I Just Found One Of My New Favorite Warlock Builds! | Will It Build?

[@princecharming3294]

As you shoot the wave splitter, there are two lines on either side of your reticle while aiming in. The outside lines do not change, the inside lines do. It’s very subtle. When the inside lines are small, it’s low power, and as the lines get bigger, there’s more power. When you pick up an orb of power, the inside lines get bigger than the outside lines, meaning you have supercharged battery. The screen also does tell you the power of your shot as another comment has already mentioned. When the waves on the screen are in sync, it’s on low power and as the waves become more chaotic and split apart, the damage increases, hence the name “wave splitter.”Additionally, the tubes on the side of the gun will tell you. When one tube is being filled, it’s on low power, two tubes is medium power, three tubes is max power. I don’t believe there is any visual difference between max power and supercharged with regards to the tubes.

Great observation bro this is one of my favorite weapons thanks for educating people on it

[@ExylioHiveGodOfTheAbyss]

The Wavesplitter is probably one of the best trace rifles in the game(In my opinion). I got mine during the Lightfall campain and it was incredible against Calus. Side Note: WAVESPLITTER NEEDS A CATALYST

[@Avoncarstien]

Special Finisher would slot in super easily, with how much charge you end up having. Dropping Bomber would be fine considering you've got Devour and Child for grenade energy recovery, and you're leaning more into special weapon damage anyway.

[@danielcolt5542]

And veritys

[@Allknowingkeith]

I’m glad you did a video on wavesplitter. I asked a KZbinr last weak what’s the build for wavesplitter and never got a response. Can you do a video on the most important fragment on each warlock. Thanks

[@Avoncarstien]

@@danielcolt5542 right 😅I forget sometimes that part of the point of the exotic is to get your grenade back fast, not just to make it do tons of damage

[@Dayssbefore]

For wavespliter the lines are actually indicators of which tier of damage you’re in, when you aim down sights. One line is base damage. Two lines is mid tier damage. Three or more lines is maximum damage (Supercharge battery). Basically, if the lines are in a “wave” animation you’re at maximum damage.

[@spewnami727]

I was kinda yelling at the screen for a few minutes before 12:34 mark on how this weapon works (currently paused at that mark for the emblem, not for me). This weapon has history in the game that got a massive buff in Witch Queen 3.0(?). It's shooting separate waves, once they synchronize, they deal max damage. Pre-buff, you had to get separate kills. 1-2 red bars fills one of the cylinders/tube ampso on the right, next you had to get 3-6 kills for other cylinder, then finally more kills to get max damage. Orange and yellow bars progressed this even more. This weapon was introduced when add clearing wasn't what it is now... The buff took that time from getting max stacks from 5-9 seconds to almost instantly now. The buff add the catalyst of picking up an orb of power giving max damage.... or so I think (my clan is Too Old to Grind, and at mid 30's, blerp). Just want to add as a side note as this was in my head for awhile while watching this video.... Bungie use to bottleneck exotics into the same function. Before builds with 3.0, many of the exotics of the same gun type did very similar things. Trace rifles were sustained damage = more damage/effects. Kinda still are, but there's variations. Bows were ad clear, but the last 2 exotics are crowd control with ad clear. Good luck guardian!

[@kira20109]

Its been real fun watching all these build videos and a lot of times, im learning new stuff about the game. Brings a breath of fresh air to the game with all these builds.

[@zekeau1]

I love the way to describe your thought process while making these videos, its really helped me understand how to create better builds for myself.

[@3lapsed]

I really love this series. Crowdsourcing unique ideas to make builds that inspire modifications, or use outright. I'm now back to farming Rhulk for the exotic because of these videos

[@jackbrooks3713]

The Grenade Kickstart isn't giving that much compared to just any void kill, and with the build revolving around getting void kills and having Wavesplitter/any void special up and running, you could probably pivot it out to a Special Finisher instead to keep the ammo economy rolling.

[@seabasswallyworld]

Really sucks how so many ability regen mods got nerfed into the ground. Kickstart mods take too many armor charges and mod energy for such a little payoff now.

