If you're gonna solo Vesper's Host, don't do it on a Hunter.

[@Kristoffoerin]

For warlock on 2nd encounter - Use rain of fire boots with wardcliff coil and song of flame on solar subclass. Song of flame provides same benefits as heat rises to allow two icarus dashes in a row. Keep using icarus dash to reload wardcliff. Run triple arc surge mods. Consistently was able to beat the boss in two damage phases solo.

[@TargetSniper365]

THIS. Datto didn’t do good enough research

[@CaptainFrood]

In addition, you can run Ashes, Char, and Eruption, and then get a single snap off just after the Servitor splits, and then go into wardcliff The ignitions will chain across all 10 servitors for the entire phase. Even with the huge DR they gave repeated ignitions it’s still a massive chunk of damage for no effort

[@gamingandchill4186]

Hynra video covers something for this. The free double I-Dash in SoF Super does not work with one of the glide types for some unknown reason, so make sure you don’t use the wrong one. I forget which one, but he mentions and shows it

[@gamingandchill4186]

@ after the first two ignitions, no not really. My friend tried chaining ignitions, and the damage after like 3 of them was locked at 224

[@CaptainFrood]

Sure, the damage of each ignition on each target eventually drops really low But there are 10 targets igniting, and each one hits 10 targets, so the first chain set of ignitions does 100 ignitions worth of damage. The second set does another ~40, and the third set does another dozen or so. Not bad for one snap Even after it falls off completely, each round is still 10x10x0.03=3 times the damage of chaining ignitions on a regular boss without DR

[@Hi_Im_Saber]

As a Hunter main who did SF this, what ended up working for me is playing in a more active and offensive role rather than defensively. Playing defensively meant too many damage phases which meant I was exposing myself to more outcomes of dying. I know people recommend Lost Signal + Anarchy but you should take this a step further and grapple punch the boss to apply Unravel and Ascension to easily apply Jolt. Both of those will help with passive damage but also in feeding you Super + Transcendence energy because you should be pushing for 3x activation on both of those.

A huge tip I have for Corrupted Puppeteer: When you're doing the prep phase, please utilize the SUPPRESSOR augment to DISABLE the Radiation Shields; but DO NOT kill them, as that will just respawn them again with Radiation Shields intact. Removing the Radiation Shields will make any clones coming into the Core Rooms far less of a threat to worry about. I got my Solo Flawless run completed a few days ago. Disabling the Radiation Shields were an absolute clutch play during preparation. Hope this helps anyone attempting their Solo Flawless! Good luck Guardians!

[@APolygon]

A possible (be it very scuffed and scary) strat for puppeteer on Hunter is to run Lament with a VS Velocity Baton rolled with attrition orbs. Put on facet of purpose with your Golden Gun super and you get restoration from all the orbs you generate. Idea being you tag the boss with Velocity Baton then swap to lament and get healing from both lament damage and your orbs. You can juuuust about get by focusing on the boss alone and mainly worry about repositioning for lightning strikes. This strat also pretty much guarantees a second super if you keep swapping back to your GL to keep attrition orbs going.

The big issue trying to solo the final boss as a hunter is I want to be able to do good damage, but I also want to survive. Those things feel mutually exclusive in that fight because there is no passive healing you can get with a hunter kit on its own unless you try Solar Resto and get solar weapon kills. And to me it just feels so sluggish and boring! The best damage ive gotten, without the flawless clear has by far been done with arc staff + star-eater. Having DOT soooo helps with this boss so you can focus on the clones.

BIG TIP FOR TITANS: On second boss, pop transcendence nade on the servitors as you use your super.

