[@taixgoated]

Dead messenger,borealis and hardlight should have (volt shot,destabilizing and incandescent) on top of the normal bonuses it gets from switching elements.Just to make it viable in pve.

[@BigKrisco]

Definitely agree on this

[@dailydestiny8151]

Ain’t no way he said conditional finality doesn’t do anything unique

[@115zombies935]

It doesn’t. Everything it can do, you can do with multiple other things. It’s a work horse weapon like they said, its strength isn’t that it’s unique.

[@jaysmoth6314]

Why would anyone use conditional when riptide exists

[@chrisseguin1621]

This man is totally wrong with a few weapons. But Conditional finality is probably the best special weapons with the freez and explode so versatile.

[@Ghoats]

@@jaysmoth6314bruh what

[@QuandaleDingle001]

The fact that unique does apply 2 different type of light and darkness energy in a dual barrels

[@nappy6806]

Conditionally finality with no back up plans slaps

[@johnnywalker8282]

Buried Bloodline being in S while Conditional is in A is comical

[@ryzesupremus611]

U have conditioner but don’t have blower?🤣🤣🤣

[@HassanGary123]

if Helm of Saint-14 applies weapons of light buff on the titan glaive bubble it will easily jump to A or maybe even S tier

[@RestAssuredYT]

100% agree. Fingers crossed it does lol

[@oksobasically3278]

@@RestAssuredYTit should, it applies blinding to the mini bubble

[@Le_Mos]

Just as a note, Witherhoard does not make enemies Taken. That is a separate DPS increase that Malfeasance can get. It can get both 25% damage for an enemy being taken and 25% for an enemy being stuck with Witherhoard. Great video though!

[@RestAssuredYT]

Thank you and thanks for the clarifaction!

[@r0main.895]

did legend onslaught this afternoon with 2 randoms, turned out all of us were using burried bloodline. let me tell you it was extremely chill and easy (with a strandlock, voidlock and void hunter), very good experience + dropped to goated luna after that.

[@joshuaowens570]

Let’s not forget the changes coming to my little Bastion 🤗

[@RestAssuredYT]

I can't wait lol! I just wanted this list based off of what we have in the game now though.

[@gravitonlance3610]

Arbalest has one use, and even that isn’t mandatory anymore. It’s more of a C/B pick honestly.

[@RestAssuredYT]

I still think it's just a decent special to use. It has decent ammo and damage and can take out whatever shield you want. However I can see the argument for B.

[@gravitonlance3610]

@@RestAssuredYT Valid point. Thanks for the input 🤟

[@Deeeeve]

A few things about Prometheus lens. On a Titan it can scorch things without a kill causing whatever you kill to make a sunspot. It also has incandescent so kills spread scorch. It also has an exotic version of subsistence sore reloading is very minimal. After this season's artifact is gone Prometheus lens is the best way to proc ember of searing on a consecration solar build.

[@SlimeyZockt]

As someone who loves Bastion, B tier is probably the best spot to put it. I hope the new buff makes it A tier

[@LuckyCharms9977]

Arbalest really helped with Warlords Ruin Final encounter for me

[@redlildevil1]

When should you use divinity

[@ItaChu787pr]

Can you do a here what isnt nerfed use this and be overpowered going into the final shape builds? .... please? if you have time

[@ivansarmiento6659]

Conditional finality a tier that's an insult

[@dailydestiny8151]

Real

[@KreeTerry]

I think agers is gonna be even better with the mantle of battle harmony changes. I had been playing around with a voidlock agers build using a Rod Arago to proc mantle and agers to mow down everything that ros has trouble with. Harmonic siphon and firepower generate orbs and echo of undermining is the cherry (grape?) on top to up the damage even more. Let mantle buff your heavy and energy weapon and bring stasis surge to beef up agers.

[@prid3_33]

There are some niece builds with those glaives that can make anyone immortal the warlocks can give you constant and effortless restoration x2

[@xavia475]

Mark my words bastion gonna be s tier when the buff comes out (coping)

[@oloidhexasphericon5349]

Thank you for keeping ex diris a secret 😉, literally did legend onslaught with its perks

[@charlestonjew7587]

FR, I have and 'off-build' loadout with it and it slaps.

[@miguelon701]

The best use from delicate tomb is not the add clearing, is the amount of ionic traces it creates with all those kills and how it helps you recharge your abilities super fast, don’t compare it to volt shot hahaha

[@giovannialain]

imagine not putting Conditional in S. insane.

[@witnessrc4862]

Merciless and buried bloodline above agers and conditional is crazy

[@rope7654]

"Things like incan can also apply scorch" and then proceeds to ignore that Prometheus has incan and passive scorch. Borealis getting C rank is absolutely criminal to everything that got put below a C and Eriana's getting the same rank as it even after mentioning lucky pants is just wild.

[@charlestonjew7587]

Ruinous Effigy is fun as hell. I still don't think it's worth taking into a raid but with the right build, you can literally dance circles around ads and slam dunk Champions like you're Michael Jordan. I've had some moderate success in PvP with it as well. It's just a really fun mechanic if you give zero 'F's about being competitive or optimizing loadouts.

[@colbym7610]

I just hate only being able to situationally use special exotics over primary

[@christophwaltz8919]

😂😂all the youtubers cheersleaders comnent 😂😂😂

[@joemama-fq6qn]

Jotunn is actually good for killing the shank on the goa final boss

[@marasenna781]

“Yo-tan”

[@AmbidextrousGaming]

Where’s Vex Mytho rank? I’m wondering if it’s going to get the fusion rifle damage buff in TFS

[@shidderalpha2293]

It's not a special weapon

[@AmbidextrousGaming]

@@shidderalpha2293 True. For some reason I was thinking special since it goes in the second slot.

