[@deadlyalliance8281]

Im a rime coat user and I noticed the bleak watcher crystals tend to explode more easily in expert content and under. When I would throw the bleak watcher at an enemy in master content, they would be in the center storm and freeze. Causing them to shatter by shooting them(not dieing from shatter) won't shatter all the crystals in master content or higher. You have to manually shoot them(maybe one or two will shatter at most) which is a pain in the ass. In expert onslaught, they will all explode causing a mini nuke to go off everytime which is why rime coat is S+ tier for expert onslaught.

[@anthonymonterrosa6242]

Bleak matches exceptionally well with a kinetic tremors weapon because of this. The nuke with it is both high damage and very reliable in gms

[@Gurdian55678]

I’ve solo’d the gm with rime coat and it demolishes everything it comes in contact with

[@Waxedem9199]

Yessir if you explode all four at once the damage is insane especially if you build around it. Makes expert feel like easy

[@deadlyalliance8281]

@@Gurdian55678 maybe my light level was not high enough at the time of rubbing that GM with it. It was 2010. I'm 2014 now, maybe that'll make a difference?

[@LordTepes81]

Rime-coat Raiment pairs perfectly with No Time to Explain since slowing the target returns rounds back to the mag. You always have that little time portal buddy shooting because of it.

[@lord_yukiko]

You can also use something like Revision Zero and have every champ type covered by means of weapon/class verb alone

[@absolutedynamite4979]

If you choose unstoppable for your artifact mod, won't that override the anti barrier origin trait for the zero or has that been changed?

[@LordTepes81]

@absolutedynamite4979 I personally haven't had any issues with it and it seems to be working properly.

[@lord_yukiko]

@@absolutedynamite4979 intrinsic antichamp always overrides seasonal mods or others (like radiant)

[@absolutedynamite4979]

@lord_yukiko Good to know. Definitely going to give it a shot.

[@Waxedem9199]

Rime coat has became my favorite exotic. It melts , so much damage if you now how to use it not to mention the torrent and the bleak watcher. Absolutely over powered I love it

[@MaceWindowsXP]

That speaker sight build is one I have been using since TFS dropped. It has allowed me to be the healer for every PVE activity on any difficulty. GM's, Master Raids and dungeons, Focus campaign, legendary excision, contest mode anything, etc. So long as Ember of Benevolence is active, you cannot die. The support frame auto is nice because any instance of healing a teammate with less than 75% total health (shields included) will generate an orb of power. The first build he mentioned also interests me considering how much Bungie shifted warlocks to be the support and ad clear roll. Have had issues maintaining survivability while also putting out >5mil damage on bosses in most activities.

[@Soulverine]

For the Sanguine build, if you use Still Hunt with Cause's Retribution, you can get well over 150k dmg per shot. Use the three shots you get in a BnS rotation and you're cooking

[@luckymec]

@Soulverine swap out for stasis weapon surge and bring the new Chill Inhibitor and I bet you can cook some bosses 👍

[@general-stix4208]

Lol i actually made a build exactly like your second build before seeing this. Must say i cant get enough of that burst damage. Good vid bro, keep it up.

[@luckymec]

@@general-stix4208 in most content, it's just so strong

[@LoktarOgar69420]

I just started playing again today and got a star eater / inmost light class item for my warlock. I’m so excited to give it a try!

[@cam_nado2379]

Please tell me you are doing this for the other two classes similar video ? 😊

[@luckymec]

100% next Friday and the Friday after that 👍

[@Virex_1337]

You can Player well - and change loadout to any heavy/sanguine loadout with matching super. Ae to transcended arc super with grand overture and get the buff to.

[@sirgideonofnir6840]

For the speakers sight build, red death works fantastically especially with the catalyst

[@Immortal_Mentor]

Teammates don't get restoration x 2 from healing turrets when you have touch of flame equipped, only you do.

[@Waxedem9199]

Dude you made my exact build in the second one lol nice ! Good video

[@bot-qw1be]

I run spirit of inmost light and star eater but I use the cold snap grenade instead of storm grenade for free facet of courage and ad clear with vs velocity baton as my main weapon and it is hella fun. If you get it with demo attrition orbs and run special finisher and some mods that give ability energy on pickup you have constant uptime of abilities.