(Also use hail of the storm with the tonic for more damage if you don't already)

[@federal5842]

On my solo flawless for Hunter, I used (for damage) Prismatic, Stompees and Grand Overture with a Lost Signal (Auto loading + Unrelenting) and Solar Rocket Side Arm (Heal Clip + Incan). The reason for this is that 1. Grand Overture is a very safe option for dps if you don't have/are comfortable with Anarchy 2. Stompees while being an overall damage loss, are VERY nice to have. They not only help you move out of the lightning attacks faster, but they keep you in the air so if for some reason the whole arena is unsafe, you should be fine. On top of that, while you are in the air (which is a lot) you get 30% Damage Resist. 3. You do not have healing options in this fight as said in the video. With the Weakening Grenade Launcher artifact, you can tag the clones a few times with Grand Overture and easily finish them off with Lost Signal, giving you a healing boost when you kill the clone. Rocket Sidearm is nice to have just as a safety net, but I only used it once during my damage. Also said in the video, just do it on Titan and Warlock if you can, it is a lot easier and less stressful if you do. Unfortunately for me, I can ONLY play Hunter.

Leading up to final boss damage, if you pick up an augment and walk into the nuke dunk room (and do it with each of the 3 in the same room) you can create an infinitely respawning supply of yellow bar vandals in the opposite "lift" room. Marauders, dregs, and Servitors will stop respawning once youve killed them all, but the augment vandals will continuously respawn, which allows for some Star-Eater farming, ammo, etc. If you can get all 3 to spawn close enough together (by killing all 3 at the same time), you have some options to fully fill your armor charges as well.

For my solo flawless on hunter, the corrupted puppeteer. I used wormhusk with combo blow prismatic for the bottom section, with a heal clip heliocentric, nothing too special. But right before damage I switched to a star eater/galanor class item, farmed orbs, then started damage, immediately popped transcendence and golden gun, then killed the puppets with microcosm, and focused exclusively on dodging lightning until the puppets spawned, and used winters shroud/stasis melee to go invisible with stylish, used reaper/kinetic siphon for orbs to leave on the ground just in case, and focused exclusively on killing puppets and dodging lightning. With microcosm, I would usually get a second super, so after dunking the nuke, I would swap to celestial and then use that instead of star eaters, (tip, I had the easiest time hitting the boss with celestial when he ducked down to summon puppets) then I would just sit in the room, only dealing damage with microcosm when it was safe, constantly checking for clones and lighting until damage was over. Swapped back to wormhusk combo blow and repeat for 6 more phases. Took 56 minutes. I hate this dungeon

Me watching this with a smile on face as I completed my flawless yesterday lol. For tips: For the servitor boss, when you’re about to use suppressor to do DPS please watch out for integration as it can still take you out as the boss is deconstructing. This stopped so many of my runs. For last boss, I would suggest using suppressor for the bomb rooms ESPECIALLY the RED ROOM. Barely any coverage there to hide from apart from crouching in the back behind the boxes. Don’t suppress and kill the clones just have their radiation taken away with suppressor so that’s its easier to move around without worrying about radiation. USE TONICS FOR THE SERVITOR BOSS it helped my dps a lot. Take your time with it, there’s no limit time on this dungeon especially for the last boss. Hope this helps you with your flawless.

A slept on way of combatting the radiation clones that I’ve not heard spoken about: Enemy ai manipulation, the clones, being melee types, will ALWAYS prioritize getting straight to you. (Side note this does require line of sight aggro which is confusing to understand) 1. Maintain elevational distance, don’t be on the same level as them. 2. Keep moving, even if you find the clone that has the nuke, DO NOT STAND STILL. In fact create distance from it, guide the radiation clones AWAY from where you need to be. 3. You *do* want to prioritize speed, however, speed should not cost you your safety, you have a whopping 40 seconds to get that nuke into safety. These little guidelines helped me get my flawless, I hope they’ll treat you just as kindly

I did solo it with karnstien and a glaive on warlock. Also just put on heat rises, even if you use speaker sight it will still plop a turret in front of you after you eat the healing grenade, and it just negates the entire premise of those evil yellow lightning once you float around.

For super choices i would like to add that you're going to benefit a lot from slowing/freezing effects from your stasis nades and supers. This boss has the same amount of HP as the witness, you just get to do damage to 9 targets at the same time. Over the duration of the phase, the little bosses keep drifting apart a little, but you can help keep them within the aoe of whatever you're using by freezing them. This is the big reason why the titan stasis super with star eaters is sometimes capable of a solo two-phase, it makes itself more consistent on top of the aoe damage.

