This GODLIKE Arc Titan Build OBLITERATES Endgame Destiny

[@GloverGaming3]

One thing about Thunderclap is that you don't have to fully charge it if you're just looking to give double empowered to your grenade. You can just give a quick shot to a nearby enemy and then thruster out of cover and throw a grenade

Ill probably do this because I absolutely hate having to sprint for a bit to get shoulder charge off it makes gameplay feel clunky

Hey Mac will you include a Mobalitics page for this build? I understand if its faster and easier for you to use DIM links but the former is more detailed and easier to understand as the viewer.

[@LampsPants]

Always super happy to see you give Titans some love

[@LordTonzilla]

You probably want the fragment that creates an ionic trace when you kill a jolted target instead of the one that makes and orb on amplified multikills, especially if you're triggering jolt with a weapon and not just your grenade.

[@Treymanblok]

Even better, remove Spark of Resistance since you won't make much use of it in harder content whereas killing Jolted targets will be happening 95% of the run, it all depends on your playstyle (aggressive/passive) but generally speaking Well of Ions will benefit you in all activities.

[@Thetravelingmonke]

Definitely because jolt is really easy to use since things like ikelos voltshot exist

[@gibster9624]

You'd think that. But there is a huge difference running aplitude over Jolt. Constantly having full stacks of armor and being able to get some cooldowns as well as chunks of health is far more valuable than a single ionic trace.

[@Johangecool]

It has a 10 second cooldown which is really bad just for one extra ionic trace every 10 sec

[@TheGamingWraith]

i don't even play destiny anymore but i still find these videos entertaining

[@rampage0092]

Pretty solid build, and like you said, the demise of HOIL is not a thing.

[@MacticsG1]

The demise of HOIL was greatly exagerrated

[@_ghostly_]

"Did you ever hear the tragedy of The Heart Of Inmost Light? I thought not. It’s not a story Bungie would tell you. It’s a KZbin legend. HOIL was an exotic claimed to be the meta, so powerful and so available it could used with Arc to kill hundreds of adds. Some had such a knowledge of build crafting that they could influence the choices of hundreds of players' main class. The meta of Destiny 2 is a pathway to ability spam some consider to be... unnatural. It became so powerful, the only thing KZbinrs were afraid of was it losing its power, which eventually, of course, it did. Unfortunately, Bungie noticed this, killed it at its prime. Ironic. It saved other builds from death, but not itself. Not until now, that is." Somehow, HOIL has returned.

[@rampage0092]

@@_ghostly_ did you hear about the exotic that was supposed to be nerfed. They hit it once, they hit it twice. But it kept……..coming………back……..

[@Djerunk]

Meh idk man, the numbers don't lie. Halving the ability regen buff duration while also putting class ability regen down to 1/6 of its former value means you can almost never perpetuate a x2 buff for more than 5 secs, which is what made the exotic so good. It functions at less than 1/8 of its previous effectiveness because the buff can't be prepetuated. Sure it still gives some regen when using abilities but it almost isn't even the same exotic anymore. They really should just rework it again. I think the even bigger problem is that titans don't actually have that many ability regen exotics to use in high end content that can take HOIL's place. Mask of the Quiet one is the closest we get.

[@rampage0092]

@@Djerunk I have been using it since the nerf and have not felt any kind of difference. The numbers say one thing, but the game says something completely different. HOIL is fine where it is, and is still one of the top exotics in the game straight up. I think you have a bad take. I don’t say this to be disrespectful I just think you’re mistaken.

[@raizehunter96]

Mac love your builds man this build was my OG Titan build but armamentatarium seriously made me switch because of the elemental charge I get back from ionic trace from pulse nades and grenade kickstart mod i fry champs disgustingly fast.

[@NobodyDungeons]

I feel like thunder clap should provide a significant damage reduction when charging it up, or it need to let you move around.

[@xKawaiiKani]

I think this is the first video I've actually approved of, but cuirass thundercrash every minute is still funky and point contact monte carlo is still fun. Arc Titan just isn't a complicated subclass and its simplicity stands out. Basically I cba to care about keeping regen buffs active in place for double TC dmg.