[@Evilash]

Why is getaway artist not in this

[@luckymec]

@Evilash because it's very similar to rime coat. This season I'd argue that rime coat is better. Last season amplified gave DR which was massive so now it's just a bit of extra damage

[@PrinceK0mali]

Thanks for including one non-prismatic Warlock. I'm getting a little bit exhausted with all the prismatic builds.

[@luckymec]

I try to include them when I can, the Prismatic builds are just so good

[@PrinceK0mali]

@luckymec they really are. I like Prismatic, it's a really strong subclass but they have the potential to oversaturate and overshadow pretty much everything and I wish that the non-prismatic classes could get more time to shine because I kinda like them better.

[@KatalinaW1neMxr]

​@PrinceK0mali you can run sanguine on any subclass as long as you have the weapons to match the super

[@ElusiveHedgy]

Nice video! Been a warlock main from day 1 D1 when shatter Nova was my thing. I am really liking anything with lightning surge on warlock using either Felwinters helm or the more popular crown of tempests. I am interested to see what the upcoming melee mod on the artifact will do for the later build with the arc bonuses already on the artifact.

[@MrMultiPlatform]

Use solar with sanguine then switch to prismatic after you pop the super

[@jessecarter2346]

What exotic weapons do you recommend for each build?

[@gamerfreakinfoXD]

All depends on the build entirely I typically stick with exotic primaries just so I can get a boost in my damage, and get heavy to drop more often for my heavy weapon. EX: my arc Titan thunderclap build uses trinity ghoul and my heavy is either hot head or any legendary damage heavy. I generate a TON of heavy for me and my teammates and it’s amazing for ad clear

[@phillytothemax]

Graviton is pretty good. And in one of them he used the heavy solar one

[@tedwrender1892]

Radiant gives you Scorching rounds? There is no such thing right?

[@luckymec]

@tedwrender1892 not from radiant. Song of Flame gives solar weapons scorching rounds 👍

[@forgottenprincechara5356]

personally i'd swap facet of courage out with facet of devotion, because you're mostly gonna be focusing on playing around stacy, and paring that with the fair judgement auto? almost always killing something affected by stasis, which in turn builds your light transcendence while using mostly your stasis auto!

[@BradBolek-i2s]

I still prefer the arc buddy bleak watcher build over 3 of these builds, especiallly for gms and raids. For boss dps obvi u gotta go something else (chaos reach with geomags is actually stronger than novabomb now... Just fyi)

[@Filpperofcoin82]

Yooo great vid bro love what you doing is there any way we can get one of these for titan?? Thanks!!

[@luckymec]

@@Filpperofcoin82 titan one is coming next Friday 👍

[@alicelik5976]

How did you get a 158% extra weapon damage?

[@stevewherry6205]

With the warlock build with inermost/star eater, do you still need 6 orbs to get the buff from star eater before damage? or does sanguine proct that?

[@luckymec]

For Star Eater, you'll always need 6 orbs to get your 6 stacks of feast of light and boost the damage of your super. Sanguine would only give you an extra 10% damage unlike star eater which would be 50%

[@turtle4935]

Buuuuuuut you could super with star eater and then swap your loadout to sanguine and deal weapon dps like that!!!

[@s0.diviine]

will a titan and hunter build come out soon? i dont have enough time to grind out avtually good armor for my relatively new warlock :(

[@CubaSmileSauce]

yes, next fridays

[@instincthelios5240]

Dnt understand why you dont use 3 surge mod on legs on the first build 😅

[@jr-gd8hi]

Legs mods don't stack with Sanguine exotic

[@Waxedem9199]

I have never used the segune alchemy chest piece before. Heating a lot about it though

[@cameronviney8343]

Could i use Chill inhibator instead od edge transit on that burst dps build?

