I actually unironically LOVED the Stag during GMs with old bottom tree arc warlock. 20% damage resist, stackable with good old Protective light, that will never be beaten.
Run the stag no ornament with the starter robes, just a wendigo fresh from the grave
Do Exotic weapons next
How about a video on "What your favorit gamemode saids about you?" You can have one of each gamemode in PvP or have an indepth one on the different stikes in pve (same for gambit) 🤔
next video could be: What your most used weapon (presumably exotic) says about you
Thank god you didn’t insult nezerac sin mains
The who?
All the 14 ones?
they deserve it for non-stop stanning it even though contraverse looks and is better
Nezarecs will always be in my top 3 warlock exotics
@@elchoronano Listen, we exist....
Maybe as a suggestion for this series could be exotic weapons with each video being a different slot? Btw, love the vids man keep up the fantastic work.
This was what I was going to suggest as well.
I second this! =o
@@spectralcanvasimages I third this :>
My thoughts as well
I agree
The only use I’ve seen of the Sanguine Alchemy, is when one player discovered they could use it with Touch of Malice to continually regenerate health while firing the Blight shot. So they could shoot it repeatedly while surviving, to subvert the drawback that eats away at your health.
Shouting BIG BANG ATTACK while tossing a nova bomb is HILARIOUS
Apotheosis Veil has one good use: It turns every Super into a Panic Super, and is a good "swap exotic" in Trials because of it. You want to use your super at the best time, but when you're getting focused and it's 3-4, this lets you pop it and clutch instead of activating your super at half-health and getting mowed down.
Not gonna lie. I used Veil along with Red Death in D1 in the early days of Crota to cheese the health mechanic.
@@ReaverPrime That's so smart how did I never think of that?
I’m willing to be money, that no one in Trails actually swaps to it. Shame too, that exotic looks great
@@spacewizardpip1111 i always thought it looks like a fish tank
ok
Hey Fallout, I am among the 20 Nothing Manacle enjoyers, I enjoy build crafting with them & having 3 aspects running at the same time. I have created a perfect build without needing to rely on Nezarec’s Sin, to build void ability spam. I am powered by the void scatter grenade & am proud of the monster I have fed & grown.
Can't believe he knew about the donkey, though. I don't know if we can let him get away with this.
Can I ask what your build is? I love scatter nades but always seem to run into trouble with nothing manacles due to them kinda tracking into each other.
I too am a part of the 20. I use them because I get two grenades.
@@Zevox144 He made fun of our donkey he will not be forgiven
@@yarginshnarg Maybe a silly question, but you don't have Chaos Accelerant equipped, right? Because not only is it redundant, but I've noticed it seems to be partly responsible for the scatter nade self-tracking. Maybe not fully, but definitely a little.
Sanguine Alchemy was actually my favorite exotic in the game before it got reworked. It used to let you see all enemies through walls while standing in your rift and was amazing for holding down points and giving you the upper hand in PvP. Still niche but it actually had a use that could be utilized to win fights unlike how it is now. I still remember logging in and that feeling of dread when I noticed that they butchered my baby for seemingly no reason
It gave you wallhacks? I genuinely don't remember that.
@@SirBeast1992 Back when D2 launched it was a much slower paced game that relied on teamshotting and team fighting to win. That and Trials, back then called Trials of the Nine, had a different style of play. It wasn't like how Trials of Osiris is. Sanguine Alchemy was meta because it gave an undeniable advantage over the team not using them. And Sanguine stayed that way through Shadowkeep, iirc. It's mostly remembered during year 1 PvP, but it had a slight resurgence with Le Monarque since Empowering Rift makes Monarque OHK with a crit. That and Sanguine applied in Well of Radiance as well, iirc.
I feel for you because there was so many warlocks who mained that exotic they all were quoting that one scene from godfather: LOOK WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO MY BOY...!! Once the Nerf was put in
And now it got another rework making it great again, it gives a damage buff now
@@SirBeast1992 It marked all enemies in a radius with the same marker that tether uses, so not quite wall hacks but it gave you enough information to know where everyone within a few meters was, if they were rushing, etc. Kinda useless in PvE but amazing in PvP if you played around your rift.
As one of those Geomag players. I do miss how good Chaos Reach and Geomags used to be, it was warranted though because if you remember it was the same time that Shatterdive Hunters were menacing the crucible and someone needed to stand up to them and blast them back into their pit with a big blue meme beam.
I never ended up using them competitively, but they’re glued to my feet due to being the only thing that directly improves my Blue Beam of Doom(tm).