[@josh___something]

​@@seabasswallyworld I already disliked kickstarts anyways, Innervation/Absolution/Orbs of Restoration gives more energy per orb on average even before, and only cost 1-3 energy. Much better than using Stacks on Stacks for 4 energy and still leaves enough room for some surges.

[@NavionHere]

The consistency in these uploads are amazing!

[@thomasanance]

Cold Front with Attrition Orbs would pair well with this. If you need an orb, switch to the smg, shoot a magazine into an enemy/enemies, and an orb will spawn within the second.

[@stormredz]

You should try to use a shoot to loot weapon in the primary slot with this because then you can activate the Wavesplitter perk without having to go in harms way. Maybe use an explosive payload one + shoot to loot one so you can get double special ammo to feed back into it even more :)

[@andrewbarnes5122]

Battle Scar can roll Shoot to Loot as Kinetic Tremors, and the tremors can pick up ammo for you

[@patsonical]

Wavesplitter screen: 1 wavy line = low power, 2 lines = mid power, 3 lines = max power. The power levels fluctuate as you hold down the trigger, IIRC always starting at low power, then changing somewhat randomly (there is a set pattern it rotates through IIRC) And as you said, the coils on the side are another visual indicator of power level, but they're harder to see in ADS mode than the screen

[@MrTacticalToast]

The lines on the screen determine what tier of damage you're in, 1 line is tier one, a couple lines is tier 2, and a bunch of lines is tier 3 or overcharged. The lines are more wavy while not firing and then bunch up while firing. Hope this helps

[@isTobes_]

Just want to say how much I appreciate your videos and all you do. December and Christmas time are quite tough for me, but your videos make it easier and never fail to make me smile 🤍 keep up being awesome

[@n3crobard]

Scatter Signal with Slice + Wavesplitter is a great combo if you're looking for more risk/reward with the build. Weaken+Sever at the ready is super potent for harder content and helps tame spongier targets. With Commemoration you've always got a backup ad clear option, and Special Finisher really does a lot of work towards supporting double special loadouts.

[@mikey_9160]

Been really enjoying these build videos man. So many great fun builds to mess around with.

[@Ega1412]

Your last Solar Warlock build was just great 😍 now it's my love

[@AustinMsu24]

I found your channel around the start of this season, and these “WILL IT BUILD?” videos have brought me new enjoyment to the game. Preciate the content, brotha!

[@zenno5190]

ever since they buffed the supercharged timer for wavesplitter its been so easy to use and fun, and powerful along with being able to have volatile rounds. fun to run void with

[@flashpoint117]

Love this series. Its so nice to see lesser used equipment showcased!

[@LunarBreakGaming]

Mactics, you're legit the man. Been following and a big fan of yours since the Omni playbook days, and you've never disappointed since. Thank you for all the work you put into your builds and content. It really is appriciated by so many of us.

[@louishanna3519]

I’m loving the content. I recently got back into playing and have been watching your videos to get new ideas of builds and I can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store for us!

[@billmcphee7026]

I'm really enjoying your videos. This is a long season, and running these through the Coil has made Destiny enjoyable for me again. Thanks you.

[@PandaboiSwagg]

I love watching your videos because I learned so much about this game, and I love your gaming community because without you all I’d never know how to play Destiny 2

[@matthewflavell154]

Congratulations on getting married man, hope all went smooth on the day. Got married myself late last year and its been a real good year. Wishing you and your wife all the best this Christmas, look after yourselves and keep up the good work brother

[@AlvYmmot]

These Will it Build videos have taken my heart and I caved and subscribed.

[@benjaminsalomonsen309]

|| = beam fired both frames (||), counts as 1 ammo, either shot or both can hit, but only one can count for damage. It provides a lot more forgivness.

[@yandrak6079]

I like this series, people makes reslly good builds usually theyd be lost but you bring them to us, thanks

[@cmdrmeldoc59]

I used something like this for a few seasons after Void 3.0 came out. I feel like we put too much focus on the Wavesplitter in this video tho. Verity’s definitely «ok» for most content, but does a worse job than Nezarec’s Sin. HOWEVER, if you have a teammate running a similar, or the exact same build, you can clear out entire rooms in seconds with a few grenades that you btw can constantly spam as long as there’s enemies and you have Death Throes up. Your scatter grenades do massive damage, kills with those grenades make things explode again, you have everything stacked to give you grenades faster than you can throw them, and nothing can kill you. Wavesplitter literally just being a juiced up void weapon all the time is only there to snatch a few easy kills to keep that Death Throes going. This is good in the Coil, but if you get it going it can clean house in even harder content.

