Ranking EVERY Exotic Class Item in Destiny 2 (Hunter Edition)

[@MacticsG1]

To anyone who disagrees with any of my rankings... . . . . . you are wrong lol in all seriousness though, these types of videos always have a bunch of nasty comments, lets try and be a little more civil than that. if i called something bad that you like, remember that im just 1 guy on the internet and am certainly not the arbiter of what you are/arent allowed to use enjoy :)

[@jvee6288]

Assassin’s/Liar frees up an aspect slot so you can run threaded specter for an extra source of damage while still having invisibility on powered melee kills, or every other kill

[@fallhayv8470]

You said ascension is bad no, YOU are wrong i love my helicopter move Tbh it feels like Mac is so married to the combination blow prismatic that it completely skews his perspective on other possible builds Don't get be wrong, its good, but it is also a snoozefest, you are basically playing an arc hunter all over again. Also as strong as it is, i would not bring a full melee build into a GM Threaded spike is cool with caliban too, ye know but if I get a HOIL i'd run it with stasis melee to deal with 2 different champs at will

[@skyking3210]

Verity buffs Grapple I was able to get double damage with Cali/Verity class item tested on Carl, radiant also buffs this. I hit five red bars with The Call sidearm and one hit grapple attack triggering Caliban's

[@woomyboy98]

Foe tracer + gyrfalcon is actually an insanely good combo. Ive been running grapple melee + smoke bomb with the call, graviton lance, edge transit but depending on the situation other void guns can be swapped in. Basically you look around for an orange bar (or higher), throw your smoke bomb and then kill all the other ads with graviton. The multiple ticks from smoke bomb reproc foetracer enough for those 10 seconds to feel like forever. For champs you just stun, throw smoke bomb, spam edge transit to kill before the stun ends. I use threader specter + stylish since i pretty much have all my abilities up whenever I want. Mix in some grapples to help get your dodge back even faster (i pretty much always have my dodge up anyway) and then youre set. (Fragments are balance, mending, protection, purpose, and the last one can be whatever so I use solitude to make tormentors less annoying)

[@BrandonOxiner]

[@Mstrbu]

The majority of the rankings is “Is this good with stylish executioner and combination blow?” Lol

[@urticantspoon9960]

Fair enough, but what combination of perks do you think would be good for threaded spike, and withering blades? (Fan knives are kinda….there, but don’t really have as much utility as the other three melees. Same for grenades, he mentions dark grenades have a lot more utility than light grenades, with duskfield providing frost armor stacks when paired with renewal, and grapple melee literally being the best damage strategy in the game when paired with the navigator exotic trace rifle and synthoceps (has the highest damage in the game, search warlords ruin titan speedrun for context) comparing the dark grenades to swarm grenade and magnetic grenade…neither are really strong, and the arc grenade isn’t strong either, when compared to the utility of the dark grenades.) radiant dodge is something he didn’t bring up, since we don’t really need radiant dodge, as we have facet of dawn and radiant orbs of power this episode. Now, dragon’s shadow plus sixth coyote plus facet of command with withering blades/gambler’s dodge and a chill clip weapon is slept on, as the highest damage set up in the game before final shape dropped was a dragon’s shadow whisper of impetus build on stasis hunter with the fourth Housman, mountaintop and edge transit, and that was without the enhanced perks, and that build was the highest dps in the game to a boss (dps testing was done on Templar from Vault of Glass). That combination (class item of sixth coyote plus dragons shadow) plus facet of command(reload all weapons upon freezing a target) plus golden gun super plus withering blades, a chill clip special GL, fourth horseman and edge transit, is probably very strong for boss damage on enemies like war priest, Templar and others. Celestial still hunt prismatic marksman vs whisper of the worm on Taken King is still up for debate as far as I know in terms of what’s better for damage. Mactics does say at the end of his video that this ranking is based on first impressions, so that’s the most obviously strong stuff, and I can understand why he picked syntho call an and liar caliban. For low tier to high tier end game content, if a hunter wants to run in and punch, those are the best combinations, and he’s been remaking the same assassins cowl/liars handshake build for almost two years. He’s got that run in and melee style for Hunter down really well. The hang back and wait for dps style isn’t as popular, but means you’re more useful to your team for dps. Hunter’s main role in Destiny at the moment, is ad clear and dps. It is possible to make a support hunter with tether but it’s not how Hunter is built to play. Warlocks are much more the support/ad clear style, given their only option for good dps is strand or solar. Then you’ve got Titan whose play style leans more into ad clear and defense and less into everything else. Problem is, there isn’t much reason for good defense, so most titans re utilize their kit for ad clear and crowd control and survivability, their damage? They’ve got thundercrash and strand titan grapple melee with syntho for damage. There’s a reason Titan meta was strand titan for a whole year and a half, they didn’t have much else after the bonk hammer nerf. Now idk about prismatic Titan, or prismatic warlock, or if they’re super useful, I have a feeling that yes they are, and titans actually have a good dps option with the throwing axes, since that’s a dps super (cast it, can use instant, and switch to weapons for damage phase.) Titan utility is probably really strong, which leaves warlocks…and idk about warlocks, but the strand super is their best for dps last I remembered, but song of flame seems to have options.

