Hellion would be good with this build too. More scorch damage.

[@tambulee]

That's what I'm eying, too 😁

[@alexvollmar7778]

Frrrrrrr

[@lizard2361]

Well I think that there is so much scorth that the hellion won't help as much

[@LadyJadeThe2nd]

@@lizard2361 not actually, it applies enough scorch at base to deal a scorch in 5 shots (4 with the fragment I think) add on every other bit of scorch, your getting even faster ignition

[@AzrealJ]

@@LadyJadeThe2ndyou mean ignite and with ashes it ignites in 3 vs 4

[@joelm3281]

Helion and Dawn Chorus go hard. Add the fragments that gives melee energy when killing scorched targets, and getting rift energy whwn scorching stuff, a incandescent weapon, and you are set

[@Dino-Rahhh]

Wait I never thought of that before, thank you

[@IGNITERTON]

I am doing this a lot with solar titan and hazardous propulsion. Been rocking dragon's breath + hazardous already. Its going to be so fun with the ignition buffs tomorrow 😊

[@dougcarey2233]

I have a Long Walk with overflow and frenzy, and a Twilight Oath with surplus and precision instrument. Can't wait to try this out.

[@M4st3rDuck]

I actually came up with a version of my own this weekend lol. Did hellion and incendiary grenades, with a crafted adhorative with heal clip and incandescent. Basically play floor is lava with the enemies.

[@cody.dorton2123]

I used something like this all week for the grandmaster nightfall. Would routinely end the mission with nearly 200 kills and never ran out of ammo. No well or song of flame. Hellion makes the neutral game so good and the right fragments/mods allow it to practically never end. So much fun.

[@tylerlloydboone]

Chorus has been the goat for years. Dragon’s Breath is the cherry on top

[@Based_Shogun]

Since the rework, heckin right.

[@Lorentz_Driver]

Meh. It doesn't add any more stacks though, just damage. So if anything you'll be proc-ing fewer ignitions.

[@denny8422]

​@@Lorentz_Driver are you saying Chorus reduces rate of ignitions or am I misunderstanding?

[@mrbae233]

@@denny8422it used to give more stacks of scorch making it quicker to ignite, now it doesn’t give extra scorch so it takes the same amount of time

[@conbawn]

@@mrbae233not really it’s bc everything dies from the 300% scorch damage so less ignitions

[@Kagedxp]

Dang, I didn’t think about this. Literally just did a solo flawless of GoA using dragons breath and dawn chorus. Great video!

[@henicyde1427]

Ive been running this build since Season of the Wish. Thing was busted then but even moreso now! Youve shared a walking reactor meltdown :D

[@jacobhenry9976]

I’ve been running this setup basically interchanging heal grenades and fusion grenades depending on what im doing and i slap on hellion for extra scorch

[@zferolie]

dawn chorus dragons breath has been one of my favorite combos since season of the wish started. I myself use it with a supremeacy with rewind and bait, and a pluse with heal clip incan for pretty much all things covered.

[@wheezy_814]

What pulse is it that you use with heal clip/incan?

[@lizard2361]

Don't forget that in prismatic using your transcendance before super makes this build even more potent you can also use hellion but I think it's over kill

[@qPalee]

theres no such thing as overkill when it comes to boss damage

[@SilverScratch]

Honestly the song of flame Grenades don't really add up that much damage. With the new artifact mods, a more optimal rotation will probably just be spamming finger snaps and doing your weapon rotations. You'll get a longer uptime on Song of Flame for the DR and scorching rounds and more overall damage.

[@itztizzle]

facts

[@thatoneguy1741]

I got an OG ikelos sniper with triple tap and high impact reserves perk I think it is, still holds up pretty decent

[@thetruth9651]

My main warlock build is mantle of battle harmony with song of flame on prismatic with dragon's breath, and you're telling me it's going to be better? I swear I get like 5-6 supers in a solo nightfall if I'm using them whenever I can. Crazy.

