[@pirate_duck4985]

The Heavy GL with Envious Assassin x Explosive Light is absolutely amazing! 14-16 Grenades in one go! My friend is arguing to anyone that'll listen haha, that Cascade Point is the way to go because you can pump out the Grenades way faster. Edit: Voltshot is really good on Strand-Lock! Especially with Necrotic Grips, hit a big enemy with the Voltshot then a poison melee & they run around wrecking the trash!

[@Kriss_941]

I think envious + cascade point is the way to go if your only concern is the DPS of the weapon... I still haven't tried the roll and not sure just how many shots you can empty out before cascade point goes away, but the potential DPS is really good on that roll. However, I think most content benefits more from explosive light... it results in more total damage, it makes the weapon better for adclearing should you need it, it has a better ammo economy. The only place it looses to cascade point is probably in really short burst DPS scenarios, we're talking like 5 second DPS phases and I don't know how many of those we have...

[@pirate_duck4985]

@@Kriss_941 My thoughts exactly! Templar as an example you can pick up orbs during the DPS phase haha.

[@Kriss_941]

@@pirate_duck4985 Also think cascade point + auto-loading can be pretty solid given the right context. Say you have an autoloading special weapon like a sniper you'd probably be able to just go back and forth between the two. Or if you need to just extend your DPS a bit more than the 5 second window you could pair it with something like a cloudstrike, empty out the cloudstrike, swap to the GL and dump 14 shots in a few seconds...

[@pirate_duck4985]

@@Kriss_941 that's a pretty good shout, might craft a second one with Auto-Loading x Cascade Point for the Sniper Combo!

[@Kriss_941]

@@pirate_duck4985 Guess it would maybe work better with something like double slug since snipers aren't especially strong atm. and if cascade lasts long enough to empty all your ammo then why not just have envious assassin I guess... hard to tell if it's really worth it or not...

[@nma-sniper]

For the breach-load gl I really like the envious and voltshot build because it feels like it can serve two purposes. It’s a good swap gl with multiple shots and you also get the benefit of being able to use it as a mob clear weapon with voltshot. While the two perks don’t work together well in a synergy sense of the word, they work well together to give the gun multiple uses at one time.

[@recon8677]

When you pair up envious assassin with this gl it wastes ammo and wasting the damage bonus voltshot gives off and reckon it'll become better at ad clearing and dps without envious assassin. I think this gl relies onto it leaning into an arc build where being amplified with arc reloaders on makes the weapon reload insanely fast. you can also give it a reload masterwork as well as noble deeds coming into play and being able to boost its reload speed further with the artifact mod that boosts its origin trait. On top firing it and reloading fast and dealing more damage and better ad clear you can replace envious with lead from gold to gain more ammo. I get your point tho but I personally see envious as a hindrance rather then it being good to have on the weapon

[@RobbieB2606]

Regnant - I'm so happy you referenced that pregnant miss-spelling video, its all I think about when I see the weapon

[@specktech314]

repulsor brace + destabilizing rounds is also a neat combo for getting the overshield

[@keybladejoshua4721]

I know!! No one seems to be talking about this and it has become a staple in my Void Warlock build!

[@cheesepuff4573]

I have both of these enhanced, and it works beautifully with my Gyrfalcons.

[@cmdrmeldoc59]

For Caretaker, I firmly believe the roll of Energy Transfer and Incandescent is a god-tier combo, unironically. The fragment that lets you get class ability energy when scorching (I forgot the name… Searing?) in combination with this can give you back your whole class ability SUPER quick in a pinch. Kill an enemy, spread scorch and start blocking for a very quick barricade for Loreley builds or a Warlock Rift. Could especially work wonders in higher difficulty activities where getting your class ability back quickly can be crucial. This sword thankfully doesn’t have to be used offensively, but also defensively.

[@Vaultyboi22]

Could also be very nice for suspend spam hunter builds.

[@cmdrmeldoc59]

@@Vaultyboi22 absolutely!

[@Michael-ee4uz]

I use something like this with the Stasis sword from Dawning for a Stasis rift with Vesper of Radius and the second perk Cold Steel. Rift energy while blocking and surrounded and slowing/freezing targets generating shards and gaining damage resist before dropping a Warlock Glow-Deuce on a group of soon to be shattered ads? Yes please.