[@kreia187]

problem is that that's kinda where prismatic hunter ends. There's not a lot of other decently viable things you can do with it.

Fellow hunters, anyone else notice a change to fan of knives trajectory that dropped with the expansion? I used that melee non-stop last season so my muscle memory is pretty good with it and as soon as I played the first campaign mission I realized something must’ve changed. It now sends your middle knife above your crosshair, kinda where the very top of your handcannon hip fire reticle circle is. I am almost certain the middle knife went dead center last season. I feel like I might be crazy so if anyone else has noticed this let me know lol

[@jameswilles7814]

When you're talking about gyrfalcon for the first time and mention Facet of Bravery, that was a fragment on void before gyrfalcon was an exotic, called Echo of Instability. People just didn't use it when void 3.0 came out because we had artifact mods that gave volitile rounds even easier.

[@wolfgamer8770]

Not to mention hunters didn't have any exotics that buffed void grenades back then. You pretty much needed collective obligation in order to mimic what you can do on hunter today.

[@BardianAngel]

Yeah, that's what i'm thinking. Getting volatile rounds on grenade kill vs getting volatile rounds every time you proc stylish exectuioner. One of those has WAY more uptime than the other.

[@Luteloots]

I think you're underestimating how good Gyrfalcons is with volatile rounds honestly. We already have the same fragment to get volatile rounds on grenade kills on void itself but NOBODY uses that instead of Gyrfalcons if they want volatile rounds on Hunter. On Prismatic it's even worse because as you mentioned the grenade options are generally awful at getting kills. Galanor + Gyrfalcons in particular is one of my god-rolls due to the fact that it gives you both of the best void builds at once. You have tether spam via Galanor filling in for Orpheus Rigs AND you have volatile spam via Gyrfalcons. Absolutely amazing build and Buried Bloodline in particular makes it even better as it grants you a source of devour too which is the only thing prismatic hunter is really missing from void. Void weapons aren't even really a downside this season in particular with expanding abyss. Volatile rounds are ALSO anti-barrier which is important to remember, while volatile is a debuff to trigger stylish executioner. Might not be a huge deal this season with radiant orbs but anti-barrier will be much harder to come by when that's no longer a perk if you can't have constant uptime on your melee ability, particularly as Radiant only lasts 5 seconds on prismatic compared to 15 on most Solar builds. I also HIGHLY suspect that the combination blow build on Prismatic Hunter is going to get nerfed to hell with how insanely broken it is, which is going to make other options much more important compared to only focusing on those builds with Calibans + Synthos or Liar's. Not to mention the other "best" build being Nighthawk GG with Still Hunt which similarly will likely get nerfed significantly.