[@kisamiorenai190]

I'm a little late but basically there's two ways i use to know the difference in powers . first off when your looking at the reticle on the sides of the beams are color coded. blue means low power. green is medium and yellow is high power. the second way to tell is to look at the 3 energy tubes on the side. If 1 is on then its low power. two is medium. 3 is high power. hope this helps seeing it easier. I am glad to see you enjoyed your time using wave splitter since i myself love to use trace rifles in general especially wave splitter and cold heart.

[@ernestm8884]

Man this build is AWSOME!! I just started my Warlock on the Riven mission and swept through it like WOW. i need to get all my amour up to 10. Thanks again for the cool builds.

[@LightCrib2]

I would use a void weapon with Demolitionist on this build (Optative and Unforgiven have a Demolitionist/Golden Tricorn combo)

[@DJ_Snaxx]

These vids are fun to watch, especially if I feel like shaking up my builds and play. There's always something cool to try from this series. gib lil pink derg pls, ty.

[@SwagRabbit]

Anything down below, anything in the entire world ! Really enjoy those Will it Build Videos, Very refreshing content !

[@koa_warrior]

I look forward to these builds daily, thank you for doing these

[@Sc0rched_Karma]

Thanks for putting together another warlock build. I have horrid stat rolls on my Verity's Brow, but part of the fun is farming for better gear. One modification I'm going to test out is getting a kenetic weapon with Osmosis on it (Breakneck AR in my current armory) since we're frequently tossing grendades. A scout or hand-cannon, bow or scout might be better, but I'm working with what I have, heh.

[@ocainesalisbury3176]

I ❤ ur vid I just happened to find u on KZbin and I must say u really help me out by explaining the builds , I'm definitely a warlock man and I play solo 98% of the time so I really look forward to seeing new builds that u test out so I can learn from u just wanna say keep the video coming ,cause I love the ps stay blessed and have merry Xmas and a happy new year u won my subscription peace out

[@636_RunningSolo]

Literally anything. lol! Love the builds man. Thanks for pumping these out!

[@owen2581]

the damage from wavesplitter 3 oscillating damages is random it will randomly pick a damage when its firing and will change while youre firing, the little screen will show how much damage its doing WHILE SHOOTING based on how crazy the lines are going, if they calm all together its low, and if theyre all over the place its doing max damage, and while youre not shooting the lines are just passively moving that means nothing

[@owen2581]

i use wavesplitter a lot, if you need more of an explanation i can explain more

[@l4mpo247]

damn

[@supermansdoctor]

This doesn't count after picking an orb though right? I use it a lot also but only ever when supercharged battery is up.

[@mefcalols4446]

​@@supermansdoctorcorrect. When you pick up an orb it sets the damage to he max setting for a period of time. That's why season of defiance was so good. One orb gave devour, destabilizing rounds, and max wave splitter damage. It was so good. I miss it

[@owen2581]

@@supermansdoctor yeah after you pick up an orb it uses the max setting

[@Xander3270]

What up again mactics love the warlock builds from a fellow warlock main. I’ll definitely be taking advantage of this build with the new sidearm I’ve also got a build of my own for the sidearm the warlock is so awesome with it. Hope to see you do a video with sidearm soon !!

[@gohalos82]

The “will it build” series has helped me replace a number of my set loadouts, keep up the great content 👍🏻

[@sucrose7469]

Love watching your videos and appreciate your hard work. Your shorts are nice quick tips. I am playing this build for fun right now.

[@rtsai9x]

Just some advice with this Exotic weapon, you can optimize efficiency by utilizing the automatic reload that happens when you kick up an orb of power while using the Wave Splitter.

[@Goyo__1]

Glad I discovered your channel back when Solar 3.0 came out. I saw your Solar Titan build and knew that it was gonna be cracked!

