[@voltrixgames4375]

hey cross thanks for keeping up video creation it means a lot to me that I can just randomly come by and pick a video to distract me. today has just been so shitty I just took my almost 13 year old dog to the vet today with my brother and we got news that she’s at the end of her life because of kidney disease and a build up of gasses from an empty stomach. Almost $1000 vet bill just to be told she’s at the end with barely anything that can be done to help. Her BUN kidney value is at a 27 (max should be 20 for an ok at best kidney) which is a sign of kidney disfunction and her phosphorus levels are at 16 when they should not be more than like 2.6 or something. Her kidneys are so fucking toast man. And any chance of prolonging her life will just make her suffer. So I have to distract myself as I literally witness her slowly wither away into a hopefully peaceful rest. It suck’s I have another dog that is going to be lonely now because he is used to the company of the one that is passing. It’s really nice to have a distraction from you like your videos man that are just good and goofy. Thanks for doing what you do. I’m thankful my dog was at least able to have puppies once in her life and live in a pretty decent house and have a somewhat big backyard to explore or run around in while she could just come inside and chill or sleep all day. Thanks a lot for making comfort aztecross you do wonders man

[@curtisgeist6122]

Keep these coming. The possibilities are endless

[@OllyDaHobo]

Ik people shit on strafe glide, but as a warlock main, that's literally all I use. Sure, you sacrifice some speed, but the level of control you have in air, and the ability to change direction on the fly, and to legitimately NEVER fail a jumping puzzle is so nice. Hate if you want, but strafe glide is criminally underrated imo.

[@stetsonmendoza2323]

That's all i use in pve

[@tomz6594]

I actually recommend this to my friends that are bad at jumping. I used it until I knew what I was doing 😋

[@iaiGamer]

That's all i've been using since Warlock skating was removed from the game. It's what I gaslight newlights into using. It's just so much better than burst glide. And, in PvP, if you eat your grenade to activate Heat Rises on solar it turns into a combination Burst + Strafe glide

[@Cheekbeater]

Imo burst glide isn't worth the possibility of dying lol. I used balanced

[@sh4rkstooth340]

see Titans could be so good if we just got more shit like Hazardous Propulsion. Firstly its not melee oriented and it feeds into that space super soldier Titans were meant to be

[@justincoloma3721]

Bungie literally has no idea what to go for with Titans, it’s such a shame

[@Jesuslover2000]

​@@justincoloma3721 Which sucks because I think they have potential for some cool ideas beyond the punchy punch. Like how Arc could be grenade and melee focused, depending on what you wanna go for. Void being the unbreakable defender. Stasis being the crystal spammer. In my own game universe, the Brawler is the equivalent of the Titan, but instead there's some actual vision. One of the subclasses is about supporting your team with a buff that'll basically give you a big overshield which takes 50% of the damage and then does some damage reduction stuff based on your DR buffs and stuff, while charging your own of that buff and letting you get in close with being able to spam walls that you and teammates can walk through allowing you to trap enemies and get in close to melee their health away. Or the Ark subclass (Ark is much different from Arc btw) which is all about healing and could be centered on the rooted debuff which locks enemies in place for about 20 seconds. Bungie just... doesn't care to be creative I guess.

[@insomniaddictesp]

Really really good Warlock build.

[@samvimes9510]

So happy to see a build using The Stag! It's always been one of my favorite warlock exotics purely because it looks so cool. I've been using it on my prismatic warlock, it's a great exotic for survivability and hellion just makes the frequent wells even better.

[@Kideem]

As a Titan main, that Warlock build is sick asf. Imma have to try it out. Props to that dude for making an actually unique build that’s effective too. This is the kinda shit we need in build battles rather than existing “meta” builds.

[@topical6574]

I'm sorry but Khvostov is the most satisfying gun in the game. I will never get tired of hearing those ricochet rounds.

[@ElyskeTheDonut]

First build has a lot of utility - filling any gap the team might have. Second build is a dps machine that needs the team to support.

[@kky7346]

I'm loving the titan build. There's just a lot of what it can do. You can either pop transcendence to spam consecration, or you can use your mini rockets to boost your rocket damage and take care of them that way. If you're out of rockets, you can spam transcendence and the other way around. It's just a good general end game level build that beats the regular boring synthoceps banner of war titan or the synthoceps consecration spam builds everywhere.

[@AeroWraith901]

16:20 Barrier champ said "no u"

[@charlestonjew7587]

[@lukmuxik]

For that warlock build, id say well would still be an option specially with Stag, cause stag affects the well, kinda givin us back the old well tanking strats (just gotta place the sword in cover now so it dont get blown up from aoe)

[@FYATroll]

call me crazy but I think Nameless build can be stronger on Prismatic. I know he said in stream solar was best because of benevolence, but on prismatic you have facet of hope to get your class ability back super fast, even when solo. On top of that, you can pair it with even better aspects. Devour or Bleak Watcher or even Threadlings from your class ability. And you go Trasncendent.

[@BrainCellsTimelost]

It comes back faster on solar because of singing. Singing is a 400% increase while hope is 60%.

[@zeromech1450]

[@brightenblack207]

This HP build for Titan is probably one of the only builds I'll use on Titan and, if I ever were to need to go on solar, the Warlock build is definitely what I'd be using. I love having Helion a lot.

[@Lookout1000]

Thing is, if you’re already planning on playing support, speakers helm on solar warlock is still better for the whole team. Notice that most of the time cross was using the sword shield to block, he wasn’t actually standing in a rift, so stag wasn’t really doing much. Just use ember of empyrean and you can keep full hellion & healing made uptime

[@Nixon_47]

I used the titan build the same way but with revision plus fourth times, armor piercing rounds and vorpal its very good it helped me solo this gm.

My HP build is close to this one, I use the call with slice and vorpal. The title with steady hands and one4all, (you can enhance the title's perks now) and two tailed fox or grand over depending on what flavor I'm feeling

[@Countchocky]

When you do have the sword with energy transfer, I'm betting you don't even need the class ability regen from the Stag itself. Instead, you should use the Exotic Class Item version of Stag, with the Vesper perk in the other column. You could get arc shockwaves on top of what you are already doing!

[@ThePickler47]

the stag warlock was completely ridiculous. off-meta yet honestly considerably better

[@thizzmonkey7846]

My build is what i call "The Slayer incarnate." Synthoceps Ophidan on my Soticism with thruster for mobility and quick reaper activation. Knockout and consecration aspects facet of dawn blessing and balance are a must. Frenzied blade for melee and glacier grenade for on demand cover as well as quick charging darkness for transcendent. Khvostov set to Pugilist and enhanced with multi kill. Seventh Seraph sidearm with vorpal and threat detector. And other half for eager edge mobility as well as dps because i have it set to whirlwind blade. If the boss is long range i switch the sword for my rocket launcer thst has impulse and lasting impressions and impact casing with maxed out blast radius. Lots of fun but i doubt its the best at anything.

[@cassshields5106]

I would change that Stag build a bit, there are several pointless things that should be replaced, but I see the potential. Especially with the new artifact mods coming in Act 2. Bigger booms!