[@Arth0n]

I've using a hoil + gyrfalcons cloak with a repulser brace recluse and have been loving it, combination blow build is super boring imo

[@lemmingskmt]

Volatile is the worst of the 3 light elemental damage spreaders, volt shot(jolt) and incan(scorch) is way better and require no investment in your exotic, aspect, fragment, or artifact. Building around volatile was good when it 1st came out but it's dead.

You have no idea how to build. Void and Prismatic are not the same thing. You can have perma uptime in prismatic with volatile and better exotic choices.

Something that might be worth considering and might be a sleeper build is having the foetracer/lair or foetracer/synthoceps class exotic with the Legend of Acrius shotgun since it is an arc power weapon it will receive a damage buff from foetracer when using combination blow along with the buff from trench barrel. Might be a good alternate in place of sword dps

[@TheLegendaryLegacy]

I’ll be honest…it feels like there is a severe lack of creativity. You are relying so much on Combination blow that you generally aren’t looking at anything else as an option. It’s strong I won’t pretend it isn’t, but there is more to the game than just that.

[@unooox]

that gyrfalcons argument might actually be the dumbest argument I’ve heard

[@Zvuli]

Caliban Cyrt for fun, Inmost Cert for hard content. I run a The Call and Graviton Lance with the Unravel/volatile rounds. Threaded Spike, Grapple, Gunpowder and Stylish. The ignitions on threaded are hilarious in at level content, but the ability Gen is great for 100% woven in endgame. Keep in mind, Cyrt works with Gunpowder too so Woven is up all the time.

[@LonerBohner]

Inmost + coyote is A tier imo , got mine and can’t take it off. Double melee double dodge, you always have abilities up with right build.

[@wk8323]

yeah I was just using this today. there are probably better ones but the grenade recharge rate while you’re doing the melee dodge combo is ridiculous. and the double dodge to Instantly freeze a big group is fun

[@DreyfusLagoon]

Verity/inmost light with gunpowder gamble basically gives hunter pocket nukes on demand. Especially if you’re running the call/graviton lance with facet of command, giving you infinite volitile and unraveling rounds which in turn gives you infinite gunpowder gambles

[@integrallens6045]

Syntho also works with glaives like wintersbite which slows on hit so it synergizes with stylish.

[@jasonmorgan3932]

By and large agree, but in defense of foetracer not having to run 3 surges is super nice for mod flexibility. Really helps uptime on a lot of abilities while not losing out on the damage :)

I have a Gallanor + Gyrfalcon, on a prismatic void build + destabilizing rounds weapon, it is really good

[@TwoFoxGibbon]

My personal favorite thing is that a lot of bosses are floating and/or can't be melee'd. Which makes all these melee builds very niche. Fun, but niche.

[@shanemoody529]

Grapple melee benefits from both melee damage increases and grenade damage increases. Warlocks were able to run potent navigator builds last season because verity buffed grapple melee.

[@stayathomedad4830]

Foetracer/stareater has been doing great in dps for me

[@Megatherium]

I have all the best hunter class items and my favorite build at this point is synthos + heart of inmost light. I run grapple + threaded spike. Basically 1-2p grapple melee is so potent on this subclass that I hate handicapping it with combination blow, which causes synthos to do 30% instead of 165%, even for grapple melee. With inmost light, you can grapple to a tangle to constantly maintain x2 HOIL regen. Then melee and gamblers dodge can be spammed quite a bit too, and get your grapple back in under 10 seconds if you lose it. It’s very easy to make tangles with the threaded spike, which is also snytho-boosted 165%. Liars + Caliban is best in slot for many activities and players. But I am addicted to the 500k-1.6m grapple melee.

