Solo GM Lake of Shadows - Threadling Warlock (Tormentor Skip No Heat Rises / No Grapple) [Destiny 2]

[@kamrinmartin6236]

i love how i’ve completed this gm twice in like 30 attempts with 3 people this week but this man does it solo

[@xxix6567]

eso’s skills are incredible.

[@doshitirth983]

What this was the easiest gm for me to finish with 3 people of course. The hardest one was the psiops battleground that damn thing was at the beginning was so bad we had to switch to invise hunter

"threadlings are unviable for gms" my ass, go forth my army

thats the power of this seasons artifact mod horde shuttle. Without it the couldn't clear so good and spread themselves. Should be baked into broodweaver if I am honest

[@wyldingone8092]

This is a cool build, thanks for showcasing it!

[@jmfe10]

Nice video. They need to add the Horde Shuttle mod to the exotic perk on Swarmers. It would fix the threadling generation problem (they'e just not frequent enough) and give swarmers a proper "swarm" identity.

[@stephancleyne2135]

No it should be added as a fragment so the titan and hunter can make proper threadling builds aswell.

[@syveenwolf]

​@@stephancleyne2135you are joking right? Currently hunters can produce more threadlings than warlocks who are supposed to be the threadling class mind you lol. Titan strand is already one of if not the best class in the game do you really want to buff it ???

[@syveenwolf]

It also feels really weird that they don't intrinsically increase threadling damage.

[@RomanPunchyBoy]

​@@stephancleyne2135That has the same energy as when i would say make banner of War a fragment so all classes have it. Just no

[@wydaaron]

was waiting for someone to use this build

[@Sophhx]

how is he destroying the barrier champs im so confused

[@Huligane]

Artifact mod makes you radiant from 3 precision hits with a solar weapon. Radiant= barrier rounds

[@visxvendetta]

I do not have apex at the moment, but I hope to get it soon. I do have the crux termination with clown cartridge and bipod. Is this a good substitute? Also, what is the difference between bipod and bait and switch, and when should one be used over the other? Edit: Thanks for the good info, everyone!

[@untizioacaso8812]

Bait and switch is a perk that's best suited for doing damage to bosses and that's why the top options for rockets in terms of dps (cold comfort and apex) use that perk, bipod increases total ammo the weapon can hold ignoring what ammo reserve mods can do, and it's better for when dealing with champs or stuff where you're not mainly concerned on doing damage but surviving, so your heavy can be used to quickly shred minibosses/champs but not actual bosses

[@visxvendetta]

@untizioacaso8812 Awesome, thanks for the info!

[@LanceizPro]

^What he said. My advice is to craft two Apex Predators, one with Recon/BnS for boss dps and the other with Recon/Bipod for GMs when you want deep ammo reserves.

[@yashugoyal1772]

Crux is a good rocket but this GM has a solar surge so Apex is better here. There's also stasis surge(I think) so the ghosts of the deep rocket is just as good.

[@superbob24]

Disgusting what they did to this strike.

[@CNSpadesK]

[@baldheadDamion]

@Esoterickk I have tried your doing this GM minus the RL cause I don’t have it and every TIME 19x 😅😅I get to the eye boss (1st boss) I keep getting thrashed on, I know it’s user error cause I’m no Eso. My main question to you is, do I need to play aggressive passive or vice versa? Hoping for a reply.

[@Esoterickk]

If the first boss is what you're having trouble with, the better approach is usually just playing it slower. If you want to take your time and just get the clear, you can also play it from far range and you'll be a lot safer. Keep an eye out for the blasts and the rest will be fine

[@nathanddrews]

I wasn't going to waste my time, but I forgot about Undercurrent GL being the NF weapon. My current roll isn't great.

[@looksnormal]

Forbearance still beats it except for rare applications where Jolt via Voltshot would be more useful

[@nathanddrews]

@@looksnormal I basically never raid, so I'm not getting that anytime soon.

@@whiterose2321 damn you glazing hard bro. Get up off your knees.

[@adaplays3528]

Could you explain the value of Swarmers? Can't unravel be applied to a target via the melee and spread to the room by just damaging that enemy? Or is it the two threadlings on tangle detonation that are the main draw? I don't understand.

[@Sathanie]

it can indeed spread, you are not wrong, but the more you apply unravel, the more it'll spread fast i believe. Or at the very least, every threadlings might be able to infect another target. It also gives some threadlings to tangles which is always neat. But really swarmers are like the only exotic that buff strand warlock. The rest are more niche.

[@Esoterickk]

Extra threadlings are nice on the tangle, and being able to constantly have unravel without relying on the melee is nice. Nothing else really feeds into the threadling build, so they just add a little more to them

[@adaplays3528]

Thank you!@@Esoterickk

[@Victorioinator]

Tyranny or Pre Astyanax? Opinions lol

[@thestateofyum6991]

weapon they using is tyranny, i personally use pre-nasty just because i like that bow.

[@pooPbutwhole]

Can‘t go wrong with either, just a personal preference thing

[@andvan5171]

Both. I run pre ass on warlock and tyranny on hunter.

[@ringomandingo1015]

You can craft Tyranny for easy godroll but Origin Trait on Pre might be tons of fun.

[@thestateofyum6991]

Do note that there’s a weird bug with pre nasty, when issuing the stunning recovery origin trait; whenever you stun with the bow (at least with unstops) the bow kinda freezes animation wise, and seems like it un-draws any drawn arrows when the stun occurs

[@SantiagoGT15]

It’s sad that this is the only viable way of doing the boss

[@looksnormal]

the room and fight mechanics are garbage. For some reason Bungo still hasn't picked up on the fact that a small room that damages you and spawns loads of enemies, and a boss that both suppresses you constantly and punishes you for pushing too far into its health pool is not enjoyable or worth wasting time on doing the intended way

[@tonykeally1039]

@@looksnormalit’s actually not that bad, people just refuse to try to do it legit. If you spawn kill the psiona the ads are easily manageable, and if you destroy the taken artifacts the blight on the floor recedes quickly. Easy w 3 ppl that know what to do and don’t just dump all their ammo into the boss trying to end it in 5 seconds. Js it’s not a bad design people are just lazy. I can understand why a solo would have a hard time w the mechanics, but to be fair I’ve seen less skilled players solo this legit. I’m sure he could if he wanted to.

[@tonykeally1039]

It’s not tho. People just don’t understand the mechanics.

[@looksnormal]

@@tonykeally1039 well, partly. They say viable because the intended strategy takes far too long and is too prone to error, similar to something like GM Battlegrounds. The cheese methods obviously aren't the only way to do them, but they are by far the best and easiest approach
