Ionic Traces are even better than you describe, they also give ~12.5% grenade AND melee energy too

[@ihave8brokenvertebrae561]

Is that for all types or just Arc grenades?

ha wow you're right, I know that and completely whiffed in my edit like a melee in crucible -- thanks for adding Greg🍻

[@gengarclefairy3475]

Even better than that, it gives 12.5% for grenade, melee, AND class ability

Greg still helping us make builds, even after being sunset.

Naaah that transition at 7:43 smoooooth

[@xTooXGood7x]

I was about to comment this lmao bro it was fire lmao I had to pause and go back, rewatch then I was gonna comment

[@CastleContent]

YESSSS YOU NOTICED ahhhhhhh

[@mefcalols4446]

I didn't even notice it it was so smooth. Well done

[@xtuga101]

As a visual learner myself, your video was really on point regarding the explanations, I really need to check more of your content.

[@GhostCastle7]

He doesn't post like crazy but his content is always 🔥. I love his breakdowns

[@CastleContent]

That means a lot xtuga. I'm trying to find a balance of lowering how thorough I am so that I can shorten videos and get more out, but maintain visual clarity because it's really important to me personally. As you can see I failed that balance on this video making it 19min for 1 build lol but there's always next time... ha

[@ezekiellanpheare3144]

Came to make the exact same comment 🤘 solid video!

[@zombieskittles1]

I'm so glad I watched the full video, because I was gonna ask how people are doing the arc melee thing, but you showed it and even described how it works. Good job on that! Great video!

[@kreia187]

I just wanted to say the editing in your video is superb, the best i've ever seen in a destiny build video. Looking forward to more like this. Great job.

[@Filthipino]

Please dont change the way you explain builds. I wish nothing but success for this channel as its the best one ive found yet regarding d2 builds.

[@YeezyGT]

The witness staring contest at the end messes me up man 😂

[@LOKNES1]

The breakdowns and vids are top notch. I will have to try this build out. 👍🏾

[@GG-671]

I srsly love your videos, the effort you put into them and the visual aids. Makes the video not only easier to digest, but entertaining as well.

[@MiltonStillton]

dude, just got this in my recommended, my new favorite. Love how you break things down.

[@myp3tmonster]

Just randomly looking for build ideas and your video showed up, instant sub from me. Love how much effort has gone into breaking down the build along with the editing, looking forward to more!

[@travismorrill1622]

Great video! I think I found a new build peddler lol, as a middle aged casual that works 50 hours a week, I have to make time to play my favorite games,usually solo. The depth of info is very valuable to me, not telling me but showing me why to use, what to use, and how to use is priceless. Can’t wait to get home and try it. Nice job keep doing what got ya here! 🤘

[@thegetupkid8281]

Exceptional explanation and even better editing and transitions. That hand transition jumped out and made me watch a bit closer! Not a warlock main, but I’m a subscriber for sure and will hunt your other builds.

[@retroelectrical]

Great video! Thanks for explaining the unravel mechanic as it may be confusing to new players.

[@hollandsch]

First video I've watched of you and already hooked. Love the explanations and visuals, well done.

[@deathconreaper]

Really well put together video. It’s not easy to make such a detailed video. Got my subscribe.

[@Syrock1]

It's really a fantastic build I've been using the swarmers on prismatic from day 1 of final shape but I think I'll be changing some of my fragments to you're recommendations, thanks castle 👍 great video

[@223ndog]

Thank you for making such high quality videos. Everything was spot on and explained thoroughly without rambling or taking too long. Top notch quality content every time.

[@thekoldtruth7445]

I love this video! The way you break it down in such detail is next level. Thank you!

[@christophermontijo3650]

*Makes popcorn before starting

[@OAFB]

You genuinely are one of / if not the best content creator that explains everything in a way that everyone can pick up on. Never subscribed after one video, but you deserve it all. Keep up the good work, I’ll be using your channel for all of my guides. Thank you

[@jaredpfeffer9223]

Fantastic video! Edits are top notch and the build breaks down every aspect for new lights and veterans. Subscribed for sure.

[@michaelalvarez3890]

One of the best videos ive seen detailed and explained everything PERFECTLY. Keep up the great work man

[@YourFavorteLunchLady]

Your methodical approach and word choices are impressive, quite eloquent! Great quality, and great build!

[@bumbomerazi2599]

I love the detailed explanation of why you are choosing each option. Now I just have to get all the fragments.

[@LeMarquand]

10/10 video my man. Attention to detail like no other channel. Smooth explanation throughout. Subbed 🤙🏼💯

[@GabrielHernandez-br2ug]

Been using something like this since tfs released build with the exception of a void grenade instead of threadlings because it’s so sexy and when you pop transcendence and start sliding everywhere throwing lightning everywhere and throwing the prismatic grenades it’s heaven

[@sarge205020]

I gotta say this is one of the best build videos I have ever watched. Hate I missed your channel until now! Fantastic work!!

