*this is not my normal voice. we just sick.*

my poor warlock main... (get well soon cross)

[@Titaniumdud]

You sound American AND SEXY

[@B_random419]

Remind me of family guy when Peter gets sick and Lois can't get enough of his sexy voice.

“Warlock is not my normal class. We just trying some builds.”

[@groovydolph]

Cross: “We’re not testing any other fusion rifle…” Me checking and seeing there’s over 30 mins left in the video with over 5 chapters of weapon lol 😂

[@Kujawa117]

Same lol

[@jian4701]

An hour of damage testing is my heaven IMO. It’s, for some reason, my fav video type to watch on this channel

[@ballpython365]

100% agree, damage testing makes my brain happy

[@Bryce-Uh-Roni]

Me love numbers

[@seanspursss]

Is probably hell to make an hour for us is probably 4 hours for cross and 7 for his editors

[@fugbo4336]

I agree cuz it really keeps me in tune with what’s good and not every season because some things will literally change from Season to season. So we appreciate it a lot cross

[@disturbtheremains]

I agree with this

[@sirpunchalot9026]

I'll riot if you stop damage testing. You guys somehow manage to make it entertaining unlike everyone else.

[@bhostology3660]

I completely agree, I sat here and watched someone shoot the same enemy with different weapons for an hour and was entertained.

[@SlaydetheReaper]

Just started the video and the edits already going hard! We love you editors and aztecross your awesome man thanks for testing

[@LBPBeats]

there's just something about Damage Testing videos from you that are addictive to watch

[@robbay8610]

It's the drama. I love it.

[@tylercyr6138]

I gotta agree, I've been waiting to get outta work to watch it

[@TLHGONZO]

1:46 LMAO! I swear, Cross has the best editors out there!

He was so done the whole stream lmao

[@ThenameYTchose4me]

Hahaha had to rewind it a few times for a laugh.

[@onesmileybaldy8303]

HAHHAHAHAHHAHA Bro he was ruthless,from viewers to mods,everyone was getting banned lol

[@joshuawarren396]

Lol I wasn't sure he muted him so I came here to check the comments.

[@Snickers04ri]

You’re the only person I go to for damage testing, please don’t stop

[@HaoLingLing]

oh nah

[@nicholaswilliams3323]

Because everyone else is doing crackhead APM damage swapping and some of us are 30+ year old fathers. Plus I’m rollin in eggplants at this point.

[@Operational-n3s]

@@nicholaswilliams3323bruh one of the best damage rotations is a simple 1 2 3 swap with icebreaker and a RL lmao it’s literally not hard to just sit there and not spam the same weapon over and over

[@nicholaswilliams3323]

@ counter argument, I don’t have icebreaker. Also just havin a bit of fun, I always have bns rotations on (GL or RL).

[@SonOfFangLeeFBI]

Live damage test videos are always comforting to watch. Please don't stop doing them 😢

[@MisterWoodie]

Cross - "I'm done damage testing come heresy." Cross when talking about Queenbreaker changes in heresy - "we're just gonna have to damage test" 😂

[@WeissM89]

I actively avoid videos longer than say 20 minutes, but I watch every single weapon damage testing video from start to finish. I can't even understand why I enjoy them so much.

[@dankerbell]

queenbreaker buff sounds crazy on paper, especially with particle deconstruction, i hope it slaps

[@dankerbell]

also i think particle reconstruction is a buff based on the wording but deconstruction was a debuff

[@budaluv4698]

Unfortunately it won't. It's damage is roughly the same as an Overflow + Trench Barrel Aggressive Shotgun.

[@themccman]

@@budaluv4698one of the scopes is turning into a 3 burst with decreasing charge time tho.

I LOVE damage test streams almost as much as I love Crankycross.

[@CrypticSiren]

FYI I fucking love these long ass damage testing videos. Keep em coming this year good sir

[@jonny_cage7730]

I know it hurts croas testing fusions, but i love this damage testing videos

[@hype9630]

You know what I just discovered after watch so many of your damage videos, the Templar sfx are so f-ing dope.

[@WesleyBrewer-y8m]

finally, we're going back to the fusion/linear fusion meta

[@hyperdude2015]

This is by far the best damage test experience hands down

[@kelbob00]

Thanks for the vid, cross! I know it was a beastly one to make. This was one of the better ones.

[@mrz2875]

Love watching your damage testing, I am excited for the return of an old favorite from long ago, Particle Reconstruction is goated

[@MLM614]

That was Particle DEconstruction. This is new.

[@zeromech1450]

Cross. We love these damage testing videos. Please do pre and post testing like this for every big sandbox update.

[@jonlucich2854]

You do you Cross, but you're the only D2 youtuber these days i enjoy watching.