Although not necessary, one thing you can do to make the first encounter slightly smoother (albeit slightly longer) is, when you have a nuke and a brig is still up, use Anarchy, an area-denial gl, and other DOT sources (e.g. unravel, transcendence grenades). Periodically drop the nuke, shoot Anarchy and gl, apply DOT, then pick up the nuke again. This helps preserve the timer for a bit longer.

[@ahawkone8850]

For the first encounter I HIGHLY recommend Parasite. It is fantastic for deleting the yellow bars and killing brigs. Just make sure to also equip a solar holster mod. For final encounter on Hunter, I have had some very real success using Lament of all things. I was messing around on a CP I saved trying different strats and I got through three full cycles of mechanics and DPS with Lament. My play was sub par, and where many many players will get two (occasionally three) golden guns during this fight, I could not quite get my second one up in time. So with that disclaimer, after three phases and about 20min I had this boss half dead and I didn't feel stressed. Nor did I use ANY gear swaps. Another crucial piece for Hunters is the Strand Man Decoy Dodge. It is as good as or better than Invis in this fight and it has saved my ass many times in various nuke rooms where even an Invis wouldn't have saved me. Trust me, just put it on. As for Lament... Lament heals you, and being a sword it makes doing the nuke rooms a breeze because it will instantly delete the nuke clones. It's also extremely ammo efficient and does decent damage given that it heals you. The only hangup is that you MUST have a good eye for when lightning is striking. If you are someone using a cheese spot to avoid having to deal with lightning, this strat won't work for you. The idea is to run Prismatic with Celestial GG, either one of the area denial GLs, your favorite SMG, and Lament. For me personally it's the Salvation's Edge SMG with Slice and Chaos Reshaped (dodging a lot means Slice is up all the time), I also have an Attrition Orb Void special GL from the dungeon. The Attrition Orbs are nice, but they aren't required. Mostly they will help you get your super back and keep your solar surges active longer. But it isn't a required perk to use this strat. It takes some practice, but this is the way I'm going to be getting my clear. It felt safe, consistent and stable.

[@Andrew19972]

"Don't do it on a Hunter" Ah yes another dungeon that is the hardest for solo Hunters mains

[@wintereclipse3263]

For the most part dungeons ain't hard on Hunter. Shattered, Pit, Grasp, Prophecy, Duality and even Warlord are pretty easy. The trouble ones are Spire, Ghost, and Vesper. Spire though overall is only tough at the end it's probably one of the easier dungeons up till the final encounter but invis can help a lot. Ghost first is easy 2nd is kinda tough but you get a lot of wiggle room while using invis but 3rd is definitely a problem. And Vesper. Now first encounter is easy 2nd is long but overall not bad it's 3rd were things get annoying. Especially since arguably the best subclass to run would be void. The subclass which currently has the good supers disabled and only it's god awful super available. This is a pretty big problem but I've seen Hunters do long but easy solo's. Generally you can safely with very little issue go for like 10 phases. You'll basically never die but you'll be there for a good like 2 hours. Boring as hell but possible if you want. You could go aggressive and do 2 phases if skilled 3 if not but you won't get many good healing choices outside of void with devour and invis.

For all you other hunter mains, for the prep phase for final boss, try Gravitons forfeit for the clone identification especially the red room. Get a clone low health, and then stick them with a magnetic grenade with weakening to proc invis for 7 seconds. This will make it so you have enough time to scan each and as youre coming out of invis should be killing the correct clone. Safe! Led to my clear (then hot swapped to dmg loadout going up stairs).

Prismatic all the way for Locks for Servi encounter, abuse Getaway artists to have stasis and electro buddies helping you out and you are a one man army for dealing with ads.

(after solo flawless) for any titans: A class item with inmost light and ALPHA LUPI (I know it’s weird) is the best thing to run for survivability against the puppeteer because you can heal a third of your health just for using thruster, which you get almost every 10 seconds

[@anth3lion344]

Titans at the first encounter: Cuirass T-Crash can one shot the first three brigs and can take out the final brig when its health is about 2/3 or less. A knockout + consecration set up can easily net you your super back well before each nuke spawns, I used monte carlo for the regen + transcendence generation and a grenade launcher to weaken the final brig. Disclaimer: as cuirass damage is technically unintentionally high, I do not know if this will still be viable IF and when bungie addresses it. Also, if you're taking advantage of this episode's artifact, don't forget about the tonics, especially for the second encounter since one of them further increases the damage bonus to shattering crystals + frozen enemies provided by one of the perks.