[@luckymec]

100% just make sure to swap to stasis weapon surge 👍

[@cameronviney8343]

@luckymec Wooo ty Edit: also, another good option for the class item is osmiomancy and star eater, and then I'd say if u want, the buried bloodline is a good exotic aswell

[@BB-xn1rw]

Could you do a vid on titan? I’d love to go back to playing one

all im saying is sunbracers better be featured

[@christopherjackson9741]

I like Rime-coat.... don't love it, especially when on another class. They're actually very annoying to play with on a team. Nobody...&I mean NOBODY that I've played with has ever placed the turrets in a way that wasn't obtrusive. Ppl don't even realize they don't need to stand directly within the storm to get the stasis soul & they believe hitting an enemy with the turrets storm will freeze enemies (or think the 4 crystals are enough to kill a boss😅) & it don't work that way. People literally do not test builds & how to use them prior to doing team based content. Just paste & copy. Like the amount of times I've exploded due to somebody throwing a turret directly in my face has become so annoying that I need to hop on warlock to 'train' ppl how to use it without them being extremely unaware & inconsiderate if their team/surroundings. Not to mention turrets can get in the way of anyone using any type of rockets/explosives...just like scatter grenades, ice recently learned, lol

[@lennard7152]

[@christopherjackson9741]

@@lennard7152 it depends on the mode I'm playing. Literally can't wear 1 loadout for every piece of content.....I mean, you can, but it's not optimal & makes the game stale, tbh. I personally use a lot of exotic class items, or off-meta bulids (I try to dust off items I don't normally use), & what I just have fun with. I used to be one of those ppl that put on sun bracers and never took them off unless it was for getaway artist (pre final shape) Lately on hunter I've been using Relativism with Inmost+Cyrtaracne+Travelers Chosen for GM content, mostly. Dragon+Coyote for onslaughts. Caliban+Coyote for Free Roam Galanor+Star Eater for Dungeons, mostly. On warlock: Osmiomamcy+Star Eater or Verity Fellwinters Helm Necrotic+Harmony (esp on solar glaive, personally i use edge of intent)... this eats in ad dense areas Filaments+Starfire is a fun alt. If you know how to peak fire well enough On titan: For the past idk 6 months I've been running Icefall Mantle+Unbreakable+Cryosthesia 77k Inmost+Contact Hoarfrost+Contact (with barricade)+ice wall grenade (the name escapes me rn) Second Chance (no.1 pve pick every time) Doomfang Pauldron These are my top picks with what I have, right now. There's exotic class item combos still on my wish-list. Also,idk if it's worth mentioning but I'm partially paralyzed in my dominant hand which also affects my gameplay & weapon choices. I tend to go with things that causes the least amount of strain. With all that said, i am a warlock main, hunter secondary.

[@Xiaolruc]

'Up to 40% Grenade energy from Devour' **'40% Grenade energy per kill' on screen** Only the highest-ranking enemies give the 40% energy. This feels a little disingenuous.

[@luckymec]

In my full breakdown videos (10 min per build) I mention the full range (15-40%). It's hard to determine what should and shouldn't get cut when scripting for the shorter 3-4 minute videos. That's why I phrased it as "up to". I definitely understand where you're coming from, it can be difficult to figure how to say things in the fewest words possible but still get the full point across

No1 wants to be a support player bro

[@jaggerknife]

I guess im like the only one. Ive always enjoyed being the healer in games.

[@BradBolek-i2s]

@jaggerknife i mean i enjoyed it too, in games like Tera, where healers can 1v1 anyone, have cool skills but also are supportive. But in a game like destiny 2, you literally NEVER need a support on any team unless ur in a raid boss fight and even then, you only need a well, not necesarily someone going full support. Its literally useless as 9.9 time out of 10, you dont actually support them anyway. Your grenade is only ever used on yourself, not teamates, and u put the well down when YOU need it or when the whole team needs it at once. Theres no real support playstyle in thos game nor is it needed. Any situation besides well on bossfights that you could have a support player or someone that does a bunch of damage, ANYONE is picking the extra damage.

[@jaggerknife]

@BradBolek-i2s great points, there isnt much for a healer to do in destiny really.