[@vladtheinhailer1428]

I love the deep dive builds with lots of explanation as to the 'why' you chose this or that. The Mobalytics page for the build is icing on the cake!

[@THETBRETT]

I really missed swarmers this season because of Prismatic, and now they're back, thanks and subbed.

[@kurtnordli1381]

I have been running pretty much the same build with 1 minor change.... Instead of using Swarmers for extra Threadlings im using Felwinter's Helm for its ability to Suppress and Debuff it pairs great with Lightning Surge with the added bonus of extra damage from all sources to any Suppressed enemy Felwinter's Helm has Suppressed.

[@ExoRyzen]

SAME

[@lf2954]

I am by no means able to calculate all that, but how does taking the Felwinter over the Swarmers change this build?! What goes down (less ability regen maybe), what goes up (more sustainability maybe).

[@kurtnordli1381]

@@lf2954 Using felwinters helm on any build adds suppression to the build that stuns the targets on powered melee hits and finishers which also makes you do more damage against the enemy and it also stuns the enemy for a couple seconds so they are not attacking you in a sense its added layer of survivability and damage when being aggressive the stun effect has saved me so many times.

[@jbovenzi]

Awesome video... got my Warlock all set up... can't wait to try it out!

[@dhoster3673]

Absolutely awesome format, super easy to follow. Much appreciated!

[@KoschEQ]

I am a visual learner too and appreciate how you have laid all this out. Learnt alot of new things!

[@ZRAGE6]

Love the detailed videos keep up the great work, man

[@zekeescra5791]

This is THE best explanation/video of a build I've ever seen. Thank you. I wish more people did explanations like this.

[@chronobreak5123]

running Firepower on the gauntlets is pointless because The threadlings from threadling grenades don't count as grenade kills

[@SeizeHerSalad]

I use something very similar but I enjoy the new warlock chest. I suspend everything, pop the tangle and kill everything with a heavy stand. It makes me feel more in control over beefy targets because normally they have trash near them.

[@JHicks210]

Dude… you have some of the best Destiny content out. Big shout out to you for all the hard work.

[@HdTV_Hendini]

The editing and quality of this video was insane, keep it up!

[@Intricategamer13]

This is great content. Amazing job all around. Will be recommending this channel to my friends that play destiny

[@ven4673]

I'm not gonna lie, your channel is new to me but in terms of just a guide, you explain things wayyy better than some of the other more popular channels + im actually surprised ur guide on mobalytics is so well done too

[@CarySmith87]

Gonna try this out just for how consice, easy to follow and straightforward your description is.

[@DaddoesDestiny]

Something I really like about this build is the use of Hammerhead. Leading up to final shape all the big Destiny KZbinrs were hitting us with the FOMO, get the brave weapons, ya gotta get the shiny ones,”they’ll be so strong in final shape” and as I predicted now that final shape is here it’s crickets. They are all talking about the new weapons. This video highlights a weapon I grinded a lot for and now I can slap it on this build and not feel like that grind was a waste. I’m liking the video for that weapon choice alone! The builds great too 🫡

[@millennialcatparent420]

If your weapon set up lets you, using Deterministic Chaos has some good synergy with the volatile/weaken trait and the artifact mods. Just another void machine gun option, plus it has anti-barrier!

[@DaddoesDestiny]

@@millennialcatparent420 why did I grind for brave weapons to never use them? That was literally the whole point of my comment

[@austinhess4967]

​@DaddoesDestiny well except for edge transit. Still pretty great. But yes, I understand your point

[@breadman5306]

Word, I wasn't too pressed about getting a shiny. Most of the weapon drops I was getting, was just as good, if not better than shiny. Also, Hammerhead slaps!

[@DaddoesDestiny]

@@breadman5306 but the shiny ones can be upgraded now with enhancement cores and all that, but it’s not like it’s a meta defining change. I just find it funny how everyone talked them up so much a few weeks agai and now that final shape is here, nobody is putting them in builds. I use hammerhead in this and I use mountaintop in my Titan build for the new chest piece but that’s about it

[@bl4ckout36]

this build is crazy man ,having alot of fun ,thank you for

[@atlaslcv6062]

This video earned you a sub. Your explanations and editing are the best for Destiny builds.