[@MrBlueLiqhtz]

wave splitter or collective obligation on an invis hunter using gyrfalcon's or orpheus also is insanely good

[@blvckreaper462]

I find that using the opposite ammo finder gets you more of the ammo you want. i.e. heavy ammo finder spawns more special ammo

[@Mexcatican]

Always love seeing a new will it build vids.

[@monskiller6158]

Glad you figured out at the end how wavesplitter works.

[@t3hpwninat0r]

Chivalric Fire (seasonal ritual sword) can give you void overshield on command, plus it has a ranged heavy attack

[@BlazinblaiserVods]

I believe the version of the beam is based on when you start shooting. When the lines are all together its the weaker version and when they're all seperate its the strongest or vis versa.

[@strategicfrost9689]

The wavesplitter is my most used gun since I came back to destiny 2 and I have never once paid attention to those lines at the back of the gun. If not for you, I would have never known they were there.

[@Parallelocam]

Been playing around with this a few hours, here's some tweaks I made. Obviously depends on your stat versatility and where you can afford 2/3/4 point mods Swapped out echo of instability for echo of starvation. Starvation only gives 8 seconds of devour at most, but it's enough to get the chain going again if your grenade is down or your teammates are stealing all your kills and not making orbs. Was having trouble surviving in nightfalls, feel like this will help. It kind of replaces recuperation (a must on most builds) too. The more you can keep devour going, the more you can get away with lower recov Using a demo primary/heavy is the thing that is necessary in this build IMO. I'm trying out the hand canon something new with feeding frenzy/demo, and it replaces the need for grenade kickstart entirely (along with innervation). I spec'd into stasis siphon with it, so no matter what gun I'm using it can make orbs. A demo/osmosis judgment would be my ideal pick, hand canons are just too good right now. Also, with wavesplitter - since you need to pick up an orb to get it going anyway, and there's really no other need for the armor charge, why not replace all that grenade kickstart stuff into surges instead. Keeping stacks on stacks but swapping reaper for time dilation, it would make wavesplitter better for what you're using it for - DPS. Putting mods into surges would also let you run slightly lower stats, which frees up mod points

[@xxdioxx1]

I've been trying the builds from this series that catch my attention, and I gotta say I'm always impressed.

[@Revvvvvv988]

Loving all the unique builds, including your take on them!

[@marckamenos426]

I legit run this exact build with 1 difference, I can’t remember what it’s called but there’s a fragment or aspect (always get them mixed up) that killing a weakened or suppressed target grants an orb of light, can give you permanent supercharged if your volatile rounds keep popping, you’ll make orbs like crazy and if you add firepower for the grenade then you’ll make 3+ orbs per grenade kill and so the cycle never stops 😂

[@NuclearDedman03]

I will respect the original challenge: wave splitter switches between 3 different firing modes randomly while firing, the modes determine damage ranging from low, medium, and high damage output. the coils on the top right side of the weapon light up to show your firing mode, with 3 being high and 1 being low. the small screen below the sight shows the magazine capacity with a green bar along the bottom of the screen and the waves on the screen show damage mode with a single still line meaning low damage and multiple lines waving out of sync meaning high damage. 2 bars on either side of the sight are also visible when aiming down sights that show what firing mode you are in with a short line meaning low damage and a long line meaning high damage. there is no way of controlling what firing mode the wave splitter shoots in aside from picking up an orb of power as doing so will make the wave splitter fire at its highest damaging mode for a couple seconds. hope this helps :)

[@mobzgaming9777]

My favourite armor set to pair with verity’s is the crota armor because all the ossified plating really pairs well with verity's "tree bark" bit like you said

[@Xander3270]

[@fjodorkaad4403]

If you pick up an orb of power your wavesplitter gets reloaded, so with harmonic siphon you have 100% uptime on supercharged battery and on ammo as long as you have ammo

[@nullpointer5603]

I thought it just reloads from reserves. Does it also generate ammo in the mag?

[@josephmillich5541]

I would probably try to find a good kinetic with osmosis in case you were ever out of special. I have a Lodbrok with osmosis/adrenaline junkie that I usually use as my back up in my grenade builds.

[@H2Mii_]

I love your build videos man , there so many builds to try.

