[@themaxpanteraschannel9459]

I was genuinely surprise by how MUCH easier Macrocosm master challenge became after swapping places with an add clear: my fireteam was struggling killing ads (yeah, the psion gang...) and the champions, there were always 20 or so enemies on the map at all times. After 20+ tries i decided to swap places with an add clear, and equipped my best CC loadout (arclock + forberance)... we got it after 3 tries, there were almost no enemies and i was both managing the boss and all the adds, from both sides. you don't realize how bad (most) people are at managing priorities and killing ads until you actually try for yourself. A good add clear is an absolute necessity in true end-game content (Master raids/low mans/ecc) and makes the life of your team WAY easier. But of course people think that they can run their double primary triple kinetic targeting loadouts and be fine because "it's just add clear, it's easy!".

[@fallhayv8470]

To be fair, i'd love to learn how to run the balls in the raid, but at this point it feels like I'd be holding our lfg group back by trying to.

[@godofunity2612]

I'd consider adding in Telesto for an ad clear role. It firing delayed explosive bolts makes it a Jack-of-all-Trades for both ads and beefier single targets, on top of auto-reloading all equipped weapons on multikills and a Catalyst to increase mag size from 4 -> 7 for better sustained fire.

[@BC-ni6hp]

My friends always put me on add clear, not because I don’t know the mechanics, but because they cant even find adds in most raid encounters when I’m on them

[@blackyonbi]

The "B.C" on your name must meant " Big Chad "

[@mateominiati5256]

Another option to add. Trace rifles with incandescent. Bit more ammo friendly than a wave frame, and they provide that double special benefit of more ammo drops can pair with subsistence (retraced path) or rewind rounds (acasia's embrace) to redure reload needs. Havent tested volt shot with Path of Least Resistance, and if we ever get a trace with destabilizing rounds, it will be a good thing to have

[@frostyfox1649]

Def agree. Hollow denial is another great trace rifle option. Craft it with lead from gold and replusor brace for a great time. You can get a void overshield even when not on a void subclass. Then double special with this means more heavy bricks, which then gives hollow denial ammo too.

[@austin5801]

This raid has some of the easiest mechanics to the point where I think your weaker players need to do the mechanics and the stronger players need to be on add clear. 90% of anything that goes south in this raid is due to adds not dying fast enough because your add clear people are dying, costing revives, and the adds not dying are killing the players focusing on the mechanics (that really only applies to master because adds can’t kill players doing mechanics on normal).

[@JJMomoida]

That definitely checks out with my experiences on LFG. I’ve noticed, for example, that the people in two north triangles in Macrocosm can potentially have a hard time switching planets cause the middle zone can be *particularly spicy* if the folks on add clear are being milquetoast about it. Of course, the dudes running from side to side can still make it regardless, but I’ve definitely seen more deaths come from that side of the room.

[@austin5801]

@@JJMomoida that is probably the best example, because especially on master, going from top to top, it’s much more add dense where as the bottom feels generally safe. I’m typically going from top to top so I know that the relentless adds combined with the boss can result in death pretty frequently while transporting planets and that could all be mitigated with better add clear.

I was randomly pulled into RoN a while back by some friends with no experience and only my dungeon loadout, and I gotta say, Strident Whistle (the solar vanguard bow) is shockingly effective - with radiant it can bodyshot most ads in normal mode activities, and that lets you spam out shots as fast as you can draw them, while refreshing radiant and restoration with every kill. Toss in a chill clip riptide and your choice of heavy and you can cut through most things pretty dang quick. So glad I grinded for an incandescent roll, it's really come in handy lately. Even without radiant the scorch cleans up pretty good.

On planets encounter for example, those orange bar solar shield honored centurions have to die for the Colossus to spawn for runners. AD Clears who don't pay attention to this will then force the runners to try and do that, which can be difficult if their build is CQC + DPS, much worse on master. There's similar mechanics in other raids and dungeons aka killing x spawns y enemey.

If you’re a fan of Hand Cannons and are running a Exotic Heavy or Energy weapon, Fatebringer and Eyasluna are both very viable kinetic slot workhorses. If you need a Legendary Kinetic slot SMG, Extraordinary Rendition is a solid pick. If you want a good Energy slot Special weapon besides what Datto rattled off, Null Composure is a fun pick.

[@andreybudzik]

I like using builds for add clear if possible, arc hunter is really good with the jolt melee and I also use calibans hand( very underrated) on solar hunter with a healing nade for survivability

[@Fanatator]

Reminds me of crown of sorrow. You really had learn the rotations of spawning enemies and be efficient at taking them out cause that directly influenced the time you had for dps and general safety time. With cycling partner damage you also had to be prepared to deal with thralls AND beefy knights.

[@ToddtheGatr]

I like this take on the non mechanic based points of the raid...thanks for addressing this...shared with my community 👍

[@CalixtoErico]

I’m here for Datto going wild.

[@crashka5860]

Got my first clear of this today, everyone in my group did mechanics for at least one encounter. I was on a fire bolt splendour bonk titan with a thunderlord and ikelos smg so I could run double arc weapon surge. I was so aggressive my runner didn’t even notice the adds until our third attempt

[@kevindiederich4803]

With the recent sidearm buffs Trespasser basically deletes everything in front of you can can potentially one shot or nearly kill every single yellow bar

[@HisFlynessSTU2]

It feels good having a guide encouraging better gunskill in Destiny again

[@steveh7508]

suspend is amazing in second for lifting gold enemies , and holding nezz adds in place for wave nade eating them in one shot

[@jyapp4489]

One of the few instances where I am actually enjoying Elitist Datto, as add clear roles are areas I genuinely know I need a bit of improvement on.