[@whoneedbag5264]

If your doing the load out swap make sure you have special and primary in the same slot, if you swap a load out that has a special energy weapon to with a kinetic, you lose all ammo for it. Also it’s better to stack orbs with no surge and then swap to your surge load out when your in the elevator, more time

[@tylormobley4482]

As a warlock player, IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THIS STRAT, Using Heat Rises, Rain of Fire, icarus dash, and ward cliff with song of flame is an easy solo 3 phase, if not, a 4 phase. Using Sunbracers at the start and simply swapping to rain of fire while keeping heat rises up with SoF active deals HUGE damage since you can fire off constant rockets. Just a simple hop is all it takes to Reload warcliff and easily get off 4-5 volleys for an easy 3 phase. Using SoF, Ember of Ashes and Ember of Char for constant ignitions, even if they lose out on damage is still passive damage.

For extra survivability on hunter (or in general) you can use a non-exotic heavy weapon and run buried bloodline for devour, makes a big difference.

Some more tips for the final boss: -Risk runner is gods grace, both in the red room and during dps. -You have no time limit. Take it slow and play save. -in the first 'upstairs' room, adds with infinitly spawn until tze boss leaves. YOu can use this to farm heavy and super -You can stick the immune boss with the season gl for infinite heavy buildup -After you break the shield, if you find yourself missing ammo, super etc, don't go to dps. Instead Let one buff be destroyed in the second burn room. This will cause the carries for said buff to infinitly respawn = Orbs and heavy -During dps, don't hesitate to kill the gun copies. 2-3 gl shots should kill them and it's 100% worth it -For chest mods, run 2 arc 1 solar resist during the prep phase.

21:45 This simple realization just completely changed how I'm going to approach the second half of DPS, since that's where I was dying most often.

[@aurens.]

tip for suppressor: the clone doesn't need line of sight AND you can detonate it immediately when you drop it. so for the raneiks boss fight, you can drop the clone in safety behind cover, and if you hold fire while you drop it, you'll start shooting instantly. it will usually detonate before you're even done doing the animation.

[@Mr_Legit1303]

I’m a hunter main but I swapped to a Titan for contest mode and I’m thinking that’s what I’ll attempt solo with lol For the servitor boss if you’re running an energy primary and a special gl I recommend switching to a rocket sidearm as you get teleported, it’ll one shot the shanks. Area denial frames are nice but sometimes the aoe will “stun” them and they can start moving erratically if you don’t outright kill them. Seen them back up from it but also seen them ngaf

[@SnowZelli]

Try Stylish Executioner + The Call sidearm with the perk Slice for the boss room if you need to take a minute to recover health. Dodge to proc slice and then whatever you kill makes you invisible.

[@pyroelionai9537]

Hunter's pure solar build I feel has some potential here because it has pretty regular healing available. I would probably run that if I try this with dragon's breath for got dot and aoe in one, then just jump around like a madman. This was my strat for season of the wish with the seasonal content and it usually did pretty well. I'd be interested to see how it would fair here.

[@OneFastRaccoon]

haven't done it myself yet on hunter, waiting for attrition orbs velocity baton, but i saw a run here on youtube of someone doing it with velocity baton and lament, two sources of healing that don't require kills. offense is the best defense

[@Khorou]

under the stairs in the red room is complete protection from everything, if you put op in the left fridge it will be in the thing right next to the stairs

[@monkeyconvoy3097]

!!PSA!! There is a bug if you stand too close to the bunker door once u deposit the nuke to extend the boss damage you will insta-die to the wave. It seems to kill u fairly fair away from the door so I would stand by the nuke deposit until the wave passes, then run up to the door before it opens as to lot loose sweet dps.

