Sorry for the few bits of visual lag in this. Tweaking some recording settings after the pc wipe and trying to get things right again.

[@lightninthetitan8801]

Bro do it as a titan or I disapprove

[@sukkisukki7663]

Yo brother you gotta hit him with a solar ability to debuff him thanks to the artifact before going rocket then fusion

[@aidenfields6694]

Your fine man

[@tekad7237]

love that you kept in parts where you made a mistake. shows that you don't have to do everything 100% perfect and its ok to take things slow 👍 great vid :)

[@digitalbaka7722]

I actually like that your run is scuffed. Shows that persistence and problem solving are more important than hitting everything perfect all in one go. 11/10 realism!

[@ryanrobins945]

A couple of things to note. Rotation is grenades, d breath, fusion, two ignites, then repeat. Prefire grenades at boss while getting totems. Also keep big orbs on floor before popping well. The faster you get eyeballs the more time you have to get totems. Takes 7-8 secs per totem. For second boss use back two totems first because ammo primarily drops front two.

[@Basically_Veggies]

"big orbs"?

[@ryanrobins945]

@@Basically_Veggies If you have the artifact on that let's you create orbs when close to super on ability kill it still works even when you have well fully charged. The ability kills will spawn 3 larger orbs of light which gives more super energy.

[@bull3t209]

if you are looking to do this during season of the wish i got a couple thing for you. -make sure you melee ability or grenade any boss before shooting it, because revitalising blast weakens them and significantly helps your damage, additionally space your melee and grenades out because you dont want to waste your weakens all at once -if you're interested, you can use slice instead of overflow on the scatter signal. because using the "torch" artifact perk makes it so shooting a strand debuffed target makes them take more damage while you are radiant. so if you run out of weakens you have an extra damage bonus up your sleeve for just using your class ability, since you are practically always radiant this season -if you are having trouble controlling ads during damage, dont forget dragons breath leaves a line of fire when you shoot it, so orient yourself so the ads are between you and the boss. when you shoot your dragons breath the fire line will kill ads and let you concentrate on your rotation

[@cheukinator]

Just started playing warlock with sunbracers and your commentary on how to keep restoration up is so useful. Thank you.

[@EvanFB]

Thanks man! Great guide. I got it solo first try this way, not flawless but good enough for me. Few deaths are fine ha

[@Knuckkles4u]

Matics love your work! Your really explain the gameplay where anyone can understand it . Quick note the boss wasnt burning where you were locking him up. It was the new launcher it leaves a trail that builds up the longer you dont use it but it will burn u as well. So just step to the side lol

[@deangaudet]

at the start of DPS when your apex predator has two rockets in it, the reconstruction timer starts when you fire the first of the two shots. this is likely why you saw sometimes 2, sometimes 3 fusions per rocket. so optimal pattern is probably start with 2x rocket 2x fusion, then repeat 1x rocket 3x fusion.

[@notsogoodgamer3115]

if your dive hits a enemy and you get a scorch explosion it will give resto x2 at like 12 secs as long as you have heat rises so eat nade snap then dive on top of enemy

[@cheukinator]

Useful thank you. Eat grenade, snap, dive.

[@joecanada777]

I think you have to kill them with that ability though? the problem with that method is if the snap kills them you get nothing. then you need to get that kill quick with solar weapon.

Nice run. Yeah, those 1st 2 bosses like to be behind stuff. Gonna try for my solo flawless this week. Warlock first.

[@MrDarkKnight91]

I used the same load out just swapped out calus for Epochal Integration and riptide with chill clip and auto reloader. Works well too. Great video. Leaving in the mistakes definitely makes average players feel it’s possible! 🔥🙏

[@joecanada777]

I have the perfect scatter signal and still can't drop riptide with chill clip - its just so good. However I think if you ran severing on your artifact this seasons fusion may be stronger.

[@donutmerchant8393]

@@joecanada777wellllll maybe but there’s also the two stasis perks that amp up shatters by a lot and those probably hit way better since you can use the extra 5% buff too from artifact which is kinda crazy.