[@Ace-Intervention]

Caliban + Verity absolutely cooks ads with treaded spike and gunpowder

[@BarbellBinks]

My first and only item rn is caliban's and verity. Didn't even know what verity did, but the synergy with gunpowder gamble + grapple melee + crafted the call is insane. This combo with threaded spike to proc ignitions on EVERY ENEMY hit with the spike, is one of the most insane crowd control builds I can image. Not to mention is extremely fun and satisfying. Maybe I'm coping bc it's my only one, but I think it's great and fits in very good easily

[@kdogg12222]

Is there a spreadsheet with this tier list? Identifying the exotics based on the picture is a bit rough.

[@1Sky1Earth]

Gunpowder Gamble gives free ignitions, is great for crowd clears or burning down heavier enemies, and (when they finally fix it) will be an easy way to proc Facet of Mending Ascension turning your dodge into a jolting move while also proccing amplify, which scales twice this season for resistance Winter's Shroud is something you're probably already running with Stylish so no need for me to sing the praises of it's additional effect And Threaded Spectre practically forcing enemies to target something other than you is no joke one of the best aspects to me now that I've been forced to play with it. There is not one bad aspect on Prismatic Hunter, they all have their uses and abilities and can work into a ton of builds.

Gurfalcon foetracer is wild cause volatile counts as ability damage for whatever reason

[@ryanclune3883]

One thing to mention about grapple melees and liars handshake + combination blow combo, liars buffs the first punch after the grapple melee, hitting g for huge damage if you already have combination blow stacks, very quick burst dps, especially with a 1-2 punch shotty.

[@progowl3086]

I feel like there is a good argument for Assassins/Liars to be placed higher. I have both Assassins/Liars and Calibans/Liars, but haven't done any endgame content yet in which the difference between these combinations could be more significant. While I don't think the prior is ultimately as good as the latter, the ability to freeze and shatter an enemy after dodging near them twice which can detonate both Threaded Specters if they are close enough to the shatter has a pretty similar effect to an ignition. On top of that you have a decent amount of light and dark damage from just using your melee ability and dodge so you charge Transcendent much faster than I think you can with Calibans/Liars (I almost prefer Assassins/Liars just for this). With the extra facet slot from Threaded Specter you can run what I consider the core Facets (Ruin, Courage, Protection, and Purpose) along with Sacrifice and Devotion to further enhance your ability to recharge Transcendent, or even swap one of those out for Generosity (for more team support as you can activate Transcendent frequently), or Balance (so you can have your grenade up essentially all the time which allows you to use the combination of combination blows + grapple to easily get rapid arc kills for amplified as well as making you more mobile). Threaded Specter also provides more team support as it pulls agro not just off of you (like invisibility does), but also off of your team. Additionally if you are in a position where you are unable to turn invisible but need an escape it can provide that.

[@Nullscr1pt]

I have caliban liars, and assassin cowl + lairs. My question is…. Why is assassin cowl + liars no good? If you use the strand fragment you get 6 slots instead of 5.. you get a decoy which takes 100% agro for your whole team as well as multiple hatchlings that seek out and destroy targets. Is having an extra fragment slot + decoys somehow not better than fire that spreads on targets that die instantly anyway? Thats what I don’t get…. I have both and assassin lets me not have to use stylish executioner…. Someone explain what makes caliban better than an extra fragment slot, decoys clones, hatchlings, etc?

[@Jeanbobinho]

i have both caliban+ liar and assassin + liar and i use more assassin + liar.

Which? Also combo blow is unironically the best melee: if it wasn't for it being bugged and stealing stats away from grapple then it would be the best melee period with caliban syntho. Though, a swap off for damage phase is clearly needed since bug

[@rozerom593]

My biggest problem with these rankings is; Spirit of Inmost Light and Spirit of The Liar should be above Caliban Liars because of the fact that with Tessellation you can get a very high damage shot over and over again after using the Combo Blow and Gamblers Dodge rotation, mostly for enemies you can't punch and deal massive amounts of damage but also to include into the rotations every now and again. Not to mention with the Duskfield Grenades you can stun 2/3 champion types intrinsically just by using Tessellation. It's better for solo endgame content but an insanely good build nonetheless.

