[@Lucifurion]

Another look at this build with the Act 3 Artifact auto rifle additions would be awesome if you ever get the chance. Also considering you can’t get the rocket arc sidearm you suggest any more an alternative would be handy.

[@joshuabruno1500]

I came back to this video almost 2 weeks later just to say....ive watched a bunch of videos coming back as a warlock in the final shape. And NONE compare to this. Not only did I learn the build. I learned visual just how some of the fragments work....be proud of this one my man...job well done

[@CastleContent]

thanks a lot josh that means a ton

[@Greg13578]

Ionic Traces are even better than you describe, they also give ~12.5% grenade AND melee energy too

[@ihave8brokenvertebrae561]

Is that for all types or just Arc grenades?

[@satanxdarkxgames1310]

@@ihave8brokenvertebrae561all types of grenades and melees

[@CastleContent]

ha wow you're right, I know that and completely whiffed in my edit like a melee in crucible -- thanks for adding Greg🍻

[@gengarclefairy3475]

Even better than that, it gives 12.5% for grenade, melee, AND class ability

[@Zevox144]

Greg still helping us make builds, even after being sunset.

[@acktaurus]

Naaah that transition at 7:43 smoooooth

[@xTooXGood7x]

I was about to comment this lmao bro it was fire lmao I had to pause and go back, rewatch then I was gonna comment

[@CastleContent]

YESSSS YOU NOTICED ahhhhhhh

[@mefcalols4446]

I didn't even notice it it was so smooth. Well done

[@cambrown4854]

I was experimenting with this build and swapped agers for Final warning with catalyst. Its beyond busted and since it has built in unraveling you do not need to take facet of bravery and can opt for balance.

[@xtuga101]

As a visual learner myself, your video was really on point regarding the explanations, I really need to check more of your content.

[@GhostCastle7]

He doesn't post like crazy but his content is always 🔥. I love his breakdowns

[@CastleContent]

That means a lot xtuga. I'm trying to find a balance of lowering how thorough I am so that I can shorten videos and get more out, but maintain visual clarity because it's really important to me personally. As you can see I failed that balance on this video making it 19min for 1 build lol but there's always next time... ha

[@ezekiellanpheare3144]

Came to make the exact same comment 🤘 solid video!

[@WestCoastCanuck]

​@@CastleContentthank you for posting the content in the way you do. I'm very much a visual learner and it can be hard for me to see and understand the interplay of all of the pieces involved in a build. I hit the subscribe button about 30 seconds into this vid.

[@Filthipino]

Please dont change the way you explain builds. I wish nothing but success for this channel as its the best one ive found yet regarding d2 builds.

[@ven4673]

I'm not gonna lie, your channel is new to me but in terms of just a guide, you explain things wayyy better than some of the other more popular channels + im actually surprised ur guide on mobalytics is so well done too

[@kreia187]

I just wanted to say the editing in your video is superb, the best i've ever seen in a destiny build video. Looking forward to more like this. Great job.

[@WarDaddy-y7r]

Great video! I think I found a new build peddler lol, as a middle aged casual that works 50 hours a week, I have to make time to play my favorite games,usually solo. The depth of info is very valuable to me, not telling me but showing me why to use, what to use, and how to use is priceless. Can’t wait to get home and try it. Nice job keep doing what got ya here! 🤘

[@froggingfroggy]

Not even 2 minutes in and I’m subbing solely based on the presentation style. Incredible.

[@hollandsch]

First video I've watched of you and already hooked. Love the explanations and visuals, well done.

[@MrRobobaby]

Thanks!

[@CastleContent]

Holy thank you for the tip!!