[@ThePackman627]

Keep in mind, when LFRs got their 15% nerf a while ago, Sleeper and Queensbreaker were excluded from that nerf. Now LFRs are getting a 10% buff, so legendaries are being brought up close to before, but Sleeper and QB will be even better than before

[@lastwymsi]

People forgot that bungie spesifically said that Sleeper will always be the king of LFRs. By design it's gonna have the best base dmg.

[@Sadcatblake]

If we get craftable sleeper with actually goid pve perks instead of moving target, its gonna be amazing

[@optimizedgreek3712]

BRUH your editors are fucking amazing! Had me rolling

[@KingN3LO]

We live for the damage testing !!!

[@tbcomics7515]

Euphony+unraveling orbs+horde shuttle+partical reconstruction+strand warlock may go insane

[@SwampyThingy]

Scintilation with BaitnSwitch after Euphony runs empty to top it off.

[@robbiestafford6889]

@@SwampyThingyunless you unload Scintillation first your only gonna get 1 mag of Bait and Switch as a closer, not as a backup option. Not even Oryx or The Witness has that much time, even then you’d just use Whisper on Oryx.

[@stylinggamer2]

Yo, this is the most hilarious damage test I've seen 😂

[@mikeb-easy]

1:16 is my mood when I go to work on mondays lol😂😂😂

[@heshtheflasher]

NOOOO i love the damage tests i hope theres more

[@Soviet99cat]

for Euphony, if you do prismatic warlock with threadling grenades and devour you can pump out a lot of threadlings to increase spindle quickly.

[@raventhegreat8165]

I’d say strand lock is better with evolution, generation and accent. Pair that apotheosis veil to insta stack euphony never have to reload cause of accent. Next season with hoard shuttle particle recon it is going to be super broken with wicked sister.

[@MrJebzoh]

@@raventhegreat8165 keep this to yourself big dog dont be spreading out methods

[@Alex-ug9wx]

Use pure strand and Apotheosis Veil.

[@Alex-ug9wx]

@@raventhegreat8165exactly! Still chasing a good WS roll :(

[@Gunslinger8912]

I think the thing that most are missing in the Particle Deconstruction discussion is that it says increased damage "against that target". That means it's in increase taken to an individual target, not a damage buff that is applied to the guardian. It is a debuff applied to that specific enemy, so they take more damage. I don't think it will work with stacking, but will override less powerful sources of Weaken

[@FaizUdDin-w7k]

@Aztecross i always look forward to your damage testing please do them when ever you get the chance :D

[@orileyyt]

I truly hope he was joking about not doing anymore dmg test vids. I live for these man. Saw it was an hour long and already knew I was gonna watch it all.Thanks Cross for doing this even while miserable.

[@LostPet]

The 3 weapons I hope get the catalyst and the perk next episode. 1. Bastion - Maybe give bastion kinetic tremors, really play into the kinetic roll. Plus would help with champions/bosses. 2. Divinity - The catalyst should make its perk penance deal more damage and partially reload it from magazine. 3. 1k voices - Maybe just give it controlled burst and call it a day hahaha, fusion rifles are the meta next episode, so might as well.

[@thatguyyouhate3743]

Delicate tomb might actually cook next season on arc titan with a touch of thunder pulse to feed you ionic traces during damage. A 100% damage buff is nothing to sneeze at

[@robdoggaming5161]

I love your Destiny and non Destiny videos Cross you're an amazing connect creator, keep up the good work ❤

[@DeepSeaProctologist]

GOD DAMN edit is on point

[@corruption123___3]

Man cross does not play when he's sick. Also, I just wanna say this man is absolutely goated for doing all this damage testing while he's sick. Be sure to get plenty of rest cross, and I hope you feel better in time for heresy. 😊

[@ryanhickson6399]

Cant wait for the damage tests next week

[@thevilyn2075]

I don't even play anymore but will still watch damage testing vids

[@jesswalczak9946]

The Bradley shoutout was peak!

[@MyNextLifeASlime]

The interactions you have with your community is what keeps me laughing and watching. Just to funny.

[@real_dave1]

Holy shit, an actual positive destiny comment section? Love the damage test vids, and your editor does great every time. Never stop these, Cross!

[@blacktemplar707]

Will mention Ros Arago with Rewind Rounds/Deconstruct being a bottomless magazine again, Decon is a great perk. Wicked Sister is gonna slap hard after tuesday update with this and some of the other artifact perks, and Line in the Sand as you tested, B&S Decon, got that roll.