[@Termite1157]

personally i would put it in A tier. good at chewing through red bars and the linear is nice to kill majors as well as chunk bosses. it also gets a HUGE bonus against champs, it can delete them in one or two shots. only downside is that it needs kills to charge rather than hits like revision zero so it can drop off in encounters with not many enemies and it can’t be backup dps.

[@christianx32]

@@AmbidextrousGaming special weapon indicates the ammo, not the slot. Slot indicates the type of weapon. first slot has kinetic, stasis, and strand. Second slot has void, solar, and arc.

[@shidderalpha2293]

No way you just put Dead Messenger above the Bug Gun

[@BigPapasmurf84]

All three exotic class glaive has improved overtime. I have a build for each one and they are lot better (with the right build) then players give them credit for

[@charlestonjew7587]

but would you take them into a Raid or GM?

[@BruhExe-kh2bv]

Aint no way bro thinks edge of concurrence is only for add clear

[@chicknwing2742]

Pretty good list

[@reginahylton9232]

Decent list

[@Jackie2Sox]

Dead messenger is not getting “stronger” next season it’s just not getting nerfed lmfao

[@Stetson819]

Hunter glaive in f tier is crazy.

[@115zombies935]

F tier is generous

[@whiterose2321]

@@115zombies935be a little more open minded, it slaps, you just don’t know

[@115zombies935]

@@whiterose2321 Legendary glaives are better. It gets slapped more like lol

[@RestAssuredYT]

It's honestly just that I don't foresee you ever running it over anything else. It's more of problem with glaives just not being super worth it over other options. If glaives somehow ever become meta it will for sure rise in the list!

[@charlestonjew7587]

@@RestAssuredYT Biggest problem with Glaives is there are few, if any armor mods that synergize with Glaives. Yes the projectile does count as elemental weapon damage type but it's still a poor-man's shotgun and the melee damage, while considered kinetic, does not fall into kinetic weapon damage so none of the kinetic weapon armor mods work with glaives. There's like one or two melee mods that improve grenade or super energy generation but nothing that directly improves the glaive itself.

[@arjunbaweja7755]

Conditional finality is a weird take.

[@godzillamc5213]

Way too generous with some and weirdly harsh on other, in what world is borealis not F tier

[@ellijahbelcher8965]

Witherhord ain’t S any more

[@kennysocool1297]

Divinity is b tier at best

[@Ah-pd2sv]

I love conditional on pve but in pvp it’s fucking annoying like just nerf it in pvp only please don’t touch it in pve

[@blacwido3954]

I’m likely gonna be using Vexcalibur in the Final Shape raid since Well is being nerfed. We’ll have to see how it holds up.

​@@nappy6806 Word of dawn will be the new well, might wanna pre make a bubble build with helm of saint 14, the helmet will give weapons of light

[@johnnallen8052]

Eriana’s Vow at C Tier is crazy, that gun is a serious work horse weapon

[@sQuaTsiFieD]

Erianas hasn't been in the meta for years. Last time I saw it used well was in duality speed runs but even then it was very niche and just to kill phalanx. It needs to one shot barriers which it can't and it would probably get used more.

[@johnnallen8052]

@@sQuaTsiFieD A gun not being“in the meta” doesn’t make it C tier, it just means that everyone else isn’t using it, and just because everyone else isn’t using something doesn’t make it bad or mid. It doesn’t need to 1 shot a barrier to be viable, like I said, it’s a work horse weapon. It has: Intrinsic anti barrier, Auto loading holster (allowing you to switch to your heavy to finish a barrier champ if necessary), Amazing ammo economy, Solar synergy, Lucky pants synergy, and really good range. You just need to understand how to use it and what makes it a work horse weapon to most effectively capitalize off of it’s strengths

[@PowerrewoP]

@@sQuaTsiFieDerianas is fantastic in solo play especially against cabal it shreds and it’s quick look at dungeon speed runs

[@TrumpsGoofyAssMugshot]

its buff in tfs is gonna be meta. when it breaks shields the target ignites

[@yashugoyal1772]

​@@johnnallen8052 By that logic, alot of other weapons could also be bumped up. Eriana's is just not worth the slot anymore.

[@chrisoramas478]

Merciless in S tier in the same breath as div is insane lmao

[@MrFunsizeddamien]

Dont get me wrong, merciless is good but not meta defining, id say maybe B or A max

[@asimplefarmer6747]

Merciless is one of the defining solo dps weapons, it may not be very flashy but it 100% deserves a spot up there.

[@clarence3238]

Buried bloodline in S is crazy, because that is genuinely one of the most useless exotics

[@austingarner7740]

Dude you literally have the WORST tier lists of all tier lists to ever be a tier list. Do you even play this game? ???

[@bekfistwolf8248]

Navigator isn't that good

[@coreypark3244]

it's niche no doubt, but it so excels in it's niche and enables the highest dps strategy in the game. if you see anybody solo anything now, I guarantee navigator and strand titan will feature.

[@PlutoDarknight]

We have a craftable legendary fusion rifle that almost does what Merciless does, sorry but that opinion is shit

[@yashugoyal1772]

Lmao no it doesn't. You clearly haven't used merciless if you think any legendary fusion can do what it does.
