Every Prismatic Hunter Build I'm Excited About (Speculation)

[@RestAssuredYT]

Just a heads up! These were made before we new about the exotic class items perks. If you all would like I can do an updated version of these with all the new info we do have lol!

[@graysonmiller5615]

FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT COMBO BLOW AND GRAPPLE

[@forrestrichard8133]

That was literally my first thought when I saw the ability list. Basically that whole first build was exactly what I was planning on focusing on first.

[@bot-qw1be]

I can only imagine nighthawk with star eater scales

[@itzLATZ]

???

[@Grassouillelafripouille]

not available unfortunately with the new exotic

[@JBReaper158]

I only have two notes on the builds, the first being that the spirit of the stag is specially for warlocks, as it isn't present on the hunter class item perk list and specially says on rift cast. The other is that the spirit of inmost light does state that it gives improved energy regen and not damage. I love the buildcrafting theory, though, and I'm very glad the algorithm showed me your videos.

[@cojaw5495]

I’m gonna make a solar stasis build on my hunter with duskfield and knife trick. Equip gunpowder gamble and stylish executioner. Charge up gunpowder with knife trick kills throw a ducks field thro gunpowder and let the ignite shatter damage charge up my transcendence which will basically be gunpowder and duskfield on crack and keep going. Ultimate WinterFire build 🫡

[@TheHellreaper25]

Nice plan hopefully bungie dosent put massive cooldowns on everything...

[@lbenson]

My thoughts too! It ties nicely into the solar/stasis grenade you get during Transcendence for bonus thematic points!

[@christiand5954]

@@TheHellreaper25 they’ve already balanced them. They’re existing abilities

[@thecyanpanda241]

How about this one, i call it the Skittles Theorem since everything it uses is confirmed to drop in final shape(no exotic class item theory crafting) Grenade is grapple Melee is knife trick(personal preference honestly, any strong melee will do) Dodge is gamblers for melee restoration Super is Silence+Squall Exotics are buried bloodline and cyrtarchnes fade(woven mail on grapple) Aspects are gunpowder gamble and Ascension Fragments are the class ability recharge one, the one that grants volatile/unrav rounds, radiant on melee, subclass buff on orb pickup(frost armor in this case), and the rest are pretty much optional. First you proc devour with buried bloodline, then use grapple and kill something to gain woven mail, frost armor(from orb) and radiant, as well as volatile rounds and unraveling rounds(paired with tusk this will add clear like a monster). Ability spam as much as you can and charge up gunpowder gamble, and use ascension for amplified and jolt whenever you feel like it. Should be an interesting build

[@silverfortune2205]

I am 100% gonna do a combination blow build but it's gonna be a variation of that where I'm gonna run Ascension (I think it's a potential sleeper pick) and Threaded Spectre. Depending how much melee ability energy the fragment is gonna give, using ascension to get amplified + aoe and gambler's dodge to get more combination blow stacks and refunding class ability in full. This on top of threaded spectre to not only get some heat off you but when it blows up and makes threadlings that's dark damage going towards the fragment for grenade energy along with grapple. The super I'm using is gonna depend, it'll depend on how good the new frost armor is because otherwise it'll be Silkstrike most of the time for woven mail and then either Tether or Golden Gun based on the activity.

[@Th3AuThor1Ty]

With the first build, I was actually thinking of instead of stylist executioner, using threaded specter because since the slope burst would more than likely destroy the specter, it would create the thread lines simultaneously so you’d be able to slow enemies, and they get attacked by thread lines, every single timeplus that with the combination

[@adrenaline0915]

These actually gave me and idea, I haven’t completed it obviously but one of the two exotics would be omnioculus so your smoke bomb could give your team an over shield and then you’d use duskfield for reduced damage while inside its aoe and also something with strand to gain woven male. That’s about as far as I got so far but it’s all about taking reduced damage.

​@MarluxiaKH0014 I'm not sure you're correct you can see in the trailer a titan who uses both khepris horn and hoarfrost at the same time both of those exotic abilities are tied to the bericade

[@andreymavian3400]

@@MarluxiaKH0014 No, as mentioned. Titan was using Barricade related exotic perks and at some point Warlock was using Osmiomancy perk themselves. My guess is that the perk pool is going to be huge and some perks are going to be shared between classes when they aren't tied to a specific ability (barricade, dodge, specific super), otherwise they will still belong to their respective classes. Hard to say what the proportion will be though. An example: there likely to be a Celestial Nighthawk and Star Eaters perks. Celestial will belong to hunter because it works only with Golden Gun, but Star Eaters is shared as bungie said because it boosts all Supers. My main worry is how are they going to balance all that eventually. I understand they want us to go all nuts on abilities, but the potential certain combinations is only going to push the gap between weak exotics and strong ones further and will make so people on LFG will demand a certain exotic roll from you which you might not have because your RNG sucks. And on top of that, how are they even going to go about Surges and artifact perks?

[@forrestrichard8133]

I love that every hunter thought basically the same thing when we saw the prismatic abilities. That first build is exactly what I was dreaming up myself. Definitely gonna be what I go for first. Probably run it with tether or golden gun. Being able to basically combine gyrfalcons, assassins cowl arc build (with slow), Calibans hand, Synthoceps, and grapple melee assassins cowl build all into one is going to be insane. I’m only sad we can’t throw whirling maestorm into the mix. But oh well this is going to be so nuts. I can’t wait.

[@Deeeeve]

Im going Ophidia Spaeth for the starting kit. Igniting frozen enemies on repeat.