[@polarisangel6154]

[@fintiniganlucille5547]

t crash can split the servitors far apart so it's better to use behemoth

[@matiasgaming4971]

Honestly, as a Hunter, the first two encounters weren't that bad. But the final boss... I spent like 20 minutes or so doing the mechanics leading up to damage, as most healing builds on hunter requires killing something, which is not easy to do in those lower rooms. I finally got to DPS, and I did my damage, nearly dying multiple times. When I went back down, I simply left to orbit. I was so demoralized by my damage that I gave up. And listen, this isn't my first rodeo. I did the previous three dungeons solo flawless. They gave me stress, but I did manage them

[@sukimoro]

You don’t get it do you? Hunter mains already know, that will not stop us.

[@henrytate857]

I think it absolutely will stop most people who decide to stay on a hunter for this one. Hunters ain’t got hardly any regen on demand. Without that this encounter takes the most ridiculous difficulty spike I’ve ever seen.

[@sukimoro]

@@henrytate857 I Will say, i prefer it that way, i like having the heal be based on skill

[@lankymikstanky]

"don't do it on a Hunter" That sign can't stop me, because I can't read

[@lostnemesis]

Honestly I think for the first encounter there is an even easier way to do it as a Titan, Lost signal, graviton Lance and a envious assassin or envious arsenal bait and switch grenade launcher, on berserker Titan because then banner of war will help you survive the torrent of adds, I pretty much only die when I'm using that set up from just trying to rush something, and because there is no enraged timer if you run out of ammo in your heavy for some reason you can just sit in the middle room for a minute or two using graviton Lance to destroy all of the enemies before you and you'll have Max heavy in no time.

[@lostnemesis]

I have never run out of ammo for my heavy, because I find this to be really generous (as in the nuke doesn't have the timer go down when you're carrying it and you have 60 seconds so you should be fine but try to get to the big brig with at least 34-35 seconds) you can just use your lost signal and graviton Lance to burst down the big invisible guys but if you want to get them done quicker you can just pull out the grenade launcher and you should have enough ammo if you're running at least one heavy ammo finder mod.

[@superman15922]

I literally tried on Hunter, just to see if I can and I had a very veeeeeery weird setup going and failed after 7 phases due to an error booting me to orbit...... My setup literally was an attempt at just constantly staying invis at all times. I used Graviton Forfeit on base Void Hunter with 100 Resil and 100 Strength 2 melee Kickstarts (4 charges - so 1 charged up mod) and well the fabled Velocity Baton with Repulsor Brace and Attrition Orbs. You are constantly within the vicinity of 2 enemies basically at all times anyways, therefore you'll also have Graviton's 800% melee regen bonus basically at all times, which theeeen in turn just means: Oh my invis is about to run out, welp here i ho Trapper's Ambushing again (quick tip, if you don't feel too comfortable with the timing Echo of Persistence just provides a lot more leeway). The strat is simple: use any good kinetic Primary of your choosing that can also deal with chunkyer targets, I'd use an Explosive Payload + Kinetic Tremor's Midnight Coup or an Attrition Orb + Kinetic Tremors Multimach. And dps itself goes like this: 1. shoot Velocity + shoot 2 Anarchy shots. 2. Trapper's Ambush 3. run around while totally invis + reload everything (Graviton gives 100 recov and 100 reload speed as well) 4. repeat. Basically I'm just an invisible little bastard that can't be targeted. I'd be lying if I saif it was a good setup, I'd also be lying if I said I wasn'tsuprised with how well it technically works if you are patient as hell.

[@jordanmorales6251]