[@GabrielHernandez-br2ug]

Been using something like this since tfs released build with the exception of a void grenade instead of threadlings because it’s so sexy and when you pop transcendence and start sliding everywhere throwing lightning everywhere and throwing the prismatic grenades it’s heaven

[@awesomecreationschannel]

This was my first introduction to your channel and I wanted to say thank you. I really appreciate the time you took to clearly explain every element of this build and how to use it. Plunder is my go to guy for builds but your explanations are slower and a bit clearer. I have a friend who has just returned to Destiny and he will benefit a lot from this format. We're actually both Titan mains but I swapped to Warlock for this season because of survivability and I've been running a Hazardous Banner build that I'm testing out for him but I'll be watching your Hazardous Prismatic video next. Thank you again 😊👍

[@linkpaivichit7651]

17:50 prismatic ability refund after depletion caps out at 20 weapon kills equating to 50% refund on abilities. This is such a big deal that you’ve shared this. I’ve watched hundreds of Destiny videos since Final Shape came out and you were the only person to have shared that data (to my knowledge). Big thanks, #CastleContent

[@sheergoatification3885]

Agers is definitely more than valid but final warning also is a option, helps apply darkness defbuff and will feed into those tangles too, I haven’t seen how juicy the catalyst is yet though

[@snickersanyone]

The catalyst is amazing. Final Warning is criminally underrated.

[@EepyGirlLava]

@@snickersanyone no shhhhh as a final warning main we cant let them know, I dont want another thing to get nerfed into the ground.

[@tkbinks]

I watch several builders. This is one of THE MOST informative buildes that slowly breaks down the "why" of the choice. Through your explanation of how choices interact with each other, I was able to imagine several alternatives with the new exotic class items. I could see this build and others very similar clearing high end content no problem. You have definitely gained a subscriber and I'll see you in discord.

[@OAFB]

You genuinely are one of / if not the best content creator that explains everything in a way that everyone can pick up on. Never subscribed after one video, but you deserve it all. Keep up the good work, I’ll be using your channel for all of my guides. Thank you

[@ValorX0ne]

*Makes popcorn before starting

[@THETBRETT]

I really missed swarmers this season because of Prismatic, and now they're back, thanks and subbed.

[@zombieskittles1]

I'm so glad I watched the full video, because I was gonna ask how people are doing the arc melee thing, but you showed it and even described how it works. Good job on that! Great video!

[@LOKNES1]

The breakdowns and vids are top notch. I will have to try this build out. 👍🏾

[@crimsonreyes]

I've watched a lot of different build guides, this format is really unique and clicks in a great way. Excellent edit and really interesting build.

[@KoschEQ]

I am a visual learner too and appreciate how you have laid all this out. Learnt alot of new things!

[@MiltonStillton]

dude, just got this in my recommended, my new favorite. Love how you break things down.

[@GG-671]

I srsly love your videos, the effort you put into them and the visual aids. Makes the video not only easier to digest, but entertaining as well.

[@SeizeHerSalad]

I use something very similar but I enjoy the new warlock chest. I suspend everything, pop the tangle and kill everything with a heavy stand. It makes me feel more in control over beefy targets because normally they have trash near them.

[@myp3tmonster]

Just randomly looking for build ideas and your video showed up, instant sub from me. Love how much effort has gone into breaking down the build along with the editing, looking forward to more!

[@TimecraftGamingSjors]

I play this exact build with hellion. It gives you ignitions for unstoppables, but also, next to the threadling aoe damage, huge ignition damage and passive chunks of transcendence buildup (adds up really fast and you dont need to slide into enemies). Combine this with fire sprites and you'll have permanent restoration. Also, i prefer phoenix dive to stay mobile, since final shape is centered around mobility

[@smiddyman]

I've been unsubscribing to a lot of Destiny channels to clear my KZbin feed from some of the spammy copy/paste content, but I can't pass up on videos like this. Very nice video with some real care put into it. Subscribed.

[@YeezyGT]

The witness staring contest at the end messes me up man 😂

[@thegetupkid8281]

Exceptional explanation and even better editing and transitions. That hand transition jumped out and made me watch a bit closer! Not a warlock main, but I’m a subscriber for sure and will hunt your other builds.

[@deathconreaper]

Really well put together video. It’s not easy to make such a detailed video. Got my subscribe.