[@abdulmuhaimin5274]

Ember of Searing

[@EnVokE_ME]

Envious Assassin/Incandescent is really good for sunspot focused Titan builds. Scorch damage kills across multiple targets spawns a sunspot at the recently defeated targets location and if running Phoenix Cradle, provides Sol Invictus for you and allies

[@dlira6242]

I'm glad that the Yahoo Answers Pregananant video is as ubiquitous as it deserves to be lmao

[@joeliolioli4156]

Duelist’s trance is GREAT on swords, your charged heavy attack comes back ~20% faster while you keep the sword out

[@Alucitary]

Energy transfer on the sword is pretty decent for a strand build considering how strong class abilities are on strand.

[@xZipkan]

Heavy GL is what I rushed trying to get and I can't take it off. Crafted envious and explosive is sooo good. And getting orbs and having it also apply volatile rounds is nice.

[@ItsameArtic]

Raconteur honestly reminds me of a certain bow i had when i started my journey on destiny 2, No Turning Back, it had threat detector and explosive payload and it was the only weapon i used for a while before it got sunset, im happy that this is here since it has some of my favorite perks (shoot to loot and explosive).

[@vib2119]

Thanks for delivering my opinion Datto

[@Collin_J]

Prodigal return is one of few weapons with turnabout in the third column, and it seems to activate when breaking a shield with voltshot. I think that combo with disorienting makes this the best endgame blinding GL

[@austin5801]

[@terminalspeakers]

Procrastinators? You mean people that have jobs and children? (Mock outrage). 😉 I love the pregananant reference. None of my friends got it when I said that. So far, my bow and heavy GL dropped with my god rolls first time. Never had that happen before. It does make me want to craft it even more though. I was using my MG for a long time because it had keep away and golden tricorn, but the HGL has been edging it out. Love the vids brother!

[@Johnnjlee]

Valiant charge is REALLY good in pvp with strongholds. Kind of niche, but within that niche there is no better perk.

[@smakadragon]

Sure, if you are willing to tank damage, but why not just eager edge and get it over with?

[@Johnnjlee]

@@smakadragon eager edge has a cool down and only works once. If you have valiant charge, you can parry an attack, get that kill, parry another attack and heal due to strongholds, and then be able to valiant charge again with no cooldown and without making yourself vulnerable swapping weapons. Eager edge can’t chain kills as easily but you don’t need to be shot for it to work. With eager edge you can run away or engage, but valiant charge is built for chaining kills with strongholds. Depends on what you want to do, but both are good.

[@Sammich88]

Pregananant is actually good with Explosive Light and Repulsor Brace if you're running a Gyrfalcon Hunter. I run it with velocity since with Explosive Light it maxes out the blast radius. This would allow you to do lots of damage to bosses and for everything else, Repulsor Brace will kick in. Hunters have dodge reload or can just reload while invisible to stay safe.

[@aus_jayden7402]

Gyrfalcon Hunter is just about the only build where you DON'T want Destabilising Rounds due to you ALREADY having 100% uptime on Volatile anyway, why waste a perk slot?

[@hhaste]

Envious Assassin is nuts on the heavy GL, with Spikes & Explosive Light. I pair it with Wavesplitter for the quick and easy multikills.. 12 (or more) in the mag at all times is fantastic for a heavy GL, especially after the recent buffs.

[@cerickson017]

Collections gives you Regnant for glitter and cores. You get to choose the masterwork too

[@adummy9664]

Another roll that catches my eye on Prodigal Return is Envious Assassin + Harmony, get some kills with other weapons to load extra grenades and then when you swap those grenades deal 20% more damage, could probably put in some really good burst damage if you run Spike Grenades as well instead of Disorienting Grenades.

[@JG54206]

The bow with wellspring/headstone could be awesome for generating abilities if wellspring will proc off kills from shattering a headstone crystal but I doubt it will.

[@--Canon--]

9:07 Why extra blast radius? Wouldn't you want more velocity for better DPS?

[@itcheebeard]

I only need 1 more pattern, the auto rifle. For the first two weeks I just focused the random defiance weapons for 1 engram. Every ten engrams I'd go to helm and spend them all. Seeing as at the time I needed ALL of the weapons and I'd tend to get a red border every 3 or 4 engrams I ended up with nearly all of them at 3 or 4/5 and was able to finish up all but auto rifle this week

If you are going for a single target damage gl dont you want to decrease your blast radius as much as possible since it is increasing your impact damage?

[@Tsukidal]

Personally I find Envious better than Auto-loading in Legend difficulty (-10 power or more) or easier since getting a single kill partially loads the weapon if you swap to it, notably most valuable on a special GL I haven't done master content or much raiding, so I can't gauge from experience, but I imagine Auto-loading is mostly only better when it takes longer to get two kills than it does for the perk to proc
