Destiny 2: Song Of Flame + Dragon's Breath DPS Test

We were tired and this was definitely not optimised lol.

[@GooeyBoyz]

Gotta try this with apotheosis veil

[@Dez_CA]

after the super ends apoth begins

[@Surf272]

Apotheosis works very well here though you don't have much time once SoF ends before this boss goes immune

[@Siegram999]

I run verity or dawn chorus.

[@Dez_CA]

@@Siegram999 verity yep

[@Marshmallow456]

Pretty impressive, I’m glad it got some pretty solid dps

[@Surf272]

Just a heads up my teammate's Silence and Squal is buffing my damage by ~150k-200k

[@sniperfity2327]

I tuink the damage is limited by how fast you can ignite eneimies. With it taking 2 or 3 seconds per proc. If only the damaae would increase as ignite procs are stacked

[@nanosmokex6998]

I love how it lets you shoot while in the super

[@maffytaffy1231]

That damage rotation in the beginning is low-key insane dude what the fuck

[@drew3209]

I wonder if incorporating an auto loading mt top would be worth. Song of flame gives kinetic weapons scorch as well. For that matter I haven't seen anyone test the new kinetic trace with it

[@user-jx3mp1ie5v]

Good idea!

[@Surf272]

Just tested it with 2 kinetic surges and cenotaph. Did a lil less than 1.6 mil. Gonna upload that soon

[@kiraraxtails9533]

What about the new area denial gl added in for extra stacks of scorch? Or is there a limit to how fast ignitions proc?

[@TheFonz8]

@@kiraraxtails9533 only kinetic weapons get the scorch

[@apxika932]

Ran this for the first boss in Salvation’s edge to give my team DR. I used a Cartesian with it after the super ended too. Should be even better with Axial Lacuna

[@unusualthoughts2658]

I see you're using osmios, what about dawn chorus since you're already in scorch overdrive? Warlock doesn't have much in the way of bonus damage, so it's either that, apotheosis for more spam after the super or battle harmony for the little damage bump when your super is full.

[@Surf272]

Apotheosis is the way to go 100%. This was just a base test with nothing too fancy added. I have uploaded another video using apotheosis

[@FauxReal.]

Apotheosis veil is so op I just wish they had an ornament to make it look cooler lol

[@Voidova]

You gotta use it with Hellion, it's just free scorch. Having that extra scorch which is surprisingly high will likely let you refuel with one less ability between each rocket. You'd pump out your rockets faster and the super would last longer.

[@Surf272]

I've uploaded a 2.0 version using helion and apotheosis veil. Though the numbers here are skewed by my buddy using Silence and Squall

[@garrettviewegh9028]

“You no longer have to run Well”. Warlocks: “Oh thank the Traveler”! “You have to run Song”. Warlocks: “NOOOOOOOO”!

[@lowstringer3138]

Jokes on them I love Song

[@dankerbell]

wow cool to see other people's dragon's breaths work meanwhile mine only occasionally decides to reload after an ignition

[@Surf272]

It's faster if you have the catalyst. The more ignitions you proc the faster it'll auto load. I believe each ignition gives 2 outta 5 stacks. It's why I wanted to try this combo out because I think it's one of the fastest ways to auto load Dragon's Breath

[@Hwachaaah]

can you try this with chill clip bump in the night?

[@Surf272]

Sure! I'll try to have it uploaded tonight

[@boz-]

gotta run it back with exotic bond with apotheosis and star-eaters. stareaters buffs the ignitions too

[@Surf272]

Will do when I get it. Rng hasn't been too kind to me yet

[@boz-]

@@Surf272 same here. Running dual destiny has worn me down

[@MistaVauros]

How do you have a solar nade equipped in Prismatic?! Am I going crazy?!

[@Surf272]

I'm on the solar subclass

[@big_smokes_house6085]

Is this with Dawn Chorus?

[@Surf272]

No. This was just a base test with nothing fancy. Unfortunately Dawn Chorus doesn't add all that much damage. You'd be better off with Claws of Ahamkara or Necrotic Grips

[@goudagaxmunster]

Everybody is talking zbout apotheosis veil but what about dawn chorus ?

[@Surf272]

Dawn chorus isn't that strong here. It only boosts the scorch damage but you're building it up so fast with this you don't take as much advantage as one would think. I've tried DC, necrotic and claws of ahamkara. Both necrotic and claws were better. But Apotheosis is 100% the play

[@ImJaspy]

Damage test on prismatic please with star eater and fragment that makes you do more damage to a target with a darkness debuff from strand melee and a weakening void grenade, wouldn’t be surprised if it got 3-4 million damage

[@Surf272]

🫡

[@ImJaspy]

Yes sir I’ve commented on a few videos but would never get a reply

[@Surf272]

Just uploaded the results

[@SycloneDx2]

How about a legendary rocket with demolitionist

[@SapphicParadox]

Demolitionist has a cooldown when you use it to reload, something like 4 seconds

[@SycloneDx2]

@@SapphicParadox I didn't know that, that sucks

[@Surf272]

It would definitely be good. I just wanted to see how good this was cuz I was running through the whole legend campaign a felt like it was cooking everything 😅

[@kij4na]

@@SycloneDx2 You can Rocket -> Nade -> Rocket -> Melee -> Mountaintop -> nade -> Rocket -> Melee -> Mountaintop -> Nade Really epic damage & Lots of fun however definitely much better rotations in the game!

[@O-bearer-mine]

Gotta be honest, it can be done better, every abikity cast during the super eats your super duration, when you saw your rocket reload, you could've focused on firing first and foremost, not casting another ability, would've meant you saved super duration further down the line and maybe unloaded all your rockets

[@slytheninja]

I've seen someone do like 1.7m or so with just song of flame so dragons breath isnt really the best to pair with since most of its damage is from ignitions

[@Surf272]

At most the super does ~600k-650k to this boss. Not including star eaters.

[@greenlightxbpg]

Ehh, not terrible for 3 people. Still hunt on hunter does a ton more lol but for warlocks if they wanna take a dps appraoch this could work but i think voidwalker is better

[@exo-t07]

Without sns, it does around 1.5 mill

[@exo-t07]

Or at least when I tested it

[@Surf272]

Yeah I didn't realize it was making such a big difference until I was testing some other additional stuff later solo like apotheosis and I was putting up similar numbers. I added a comment about it but I can't pin it yet 🫤

[@exo-t07]

@@Surf272 oof, still super excited to try all of the dps swaps with it, it's my fav super and the potential seems endless imo

[@adamstaples9158]

Can’t say I’m surprised but this isn’t all that impressive. Maybe with a fine tuned rotation and hellion we’ll be talking, but I feel like a burst super and a normal apex/edge transit rotation would be way better. Not hating on your vid, this is a great proof of concept. Hopefully star eaters on the class item will make a big difference, but again, burst super lol. Seems like a mid point between support and dps, which is cute but by no means the dps monster we were promised.

[@connormcateer7125]

Honestly not that good for almost all your heavy ammo and a damage super and even fragments complimenting damage output.

[@snottytoe6957]

Honestly, Lament might go pretty good with song of flame.

[@Dez_CA]

is this a joke or do you have a mental disease

[@Laachen]

Don't use dbreath lol. So much damage loss

[@OriginaIYt]

Is the super free or i need to pay fuckin dlc?

[@Surf272]

It's part if the expansion. It's their best one yet so it's definitely worth getting imo

I mean, you can deal similar damage while using golden gun. And this specific instance requires you to stand relatively close to boss.

@@luzel3319 yeah, I'm expecting a higher number from a riskier play.