[@DaddoesDestiny]

Something I really like about this build is the use of Hammerhead. Leading up to final shape all the big Destiny KZbinrs were hitting us with the FOMO, get the brave weapons, ya gotta get the shiny ones,”they’ll be so strong in final shape” and as I predicted now that final shape is here it’s crickets. They are all talking about the new weapons. This video highlights a weapon I grinded a lot for and now I can slap it on this build and not feel like that grind was a waste. I’m liking the video for that weapon choice alone! The builds great too 🫡

[@millennialcatparent420]

If your weapon set up lets you, using Deterministic Chaos has some good synergy with the volatile/weaken trait and the artifact mods. Just another void machine gun option, plus it has anti-barrier!

[@DaddoesDestiny]

@@millennialcatparent420 why did I grind for brave weapons to never use them? That was literally the whole point of my comment

[@austinhess4967]

​@DaddoesDestiny well except for edge transit. Still pretty great. But yes, I understand your point

[@breadman5306]

Word, I wasn't too pressed about getting a shiny. Most of the weapon drops I was getting, was just as good, if not better than shiny. Also, Hammerhead slaps!

[@DaddoesDestiny]

@@breadman5306 but the shiny ones can be upgraded now with enhancement cores and all that, but it’s not like it’s a meta defining change. I just find it funny how everyone talked them up so much a few weeks agai and now that final shape is here, nobody is putting them in builds. I use hammerhead in this and I use mountaintop in my Titan build for the new chest piece but that’s about it

[@vladtheinhailer1428]

I love the deep dive builds with lots of explanation as to the 'why' you chose this or that. The Mobalytics page for the build is icing on the cake!

[@ianwithag]

FINALLY... a D2 content creator that explains the builds in a way that i learn and understand it.

[@jbovenzi]

Awesome video... got my Warlock all set up... can't wait to try it out!

[@micahdominguez8744]

im going to start using your builds over any other content creator due to the time and energy in your presentation for other visual learners, like myself. great job, sir!

[@eliaspanayi3465]

My favourite prismatic build is bleak watcher and devour + getaway artists. Arc and stasis fills the bars, you can capitalise on your grenade twice in one go, and get it back passively because your turrets are always on. I dont really vibe with the transcendent grenade so i just use the activation as a nice "oh shit" button to instantly renew all 3 arcane needle charges to proc a fresh devour in a bind.

[@grimmSOL]

Your favorite Prismatic build is the one absolutely everybody and their brother uses? I'm surprised to learn this...lmao 🤦

[@kaganatorplays9205]

I used it for a week and yes it's good. I switch bleak watcher for Helion sometimes to change things up. I want to try other builds but there not as good as getaway

[@Trevoroxx]

Saw agers. Wanted to check what other weapons you were running. I recommend the marcato as a machinegun to roll with any threadling build (and agers + Indebted pair well with it

[@retroelectrical]

Great video! Thanks for explaining the unravel mechanic as it may be confusing to new players.

[@bumbomerazi2599]

I love the detailed explanation of why you are choosing each option. Now I just have to get all the fragments.

[@sarge205020]

I gotta say this is one of the best build videos I have ever watched. Hate I missed your channel until now! Fantastic work!!

[@HaloEchoe419]

The Call - Buried Bloodline with catalyst - and a void machine gun (Hammerhead) are amazing guns that have worked really well for me. You have devour up constantly so Buried Bloodline will weaken anything it hits plus benefits from volatile rounds, pull out hammerhead and go to town. The Call to blow up the green nukes. It's amazing. Love this build.

[@davidgonzalez-ke8ls]

This was some of the best D2 content i have ever seen. You are doing a great job!

[@flupyt1182]

I like weaver call more than the arc surge and us the dive class ability. This gives you more threadlings and when using super you can cycle grenade , melee, dive. So i create threadlings while in super.

[@thekoldtruth7445]

I love this video! The way you break it down in such detail is next level. Thank you!