[@DeadmanEmsland]

What weapons should be used for this build?

[@Thetravelingmonke]

The healing class ability is definitely very creative and honestly a life saver but instead of the orbs while amped I personally think that spark of ions is better since it allows more ability recharge since your abilities such as reaper and pulse creating orbs super easily and since hands on is only 1 power this season its even easier, also thunderclap is better in my opinion since you dont need to use the full charge, but shoulder charge does give more utility mobility and unstop stunning capabilities but overall amazing build that I’ll definitely add to my lodouts

[@gibster9624]

If you run it even once you'll feel a drastic difference between the 2. Shoulder charge is definitely better in most situations with champions especially and amplitude also helps start health regen on orb pick us where ions does not. You can nearly double your orb generation in a single strike and keep your armor charges topped off better which does more for cooldowns than a single ionic trace will do as well.

[@Thetravelingmonke]

⁠@@gibster9624with the setup and uptime on grenades jolted enemies become very common but this tends to be more for on level to lower end content while your setup is def better for hard content, i just run ions and thunderclap because I tend to play easier content which is why I prefer them

[@Whayleejay]

To be honest this video has stand out production quality. Also excellent explanations.

[@TheChosenKey]

Ugh I can't wait to try this. Gotta wait another week to get back on Titan.

[@Sonic3rdgen10R]

Ty for the dim link

[@Fiveoftwo]

Absolutely fun and easy to use build .. thanks man

[@yeetyah403]

Thunderclap is just straight up better than shoulder charge, tap melee to hit from range almost instantly, doesn’t require sprint to start up, doesn’t waste time on your already short 5 seconds. Sure you can also fully charge it to do nice damage to healthier targets but the only purpose of your melee on this build imo is just to empower the other two for the regen and damage. Loop feels more reliable and fluid with thunder clap. Helmet: ashes 2x, (free slot) Arms: Firepower, bolstering detonation, impact induction Chest: charged up, (resist/reserves) Boots: Recuperation, stacks on stacks, absolution Mark: Distribution, powerful attraction, utility kickstart (assuming it still isn’t disabled when you’re reading this)

[@_ghostly_]

Shoulder charge stuns unstoppable champs

[@yeetyah403]

@@_ghostly_ yes, yes it can. Considering unstoppable champions are probably the most lethal and important targets to take down whenever they are around though, you are 99% of the time going to have a weapon with unstoppable on you. Shoulder charging an enemy than can one tap you is not very worth it imo. Ofc I’m referring strictly to using this in grandmaster content, because the stronger the enemies are the more useful this build becomes because of the indirect buffs it will give you on your ionic grace generation. It’s best to just stun from afar and chuck a pulse nade and get your nade back

@@yeetyah403 fair enough, I personally have never attempted a GM before but I can understand why it would be better to use a weapon to stun them.

[@MildsandThatYac]

I love this build but I got something you should try to make HOIL beyond busted. If you have a Deliverance or Iterative loop crafted with Enhanced Lead from Gold and Enhanced Demolition the down time of which you get your grenade back just doubles putting it back to pre nerf I’m not even joking, not to mention the orbs you collect giving your abilities even more uptick then you have your class ability which you can just aimlessly spam constantly giving you energy back plus the ionic traces I rarely use my weapons because I’m just constantly getting my abilities back so fast. Only time I use it is to top off my grenade or doing damage to the boss and that’s it. You should give it a go

[@mauvemonk]

Hey Mac!!!! An interesting build guide by you on Anthem’s classes would be sooo cool. It was on sale here recently and a ton of new engagement.

[@snacki_6730]

Thunderclap still better in almost all scenarios. You make a big deal about fully charging thunderclap to get the maximum damage, but thunderclap is not the focus of this build. thunderclap is for the instantaneous activation of "empowered" and so you can keep your pulse grenade + thruster loop going. And it still much safer than shoulder charge since you are a good distance away from enemies when used in it's effective range. Also, in arc burn environments, a barely charged thunderclap with 1x empowerment will still one-shot red bars.