[@celsonjunior9376]

iirc the last "solar gun" apllies scorch (while radiant or smth else) had something that made it not apply any scorch if the target already had anyeven a single stack; i dont expect every shot to cause ignitions

[@golddagger1276]

They already showed a trailer of the next act and showed still hunt igniting an enemy in 4 shots so yes it will 😊

[@nox7796]

Been meta for a while people were just spamming sun racers so no one could really tell. Pre TFS this was one of my favorite exotics to run on solar and now we get a rocket side arm so it’s gonna be even better.

[@russellanderson8844]

I was putting up 1.7mil per phase last week without chorus only using dragons breath and song of flame on the other in grasp. Never tested it with chorus. I'll have to see how much more I get out of that. I can't stand snipers.

[@DavePianist]

I can't wait to see your future videos testing this out. I love seeing those big dmg number.

[@shaolinrasta2289]

Man I've missed those chaining ignitions. CAN't WAIT

[@Zephyr_love]

As much as i love d breath and i like the idea of this rotation i still dont think dawn chorus is worth in comparision to nova bomb, the amount insant damage nova bomb outputs and the fact you get weaken id say out-damages solar on dawn chorus

[@afri2n]

but but dawn chorus looks nice ☹️

[@eyeswulf]

It's just going to depend. How long is the damage to phase, how mobile is the boss, do you have teammates or not? Etc etc

[@tremendoshd2356]

Ye but ignitions are swag, cataclysm is limp dick

[@AzrealJ]

Yeah I use this build but in prismatic so I can self debuff with arcane needle and void debuff

[@hondo2356]

Dawn chorus is hardly worth it period for dragons breath DPS, getting ignitions every second means there’s hardly any time for scorch ticks to build and tick.

[@Rhukzy]

I tried to grind an Uzume, best roll is 7 in mag (backup) with FTTC + Deconstruct, so guess i'll never have to reload but no dmg buff. Bought Luna Regolith III from Zavala, first roll was Triple Tap + Precision Instrument with 5 in mag (backup), so it will shot 7 with TT.

[@mefcalols4446]

Chorus and fragons breath single handedly carried me through legend Lightfall and The Final Shape. That combo is so disgusting.

[@charlestonjew7587]

Never giving up my Skyburner's and Solar Fulmination is only gonna make it sicker.

[@gormleypeach5809]

I was gonna use ikelos but then I got a 4th/precision and 4th/vorpal on Uzume so I'm real excited to use that! I haven't touched a build other than prismatic in a min but I made 2 full solar warlock build today that I'm hyped for! Might do a hunter one to later

[@klubbs617]

Don't forget about the long walk from the old prophecy weapons if you have one!

[@pitterr5]

i recently did warlords ruin solo run and was spamming dragons breath/song of flames/dawn chorus on prismatic and gotta say it deals a ton

[@itztizzle]

nice! Yeah it's solid!

[@theb1gkp958]

I had this idea as well. Thanks for making it a video!

[@ImJaspy]

If your on prismatic you could run void weakening grenades pop transcendence throw a grenade the pop your super then go crazy DPS

[@ivytowergaming]

Watching your other video 'Everything You Have Ever Wanted To Know About Scorch', you say that if you apply scorch with dawn chorus, then when other players add scorch stacks, that damage gets buffed by the original damage source's multipliers. Is there a way to take advantage of this in a team situation? Like, is there a way to ensure that one player is always the first to apply scorch after an ignition so that their Dawn Chorus multiplies all the other players' damage?

[@itztizzle]

Yes but probably not worth the hassle. Definitely not realistic on something like a witness damage phase

[@vajeeterskeeter9312]

This was my build last episode, just with the ritual SMG and the legendary witherhorde. that and I used hellion icarus dash

[@MeanMachineRAF]

Why would I use Vorpal instead of precision instrument on uzume?

[@erikburgundy1769]

Because Vorpal is 15% on special. Precision Instrument stacks, so you need to hit four precision hits before Precision Instrument becomes a better damage buff. So it’s just not worth it.