[@matiasgaming4971]

I calculated 1.2 million damage per melee on bosses if you stack everything melee related on Prismatic Hunter, which is uhhh... not okie dokie

[@lucaricci1987]

Watch this get nerfed before the wormgod berserker build, the one that’s over 999,999 + 999,999 per grapple melee

[@lachydragneel]

Here my build Super: golden gun or arc one. Dodge: arco or reloading (i like my instant reloads) Jump: Triple ----------- Melee: withering blades Grenade: grapple ------------ Aspects: gunpowder gamble Ascension ----------- Fragments For now the plan is to use the more general ones and see the extra that get relised. ----- Loop Wither blades to charge gg and to activate a fragment. Grapple in for Ascension Gunpowder gamble reset

[@Grassouillelafripouille]

I'm curious about a duskfield stylish executioner build with renewal grasp, frost armor with restoration from solar might be very good

[@NoTalker_]

Can't wait I'm interested now

[@Soon22400]

My biggest hope rn is that Combination Blow does buff Grapple Melee. It could contend with Strand Titans single target damage.

[@RandyVoortman-gz7pc]

People also forget that stylish executioner doubles melee damage if you go invis from a debuff kill. So combination blow x3 + double damage from stylish.

[@thecyanpanda241]

​@RandyVoortman-gz7pc I think activating grapple cancels invis tho, I might be wrong tho

[@FormerPotential]

For a really weird and specific build you can use threaded specter and winters shroud and have a class exotic with radiant dance machines and bombardiers. I would say marksman dodge with forbearance so you still have lots of light damage. This allow lots of close up damage with slow and threadlinfs as well as mass add clear. Also probably decent for a weird pvp build

[@ginganinjav5220]

pretty sure that RDM don't work with the threaded spectre aspect or winter's shroud--I've tried them--the effect only happens on the first dodge of the chain

[@FormerPotential]

@@ginganinjav5220 dane i thought it used to. Must've been patched too bad

[@nuk3beefy094]

While you wouldnt need to go assasins cowl, you can put that and synthos on with the new exotic class items. To get a bigger melee boost, and heal on melee kill and you can still put on calibans to get the ignitions bc I believe you can put the class item and another exotic armour piece on

[@Sunshadows5601]

I’m going to chase cloaks with: 1- celestial/chorus 2-star eater/celestial 3- star eater/ sinthoceps 4- gyrfalcons/ orpheus rig About the builds will be based on void and solar, the others i dont think the supers are good and the aspects like ascension and winters shoud are garbage then i will have to choice 3 aspects and best melees ( knife trick, combination blow and threaded spike) the shurikens could be useful on high level content for unstop and overload but i think thats it.

[@fridaysatjons1097]

Threaded specter is super underrated. It’s like pseudo invis in pve, I highly recommend just trying it out before final shape releases.

[@justincampbell1213]

DIM

[@Diehardgamer2001]

@galaxybrainkid1222 true, but DIM doesnt work mid activity, and its slower, and some times fails unfortunately, i doubt there any technical limitation to adding more loadout slots, so i feel like they should just add more, maybe add them in into guardian ranks as some incentive since they did nothing with it since its release.

Idk if u mentioned this but stylish allows u to weaken on melee hit when invis so u should be able to chain it without the need of winters shroud.

[@RH1N082]

Caliban's Hand won't really work, if you're using Combination Blow, since the exotic is dependent on Proximity Knife. Personally, for higher end content, I'll be looking to pair a similar setup with Synthoceps (or Wormgod's) with Karnstein's, for a near infinite loop of restoration, given the aggressive nature of the playstyle.

[@Frost-hw9bh]

he is using the class item for it, the class item will proc ignitions on any powered melee final blow so it works for any melee, you can see it use in the gameplay showcase.

[@RH1N082]

@@Frost-hw9bh Ah, gotcha. Thanks for shedding some light on it. Didn't realize the original perk had been modified to trigger off of any charged melee final blow. That's crazy lol!

[@Frost-hw9bh]

No problem, most of the subclass effects are being changed to be universal with prismatic, and that includes the class items, we don't know what all is changing but all classes will be able to use the class item combinations it seems.

[@engineeeeer7]

I think the focus on class item exotic kills these videos. We know too little to count on these. We don't know acquisition or rarity or how many perks there are. We also know we only get half of each perk but not how they're weakened. Most of us will be using normal exotics for a while I'd wager.

[@hyperlegs3163]

Why would you take synthosepts over liars handshake. Synthosepts buff is 165% Liars handshake is 200%

[@JBReaper158]

It's the difference between 165% buff on every hit when surrounded and a 200% buff on every other hit. It'll be situational, and the specific dps will need to be tested for both eventually

[@Zero_DaHero]

Void + Strand + Arc Exotics - Assassin's cowl and Cyrtachne's facade Super - Silkstrike Class ability - Gambler's Dodge Jump - doesn't matter Melee - Combination Blow Grenade - Grapple Aspects - idk all of them yet

[@ForgivenNotForgotten]

Why does he have Titan exotic arms with hunter?

[@nobodyscomment929]

New exotic class items that come with the Final Shape will have the potential to role with two exotic perks that can be from any of the 3 classes. Of course, the perks will be weaker version than the original exotics and will not necesarily have their full effect either. For instance, a class item with assasin cowl perk will only make you invisible on powered melee kills and not grant you the bonus health.

[@smallentales317]

Invis is dead in my opinion. New prismatic can roll with assassin's cowl invis and gyrfalcon on the same class item, stylish is unrequired because voild abilities are just lacking in comparison. Grapple + most over melee abilities is better than everything on the kit, now add acension and gunpowder gamble and you practically have 3 aspects at a time. Even if you prefer stylish, you can use acension as a class ability that makes you invisible due to the free damage you get with it. Add buried bloodline to both builds gives you devour and since there is no prismatic weapons in the game you can focus your weapons to be void and still gain all the benefits. If im missing something explain
