NEZAREC'S SIN [Exotic Breakdown] Will It Still Be Good In The Final Shape?

This video will be both a breakdown for the Exotic Warlock Helmet, Nezarec's Sin, as well as a bit of speculation as to how it may preform in with the launch of The Final Shape. Enjoy! 🍻

Id love to show you the prismatic build I made after they did the deep dive for it, nezarec sin on prismatic is going to go insane, scorch from hellion, jolt from storm grenade with facet of dominance, unravel from arcane melee, easy devour with feed the void, unraveling and volatile rounds with facet of bravery, facet of dawn for eazy and almost infinite uptime on radiant, facet of purpose for woven mail, and then facet of balance to round it off, still not sure if i will have access to 5 or 6 fragment slots with this build so could even add one more if allowed.

[@IronworkerGaming]

Ohhhh!! Thinking about how all of these pieces mesh together, that setup does sound very impressive! 👍🍻

[@unsainted191]

@@IronworkerGaming yea I spent longer then Id like to admit on this but build crafting is my pride and joy, prismatic is going to take it to a different level

[@IronworkerGaming]

@@unsainted191 It really does sound like you have yourself an amazing setup!! 👍👍

[@wethepeople8280]

I feel that’s a little light heavy right? Looks amazing but stasis turrets might work even better to offer cc and dark kills

[@wethepeople8280]

What weapons you running? I’m aiming for your build with buried bloodline, scatter signal, and strand heavy

[@smiddyman]

Nezarec's Sin is such a ridiculously powerful exotic in terms of how easy it is to use and how extreme the benefits are. I can only imagine that it doesn't see too much use, considering how Bungie have ignored it. It's biggest competitor imo is Verity's Brow, which is a little less forgiving in uptime and doesn't offer quite the same boost to regen, but of course offers the damage buff, which I think along with the upcoming damage boost to charged magnetic grenade is something to keep an eye on. Contraverse is still my pick for more difficult content since it doesn't require kills.

[@IronworkerGaming]

It really is! I'm very excited to try Nezarec's out in The Final Shape with a hand selected ability kit! Verity's could get quite interesting as well (not that it isn't currently) once HHSN gets juiced up even more! 😁👍

[@KreeTerry]

The fireteam grenade cooldown from verity’s is slept on too. You can get some nice ability chains going with it

[@KreeTerry]

Ironworker I hope you will cover mantle of battle harmony after the final shape drops. You were one of only a handful of people to do a deep dive on it and it’s one of my favorite exotics. I think with the changes it’s getting it could be a strong pick for some builds, it’s a fun combo with travelers chosen for an elemental agnostic “build”

[@IronworkerGaming]

That was definitely one of the points that caught my eye when reading through the Armor Tuning article! I'll get it on the board for another look in Final Shape! 👍👍

[@elcannon9404]

Use feed the void - once devour is up, your grenade recharge is mental with sin

[@windirskyfire]

Passed your channel around to my friends and they love it. Such solid and real destiny content and always appreciate it man.

[@IronworkerGaming]

Ayeee!! Thank you very much for that! It's always great knowing that people are enjoying the content, and I'll do my best to keep the videos coming! 😁🍻

[@p5gBand]

Glad to see you covering my Favorite Warlock exotic armor piece for solo play. While I usually avoid volunteering to be the Div bit**, if there are team wipes, as the Warlock main, I generally “have to” go to the Phoenix Well Div build.

[@IronworkerGaming]

Nezarec's really is a fantastic exotic, and one of my long time favorites as well! I certainly have served my time on Well of Radiance duty also, but nothing brings me more joy than having near constant ability uptime on my Voidwarker! 😂🍻

[@TheErebus94]

Love to see this. Nezarec was one of my favorite exotics and still is one I keep on hand. Would love to see a video like this for Verity's as well, maybe something comparing the 2? I'm curious how that's going to look with the Mag grenade buff in TFS

[@IronworkerGaming]

It is about time that I did another video for Verity's Brow, as it's been a few years since I last covered that exotic as well! It's another exotic that could be quite interesting in The Final Shape! 😁👍

[@TragicChaosx]

Amazing video, brother! Love the content!🍻😁

[@IronworkerGaming]

Thank you very much man!! 😁🍻

[@TragicChaosx]

You’re very welcome, man!! I hope that you’re doing well!