[@omegapex]

I'm normally doing mechanics but whenever I do find myself on ad-clear this season I've got a wavesplitter build ready to go, really keeps those heavy bricks raining on planets with the endless supply of orange-bars

[@Camyar335]

Me after running planets, killing the most ads and getting 2nd highest damage: easy peasy savathussy

[@campbellclark2988]

My tips Encounter 1-2 ad clear Void class Witherhoard Hollow Denial Commemoration Goodbye ads Ideally for 3 and 4 you want to switch on Thunderlord and swap Wither for whatever primary special you like. If group insists on rockets, then stick with wither, grab a good legendary RL and make sure you use a few rockets on the adds so that heavy ammo can be picked up for Hollow Denial. Hunter and Titan stay on Void and Warlock switch to Starfire well for 3/4. Never have another issue again

[@tristansfun]

THANK YOU DATTO!!!! AMEN!!!!

[@Dyndase-29]

FYI, using Soul drinker (Vow weapon) heals you when you reload after hitting enemies helps a lot.

[@justagamingchannel642]

The timing of Shovel's emotes in the beginning is hilarious

[@communistspider3682]

This has to be the most hilarious video title Datto's ever made.

[@grandmas_special_boyy]

i love that this raid has flipped KWTD on its head and now you gotta be able to keep ad spawns under control lol this video is great btw, love this semi aggressive version of Datto that's kinda like your disappointed dad telling you all the things you're doing wrong

[@stoicrobot395]

Great video's lately. Noobs can learn much!

[@MCP2002]

Played a Raid with a guy who announced he'd do ad clear because he's not great with mechanics. My initial reaction was ...."oh no". Much to my suprise he was a fucking ad clear God. He killed everything. All the time. It was shocking how well he ad cleared. In all honesty, watching him ad clear was more interesting than the mechanics we were involved with. Lmao

[@shura4136]

I'm just watching this because I have nothing better to do, and I'm curious what advice you were going to give good advice BTW 😂❤

[@antny645]

This dattos content is what I need in my life

[@sauce.man03]

jokes on you Datto i'm already an add slaying god but I needed my opinion before ranting on reddit

[@donkulator]

When my team did master scission, I did ad clear mainly because I knew I could kill everything. I main arc hunter with liars handshake and my side never had more than a few ads alive, and I spawn killed the barrier champs when they appeared. Never got any thanks for it but I know how important my job was

[@TheBen69]

If the team is struggling a little I try my best to Sherpa. And I put on forbearance with arblest to throw some grenade the ad clears way between swapping planets.

[@Backk2Basikkss]

This is great content

[@tromar5758]

I feel like 90% people only put KWTD in lfg posts to scare off unconfident players most of them are still usually filled with people who don’t know

[@oxsila]

I'd say around 50% of people who join my KWTD posts are people who think i'm saying "I know what to do, you can just ad clear don't worry bro I gotchu." 😂😂 So it's gotten to the point where before I start the raid I check people know their roles etc

[@maekoh]

As someone who uses KWTD tags frequently, that's essentially the goal. I want people who know the ins and outs of the mechanics so that we aren't sitting for 2 hours in a raid that should take 30-40 minutes. And even then like you said, I get people using double primary's for ad clear, people not understanding mechanics and not communicating etc. I'd much rather teach you quickly while we're there so we can complete it rather than removing you cause you won't speak up or admit you have no clue what you're doing.

[@JCB988]

“Kwtd……I’ll do add clear” is LFG in a nutshell. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks so 😂 great vid Datto!

[@MrSecondchancebro]

1:40 and I can tell this is gonna be one of the greatest Datto videos ever.

[@oshadow8325]

When im in Add Clear Duty I run a decent void primary/special in my energy slot, and Leviathans Breath as my Heavy for DPS. As for my primary, usually I pick something like Dust. Cause my Add Clear is basically Volatile: The Experience. Haven't had any issues with Add Clear yet, but will probably when Vol. Flow is gone

[@benjaminaltube8731]

My man went full motivational speech at the end lol 17:26

[@petexn7573]

On my master nez kill for rank 11 my group already had runners so I got to finally just be delegated to add clear. I run a void gyrfalcon Hunter. I have conditional finality and a lot of game sense. The final tally on the kill was me with more kills than the next 3 people combined as I emptied the right side and managed the center with near instant champ kills. I love getting moments to just cut loose instead of doing all the work like groups often force me to do by never volunteering to do any mechanic ever

[@burns0100]

The same run I got my shotgun to drop I think we carried two people for their first run ever meanwhile I was on add clear with them, I was on right, the other two mid and left and I ended up with 200+ kills to their 50 and literally didn't remember who was on add clear because the runners had more kills then them lol. Finished tops dps and top kills and felt so good when the shotgun dropped only for me that run. Screamed out "I earned this bitch!" when it happened.

[@hydractra]

The sad thing is that the kind of people who are the problem in this video are the type who won’t watch a video like this in the first place

[@pandacrafty]

brigand's law just runs over planets now too. enemies spawn close enough to each other to all voltshot chain so you can just run in a circle from spawn to spawn wiping everything.