[@ministryofwrongthink6962]

Don’t sleep on sleeper! I love the fact that it still hits so hard, considering it’s a really special weapon to me. Back when the mission for it first dropped, me and 2 no-mic randys went almost an hour+ trying to beat the mission. It’s wild to think none of us gave up on each other after so many deaths in a randy matchmaking secret mission. I’ve never meant a dance emote so unironically as when we finally beat it and got ourselves a Sleeper. Like I said, the fact it hasn’t been nerfed to all hell really puts a smile on my face. I’m about to carry it all through Heresy 😎

[@justaplaceholder6356]

1:13 retiring? Sounds like procrastinating the inevitable. As Thanos once said; _"Dread it, run from it...the Destiny 2 dps test arrives the same."_

[@crazygame421]

No man please don't stop of doing damage tasting videos , it's my fav video type to watch on your channel

[@pduke770]

Noooooooo!! These damage testing videos are my favorite, please don’t stop them in D2!!!

[@baltazar514]

Honestly these damage test videos from aztecross are the ones I reference the most

[@TitanHurdles]

1:30 Everybody check out Aegis and his spreadsheets. Its likely what he's talking about and Aegis is such an amazing creator he needs more subs!

[@wajutomeevovo4138]

the Mod guy is super active.... you love to see it. lol

[@TheDomtie]

sick and still damage testing pog

[@XBullitt16X]

So glad I get to use some of my favourite weapons again.

[@TheBayouNinja]

Particle Reconstruction is worded essentially the same way as Deconstruction was. I wouldnt be surprised if it is still a debuff 6:45

[@chrisberg7862]

Honestly I don’t even care about this damage test but I just enjoy these video so much for some reason

[@iron883bb8]

Please dont stop damage testing. Betting is the stream is entertaining and the summary in the youtube video is what i need

[@disturbtheremains]

You know it’s over when aztecross doesn’t even want to damage test anymore

[@sinofwrath698]

[@orionhoover9457]

Fun fact with bastion, it's trench barrels buff and 1-2 punch buff that cycles. The gun is designed to use in tandem with bonk

Glaive UNDERDOGS incoming.

[@CoNiCuZn]

I still have never once used a glaive 😂 I’ll definitely try after these updates though!

[@rija6669]

Our time has come!

[@chrisdagoat990]

What glaive should I craft

[@route77productions]

@@chrisdagoat990Vexcalibur for either Hunter or Titan if you’re going for a durable tank build. Poke is mandatory for Vex. Edge of Concurrence for Hunter for a ranged Glaive playstyle which has a great ammo economy even in GM’s. Winterbite for Titan for a more pure DPS build with Synthoceps and Banner of War. Legendary Glaives? There is a Solar Glaive (Judgement of Kelgorath) that is craftable and can roll with Incandescent which on Triton Vice works pretty well. Greasy Luck, also a Solar Glaive with Incandescent drops from the Ghosts of the Deep dungeon. The Stasis Glaive with Chill Clip, An old Seasonal Ritual Glaive that’s Void(Ecliptic Distaff) with Destabilizing Rounds and also the Arc Glaive from Trials with Voltshot also works amazingly well. Albedo Wing from The Dawning also rolls with Voltshot but not many people keep those rolls. If you have it, Forthcoming Devience from Salvation’s Edge is good as well. But the Exotic Glaives are much better especially Vexcalibur which is getting it’s own individual buffs on top of the general Glaive buffs which will make you so durable and also help allies granting them Overshield. I’m taking it into the Day One dungeon after it carried us in Day One Salvation’s Edge.

[@supersaiyanbino]

[@YuNoReCordHD]

The only thing I wonder with Lorentz cause I didn’t see it stated anywhere is can you overflow the mag by picking up multiple tags, like if you make and ad clear setup focused around Lorentz before a damage phase and then you can just blow thine entire load.

Toxic Cross, is my favorite Cross.

[@johnnynicholls1043]

Deconstruct is such a slept on perk. Before the most recent nerf, my deconstruct/lead from gold indebted kindness was amazing to use. Too bad the IB wave frame killed the perk lol

[@garrettviewegh9028]

Can you do a damage test for DPS on snipers (legendary and exotic) Cross? Noticed you’ve done some, but it seems there wasn’t any testing done after Final Shape. When Still Hunt was added. As a Hunter, I’d like to know which sniper is the best choice for DPS. Some say Still Hunt is a close second to Whisper of the Worm.

[@phasedthrough3647]

Particle reconstruction is a debuff. It’s worded EXACTLY the same way particle deconstruction is worded and the only time there’s been a buff that only buffed against a certain enemy was encounter buffs/artifacts

[@balcanmihai1839]

no taipan/suspectrum and axial lacuna (the craftable one in cayde's arsenal) this time? taipan used to do a lot of damage if i remember correctly

[@Alex-ug9wx]

I’m kinda sad if this is the last damage testing video. These are one of my favourite types of videos you make. It’s just good dinner-eating material.