[@xtuga101]

Nazarec’s was always a favorite of mine and this week I was ready to run some tests, glad you save me the work and did a break down of all the numbers, really good content. I’m always between nazarec’s and mantle of battle harmony depending of enemy density and level of the content. A comparison between both will be great 👍🏻

[@IronworkerGaming]

Both really are fantastic exotics! I've really been enjoying MoBH since the launch of Final Shape. I love the fact that they removed that pesky super energy cooldown timer! 👍👍

[@aarongrilanc94]

Great vid ! Forget about this exotic sometimes.

[@IronworkerGaming]

Glad to hear that you enjoyed it! While it may be an old exotic, Nezarec's is still going strong! 😁🍻

[@joshtenney4143]

Prismatic build Exotic armor: nezeracs sin Exotic weapon: graviton lance / le monarch depending on preference Aspect 1: weavers call Aspect 2 : feed the void Super : dealers choice, personal preference is song of flame because its new, but needlestorm probably better overall. Class ability : phoenix dive Grenade : storm (can swap for vortex if you want more sources of void damage) Melee : arcane needle Loop Arcane needle keeps the unravel debuff active, which helps secure strand kills for free threadlings from weavers call. Phoenix dive also summons 3 threadings on cast. Storm grenades deal high burst damage and effect a large area when paired with the fragment that lets it jolt. One void kill every 2.5 seconds should be easy to maintain with a void exotic primary to keep the nez sin buff active. Since you have constant uptime with strand damage from threadlings and unravel your dark meter for transcendence should charge quickly. If using needlestorm and the fragment that gives class buffs on orb pickup you add woven mail and that will help charge the dark bar faster. The aoe from storm grenades/jolt and your graviton or monarch should charge your light bar quickly, with extra speed coming from maintaining your devour buff. High uptime on abilities, high uptime on transcendent state.

[@IronworkerGaming]

I like it!! 😁🍻

[@joshtenney4143]

@@IronworkerGaming Still has more room for customization with fragment slots. I think the build only accounts for 2 or 3 currently. I didn't want to plan on filling all of them since we only know like 12 out of 21 of the fragments so leaving room to be surprised.

[@spencerhuckins8197]

Nezerecs sin paired with enhanced devour and that craftable void hand cannon with demolitionist and wellspring is infinite ability spam

[@IronworkerGaming]

Ohhh! Are you talking about the Optative hand cannon? That could be a really nice combo with that perk set! I'll have to give that a try. 😁🍻

[@spencerhuckins8197]

@@IronworkerGaming yes! Optative with enhanced demo and wellspring for EVEN MORE ability generation. I'm throwing grenades back to back to back. I weaken and explode everything on the battlefield

[@gengarclefairy3475]

Optative with both perks enhanced is incredible. Getting a kill with it with only your grenade being used gives it 21% energy for ANY KILL including a thrall

[@spencerhuckins8197]

@@gengarclefairy3475 i didn't know the exact number but that is absolutely insane! Is that with devour grenade energy gain included? Prismatic with optative and nezerecs is going to be insane

I absolutely love Optative. I've been using a Demolitionist, Golden tricorn roll and it feels better that a lot of exotics

[@the_filthy_macgyver]

I’m loving this exotic with strand in content like onslaught and even gms. Hopefully it will still be viable in FS. Thanks for the video!

[@IronworkerGaming]

Absolutely man, and it's always great to hear from you! Nezarec's does seem to lean into Strand builds quite nicely, and I'm excited to give it a try in The Final Shape with a hand selected batch of abilities! 😁🍻

[@taniasolis6459]

Nice build and second

[@IronworkerGaming]

Thank you! 😁🍻

[@pencilswordfish]

Yeah, It's pretty ridiculous in PVE with Graviton and Edge Transit with Void surges and all the relevant mod synergies. Nezy's is one of those things that are highly dependent on the crop of Void weapons we have, and we have some HEAVY hitters right now. In normal or at-level Nezy's is great but in GMs I feel like Contraverse is the better call. Good variety pick tho, and better fashion too. Fashion is the true endgame after all.

[@j8000]

This thing with Buried Bloodline is going to be my starting point for exploring Prismatic.

[@IronworkerGaming]

That would be a great combo to jump in with! 👍👍

[@philipharris-smith5889]

At last the Helm I have used for years is now preem.