They were op before that for quite a while too. I never hated anything more then that exotic tbh
I remember them being really good before Deep Stone was released. Before it was cool to use them. I was one of those guys vouching for it. I went into a day one raid stream and the guy was needing last minute damage for Taniks and I recommended chaos reach because it was high damage and quick to get. He laughed at me and said that it isn’t good…
In case you're wondering what the transversive steps secrete is: as long as you sprint for a second, then blink, you'll leave blink with a full magazine. The whole blink animation counts as sprinting, similar to how you can proc the reload while floating, if you were sprinting before you jumped.
Fallout: "What secrets do you hold in that enigmatic mind of yours?"
Transversive step mains: "I don't feel like reloading, and these boots give me three ways to not have to."
I mean, sprinting faster and not having to reload is good in a lot of situations - speedrunning story missions, most Playlist activities, Rift...
That so?? Hmmm I guess it's good for gun builds. But I'm an ability guy. (warlock main).
But I am always finding myself reloading and taking fire.
Maybe if I combine steps with Chosen it would be a good matchup. Bc I get the instant reload. The speed and I can recharge whenever I want to.
Sounds almost too perfect.... Gonna have to experiment.
I'm the guy that the combo of the goofy Sweet Business main running Transverse Steps. Pop heat rises and it's AC130 in theater
You could always do exotics, but I think it would be interesting to go by different legendary weapon archetypes too, like what your handcannon says about you, including most of the good choices available in the game right now. This way also gives the series a longer projected lifetime than limiting it to exotics
I agree, that’s most likely the best way to do so.
But please, still do exotics. Because I need that.
Wild love that. Wanna what Better Devils would mean lol
As a Void Spamming Nezerac's sin lover
1000% accurate
The only thing missing was spamming grenades like no tomorrow because you can make EVERYTHING explode with void
And how glorious it truly is to behold.
A wave of enemies, reduced to voidlight, with a single vortex grenade
"Claws of Ahamkara"
It didn't matter if i was grinding out gambit or strikes or just messing around in the PVE open world
How many fireballs do you want to throw while using Forerunner or Tommy's Matchbook even if your build is overall, shit?
Y E S.
I wear the Stag exclusively, and the sole reason is because it pairs nicely with the rest of the Blood Lineage set for those sweet goth fashion vibes I'm looking for. The healing perks are just a nice bonus lol
For those who aren’t a fan of the toe boots, you should know that Promethium spurs actually spawn a double rift on any kill. The solar weapon is optional and only gives you a little extra rift energy.
fallout literally just said u aren’t gonna be able to persuade people to use it then u immediately try to lol
@@nickcorsones3463 I mean, coolguy didn't m e n t i o n that it spawns double rift. It really is a decent exotic, especially in 6s. The soal weapon boosts rift seed is pretty good if you can't spend the tiers to have max recovery, because as you're bouncing between rifts you already are getting constant regen.
@@nickcorsones3463 What I'm saying is: c o n v e r r r t t t t
@@nickcorsones3463 stay strong brother and let these two keep their cult to themselves.
I like promethium, they aren’t end game viable IMO but they are fun, I like using them for rifts so I can run still run Phoenix dive 😂😅
I also love using Necrotics with Osteo. Using the two together allows the poison clouds from Osteo kills to keep chaining instead of just having one come out.
I am flabbergasted that he mentioned thorn instead of osteo striga,
Cool I’m not the only one that thought of that also use Glaives with it
Yeah Osteo Gang here too
@@collinfrye9555 just hopped on an arc glaive the other day w necrotic, endless poison melee is a great backup!
Yes i use Necrotic Grip and Osteo...........and yes i am decked out in toxic green. LOL
As someone who rocks the sunbracers 90% of the time I can say you definitely nailed this.
Used contraverse in pvp back when supernova was busted, but lately I've been using it in pve as a crazy grenade build with vortex nades. Contestant healing, constant grenade. Constant void explosions. It's wonderful.
I'm surprised Fallout didn't mention Contraverse's dominance in PVE. It's been the best Warlock exotic for void since Witch Queen dropped with Void 3.0. Most people (if not all) who main contraverse now are using it in PVE for Grenade spam Vortex nades.