Hunter here. I found great success with Levi's + Void. It's a shame we don't have tether but I turned that into a panic button. SES with 6x Feast of Light and Spectral Blades is great survivability if shit goes south. You'll only die in boss room if you're truly messing up or got unlucky enough that the destiny gods were intervening to kill you. I started dps by killing the first two shooting clones with Levi's, then shooting the boss. Usually hiding around the back left behind the pipe stand/antenna. Jump to the right side and hide behind cover there if lightning struck the usual spot. Hopping avoided melee guys, Levi's stunlocked the boss preventing retaliation, all in all, usually don't get close to dying. Then, when the final clones spawned, I used a Levi shot to kill the one holding the bomb, then used the rest on the boss. If almost dying, pop super, grab orb, run to deposit. If not, just normal cloak, grab bomb, run to deposit. If things are going south in general, just jump in the hole. Not worth the death. If I made it to deposit nuke, I swapped to Outbreak and just shot the boss from inside my safety room. I never died during damage but I did die during set up. My first death was because I didn't have scanner and tried guessing but didn't guess correctly. I also usually don't deposit scanner and didn't have it in my muscle memory to go reacquire it. Second death was to richochet rounds. Turns out, you can shoot the #4 panel just right that it richochets onto a #1 panel. Don't use richochet rounds on your guns for a SF. Third death I died to traps. Something I was surprised datto didn't bring up is that the trap rooms are different based on which room you start with. I agree red room is worse but because the trap room is more dangerous. The angle on the first two traps is setup specifically to murder you if you trigger either of them. If you are EU and live far away from the server, by the time the game registers you triggered a trap, the ping will screw you over because you've already done one second of action into the trap you triggered with no way to respond and you'll die. I learned to just throw a grenade before making my trip, so that avoided all deaths from then on. Next attempt was a success. It is bad and I missed tether but I would ironically say patience is the better move here rather than playing offensively. Ye, you'll get it done in shorter phases but, if you're doing SF, setup will become routine. Prioritize life is better, imo. For stats: 6 phase 2nd, 11 phase 3rd, 3h 20m run

[@mdp720]

I'm wondering if something like Void Hunter wearing Sixth Coyote or a stealth build could pull this off more easily just by staying unseen. Obviously Prismatic is going to be the preference, but if you have a setup where you can vanish constantly, and you're good at avoiding AoE, it might be worth a try: Drop out of stealth, fire off a big shot, vanish again, repeat.

[@-Benja]

Speakers sight pre damage and stag rift on the antena made this boss fight a breeze for my solo flawless

[@kami__]

ATP’s 2+ hours attempt still hunts me

[@benshiperoismyhero9092]

Having solo'd it on a hunter, lament with attrition orbs on the dungeon gl is the way to go. Easy 4-5 phase and never had to worry about heavy ammo. The main difficulty for me was red room.

[@quill-j6s]

Once tether get's re-enabled, I am 100% attempting this using the navigator + tether setup. Feel like it would be way easier using that setup especially for any encounter before final encounter, idk if it's feasible to do during final boss damage.

[@Hustlexz]

Ended up getting mine on solar Lock with stag and grand overture. The antennae nearby is close enough hellion will scorch, it gets fucking scary and you really gotta trust that rift is gonna keep you alive but it got the job done. Tried the tank spot and speakers well we used for contest clear and you just take too many random lightning taps there.

[@expoctme]

Honestly hard agree. I genuinely could not believe that Stag was actually good enough to resist it until I tested it out and was surprised at how easy of a 3 phase it was. This is also at tier 8 resilience as well so that should show you how well it endured it without lulling me. I thank the stars everyday that I saw Esoterickk’s video demonstrating that strategy or I think I would’ve still been sobbing trying to make the pipe still work and it being a 6-7 phase instead.

[@Firelord_Azula_]

👏WORMHUSK👏 swap to nighthawk, pop super then swap to wormhusk for the final boss. Pair this with an attrition orbs smg or velocity baton (i used a heal clip/attrition orbs parabellum) and you'll have no problem staying alive. Recuperation, facet of purpose and hope for maximum heals.

[@gamingandchill4186]

Imma Titan. I’m probably gonna wait till ignitions get fixed, and then use dragon’s breath with a kinetic slot GL for the weaken. Just my classic Solar build with Pyrogale’s/Syntho’s Swap with Flames and Sunspots. Or I might try HoIL with Prism and Shield Throw using a rally barricade as cover on the front right

[@arthas_stormr8ge877]

Wave frame sword with the riskrunner perk is amazing in the second fight

[@itzdan0s477]

It’s about time someone finally admitted that Hunter isn’t as broken contrary to popular belief. Hunter is a rogue like class, which normally equates to Glass cannon. Yes dps is crazy but when solo without rift or well you’ll die unless you play extremely cunningly. Your only crutch is invis and a healing melee on kill. If no ads your dead or of cooldown you’re dead. Especially in endgame content.

