It's strange because usually Bungie is amazing at making everything feels so flashy, snappy and responsive, there's a lot of feedback going on with all the stuff you use, but with Severance it looks like they got pushed away by a gust of wind while you weren't looking.

@frankeljoseph5182 Ай бұрын

Nahhh with severance enclosure strand is 100% the way to go! there's a fragment that spawns threadlings on finishers and the more difficult the enemy that's finished the more threadlings spawn plus you get a severing burst on explosions. with the melee regen on strand plus banner of war buffing damage and having woven mail you can constantly loop finishers and explosions and also have grapple grenade melee explosions it's really fun and destructive!

@jonlucich2854 Ай бұрын

That Severance Enclosure build is much stronger on Strand Titan. Not sure if you read this, but use Into the Fray with Banner of War Aspects, and use the Fragment that spawns a Threadling when you use a finisher. Use Grapple Grenade, and make sure on your Class item you use the mod for a powerful overshield when using finishers and the one where finishers heal you. Use it with Monte Carlo. You won't regret it.

@JeanneDGames Ай бұрын

For that Severance build, not running Proximity Ward really damaged its durability in higher-difficulty content. Proximity Ward's overshield in finisher-focused builds cannot be understated, as it gives you a pretty beefy insulation against anything trying to kill you during your finisher animation. I've survived SO much bullshit I had no business surviving in GMs by just snagging a finisher on a random redbar and letting the overshield tank whatever was giving me trouble. I'm talking swarms of cursed thrall, boss attacks aimed directly at me. Anything short of "overwhelming firepower" is survivable if you can get a finisher while you have Proximity Ward equipped.

@VGBrothers Ай бұрын

I just began to experiment with Aeons on a Void Bubble Titan for fun, and yeah, the finisher overshield is a must on anything higher than Legend. I do want to eventually give Severance a go when I can get a good roll on it.

Any Repulsor Brace weapon on any Subclass gives you free Void Overshield too

@ttvunashamedalchemist7002 Ай бұрын

I’ve had severance in a void build for ages. Pair it with devour, invis, and volatile, specifically the fragment that spreads vol to nearby ads when finishing. You weaken a couple targets, push in and get a finish off, and the splash dmg gets everyone else weak, and you just go on a finisher spree. Pair it with the void glaive from a few seasons back, and bastion for constant ovs, and you’re unkillable. I’ve ran it in GMs before and it just was an ad clear machine

On the titan build if you use roaring flames and have it up your base melee scorches and counts as a power melee. Just pointing it out for people who want to run the shoulder charge. You can keep up with RF with normal melee and this counts to anything listed as power melee on mods. Like heavy handed and impact induction. Severance and heart of inmost light benefits from this. Knockout, RF, offensive bulwark with overshield all count as power melee

PSA about the fire sprite and it's usage. It's a very useful restoration tool IF you can time the pick up plus the killing of ads. You need to pick up the fire sprite right before killing a group of ads, and you are guaranteed 15 sec of restoration and adds 2 seconds every time you kill an enemy, or pick up a fire sprite. It's very tricky, but you become a god if you can time it just right

That Titan screwed it up cross is exactly right you want roaring flames with severance because then on top of the solar damage bonus when you’re in between charging your melee or if you just going around punching ads you will proc the severance explosion as long as you have roaring flames.

Starfire build would be improved with Heat Rises and swapping Healing Rift -> Phoenix Dive, Eruption -> Empyrean and Mercy -> Singeing. Yea it's a grenade build but Heat Rises is the most OP part of Solar Lock's kit providing infinitely refreshable Restoration x2. We don't need to care about Rift's at all even though Rift is mentioned in the exotic, but since you aren't running empowering rift anyway Phoenix Dive is just straight up better than Healing Rift (because of Resto x2) and it also grants Cure to allies for Benevolence. Gameplay and the amount of grenades you can throw is essentially the same as Sunbracers just without the inconsistency of the requirement of getting a melee kill in group play.

Sunbracers is goated for area control and mid-low tier add clear, whereas Starfire's double exploding fusion nades are nasty against chunking down and killing the tankier targets like ultras/mini-bosses during later waves. Both fantastic, but Starfire just hits harder and is a bit safer/easier to proc, especially in later waves, where you might not always get your sunbracer's snap final blow off, or one of your teammates kills the add you're going for before you do. Each option requires some setup to get going, but Starfire has def become more viable since its nerf, now that there are more and more weapons added to the sandbox rolling with Heal Clip, to synergize with Benevolence. You're no longer having to chase teammates down to solely rely on using your class ability next to them, or dropping a rift and asking them to dip in and out of it, just to keep proc'ing benevolence lol.

The problem I have with Starfire right now, is that the way it's used (Ember of Benevolence with Heal Clip and/or Incandescent weapons), Verity's Brow just does its job better. Since you're relying on Benevolence to get the grenade to charge faster in lieu of the Empowering Rift, you just get more grenade charge with Verity's double dipping AND boosting the power of your grenades. Just about everything Starfire does, Verity's does better.

The Severance is much better on Void. You can make everything volatile around you causing mire explosions as well as procing devour and invis.

You should be using severance enclosure on strand titan. Not solar. Significantly improves it and the aspect that lets you hurl the 3 melees with unraveling means the unravel kills prock severance. One 2 punch shotty with grapple.

I don’t think people really realize this, but if you consume your shackle grenade for weavers trance, any kill that the suspending burst gets will proc ashes to assets

For the Wish-Keeper build, another thing you weren't doing Cross, was getting the tankier enemies low with your other weapons and swaping to Wish-Keeper again to get the kill for more threadlings. Every kill not on a Wish-Keeper reduces the overall effectiveness of the build. It was also a waste of ammo to use a GL shot on an enemy that would die in less than half a GL's worth of damage.

I play a strand hunter in onslaught and basically all pve content Only down side is that it uses a lot of tangles and thread of rebirth alongside final warning, kills easy orbs eh not so much, i wish tangle beyblades took on the properties of what created it. At least then, tangle kills could spawn orbs for more synergies.

Would boots of the assembler be better? Like if you could keep benevolence up more by granting them healing from a distance then it would be better. The build in this video Starfire Protocol isn’t providing any ability regen until you are in your well of radiance.

Wish keeper / Swarmers build… use indebted kindness with those consumed grenades more. It should almost be your main weapon… using the bow as more of a utility/crowd control aspect of the build. Run special ammo and Ark holster mods to help with the ammo economy, eat every grenade you can and just slap everything with strand infused mini rockets. The bow is great once you get that strand flowing all over the place, indebted kindness with the grenades to get you there

Severence with Facet of Defiance will go crazy for stasis titan super on prismatic

@ that dude in chat saying Starfire has been this good since the nerf: you're not wrong... the base exotic is in the same state. But Starfire is actually better now we have Heal Clip in its buffed state to proc Benevolence constantly.