[@user-vn6ol1jn9l]

It's really a fantastic build I've been using the swarmers on prismatic from day 1 of final shape but I think I'll be changing some of my fragments to you're recommendations, thanks castle 👍 great video

One of the best videos ive seen detailed and explained everything PERFECTLY. Keep up the great work man

[@YourFavorteLunchLady]

Your methodical approach and word choices are impressive, quite eloquent! Great quality, and great build!

[@camper5579]

Prismatic is so interesting, you can make so many cool new builds with it.

[@Err_Not_Found]

Video's great! Here's the weapons I use with the build, they work really well with it : Primary : anything with hatchling, personally I use a Fang of Ir Yut, makes it quite easy to hit precisions shots; Secondary: Indebted Kindness with voltshot, can't pass that one up xD Heavy : Dragon's breath, it still hits like a truck.

[@galensturupcomeau1242]

Maaaan i just got the Iron Banner Auto Rifle with Slice and Hatchling. Gonna need to try this build. Thank you for explaining things i didnt realize to a new player.

[@lorentzdriver4048]

When getaway bleakwatcher gets eventually nerfed, this will be great to fall back on

[@hazardous8301]

This is warlock we’re talking about, you shouldn’t need to worry about nerfs for awhile.

[@Emenord]

​@@hazardous8301Warlocks never start out OP, tho. We never get to be fun. Also, we're ad-clearers, in other words: High bursts of damage, but doesn't last, so the higher the content, the lower the damage.

[@hazardous8301]

@@Emenord warlocks have been THE meta class since d2 release, with the only exceptions being a brief period after launch with striker titan, and a brief period after arc 3.0 with storm nade titan. Not to mention they had indisputably the strongest build in the game(even for boss DPS) for over 3 years straight, and took a full raid team clearing worlds first in just over 2 hours for bungie to finally do something about it. They removed Resto times 2 from a titan exotic, meanwhile warlocks can get Resto times 2 for free, and can even give it to their whole team. Not only that, banner got repeatedly nerfed because of its survivability, despite banner, even with woven mail, still gives less Mathematical survivability then Resto times two, which again? Warlocks can get for free, and even give it to their team.

[@chazloggins7577]

Bro bleakwatcher is buns compared to hellion. That’ll never get nerfed, takes forever to freeze such a crappy aspect to choose from

[@SleepySlevin]

This build with thunderlord for overload, and a chill clip fusion for unstoppable, you're set. Gonna try with ashes to assets on helm too.

[@tomoyaokazaki2138]

Made the build and I don’t die as often, but I still died with it. It is however enjoyable watching the Threadlings attack enemies, the Sever needles hone in on enemies, and enemies unraveling into tangles.

[@markim5087]

I tried the heat rises build with the solar nads …which sucks because if you don’t get a snap kill, it won’t start, and if it does proc, then you only have 4 nads and unless a ad is under you it doesn’t work, lol..

[@galaxamusthedruid1715]

Ran this with: The Call (Demo+O4A) Indebted Kindess (Voltshot) Dragons breath Felt really good on glassway. Be careful with overloads and rely on transcendence to get you your melees back pretty reliably. The usefulness of 2 strong primary weapons with a baked in overload stunner felt awesome. Way more fun than getaway, and had a higher skill ceiling and openness to weapons

[@galaxamusthedruid1715]

For barriers: 1 or 2 shots of a sidearm, pull out DB, melee, then fire DB. They will shield up and get insta stunned every time, guaranteed

[@Uubier]

yeah i found that mostly bc i use harmonic siphons so much that i do tend to stack my builds a little to one side or the other, and occasionally like on battle harmony or night hawk, i REALLY stack to one side of dmg, and use a kinetic, which using a kinetic is alright its kinda even building for both but i THINK it actually gains a fair bit more than a normal kill with element wep once one side of the two bars is full. so you may be stacking light rly fast, but then dark will catch up after pretty fast too. but for the most part i try to take a primary and a heavy in opposite alignment and its fine