[@RandomDude1842]

There’s always that one class that’s gonna suffer for each new dungeon

Hearing that it doesnt use any glitches or cheese spots is the best thing ive heard in a long time. I get so tired of people pretending theyre better at the game bc they cheese everything

[@DrewAlsup]

Been hunter only since day 1. Solo’ed every dungeon till now, and up to this final boss damage phase. It’s just not fun jumping around like a maniac while tickling the boss. I’d rather see 10 more puppets on the field than the one shot lighting all over the place. Gonna keep trying but not looking forward to it like previous dungeons encounters.

[@formerlyknownasmousecopp4367]

For 2nd encounter as a titan i found parasite to be way more effective damage wise. Could very nearly 2 phase relatively consistently

[@thessaloniousbadonkious]

Hunters REALLY need a way to get heals that (a) isn't Wormhusk-tier, (b) requires kills (especially melee), or (c) requires orbs (seriously, many Hunter solo DPS here *require* VS Velocity Baton with Attrition Orbs). They have zero true-neutral heals that the other classes do. Really hope this boss fight shows Bungie that Hunters really struggle in solo endgame content, and even in team content...just take a Titan.

i hope you dont get a lot of flak for this. i think this is big true, but at the same time i feel if they gave hunters some sort of neutral heal. people would maybe just play only hunter. again i hard agree with you, i just dont know how they would add it in a healthy way that makes other classes not feel “useless”. like maybe nerfing the supers for hunter dmg wise ? idk im not on the balance team.

[@beermeplease]

lol Hunters have always been the weakest solo class in the game. I have no idea how Datto is just realizing that. Also, Titans being the easiest isn’t a revelation either. Titans are easily the best class in the game and have been for a long time.

[@MarluxiaKH0014]

@@truv_ my main gripe with this, is that prism Hunter already has the worst supers damage wise tho so idk what more we could lose. Talking about the healer class option which is solar, solar Hunter shouldn’t and frankly can’t keep up with the healing of a Warlock and while I get that, solar Titan has so many ways to heal itself consistently that don’t require kills so why can’t Hunters also be up there? And with void, people say we have invis all the time but it’s not the end all option people think it is since it keeps you out of the fight, you’re not doing any damage while waiting to recover health in invis, and not to mention titans get controlled demolition as another way to heal when not using devour.

[@FrostReach66]

Second boss: Activate prismatic, pop suppressor clone, shoot clone, throw prismatic grenade, shoot parasite (or tractor, which I’m sure works, possibly better, but I never used it), then go to town with glacial quake (preferably with boosted hail the storm) and it’s an easy two phase. Even better if you can slip a consecration slam in before or after

[@lostnemesis]

I'm going to make a comment on my thoughts on this dungeon, With a fire team it is probably the funnest dungeon I have played. Legitimately I think it was the funnest dungeon I played after I knew what I was doing cuz I went in raw dog with my friend and we just guessed a lot of things and we did great got to the final boss did all the mechanics but we need someone else because I was not going to do four DPS phases because my friend was only going to do 200,000 in two phases, As an FYI I play Titan the second time I did the dungeon on Titan I did 9 million damage the first time I completed it I did 6 million and that was fighting through ignitions because I didn't realize they were broken at the time, As a solo experience I hate this dungeon with a burning passion, it is really funny with friends it is the best dungeon I have played. Without friends I can't stand it because the second boss I agree I think it is a fun time the last one the health bar is too big you need to keep moving too much and it feels like when you make that little mistake if you don't use a cheese spot you just ruined it because now you know for the next 40 minutes you're going to be running this... I wonder if my experience would be different if I had anarchy, I just never got around to doing that raid and then Shadowkeep came out and I just left. (I didn't even have the ability to play it for a while I got the stuff pretty much before shadowkeep and then Shadowkeep killing my interest) idk it feels miserable when playing through it because it feels like as the health bars get bigger you should honestly have solo operator always active when you go in Solo. Because that would make it a little nicer, because they're never going to have the multiplicative difficulty modifier for dungeons so at the very least they could do that to make it slightly more bearable.