[@vapesnob7603]

I’m pretty sure you can consume your grenade for heat rises after you’ve procced sunbracers if you didn’t have grenade to consume. So loop is: snap kill for sb proc. Consume nade for heat rises. Phoenix dive to kill already scorched enemies. Phoenix dive kills count as melee kills if the original scorch was applied with melee. The melee procs torches(radiant) and singeing(300% class ability regen while scorching). Radiant procs artifact mod that causes ignitions and scorch to unscorched enemies.

[@bigglenator]

I love the format of these videos and the narration. I would love to see more.

[@sudbuddiesexteriordetailin9843]

Bro, I am so happy THIS IS YOUR JOB NOW!!! Congrats and THANK YOU!!!

[@2po50]

I remember when i first saw these kinda titles, it gave me hope.. but then i realized i just don't have brain capacity to track 4 different timers, buffs, debuffs, slay adds at the same time and do dps

[@stephenkish9992]

I can’t get restoration to work I still die almost instantly 🤷‍♂️

[@oots4790]

As a player who came in during lightfall ive always appreciated and been so impressed by your content. Been focusing on really starting to get some solo flawless dungeons now that i have an arsenal built up. I love you kept in your mistakes. Like even the small stuff like not reloading the rocket, I beat myself up too much for that kinda thing lol. Like dude it's fine. If mactics makes that mistake every now and then, then you can too. Thanks for all you do!

[@mirko241]

Gotta say, I feel sorry for you. Sure many QoL changes have happened over years but as an expansion, Lightfall is one of the worst :D Glad you still stuck around and are enjoying the game!

[@SirRazzy]

Solo Flawless guides are always good, your Ghosts one helped me get rank 11, so thanks for that :) . Will you be doing a Titan one in future?

[@teafixation]

Yo! Absolutely love your videos Mactics! Keep it up! Also, any chance on a build guide for raids/master dungeons featuring Apotheosis Veil?

[@ImTooota]

I use the same build and I feel like an easier combo to keep your restoration is to eat the nade, then jump and melee an enemy and phoenix dive as soon as you melee. This will refresh restoration and its even better if you phoenix dive into the enemies as sometimes the scorch applied by your melee and phoenix dive will ignite and refresh your restoration even easier.

[@brothertonk09]

thanks for explaining this. I could not figure out this build for the life of me. Really appreciate the video

[@GrandmaDestiny]

Very good guide! Super stoked to fix my ability to get Resto. Thank you!

[@SavathunsThirdBall]

Ohhh a nice build vid to watch before work!! Thanks Mac!!

[@Xander3270]

Yooo what up man glad to see you !! Things are looking great 🫡🫡 you’re a legend !

[@Twiista15]

Your tips and guides are amazing! I just did it solo with this warlock build! Thank you ❤️

[@absolutedynamite4979]

What light level were you at completion?

[@Twiista15]

I think 1819, 1810 all armour and 19 power bonus from artifact :)

[@bobdolespen]

This video is great content, it falls along the lines of "if I can do it...(so can you)" and you really can, because that rocket launcher and the fusion are from this season and you can get ammit for incandescent easy peasy and fail forward with a good solar restoration build!

[@erikburgundy1769]

The catalyst shouldn’t change DPS on Dragon’s Breath. It speeds up the timer on your static charge to x5, and it apparently extends the scorch duration on rockets. But you’ll still proc ignitions at the same intervals.

[@Rivr_Shen]

"You could not live with your disappointment, and where did that lead you? Back to me" -Sunbracers probably

[@biiill5259]

When it comes to using sunbracers id actually recommend using them more like your ad clear primary. At least for now one of the artifact mods gives 3 full orbs of light occasionally when you kill with an ability while over 85-90% super energy but it works while full. Plus 5 solar grenades will always outclass any weapon for ad clear potential

[@isaacfuqua7434]

Abilities don’t work with ammo finders though. So if you’re running low on ammo make sure you start using your weapons!