[@chadaustin8879]

Caliban/ arachne is really good, pairing with stylish & gunpowder you have 3 sources of grenades (inc prismatic) to get woven mail, its super easy to pull off gunpowder using threaded spike + caliban and the grapple melee just does its own thing to set it up. Running it i had gunpowder gamble up every time as soon as it was off cooldown as the grenade itself counts towards its own count, plus constant woven mail and invisibility. The fragments do give it some buff as well but you are required to run a specific weapon loadout to make the most out of it

[@jam726]

Yeah I run this with coyote instead of cyrt and it’s insane. Honestly feels every bit as strong as the liars builds but you actually get to do something other than punch. Plus in harder content you don’t have to risk getting close.

[@callouu3601]

The main one I’ve tested and actually disagree with the most is Liars + inmost light. Honestly, it doesn’t sound like it makes a big difference, but like instant cooldown on grapple and not needing to worry if you mess up combination / roll combo is so nice in practice. I got the liars + calibans roll, but actually find it difficult to stack combination blow for elite damage because every melee kill wipes the entire group of adds. Great if there’s 100 enemies like in the exotic mission, but in normal activities with rooms of 10 enemies, it’s actually hard to get to x3 combination with calibans. Funny how killing stuff too fast makes the build more difficult to play around, but yea! Don’t sleep on Liars / inmost. It stays in my inventory for less convuluted fights

Inmost light is amazing on hunter due to the already quick dodge cooldown and having a natural very good double melee in withering blade. Magnetic grenade while not being the best is still really good single target. While prismatic though death throes goes hard on the frostyfirey spike nade. I think its the combo that bets takes advantage of being transcendent which is the coolest part of prismatic. That and Im honestly already bored of prismatic punchy hunter

[@juggaloxmuzicxify]

Make sure you make one of these tier list for titans, thank

[@russellallen1006]

That was always a fragment in void as well. Gyrfalcons is so good because it makes volatile and invisibility infinitely chainable with Trappers Ambush.

[@xgodxy]

this is an awesome video, explained 'em thoroughly! 🔥what are the chances that you're gonna make a warlock one though?

[@AzarathMetreon]

Verity/HOIL on hunter is really fun. I always have every ability whenever I want it to be available and I get juiced magnetic nades to chunk when I need them to lol. Also Caliban/Syntho 😩 Edit: I did some testing with my Verity/HOIL, there was no difference in shatter damage with or without max death throes. Without any other investment, both sources ended up with a max of about 17k damage on a shatter.

[@nickhammer4732]

Inmost light/coyote is missed placed. Run it with withering blade and gunpowder gamble…… 2 dodges, 2 melee, and 2 grenades. It should be in the very good tier.

[@ogscopey9651]

Agreed, currently what I’m using and it’s insane you literally never run out of abilities to use. Spam as much as you want lmao I love it

[@Soururipa]

i guess im super hot

[@I_Have_Too_Many_Cats]

same here brotha

[@tocixkiller2122]

Sameeeee

[@HaloEchoe419]

Yes you are ❤

[@exoticshin4215]

🤭

[@Savussy]

Super hot , super hot

[@RuffyG]

is dragon and coyote for PVP not the best for hunters?

[@tommiles4508]

Depends what weapons you use if you’re using handcannons slideshot makes dragon pretty much useless

[@happycha0sgaming]

Awesome this was recommended, always have some great insight for hunters thank you

[@TemptinqqMC]

Just the video I was waiting for!