[@giovannibovino4119]

Your Video was the perfect explanation and will continue to watch and learn more from you . Thanks 😊

New to the channel and I really enjoyed this first video. Please keep the amazing builds coming bro. Oh and just subbed because of such a well put together build and video

This style of video is perfect for learning builds! Absolutely loved it ❤

[@konteezy203]

Extremely visual concepts. I love that. Good shit

[@skylinen-david6022]

Nice elaboration of the build, thanks for sharing it, you won a new sub

[@PrismHeartOfficial]

I have been loving speaker's helm with Prizzy

[@Trevoroxx]

Saw agers. Wanted to check what other weapons you were running. I recommend the marcato as a machinegun to roll with any threadling build (and agers + Indebted pair well with it

[@tkbinks]

I watch several builders. This is one of THE MOST informative buildes that slowly breaks down the "why" of the choice. Through your explanation of how choices interact with each other, I was able to imagine several alternatives with the new exotic class items. I could see this build and others very similar clearing high end content no problem. You have definitely gained a subscriber and I'll see you in discord.

[@eliaspanayi3465]

My favourite prismatic build is bleak watcher and devour + getaway artists. Arc and stasis fills the bars, you can capitalise on your grenade twice in one go, and get it back passively because your turrets are always on. I dont really vibe with the transcendent grenade so i just use the activation as a nice "oh shit" button to instantly renew all 3 arcane needle charges to proc a fresh devour in a bind.

[@drewfoster6138]

Such a well thought out and put together video. 100% subbing for the next ones!

[@maxtopliss1552]

I will adopt this build immediately!🤙🏻

[@danthebruiser985]

This was exactly the build I was looking for, thank you

[@BigBoss-kc4py]

ive seen many warlock build and used one for solar and wone for prismatic, but this is the best ive seen yet for every subclass

[@Chava_146]

Loving the guardian model and lines pointing from armor to respective mods. ❤

[@timothyxxxpaul]

This is probably the best explanation of a build I ever seen. Subbed

[@HaloEchoe419]

The Call - Buried Bloodline with catalyst - and a void machine gun (Hammerhead) are amazing guns that have worked really well for me. You have devour up constantly so Buried Bloodline will weaken anything it hits plus benefits from volatile rounds, pull out hammerhead and go to town. The Call to blow up the green nukes. It's amazing. Love this build.

[@jamiebriggs1115]

Awesome vid and explanation 10/10 I have used this build but instead of swarmers I have got a exotic class item with spirit of necrotic and swarm so I will test this out thanks again and 100% worth subscribing

[@bl5517]

Very thorough, a great build video.

[@sheergoatification3885]

Agers is definitely more than valid but final warning also is a option, helps apply darkness defbuff and will feed into those tangles too, I haven’t seen how juicy the catalyst is yet though

[@snickersanyone]

The catalyst is amazing. Final Warning is criminally underrated.

[@EepyGirlLava]

@@snickersanyone no shhhhh as a final warning main we cant let them know, I dont want another thing to get nerfed into the ground.

When getaway bleakwatcher gets eventually nerfed, this will be great to fall back on

[@hazardous8301]

This is warlock we’re talking about, you shouldn’t need to worry about nerfs for awhile.

[@e.n.9626]

​@@hazardous8301Warlocks never start out OP, tho. We never get to be fun. Also, we're ad-clearers, in other words: High bursts of damage, but doesn't last, so the higher the content, the lower the damage.

[@hazardous8301]

@@e.n.9626 warlocks have been THE meta class since d2 release, with the only exceptions being a brief period after launch with striker titan, and a brief period after arc 3.0 with storm nade titan. Not to mention they had indisputably the strongest build in the game(even for boss DPS) for over 3 years straight, and took a full raid team clearing worlds first in just over 2 hours for bungie to finally do something about it. They removed Resto times 2 from a titan exotic, meanwhile warlocks can get Resto times 2 for free, and can even give it to their whole team. Not only that, banner got repeatedly nerfed because of its survivability, despite banner, even with woven mail, still gives less Mathematical survivability then Resto times two, which again? Warlocks can get for free, and even give it to their team.

[@chazloggins7577]

Bro bleakwatcher is buns compared to hellion. That’ll never get nerfed, takes forever to freeze such a crappy aspect to choose from

[@SleepySlevin]

This build with thunderlord for overload, and a chill clip fusion for unstoppable, you're set. Gonna try with ashes to assets on helm too.

[@prestonhaglund261]

Sharing this to discord and making a loadout for this after work

[@Pkw]

unless im getting the strand debuffs from something else, the new exotic class item applies it with spirit of the storm even tho it doesnt say it does in the description, so u can pair it with another good first perk like Spirit of Inmost Light

[@DGlattiator]

Amazing build! and definitely worth subscribing for more

[@Shmaids]

I usually never watch build videos but as a strand and warmers enthusiast I’m absolutely gonna use this 😭

[@flupyt1182]

I like weaver call more than the arc surge and us the dive class ability. This gives you more threadlings and when using super you can cycle grenade , melee, dive. So i create threadlings while in super.