[@Creature-ology]

Great video! Excited to use this, could you show us your Armor mods?

[@natestrand4922]

Luna Regolith 3 is high impact solar legendary that can roll clown and firing line

[@TheReecesl94]

Ergo sum with vortex and 5th times perk + dawn chorus is the highest sword dps in the game

[@kristopherkoperski7103]

Hey tizzle, as a longtime destiny player and long time subscriber here , I always appreciate your takes when it comes to what weapons and perks to run however I am curious as to why you prefer focused fury over high impact reserves on the ikelos SR? HIR gets a large bonus when the perk becomes enhanced compared to FF (can proc on 75% of the mag vs 50%)

[@itztizzle]

some perks I just don't like. HIR is one of them

[@mikelarry1068]

If you can get that new sniper rifle Domino, I think it can run with incandescent

[@dnpsquar]

cant do damage becuase im bad ( i use thunder lord only)

[@JDxxatteis]

Best DPS weapon in the game 😒

[@dnpsquar]

@@JDxxatteis i mean it's easy effective and reliable instead of the hyper optimized stuff other people do.

[@poolboyque]

Good dps tbh

[@LadyJadeThe2nd]

​@@dnpsquar thunder lord isn't that good for dps tho-😭 It was good because it was double procing twice with divinity Only reason it was used Even just lucky pants dps is better

[@yourbrojohno]

​@@dnpsquarif you want to do extremely low effort witness DMG I'd recommend crafting the void linear 3 burst with high ground reconstruction. Even if you don't reload and just shoot the 14 shots in the mag. It will outdmg Tlord and you can jump and walk around freely without losing too much DMG.

[@GloverGaming3]

You could've done more with Transcendence if you had actually used it for the damage buff

[@FinchSweatshirt]

Genuine question. Obviously rapid fires are gonna be best for dps but is the ikelos sniper with focused fury gonna be better than the clown firing line distant tumulus ? I have both but the ikelos is craftable

[@itztizzle]

depends if you have a fireteam

[@mattf0509]

Prismatic would be much better with void and weaken..

[@TargetSniper365]

Bro lmao. Vortex grenade and the warlock transcendence grenade both work with the fragment facet of dominance. Aka grenade weaken.

[@Daniel-eye]

just use star-eater nova bomb with edge Transit lol

[@drakewicker2999]

Envious assassin edge 6x nova 🥵

[@TargetSniper365]

This lmao. Highest burst super in the game now haha. This build relies on seasonal mods. Nova does not.

[@bluefusion912]

[@randymakin477]

Been waiting for you to drop a new video but I'm wondering if anyone else thinks that the Luna regolith 111 is the sleeper of the season I have clown an firing line I have the adept uzume with explosive or incandescent with fourthtimes but I don't know if the damage numbers are as high as it seems with firing line but it's a beast I like the domonios with shot swap an harmony but gg

[@denny8422]

Does anyone else feel like Chorus is mid as hell 😭 idk I've never liked it. scorch itself doesn't feel impactful and triple damage doesn't change that for me, nor do the melee gains on a class not known for its melee abilities. maybe I'm just outta touch or missing something

[@DaddoesDestiny]

I wonder if ember of beams and benevolence would bring anything to this🤔

[@TheSilviu8x]

What would be the absolute god roll of a sniper? Is Twilight Oath, or Luna Regolith good?

[@ryzesupremus611]

Can u use it in witness dmg phase?

[@JefferyTrypes]

Just wondering if you can ignition-stunlock a boss with only solar snipers as a team ;)

[@Red790]

FF is one of the worst perks you could have on a dps weapon for a DBreath dps combo. You lose FF when you swap so you're never going to maintain that perk

[@plootss]

dont you get griefed using dragon's breath as long as anyone else is running anything that applies scorch?

so do we think dawn chorus on solar w/ song of flame is the best of the options? or apoth w/ well or prismatic?

