallen throw their shock sticks and kill me. My gear isnt helping either if im running a feild prep hothead its just another thing to think about. Any tips?
For solo content in particular if you are focused on consistency using something like Sunbreaker instead of Striker might net you better results, plus the constant Radiant uptime is a nice plus when it comes to damage

I don't even have friends to do raids anymore they all left the game but I still somehow sit through the whole hour watching this
Well, considering I just today found your previous video and was starting to put together damage rotation builds for certain bosses... HELL YEAH
i feel like this is the destiny 2 video of all time
You should do a video on speed run strategies for every encounter. (Excluding the ridiculous out of the map stuff)
It's in the works