@@apachers2807Exactly. Used a contraverse build through this entire year. Every master raid, every GM, I feel at this point it’s surely the defining playstyle of the gloves lol
@@haydenmartin395 Since before 3.0 i have always been a contraverse gamer. If you learn all the spawns for a raid (including during day 1) and for GMs its easy to get double the amount of kills than the second player. Only sad thing is when the team lacks any other warlocks so you HAVE to go well+lunas
While some of these felt wildly off for me personally, the Sunbracers one was very much still accurate. I will say, I haven't seen a single person using Contraverse Hold that's also using the new variant of Handheld Supernova. Nowadays it's for nearly infinite uptime on Vortex nades, which is hella effective in PvE (as most Warlock builds are)
Same, as a warlock main since D1 launch I felt most of these missed the mark entirely. Can definitely tell he doesn't play warlock often. Sad, I was looking forward to this one
I'm surprised that for Rain of Fire, you didn't say "If you're a PvP main, chances are your Exotic is Mytho and you love terrifying lobbies with your mid-range melt machine"
Nah, FL is where its at
Didn't mention Fighting Lion either. :(
Fr though the 32% damage boost is terrifying, in a well of radiance it does over 50 on a headshot, at 390rpm!! 😰
Last Word + a Dis. Break GL with the Rain is an underspoken monster combo
100%
Eye of Another World is a pretty nasty PvP choice with Shadebinder, Aspect of Destruction & Frostpulse. It's most definitely a rather simple build but the additional AE, constant freezes from all of your abilities and highlighting invis-hunters when they are low HP or have a super is a really fun combo. Pairing it with Traveller's Chosen might also make you an ability spam machine but I don't know it yet.
You really came for me with my Felwinters...and you are right I have a uniquely tailored finisher build that got better with arc 3.0 and I am proud of it. My friends beg me to use meta exotics but I'm too busy styling on enemies in my casual PvE content
They can't hit what they can't see!
Can't say I appreciate the characterization of me as an Ophidian Aspect main. I'm a PvE player and I hate reloading. I use those snakes because it's a nice subclass-neutral exotic that just makes my character better on a fundamental level, regardless of what weapons I'm using. I use Eye of Another World for the same reason, but when I want to focus on abilities more than gunplay.
you and me both. I thought i was the only one who enjoyed the *ALWAYS ON* Mentality of fast reload, extra handleing, and melee Lunge. just nice to have and help horrid reloads. eye of another world is another great one.
Finally someone says it. I can't stand slow reloads thanks to having played Warframe before I became a Destiny 2 player. It took me MONTHS to finally put those gloves down for other exotics. But yeah I get it. Its 'meta' now. But I can say I just used it since I hate slow reloads.
Ophidian is my default exotic when im not doing too difficult content and just want quick reloads etc. It feels like the warlocks stompees besides transversive of course
I understand that it’s probably gonna be nerfed because Bungie looks at usage rates of exotics when they want to nerf something, but it’s really not that unbalanced when compared to other exotics. At most they should remove the melee lung range boost.
@@Seven-LightsHuh?
Faster reload on any and all weapons? Check.
Crazy melee lunge and registrations? Check.
Crazy high handling on any weapon you want to choose? Check.
Adds airborne effectiveness by DEFAULT? Check.
You need to get back on the chair, because you’re off your rocker.
i feel you made one slight error. Necrotic grip with the osteo is soo much more toxic then thorn.
This series was hilarious and i fully enjoyed it. thank you. I guess and new video idea might be trying to come up with what exotics will work well with strand.
As someone who switched between the sunbracers and Phoenix protocol my entire life, you hit the nail on the head
I have addendums for Lunafaction and Ophidian:
Lunafaction: You might also be a D2 veteran who remembers the wacky things people did back in years 1 through 3 like infinite heavy ammo glitches and 1-phasing Callus in Leviathan.
Ophidian: You run this to remember the days of never needing to reload during raids because of Lunafaction. But since that's never coming back, at least Ophidian is always there to bring back memories of things like 6 Rat Kings being weirdly viable for a short time.
Don't sleep on The Stag in PvE, the damage reduction in rifts and well can be an absolute lifesaver in high end content like GM nightfalls. Also constantly getting your rift back on losing your shields makes it a great panic button in said content.
lol i just got the stag from doing the public event on the moon
Big facts the stag is really good and comes in such clutch during nightfalls or any pve content really
Stag is my go to for any high end content like gm's and flawless if im not running something specific, didnt event know people used them in pvp
As a Warlock main since D1, i must say the Sunbracers breakdown was spot on. Used it in D1 still use it in D2, and people aren't just sleeping on solar grenades, they're sleeping IN THEM because i've got so many kills that make no sense due to people just thinking they'll run through the grenade with no issue.
i can go through 5 straight strikes without using a gun once, momentum transfer OP lol.
I have been using it since day 1 as well, first exotic I got too. People in PvP never expect the power of the sun to last so long; fools.
Build into melee, add cool down from the new 3.0 aspects and stuff... She's a bad mama jama.
@@SuperRONDALE I use the ember of ashes for the aspect because it actually stacks with that duration making it 3x longer than the defauly
Awesome
Necrotic grips can stand on their own without needing a weapon of sorrow, though Thorn + Grips is fantastic. The spreading poison from the melee is incredibly strong, with each tick dealing more damage, and considering the high AoE of pretty much every warlock melee, you can spread it very easily.