[@MrForce961]

the problem to this is what people refer to as the 'juggler' mechanic for ammo. You get heavy a lot easier using a weapon then you do with using abilities, even easier when using exotic primairies

[@biiill5259]

@@isaacfuqua7434 thankfully dragons breath is really ammo efficient and special drops are plentiful. also with the exception of the first boss all dungeon bosses don’t have a time limit to start damage.

[@biiill5259]

@@MrForce961 dragons breath is incredibly ammo efficient and even when using abilities special ammo drops are honestly a little ridiculously common. Rarely do I run out of ammo

Hey Mactics as usual great guide.... going to try this dungeon at the weekend

[@MykSShadow]

Mactics: You need to respect the Wizards. Me in my head: New song by AC/DC - For those about to die, we respect you

[@hieronymousrex491]

I was a hunter main for years before switching to warlock. Been playing warlock for just about a year now and you literally just made the phoenix dive restoration loop click in my head 😂

[@originalblisz]

I actually like the other solar melee better in that dungeon, because you can snipe thoose eyes and proc bracers off them

[@PrmaFrost]

Got my solo done yesterday because of this guide I'm going to try flawless today

[@JameLoVelyBris]

Thanks now i try my best with your guide

[@bobdolespen]

Can't stress enough what Mactics said about Dragons breath's stagger, it is so huge on the Ogre boss, the fact it's also great damage is just a cherry on top, but keeping that Ogre stunlocked is YUGE...BIGLY YUGE!

[@rentedmule169]

Dragons Breath is a wonderful exotic. Its tne best exotic.

[@stillakilla94]

You should use the artifact perk that gives the fusion unraveling rounds that would make it cool even better

[@blakkermambaa]

Getting restoration x2 is so much easier with the Karnstien armlets now.

[@vendexa5840]

Karnstein armlets rn are so underrated. Pretty much restoration x2 on demand.

[@vercogaming3997]

Honestly I felt like the Sunbracers build was too much management when you're worried about so many other things in the dungeon and it's definitely a skill issue for me (although I have multiple solo flawless runs on other dungeons), but I found the Karnstein build after the rework much easier to maintain.

[@tylermorgan1654]

There are many easier ways to maintain resto and radiant without sun bracers and to keep it up permanently

[@HAVokkkk999]

For the first boss I used Bequest as you can easily get him done in 3 phases if you are surrounded yoo

[@jsturm36]

You can just sit on right side and keep spawning eyes on the right without killing just hang out by the fire you don’t need to move it is way faster kill just use scout for eyes and take out sniper’s after you get all orbs

[@grrtt_]

I feel like this build could honestly work with every dungeon

[@rajeshnamadas1769]

Matics never disappoint! Now I can try my flawless 😊 keep helping bro...❤

[@Kurggen]

Love you build vids! I absolutely rely on them. I notice you have Artifice chest, legs and class armor. I have none so I was wondering what is in your second mod slot on those pieces? It looks like concussive dampener but it's not. Besides that mod isn't available for legs or class item. Could you explain? Thanks again!

[@BOONNGOO]

Watching this hurt my soul because my fireteam took like 8 phases to kill the second encounter boss because my teammates were either using dmt for dps and not their heavy weapon or they were running double primary and not using their heavy weapon

[@jeremyclark12]

Awesome video! Keep it up! More!

[@Equivalate]

Would love to see Xur sell a Calus Mini-tool. Yet to get my hands on its craft pattern. :/

[@cmdrmeldoc59]

I see you’re using Lucent Blades, probably something you forgot to take off from something else, but as we saw two resistance mods were enough, I’d probably recommend Strand reserves in that third slot for the fusion rifle as you would run out of ammo at times. Also might as well throw a grenade at the bosses when a damage phase starts if you have one, as you don’t need to have a melee to throw your grenade out. I know it’s like a rythm to save the grenade for Sunbracers and if you need to activate Heat Rises, but in the damage phase, you’re topped up on that stuff anyway, and you’re not clearing ads, so might as well get more ignitions in for your Dragon’s Breath. I also saw a video of someone using Eremite in a DPS rotation with Dragon’s Breath, and it was very very effective. Could do better than this new fusion, but idk.