[@Canucklepuckcommie]

Hope everyone farmed a good Uzume from GMs this week!

[@RRRewind]

Love the thumbnail

[@CrUwUzer]

Tizzle, have you tried this on witness at all yet? I actually used this exact setup before the artifact mods were added just to see, and I wasn’t getting the ignition reload procs on DB, so my overall damage was pretty bad because I had to manually reload. Just curious if I did something wrong or if ignition are weird with the witness.

[@nicesosij2862]

You don't get DB reload on ignition you get auto reload on DBx5 you'll hear the click noise if it reloads so just keep shooting your sniper until you hear the click

[@CrUwUzer]

⁠@@nicesosij2862yes but ignitions make the propellant stack faster, and on the witness in particular I am not getting ignitions using DB, so the propellant builds way slower than any other boss in the game.

[@militantfarmerconcept569]

What is the website that actually tells you the percentages for stuff like melee regeneration and stuff on armor?

[@flopre9213]

so is dawn chorus used for the melee cooldown? i use it for the daybreak super and barely notice the increased scorch damage except it might kill some thrall in a gm or something

[@xHaxor]

Thank god someone else noticed too. Dawn chorus is only good with the Daybreak and he doesn't even use it. The scorch damage buff i almost negligible because the base damage is low. Just using necrotic would be better...

ur better off using edge transit b/s with star eater nova, and not even close. still a cool build though

[@LakerTriangle]

Thought multiple DB shots did NO extra damage??? Should you wait a bit before applying a 2nd shot?

[@gabrieltorres6633]

Does no extra damage if multiple teams run DB but getting to x5 and keeping ignition up counts. Definitely pace yourself with shots in-between though

[@LakerTriangle]

@@gabrieltorres6633 yeah I'm saying his DB shots seem too fast.

[@y_strikes2770]

This isn't strictly true. Check aegis vids for actual dps info.

[@ABlackGuyAdept]

​@LakerTriangle It reloads with 2 ignitions. Usually Dragon's Breath scorches enough for one ignition. With the fragment that gives more scorch stacks and Hellion you get 2 or 3. 2 ignitions will reload your DB.

[@ABlackGuyAdept]

I've been running Speaker mainly cuz these LFG guys I've been meeting in GMs have no brain cells. So I've been running Benevolence as the only support fragment, and I run the fragments that increase ignition size, ignition spread scorch and increased scorch stacks.

[@KevinG9012]

Would this be good to pair with a titan running rocket chest and Gjallarhorn along with the Warlock running this?

[@zip-un5tz]

Will incandescent be buffed by the new mod?

[@taylormorgan3669]

I hope they end up giving hunters a super they would get forced on for every dps which helps everyone else so they have to suffer instead of warlocks, something like an icy dome like a large dusk field which has flying daggers around the outer ring which blocks 50% of projectiles being shot at your and gives you a little resist but a damage increase matching radiant so it’s just as good or better than well so they have to use it, then titans should have a stasis super which is like throwing a diamond lance which freezes targets near its landing location (or slows if the freeze is too much) and makes a huge stasis crystal which will shatter and do huge amounts of damage in an area when the titan shoots it or it hits a boss/mini boss/ champion so it’s a dps option too, then warlocks I haven’t thought about a stasis super for them yet because this was meant to be a rant about hunters getting to dps without ever helping the team (and usually jumping/dodging in front of your heavy and killing you)

Sounds like you’re bad.. it’s okay to play all three characters buddy.

[@taylormorgan3669]

@@cferjak16 how am I bad for not wanting to use well or song of flame or even solar in general, I’d much rather enjoy using prismatic with my nova build where I maximise dps and I thought of this build when the final fragments were revealed before all the videos came in about it which most people probably didn’t do so I’m not a bad player, also I want to play the magic man over ape or stuck up t- baggers who all run the darkest shader they own, is it really that bad I want to enjoy my class than have to run something I don’t want to because people are incapable of out putting their damage without help, they are the bad players