Stag main here. Just wanted to say that void child is also a valid pick, and that not using an ornament is an option if you want a druid or cultist outfit
Pretty much on point with every one of those but one: Mantle in PVE with Ager's scepter is an absolute MACHINE.
What can I say I was late to this one but I always love when you make videos like this!
4:59 Yes, thank you for the heads up. Totally forgot.
Former Prometheum Spur Main here: It got Shadow Nerfed at the beginning of last Season; during Season of the Haunted, it functioned with Phoenix Dive which gave it some pretty fun and engaging PvE utility. Unfortunately, Bungo decided that instead of changing the wording of the Exotic, they gave it the Sanguine Alchemy treatment even though hardly anyone knew it would trigger with Phoenix Dive.
It also will stop triggering and won't proc after a certain amount of time
Fun and engaging utility? Can you elaborate? I don't see how it taking your Phoenix Dive energy to make a rift would be functionally any diffrent then when you're running healing or empowering rift.
@@Baldeaglefacts it gives you the ability to have either a rift's prolonged healing/damage buff, or you can have the burst healing from phoenix dive
@@Baldeaglefacts So, the way I was using it in conjunction with Phoenix Dive allowed me the choice in PvE to either produce a Burst Healing AOE with Phoenix Dive, or kill an enemy near an ally, or at a more tactically advantageous position to get a Dual Rift. It definitely was a learning curve to figure out how get into a good combat flow. So, instead of choosing Healing, or Empowering, or Phoenix, I was given the opportunity to choose which one was best suited from moment to moment. The full build I had created included Forerunner, Healing Grenade, and a Glaive, which also allowed me to choose between the two Grenades depending on the situation, and gave me an option for Damage Resist in the Glaive Shield, if I found myself in a sticky (pun intended) situation. Does that answer your question? I'll admit, it is kind of hard to explain in a simple YT comment instead of a fully fleshed-out Build Vid....
10:30 Necrotic grips used to kill guardians under 90 resilience in PvP if you used the dearly departed Atomic Breach melee. It also killed guardians under 60 res with the old bottom tree solar melee. RIP Warlock melees
Used to main them specifically doing this. Felt great booping people away to their death
Yup now warlock melees are trash
@@gokuguy29 yep, and yet people still cry about ophidians. When all they do is buff handling, reload, and melee distance. Meanwhile, there's exotics that let you shoot through barricades, kill entire teams with 1 melee, see through walls, have a 40 second art staff that's near invincible, have 180 damage trip mines that take a mag dump to destroy and refund grenade energy, etc.
@@theasiancow1860 Exactly this is my main gripe with the d2 fanbase. They say "it will never be balanced" and "bungie wants it this way"
Well your player base is declining, across every platform. NO ONE wants cheese shit like that.
Warlocks get the short end of the stick with cheese however so it makes them feel SO bad compared to an arc titan that gets 6.5 meters from BEING AN ARC TITAN.
I hear ya brother, shit is frustrating.
@@theasiancow1860 yessir and then they complain about the usage rate of OPA when it's 1/2 viable warlock pvp exotics for trials
I used to wear the Sanguine Alchemy for the perk back when I was running the campaigns solo. I could pop my healing rift and start sniping with my bow without ever worrying about death, even on Legend difficulty. Usually, either the whole encounter would be dead or I would have another rift ready by the time I ran out of my first rift due to the perk.
Transversive Steps main here. The description you gave is pretty accurate. Been using them for so long and other exotics are just boring, don’t do anything useful in the slightest, or situational so I figure the extra mobility and zero need to reload guns ever is good enough for me for the whole game
Im in the exact same boat, not having them on just feels weird and leaves me running in circles trying to reload but getting nowhere
Ophidians are just better in this meta and have been for a while now
Transversives have nothing to do with the meta, people use them for the feel of them more than anything, and besides getting an instant reload on a machine gun is much better than having to reload it with a buff to reload speed
@@profoakton maybe better for pve on this sandbox yea but the handling is so bad on most aggressives you longs need that ophid boost to compete in high level pvp
TS + Sweet Business was a fun combo IMO, pretty much circumvents its big reload time
Karnstein main here checking in, and I'd say the reason I never really ever check out other exotics is the durability that it grants. I've had *many* a time where I was getting swarmed, and just punched my way out of it. Especially now that it works with glaive melee. And also how you *do* get heals from kills with the melee projectiles. Being in trouble, and then just tossing out a wave of solar melee blasts and whoop health's full is quite fun.
Going from Hunter to Warlock… the only thing that’s made it bearable has been Ophidian Aspect. Can’t imagine not using it as a Warlock.