[@7472wayne]

No DIM build link? Or am I missing it?

[@XSaintsRisingX]

Amazing content man. I will be using your build here to achieve my solo flawless on the dungeon. Gg’s gamer

[@InfinitiRiot]

FYI taken spec is the goat in the final encounter

[@christianbrown8274]

Love the work.

[@sarahalbright15]

Do you have a dim link for this? I’ve been using sunbracers but I don’t think to the best ability that they can be. I appreciate your explanation

[@UnearthlyRelic]

do you think sunbracers and well are better than dawn chorus and daybreak? you can still get resto X2 if run healing grenade with dawn chorus and swap pheonix dive for healing rift

[@soraneptune4178]

Well is a much better panic super which is always nice in a solo flaw run. sunbracer is also way more on demand adclear. dive is also a better panic tool to rift considering the high amounts of burst dmg that is present in final.

[@swiggity97]

Is Riptide not a better Fusion option? Due to the seasonal mods increasing shatter damage?

[@alex62965]

If you get the catalyst for dragons breath it is a lot better that without

[@Sackos64]

Why does your mini tool not bounce around like mine does due to recoil? Is there a difference with controller to mouse?

Yes. M&k has almost no recoil.

[@iiRodeoclownii]

do these builds on a console... where the guns dont stay dead still to map eyes across the level using an smg.

Thoughts on Karnstein Armlets? I wanna use sunbracers but my rng keeps giving me terrible rolls. I really like how Karnsteins give you multiple sources to proc restoration and cure

[@Azazel.J]

What does jumping do when you're shooting Sunshot? Or do you do it just cause?

[@Hypernoid.]

I has nothing do with sunshot instead its because of his aspect heat rises which gives you melee energy on airborne kills

[@CelestiallDaemon]

I use warlocks alot but i find it abit hard to maintain the resto2 all the time i mean i know how to do it and i get it but it's like luck and sometimes runs out and hard to repeat the loop cause not having your class or some thing... Also the cage part sux for me most of the time Cant find one like it's not even there

[@nefstead]

I did some math comparing this fusion the high impacts (Eremite and Nox Perennial V with envious assassin and controlled burst), and I figured out that the high impacts do about 25% more dps and total damage per overfilled mag. Is there something I'm missing that makes this one better?

[@xlDarkMousylx]

Rapid fires are normally better for short dps phases. The final boss for example is very gated so they're short windows.

[@soraneptune4178]

Idk where you got the dps numbers from but rapids is definitely the better dps frame. total dmg high impact will be better but that's only relevant if you constantly find yourself out of ammo During the dps phase. Which is pretty rare for this dungeon outside of unlucky 2nd encounters. also nox is much harder to get a godroll on than scatter signal.

[@soraneptune4178]

Also forgot to mention the faster charge time makes it a bit nicer for bait and switch rotas.

[@MathieuGagne-mg4sz]

should throw grenades on the boss before hand to weaken the boss to put out more damage from your rockets and fusion.

To be honest. You should be debuffing with solar ability.

[@Basically_Veggies]

Why did you suddenly stop DPS and go back down a platform at 1:02:24?

[@sledplayz9285]

could I have 100 recovery on warlock instead of 100 resilience? or does that make me not tanky enough?

[@GMurph2336]

No. 100 resil should be the priority for every build on every class. Having a couple seconds of shorter cooldown is not as important as having the damage resistance.

[@Mr.yapper69]

Every body and they momma is using this same sun bracers build 😂

[@user-tr1qt2ye4k]

Artic Haze and Thermal Erosion are also two great solar weapons that can roll with dragonfly, high rpm MG that literally melts yellow bars where they stand with the artifact mods active for solar 👍 give em a try

[@tpose5three]

I know you get melee energy for air born kills, but wouldn't it be smarter to spec into strength instead of discipline?

[@Emenord]

No. Just kill things while jumping or flying to get the snap back. Miss a snap, and you're dead in the water, which is where a lower grenade-cooldown is important.

[@Makes_Sense662]

What armor set ornament is that?