[@Un4gettablewolf]

Hey can you make a video about saguine. Now that i see it, empowering rift on void with child of old gods is better than well of radiance. For a solo player atleast. But 6 warlocks would be crazy!

[@IronworkerGaming]

I'll try it out again, and give it some though! I've always like the concept of Sanguine after it's rework, but was generally a bit underwhelmed by it in practice. I'll give it another go and see how it feels currently. 👍👍

[@Un4gettablewolf]

@IronworkerGaming you're awesome thank you. I'll look forward to it. Notification always on lol

[@snappar795]

Now if only Nezarec's Sin had an exotic ornament that matched the armor from RoN, that armor is sick! But Verity's Brow's ornament first, please.

[@IronworkerGaming]

That would be really cool, but I agree that we are in desperate need of an ornament to provide a facelift for Verity's Brow! 😂🍻

[@almightyallah1700]

I guess with devour and Recluse kills. Should make scattered grenades, so Interesting

[@fracturedtech426]

I’m watching this video thinking: nez affects super? 🤔. 😂 that wild!

[@IronworkerGaming]

Hahaha, it is easy to over look since the description only specifies "abilities" and doesn't make a point to mention the super. 👍👍

[@eagle1178]

What are you looking forward to most in the Final Shape?🧐

[@IronworkerGaming]

I really excited for the new build crafting opportunities with the Prismatic subclass! It feels like we should be able to go full "mad scientist" with all of the variety and possibilities! 😁🍻

[@generalnawaki]

My fave armor weapon combo in the game. swap the lance out for le monarque if you're feeling spicy.

[@IronworkerGaming]

It's crazy how the Gravaton / Nezerac combo, which were both launch exotics, are still so strong together after all these years! LeMonarque does slot right in perfectly as well! 😁👍

[@generalnawaki]

@@IronworkerGaming right? I hope who ever made them both gets a raise every season that this combo is hot, which is all of them :P

[@db1872]

This with bloodline and you get your grenades back so fast

[@J.Starkweather]

Nezarec's Sin? ✅ Graviton Lance? ✅ Voidwalker? 💜 Its crazy how this combo has remained good since the beginning of D2

[@IronworkerGaming]

Right!? I never would have thought that I would still be using two launch exotics 7 years later...but here we are! 😂 It really serves as a testament to how good each one is, and how good they are when paired together! 😁🍻

[@mohawkgarry]

How am I just finding out that there's diminishing returns?? Absolutely nothing stopping you from having mid discipline/strength, and int, and going 100 recovery and resistance... And still getting all the benefits. Brb, gonna change up my build... 👀

[@IronworkerGaming]

Hahaha! I think that is an often over looked strength of the exotic. In add heavy content, Abyssal Extractors does a phenomenal job at bringing up abilities at lower cooldown tiers! 😁🍻

[@kingsmorely3697]

Great video, and Nezerac's Sin is definitely underrated. I essentially view it as an 8.3% grenade + melee boost per void kill and a 5.6% boost to super and class energy spread over 2.5 seconds. While multikills extend the duration, they don't inherently enhance the exotic like Rampage does, making it more consistent. Additionally, in harder content, maintaining ability uptime is challenging, but Nezarec's Sin remedies this with just a couple of void kills. For context, Nezarec's Sin requires only 5 kills to equal the grenade energy boost from Contraverse Hold (10 kills on a double proc). And using Child of the Old Gods over Chaos Accelerant provides a significant advantage (Chaos Accelerant is honestly kinda shit 💀).

[@IronworkerGaming]

I like how you broke that down! That is a very comprehensive way of looking at the numbers! Also, I 100% agree with you regarding Chaos Accelerant. The aspect as a whole could use some attention, especially when you compare it to how potent of an effect Touch of Flame and Touch of Thunder have on their grenades. Child, and Feed the Void feel like essential parts of the Voidwalker kit to me. Chaos Accelerant...not so much. 😂🍻

[@TheGraffiti600rr]

Im using this combo on strand right now would have been nice to see your breakdown of suspending gravaton. When i use nezeracs on void, i use gnawing hunger w/ subsistence and demolitionist. Nades made volitile. Gun makes nades in like 5 kills. Its kinda ridiculous in low end, high add content (moon, well, onslaught (the 10 waves, not 50).