Exactly. It’s literally been the same this whole time besides the addition of ae to all weapons, so I don’t get why it has to get nerfed
@fallout anxiously watched this to see what you would say about Nothing Manicles and wasn't disappointed. They were underrated in D1 and with extended devour, wells and witherhoard, they're still my go-to for solo flawless and any endgame ad control scenario
Ophidian Aspect player here, never thought a Pluperfect + Telesto combo would be meta, but thanks for enlightening me
The worst part about warlock exotics is, they always get nerfed because Warlocks aren't allowed to be good in pvp. You mentioned geomags already, but Sanguine Alchemy used to let you see through walls while standing in rifts. Lunafactions used to make it so you instantly took ammo from reserves and never had to reload in the first place. Contraverse and Nova Warp got nerfed together.
And now the other two classes took what made us special in the 3.0 reworks.
Man thats more than "good in PvP", thats just broken.
if you need an exotic to be good as a warlock you're just dogshit lol, playing on warlock is playing on easy mode.
10:07 you forgot Osteo Striga … that’s got to be more common than using it with Thorn these days.
as a semi-casual player, getting my necrotic grips from a legend lost sector was one of the most challenging things I've committed to and I'm never taking them off
One thing you forgot to metion with Sunbracers. The "you have thrown so many grenades you forgot what weapons you have on or what they do". I would love to see some what your favorite legendary heavy says about you.
DAD GET IN HERE FALLOUT IS GOING TO DEFINE MY LIFE BASED ON MY EXOTIC IS
I dunno what video to do next, but this was great!😂
As a transversive steps main, my story goes a little more “you’re good at pve, so good that when you sunbracers your team can’t see, and starfire isn’t necessary in anything but big damage boss encounters and grandmaster nightfalls. So you play transversive steps as a fun way to enjoy gunplay and it makes a fun strand build so you never have to reload your machine gun” oh and “WELLSKATE”
Necrotic grip + osteo striga = life
Bonus points when paired with devour to become unkillable
Winter's Guile note: You can regain 100% of your melee using heat rises, cwl, and wells (I can detail the build if anyone's interested), meaning you can spam your melee for add clear, which of course gets the buff from the gauntlets. With incinerator snap, you can cause an ignition if all 5 projectiles are aimed correctly and connect on a single target. Ignitions inherit damage multipliers from their source. Incredibly hard to pull off, but this deals damage similar to the wormgod shoulder charge. Needless to say, add clearing using the snap method isn't only sustainable infinitely, but it also 1shots almost every major in the game.
Getaway Artist note: It now also gives free Amplified on demand, which is great in pvp.
I don't recall if this has already happened or is happening soon, but their perk got nerfed in exchange for the fact that it can now trigger off glaive melee kills. so that's pretty cool.
@@PhoenicopterusR Still, it should be enough to clear even the fattest of adds
Your videos regularly make me straight up cackle. Well done
You nailed me on Karnstein, Simple yet effective
Wasn't expecting much from the Ophidian Aspect part. But now I feel incredibly attacked 🤣
Yeah, he went a little hard... my feelings are hurt too.
It is literally just a very good exotic. I call or a healthy exotic it promotes gun play. (Melee is very good but we got arc titan no reason to nerf ophidians before arc titans)
Just a bunch of hunters hating on lack of melee range again. Warlocks compared to the other two classes are severely limited on what exotics are good for high level play. Would love to see Bungie buff and/or rework some exotics that are barely used
@@jfreece5740 hunter that so into void 3.0 and forgot about arc hunter 150 damage 6.5 meter melee rang and health of melee kill also blinds them
@@funnystranger3380 and these players are going buckwild over a slight melee range and weapon reload/handling exotic? The other 2 classes have that intrinsically in some of their subclass kits
@jfreece5740 dude, don't offend them, titan don't know they have the hardest hitting longest melee that can literally one tap. They don't know that.
Lol, ophidians are very good, broken no.
People just don't realize what other classes have, like hunters have reload on evade, knock them down for max handling, yes you need to activate knock it down but it increases so much more then ophidians anyways.
Solar hunters have instant reloads, have access to a perk what easy to activate, and what add meny meny befits, better benefits then ophidians.
Ophidians aa pointless 10 aa does nothing 30 reload mah no onw will care if relaod and aa boost just vanish because that so pointless. 30 handling nice, melee nice. But 30 handling is about 110ms swap speed if I remember right, how often does that help out in a game. How often will 110 ms save you? The melee 6.5 meters doesn't do more damage, not even tied with the longest melee rang. Doesn't heal of kill.