[@AkArli74u]

First time completing dual destiny I got that God tier caliban and liar roll, before people had videos out for that build I was using it. it’s so fun

[@truebacon133]

Does verity's buff grapple damage? Just curious because the grapple melee can proc the orb on grenade kill but also can proc the orb on melee kill mod

[@bot-qw1be]

I feel like galanor + star eater scales would be nasty

[@Eddie80580]

I would really like a build on the cyrtyrachne and renewal class item. I've been messing around with it, but I stink at this.

[@CatWithThumb]

im curious about this roll and then getting amplified with the artifact, i wonder how much damage reduction we can stack

[@woomyboy98]

I have this roll and I feel like it'll be good in gms. Once those roll around we'll probably see a bunch of youtubers saying stuff like "You need this op build NOW!" Just like with combination blow builds. Right now people aren't really experimenting bc combination blow is so strong on prismatic it makes every other build look bad in 90% of content

[@tjpablotj3144]

​@@woomyboy98 Combination blow is good if you're running activities solo or if there is enough ad density for you to keep going invisible and keeping the loop

[@UnclePockets]

wait why should you not dismantle the 4fun and horse drawing class items? would it not be way better to just run the basic exotic (good part of the horse) and get additional profits?

[@boosheedoe4403]

nice hoodie bro I had an OF bag all of highschool lmfaoo great vid

[@sajmon2771]

I really like having inmost light with gyrfalcon while using a weapon with repulsor brace, constantly reprocking invisibility and shields.

[@brendonpatrick4107]

do you think nighthawk is still better for gm nightfalls over calibans/liars?

[@corruptsolstice340]

Theoretically, you could run Assassins Cowl to replace Stylish with Decoys and get an extra fragment.

[@SOS_Tajj]

i’m lost can you equip multiple exotics now ?

[@michaeladams3640]

The shatter damage on duskfield SHOULD be considered grenade damage, I do know for a fact that shatters inside duskfield proc facet of bravery's volatile rounds so I think it's safe to assume that duskfield shatters also benefit from grenade damage buffs

[@JC_III]

Foetracer / gyrfalcon is just super buffed void weapons and high uptime on invs

[@ryanmolloy5421]

Does the star eater buff stay around if you pop Goldie and then swap to nighthawk? I feel like there's no way it does...

[@KapasaGamer]

Unironically smoke bomb foetracer does a lot

[@radtacular2218]

Not deleting any rolls is wild advice. You want me to keep 192 vault spaces open just for these things?

[@VikingEdits]

Great Video Mac! Thank you for continued GREAT content!

[@theonlyotherdan6587]

Here's the thing. With surges in all endgame activities, you're having to sacrifice parts of builds anyway. So foe and stars is actually cracked for surges.

[@matteodegroeve9172]

I had to work ik the garden but when i saw this pop up i asked if i could watch it but i the time i watched i had to work that double SO YOU BETTER LIKE THIS👹

[@out_lander0111]

I got fotracer and falcon and I'm using it with wavesplitter and I have melt stuff and I suppress everything. Once it's level 3 is chunks adds and champion like butter

[@Quantumwastaken]

Ophidian + Star Eater for DPS Rotations imo belongs at least in Not Trolling, if base supers get buffed or changed in the future for prismatic hunter it could be very viable over something like Celestial swapping

[@erickumori]

Forgive me if I’m incorrect, but didn’t bungie say Combination blow is no longer considered a “Powered Melee” unless the ability icon is fully charged? Would that affect calibans liability?

[@DeliriousDrifter]

no, bungie hasn't nerfed combination blow

[@DanteAmerigo]

Mac, are you planning on doing a video like this for warlocks and titans also??

[@heaych]

Nah, those guys stink!

[@bossleprechaun4044]

So I don’t have the final Shape and now I’m curious. You can wear two exotics now or what’s going on with the pairs?

[@jez76]

The new exotic class item (for hunters: cloak) combines two exotic perks from old exotic gear.

[@hue_lord_4208]

Galanor and Synthos would actually go crazy with a grapple melee build.