[@IronworkerGaming]

I bet you could put that Nez / Gnawing combo to really good use in Legend Onslaught! All of those grenades can really lock things down! 😁🍻

[@TheGraffiti600rr]

@@IronworkerGaming up to about wave 30-40. The damage fall off for 600s is real. Even with volitile. Have a subsistence... what's that rpm boosting perk on Ros Arago? Well anyways, it works great for the first 30 rounds. Then you really start to notice the its 10 rounds to kill a red bar instead of 3-4 and you start asking yourself what can I replace this with? 🤔

[@JustGaming24]

now that prismatic is out really want this tested with the lightning surge melee and strand. Should i use this or crown of tempests?

[@codegumby]

I've never dropped nezeracs sin. It's permanently in my load out bar and will probably always be in my top 5 warlock exotics. I think the build crafting into prismatic is going to be nuts

[@IronworkerGaming]

Same! It's always been at the ready for me since the launch of D2, and I have no reason to believe that it won't serve us well going forward! 😁🍻

[@snapelilly]

This was always better than all other void warlock exotics. Always has been.

[@IronworkerGaming]

Right!? Nezarec's has been top-tier since the launch of the game! 😁👍

[@alexanderroemisch6676]

@ironworkergaming i think colony and darci are due for a revisit, and maybe truth as well

[@IronworkerGaming]

Colony and Truth were two weapons that were on my "to do" list! It wouldn't hurt to throw DARCI on there as well! 😁🍻

[@AngeltheTank]

Do you think Hallowfire Heart will be negatively affected by these changes with prismatic? Its description states it boosts solar abilities while super is active, but it doesn’t specify WHAT super. Only the abilities. Thoughts? Awesome video as always 🍻🍻

[@IronworkerGaming]

Thank you very much! There's probably few different ways things could potentially play out for Hallowfire, but I think the most likely scenario would be that it boost abilities, regardless of the elemental type, with a Solar super equipped. We'll definitely have to keep an eye on that once the Final Shape launches though! 😁🍻

[@AngeltheTank]

@@IronworkerGaming I’ll be eagerly waiting for your video on it 😉🍻🍻

[@brookehillard8530]

any idea if the energy regen from the nezarec sin and the grenade energy regen from the stasis fragments work together? been playing with it and I think they stack

[@IronworkerGaming]

I can't say that I've tested that specifically, but I'm pretty sure that they do. Other means of regenerating ability energy tend to compound with Abyssal Extractors, so I can't see any reason why it wouldn't. 😁👍

[@jaggerknife]

What a great exotic, hopefully they dont nerf it.

[@IronworkerGaming]

It looks like we should be in good shape going forward! It will be interesting to see how Nezarec's plays with the Prismatic subclass! 😁👍

[@NEWGHOST9]

Would rlly be no need for them to nerf it imo

[@kingsmorely3697]

I'm more worried Feed The Void could get nerfed due to it being available on prismatic

[@zavarius1337]

The buff'd it. Duration 10sec->20sec an thats absurd op. Prismatic grenade spam (void+stasis)

[@fadeddragon123]

Makes me sad that contraverse got hit like it did. I still use it but nezzy sin is definitely better generally I’m hoping us voidlocks will be free with the well nerfs

[@IronworkerGaming]

I really don't know if the the ability cooldown changes were intended to affect Contraverse, but it is definitely a shame that they did. It will be interesting to see how things play out in The Final Shape with the Well nerf. I'm excited to potentially be unchained from the super in group activates, but also a bit worried because for awhile now, content was kind of designed around it to a certain extent. I'm more than happy to adapt and overcome as a Voidwalker though! 😂🍻

[@bloadstar]

When I used at launch of final shape, abyssal extract wouldn't go above 3 seconds :(

[@IronworkerGaming]

You nearly gave me a heart attack!! 😅 I loaded up to game to make sure that there wasn't a shadow nerf, but everything seems to be fine at present. There certainly could have been something funky going on with it on launch day, but we appear to be in the clear. 👍👍

[@bloadstar]

@@IronworkerGaming I'll have to try it again. I was running prismatic with the exotic void pulse (can't remember name) and I wasn't getting anything higher than 3 seconds which bummed me thinking it was shadow nerfed.