[@b.j.cobbledick4914]

The guy in your twitch chat had it backwards, when you ADS and fire the weapon the screen above your ammo counter shows your level of damage. Theres 1 constant line for weak damage and the color of the line is white. The more lines that spin around that center line means higher damage to a maximum of 4 lines and the color changes to red. The left part of the little screen will also glow brighter in correlation to the beams bright higher damage look. Theres also 3 vacuum tubes on the right side of the gun that will have more tubes lit to show which level of damage youre on if youre not ADSing.

[@arcadiab5799]

I was initially a bit disappointed when looking at how to get Wavesplitter and seeing it was a random world drop thinking I wouldn't be able to try this build for ages but I checked DIM and realised I actually do have it, I've just never used it! So I'll be giving this build a go for sure, it looks very fun and simple to play which I love. Thank you for sharing!

[@wyldingone8092]

Yo Mactics thanks for all the content recently! The buildcrafting nerfs really hit the builds I enjoy hard, but having your builds around has been helpful.

[@glenngoodman4441]

I would swap out Expulsion for Domineering. Wavesplitter's perk - "Supercharged Battery - sustained fire in this mode suppresses targets". Equipping Echo of Domineering will have Wavesplitter auto-reload itself as its suppressing targets (+defeating suppressed targets creates void breach +mobility). Love the series!

[@unboundoni9466]

It has three levels of damage. Level 1 is slightly lower than other trace rifles, level 2 is slightly higher than other trace rifles, level 3 is way higher than other trace rifles. When you start firing the gun starts at level 2, goes to level 1 after about a second, then another second later goes to level 3. After a second it goes back to level 2 and repeats this processes. Every time you pull the trigger it starts at level 2. Picking up an orb of power puts the gun into the level 3 mode for 5 second, but picking up multiple orbs of power can extend this timer up to 10 seconds. the lines just move to show the cycle of damage as to what tier you are in at the time hope this helps :)

[@icesnap5012]

I love the series, really fun and sometimes really good builds, keep going

[@adambrown6669]

Build idea I haven't seen much of anywhere so far. This works for solar or strand with minimal adjustments. The star of this build is apotheosis veil For solar aspects Heat rises and touch of flame Aspects will be ember of torches, ember of blistering, ember of resolve and ember of char. Abilities would be incinerator snap and fusion grenade with healing rift and well of radiance. Loadout will be a little free reign depending on what you're doing and what you prefer. Always have a solar energy weapon that is good at precision kills like drang or a hand cannon. Alternate weapon suggestions would be dragons breath for exotic or a demolitionist rocket And then a demolitionist grenade launcher special like ignition code or anything that has demolitionist for that extra grenade energy and rapid reload during dps. Artifact mods will involve rays of precision, revitalising blast, kindling blast and wished into being. The rest are free reign on what you want. Mod recommendations would be to focus high intellect and resilience Heat rises will solve the melee regen issue and constant ignitions solve the grenade regen issue. Have solar siphon, double heavy handed and a firepower mod, reserves for your heavy of choice and invigoration and recuperation mods on legs as well as a solar surge mod Reaper, time dilation and bomber on legs. For strand Aspects are weavers call and the wanderer Abilities are healing rift and threadling grenades Fragments are thread of transmutation, generation, evolution and warding. Rock a strand weapon with the unravelling orbs and horde shuttle artifact mods a solar weapon with kindling trigger, flint striker and rays of precision And then any demolitionist heavy Same idea with the grenade focus, adjust build for suitable regens. And when you are ready to super a target, drop your rift cast the super and then spam grenades and rockets for 8 seconds.

[@stix7168]

Man that beam is quite whacky

[@BoardAbove]

The description on Wavesplitter refers to its original behavior early in D2. Bungie updated a bunch of exoitcs and Wavesplitter was locked into default damage (2 cylinders) with the orb pick up activting the superbeam (3 cylinders) and adding the supression mechanic. Far as I remember anyway.

[@davepeterson4361]

This was my warlock void build already 😂! Thanks for making these!

[@orovion]

Loved the void warlock wavesplitter during season 20 with the void artifact perks! Sounds like it’s time to drag it out of the vault again

[@MrPixxil]

Love the channel, got me back into trying to build craft again

[@Carfin5]

Void builds still hold up really well even when there’s nothing specific in the artifact boosting them further.
