[@n3crobard]

FYI Facet of Dominance goes pretty hard with the Getaway build. While you're consuming your nade a lot, sometimes you just want some extra damage to put down, and storm nades with jolt are handy. The best part though is that you can apply weaken with your prismatic nades for some truly explosive damage cycles. Just about everyone has messed with this one by now, but there are definitely some optimizations you can make to get things really fired up depending on where you run it. Another thing you can do is run Buried Bloodline in order to drop Feed the Void for Hellion, providing you with 3 turrets AND a devour source. Great double special build paired with the new stasis area denial gl. Being amplified all the time is amazing as well, it's a hard one to put down.

Cross played that hunter build to a crayon muncher's full potential. Build has so much more to offer; at times, the prismatic meter was filling up so rapidly. Could have popped prismatic 3-4 times more with longer duration.

[@LJWILL-xz4wf]

Build Battle videos are my favourite Destiny content on KZbin.

[@silverfortune2205]

The biggest thing with the warlock build is that it's such a standard build maybe outside weapons (sort of) but everything else was what you'd expect because duh prismatic warlock slaps hard af, while the heartshadow build is super unique and still slaps hard. Makes sense to me why the hunter build won this day and I can't wait to see what other peeps have cooked up.

[@Epicninfa96]

I use Facet of Dominance for this build. Arc grenade will handle overloads, Transcendent grenade will weaken. This can allow you to dip into Expanding Abyss with Nova Bomb, or to swap out bleak watcher for Helion when unstops aren’t present. It’s free real estate

[@Kaevannan]

I will say that Spirit of Inmost Light with Spirit of Cyrtarachne is quite strong. I'm glad the hunter won. The warlock build's fairly generic and has been all over the place since week 1 of the final shape. The hunter build managed to make HEARTSHADOW super effective and successfully stacked a bunch of different buffs and abilities to both tank (all the DR) and misdirect enemies (Threaded Specter and Invisibility), which helps the team, too. The warlock build was fairly strong, and the lockdown is always nice, but the hunter's out of the box thinking was awesome to see.

[@animeanimal2222]

I ran this warlock build with Agers and Adhortative. Works wonders

[@Dble0solja]

This right here is the answer. Terrible weapon choices in the video. Ager's and Zaouli's could work but outbreak was a bad call

The fact Bungie had to come out and say Titans are underpowered and underperforming is insane considering the other classes. Even the promises of diamond lance and consecration breaking stasis crystals wasn't delivered due to bugs.

[@thatonepenguinperson618]

They really buried Titans in the dirt. The problem is that if they buff them again, they could very well just nerf them even harder in the future. In my opinion, the only way Titans won't get nerfed more is if they move away from the "just melee" play style. If they were oriented around more support like banner of war, they'd have an actual class identify that could be built upon.

[@FaizanMalik-kd8lk]

Reason commemoration is the heavy is due to its origin trait that gives you ability energy for hitting targets.

The only thing killing the warlock build is double primary. Use deliverance (feels amazing now) or riptide with chill clip and then nullify as your pulse or you can run graviton, collective obligation, red death, bxr, basically any pulse that isn't a 540 and you're good. I was running anarchy just because I wanted DOT damage but dragons breath will also be fine. I just am terrible at accidentally running into my rocket when I use it.

No need for handcannon to stunt overloads, you have stasis turrets on demand + prisma nade. Better use desorienting grenade launcher for wyverns ;-) You can't instant stunt overloads with artefact mod, but you can do it with intrinsic exotic like thunderlord or monarch. In this case, you can run them with kinetic tremor blast furnance for barrier. Also, on prismatic, especially for hard content like GM's, in my opinion, you should ALWAYS run FACET OF SOLITUDE fragment: landing precision hits will SEVER the target with the result of doing 40% LESS DAMAGE TO YOU!

[@zferolie]

Huh i have that hunter class item roll, and never considered that sort of dr stacking build and using heartshadow... im have to try it out for sure now. But yeah both builds cook and compete well, i wouldnt have been abke to choose. I myself for the first build use no time for an extra buddy and to does some solid damage... though maybe not as much as outbreak can do when amped up.

[@EnduringAmmo]

Couple of things you should know for the getaway warlock build to make it much better. First, Facet of Hope doesn't work. Well...to be more accurate it doesn't work if the first buff you acquire is "amplified." That makes it difficult to get much use out of with this build. If you activate devour and then get amplified, it will work. The benefit is also barely noticeable. At tier 7 recov it decreases the cool down by about 5 seconds. It's like a worse version of Eye of Another World. You're getting your rift energy back so quickly thanks mostly to Counter Energy. If you don't want to deal with buff juggling to make a single fragment work for 5 second quicker cooldown, consider replacing it with something like Facet of Solitude. Solitude would pair really well with Outbreak and drastically increase survivability. (Dominance is an option too for the weaken debuff while you are transcendent.) quick edit for the sake of clarity: I said it decreases cooldown by 5 seconds, but that is only if you activate devour once and let it dissipate. The benefit is greater if you manage to keep devour up. Sorry for not being clearer about that. Second, in my testing Facet of Ruin is very inconsistent. The range of shatter and ignition is admittedly hard to test, but I tested my shatter damage several times in a row, and the damage was only amplified once. I can't figure out the conditions to consistently get that fragment to do what it says. Waiting 30 seconds for an internal cooldown didn't seem to work. Whether or not it was the first shatter didn't seem to matter. I tested with the fragment, and without it. Most of the time; no difference. I recommend replacing it with Facet of Courage. Facet of Courage is much more consistent (in that it works exactly as advertised) and increases the damage of the Arc Buddy by about 10% if the thing the Arc Buddy Targets is slowed by the Stasis Turret. (pretty sure it also increases the damage of the super) It says a lot about how good the getaway artist build is considering that two of the fragments in this build are currently kinda garbage.