I was a stag main for the pure survivability, but man, when Rain of Fire came out… really made me addicted to Icarus dashing everywhere just flying around
Really hope strand can take me away from pulling out a funny purple sword + funny button combo to go flying Mach 5
As a Contraverse Hold main, I just love the overall item. The gernade recharge is amazing, the damage reduction when charging is a lifesaver at times, and the look of that purple energy on my wrist never gets old
Karnstien and Winter’s Guile are actually pretty good with stasis. Chain a bunch of melee kills, and then freeze a yellow bar or boss to kill ‘em’ in one hit. Or you can heal yourself after freezing targets, really good.
Dawn chorus + incandescent has a funny little thing with it where, if you get a kill, no matter the activity it will kill the other red bars around it. I believe this is because scorch does percentage damage rather than base health damage; however, the fact is that it scales real hard in endgame pve. I don’t even use Dawn chorus with Dawn blade, I only use it for improved scorch.
I have a clip somewhere of me throwing one solar grenade in the Hallowed Lair boss fight and clearing each and every ad that spawns during the entire ad clear phase. Dawn Chorus can do some really nutty things.
@@WillZiacoma That’s happened to me, I was cracking up until the boss was dead
As a verity brow main, I've been preaching it's greatness for a long time. Not for PvE, but for PvP. 1 stack let's the weakening magnetic grenade 1 shot. Which can easily proc adrenaline junkie or golden tricorn and devour
As for mantle of battle harmony (second most used one) it's super fun using it with an adagio, high powered bow. It lets you one shot once your super is full
100% correct.
I found the weakening magnetic grenade to be weirdly unreliable for 1-shotting at 1 stack of verity's. I don't know whether it's a lag issue and the weakening not applying before the second explosion goes off, but i do know that it makes fusion grenades 1-shot with touch of flame!
@@MandrewTheFrog Agreed, I tried it after coolguy's video on it but found I just couldn't get it to work out reliably. One of those thing that will be a question of whether the player has a knack for it.
@@MandrewTheFrog that is interesting. Because the weakness applies when it sticks, since it technically does 2 damage, then the following explosions should be plenty to get the kill. And while the fusion grenade works, it's just wayyy easier to stick with the magnetic grenade. Plus you get the devour benefit after.
Same with double explosion fusion nades, but not as good
A really fun series, well done.
Next up you could do "what your favorite seal says about you"
Excellent and clever as usual, funny..great job
Controverse hold is actually really busted with void grenades right now, and it has been for a while. You can get a stupid amount of super energy, constant debuffs, and have your grenade up almost 100% of the time with Firepower mods. Really fun to play with!
What mods do you use?
Proud contraverse main since before beyond light
Elemental charge, elemental ordnance and 3 firepower mods. Stack on anything else like bolstering detonation on arms and ashes to assets with bomber mods and the thing kinda works for itself. Use vortex grenades with any fragments like persistence undermining and remnants, as well as the aspects for devour and bigger grenades, and you’ll have your grenade up all the time
The insult to nothing manicles hit me in my soul. Well played 🤣
I don't main the Nothings but I love them. I'm laughing that he said literally nothing about the Exotic and just dumped on the people who use it.
Using them with overcharge is so much fun, I just wish they were better
@@raider8724 isn't the granade bugged when you overcharge it w Nothings M? I remember that the damage was inconsistent.
@@stefanoarmani730 it's not bugged it's that the exotic already overcharges the grenade without the need to "overcharge" it. Therefore overcharging it does nothing I think. Oh and that inconsistency got fixed.
With Necrotic grips I go with the rusted out look with vex descendant chrome. Looks nice, especially when paired with the spoils of the shore chest.
Sunbracer’s main here, what you said is on point my guy. Those chaotic solar nades and melee combo go hard on PvE
"You're an odd little duck" yeah true
Also the stag ornament is incredible and what got me using it in the first place, then i feel in love with the exotic fully after the rework
I've been using Claws of Ahamkara exclusively on solarlock in pve. I started because of nightmare containment trash cleaning with snap and heat rises infinite melee recharge. Now I've figured out if you snap at the floor near a target it's an instant ignition which is useful for quick burst damage, especially on a primarily survival focused healing build. Actually sort of makes the melee do something in harder content
Warlock main here who just came back from curse of Osiris lunafaction boots in one hand and merciless/coldheart in the other. First exotic engram I found was apotheosis veil, first day too; super excited to see... I never dismantled an exotic so fast.
0:42 you mean Obsidian Mind. Loved using it for Gambit Prime. There were times when I'd refill my Super bar only a few seconds after nuking adds with my previous Nova Bomb.
Both my mains currently missing out on the more current viewpoints:
Karnstein: Makes the Roy Mustang snap build far more end game viable thanks to survivability (especially after the loss of backup heling nades). I don't hold W, but I do make silly little hops all the time to help ensure I get my melee energy back.
Contraverse: giant, weakening, devour granting, world ending vortex nades 24/7. Plus some DR for lane peaking or GM fight repositioning. There's a reason this gets used for a lot of solo flawless runs.
I'm in the same boat with Karnstein, I use it for survivability and always yelling at my buddies that if you see me panic punching a red bar in high end content is because I'm literally 1 tap. It also is one of my only arms that is for general use that has a 25 in strength and a 15 in resilience and discipline.
Necrotic Grip was quite accurate. ...Though, Osteo Striga does spread poison too (and recovers ammo each time you poison kill something so... ...Infinite Ammo?)
Also yeah, I like using Venomous on mine. NOW I need to get my hands on some King's Fall & that treasure dungeon Warlock bits to complete the mog.
The Osteo/Necrotic combo is especially fun for add clear in the Vow raid.
Friggin' hilarious commentary! 🤣Be cool to see this style of vid but for weapons mains eg. shotgunners, snipers, bow mains and so on.
I've actually recently been using Sanguine Alchemy in GMs and I can confidently say that high end content is the best use case for its exotic effect.
Since Rifts can actually keep you alive somewhat reliably in GMs now, getting an extra 5 seconds of Rift every kill is quite nice, and leads to incredibly high uptime.
I absolutely loved this series of exotic armor videos! I cant begin to imagine how much work and time it took to put these together. A masterpiece, well done Fallout!
Another description for Rain of Fire would’ve been you’re a pvp monster. You never take off Vex Mythoclast and odds are you run a charged with light build that increases your damage. Every time you are radiant you cast fear and confusion untoward your enemies as they are dumbfounded by the terrifyingly high number of kills you have with Vex Mythoclast.
Oh man that was f'n great!! 💪
Astrocyte Verse is amazing to use for Nova Warp to fling around the map w/ blink so that way you don’t waste super for the teleportation
I'll have you know that I'm a Necrotic Grip user that uses Osteo Strigga... And Thorn when I need that sweet precision kill.
Also, I'm surprised you didn't mention Shadebinders that use Mantle of Battle Harmony strictly with Ager's for maximum uptime on the super mode.
Necrosteo ftw.
Nothing Manacles is a good option! The improved scatter does surprising damage, and having a second one is great cause you can basically just spam the damn things!
...I'm still going to crazy town, aren't I?
No you’re right, fallout just doesn’t know
It's probably the best exotic for warlocks to keep volatile rounds 24/7 in any PvE content except GMs.
@@theprussianmink maybe even gms, I'm sure it could with enough building
@@raider8724 yeah, it can work, but there's a lot of enemies that doesn't die from the grenade unless damaged beforehand, so I tend to prefer Contraverse there.
I use them too!
Maybe we are crazy, but imo they're a really good pick for endless devour while weakening enemies left and right...with the correct build of course.
My thing is whatever mood you’re in is reflected by your gameplay+gear. I can’t tell you how many times I cheese with basically one hand because I’m IRL busy.
as someone who rocks Necrotic and Mantle I would like to make some corrections:
actually just a hard core PVE fan. I started out as the old boomer going for skull because it was like Obsidian mind, and then I spiraled more from Skull to Void sin, to just loving elemental builds so much that Mantle of Battle Harmony just glued itself to my chest. the only time I rip it off is when I wanna one tap ostea striga with necrotic grips and watch an army of adds erupt into a chain reaction of green mist.
All the vids in this series are amazing but a special place in my warlock-maining-heart for this one. Keep killing it fallout. These are amazing.
The first part of contraverse hold was absolutely true, but i think now, it is served best as a lingering charged vortex spam option with DR and crazy uptime no matter the difficulty.
I'm a relatively new destiny player, so idk anything about what Geomag Stabilizers was like that made it so powerful in the past, but I really just like my giant lazer attack and there's not many other options to enhance it.
Sanguine alchemy, healing rift, and tommy's matchbook was how i made use of the exotic armor in PVE. it wasn't that good but it was pretty fun
I use Necrotic Grips with Osteo Striga, alongside a glaive (usually Enigma). The glaive melee can proc the Grips poison effect, which will restore ammo to the Striga's mag. Even better if you have Grave Robber on the glaive, and a heavy with Auto Loading Holster. No reloading ever :D
Me too!
You're right about us Nezerac's users liking ability spam since I love it too. Fallen Sunstar was probably the one exotic I chased in lost sectors for my warlock for Arc 3.0 and I never took it off until now. Also you aren't lying about those of us who use Sunbracers because I literally do like to fill a room with fusion nades.
Before void 2.0 I had a really nice build with nezeracs, gnawing hunger, and the thing that lets you consume void grenades for health. It was amazing Pve, I could constantly jump into fights and not get slapped
The six I bounce between are:
Secant Filimants/Contraverse Hold for Void
Mantle of Battle Harmony/Starfire Protocol for Solar
Getaway Artist/Crown of Tempests for Arc
This is all for PvE mainly cause I'm not a big fan of PvP outside of souls games.
And yeah, you're not wrong about Secant Mains.
Also I used Ophidians for a while because they were my first Warlock Exotic lol, I didn't even know they were meta I just liked reloading faster.
I love this series! Both funny and accurate! A possible idea for another series would be what each subclass says about you. Where each video would cover a different subclass (i.e. Solar, Arc, etc.) on Titan, Hunter and Warlock.
Oh God, D1 veteran who hasn’t played since 21 here. This video, however unemotional it was, kinda made me cry. Destiny was ma first “shooty game” and first game I ever played with friends. It’s just seeing this game still exists that does it. Memories
Boots of the assembler is my go to for solar in any activity that has others. I enjoy keeping my teammates alive. I grow into playing a healer type and boots help me so much. Plus i get unlimited healing rifts with ember of benevolence.
Crown of tempests is accurate. I unironically yell "Shazam!" every time I activate stormtrance cause it's soooooooo satisfying
Ophidians was the first exotic I got when I started playing back in 2018. They've always been so good and it's the only thing I've ever worn since. Please. Don't take them away from me 😭
It will be a joke. It is one of the few exotics that promotes gunfights. If bungo nerf them, it will be the funny crap ever because they talk about less abilitys spam then nerf crap that promotes gunplay
As a Hunter main who has been playing Solar Lock for the new dungeon, do not sleep on Transversive Steps in PvE. You outpace a lot of your enemies shots while also getting such quick auto reloads that it can feel broken. TSteps and Healing nades brought me all the way to the Spire Solo Flawless
Definitely. I like both transv and ophidian for the reload stuff. Fallout was very off here
*looks at rain of fire*
yep! Destiny Enemy AI uses base running speed to calculate where you'll be when shooting, so a lightweight weapon + transversives lets you run around a lot more freely, with less damage!
as a user of Stormdancers brace with my Stormcaller... true, I love seeing my damage skyrocket as I slaughter through wells on the moon or other trash mob heavy activities, and it's fun knowing that at max ramp up I get a solid 50% of my super meter back at the end.
I rock Phoenix protocol for my dawnblade if I'm rolling with buddies.
With randys, I pop on the claws for daybreak or voidwalker. I'm not gonna say no to an extra finger snap with dawnblade or some more sustain with voidwalker.
When I started playing Destiny 2 I had no idea what builds were good or how to build my chara ter in any way (still not super good at it) but Nezarec's Sin is such a dope looking helmet that I knew went well with void and nova bomb so I kept that thing on me at all times.... still do
I remember using the pre-work sanguine alchemy in comp back in season of dawn, back then it would mark people through walls and it worked a lot more often than it realistically should have. I think the only time i used it after it got changed was to complete the catalyst for tommy's matchbook when it first came out, you could just sit in the whisper mission with both rifts and just chill
they nerfed that shit before people could even use it in trials,rare of bungie
@@TheBillhs Yeah they preemptively removed a bunch of wall-hack abilities/exotics from the game, but not all of them, prior to Trials releasing in Worthy.
The Karnsteins armlets are good for speed-running strikes with a glaive i have been enjoying it so far with kelgoraths judgment infinite healing plus you have a primary sword that heals you on kills.
Edit: Winters guile work with glaives too.
I used them for a while for a few reasons. 1. I was really shit at the game (I'm a bit better now) and having Karnsteins Gauntlets kept my sad warlock ass alive. 2. I legit didn't have any other exotics that were better. So I ran with Devour and the Gauntlets and prayed. Now I'm a bit better and am not dying every 2 seconds, so I run Nezarec's Sin
@@StupidCatLady When i started i just used lunafaction 😅 like a year ago+ but now i understand every single aspect of the game so im running a viodlock build that involves the contraverse hold with the collective obligation, i just have to throw my grenade get the collective debuff and when i need devour ill just turn on the collective it gives me devour+debuff+volatile rounds its an amazing build also when you get kills with the grenade you get damage resist because of well of tenacity and theres font of might too something similar can be done with nezarec and some other exotics :)
Love felwinters helm. Great way to work out raid runs
Ahhh I was waiting ☺️
That description for Felwinter's Helm was worryingly accurate 😳
Side note: I've been rocking FH since it came out, that helmet single-handedly carried my incompetent ass through endgame PvE 😅
