This video reminded me to try out Phoenix Protocol, since I've grown really fond of running heal/support builds in GMs and Master Dungeons lately. Shout out to Cenotaph Mask+Any Trace Rifle and my current favorite, Lumina + Boots of the Assembler.

For the warlock solar build, i do feel going for strength rather than discipline makes the build more fluid There are times where you can mess up the cycle, so more strength does two things: - You'll get your melee back faster to try getting into the cycle again - Airborne kills recharges your melee even faster

@dodgers0n842 Ай бұрын

@extectic 3 ай бұрын

Other good builds; Strand, Karnstein, Vexcalibur. With the right setup you have void overshield, woven mail, every melee kill incl glaive is cure 3x and resto 1x - and if you finisher you get 2x resto, that you can keep going with melee kills... literal tank with all the benefits of Strand. Also, for void, the granddaddy of builds - Contraverse. Basically chain gigantic weakening vortex nades with devour healing you 100% on every kill. Even easier than (the outstanding) Briarbinds. Starfire Protocol is still a strong GM build, despite the nerf. Dawn Chorus and the right incandescent guns and the 300% scorch damage burns everything especially in hard content. There's a bunch of very strong builds that arguably challenge these seven.

@luckymec 3 ай бұрын

Sure, there are other builds out there that are strong. These are my personal favorite, if you have other ones you like better then no one is stopping you from using them 👍

@Argyle117 3 ай бұрын

@extectic 3 ай бұрын

Arc build: The Stag is the superior arc exotic for Warlocks and I will die on this hill. Arc lacks healing and survivability, right until you stand in your -25-35% damage reducing healing rift. Damage you take refills your class ability, so you can live in that rift. It's otherwise identical to the arc trace focused builds, with massive ability regen anyway from endless arc traces. It's just tanky as all hell and requires absolutely no proccing or prepping or anything. Sure, there are exotics that can increase your regen rate from high to ludicrous... but that's really not nearly as important as always having a massively damage reducing rift.

@luckymec 3 ай бұрын

@yadeel8281 3 ай бұрын

In my experience, building into ionic traces with fallen sun star will get your rift back super quickly, making it a good source of survivability. I also play very mobile on arc making enemies harder to hit me

Sun Carlo build. Monte Carlo with Sunbracers. Constant melee with constant solar grenades.

@oedhelsetren 26 күн бұрын

I'm a bit of a newb, but I also feel Monte Carlo is under utilized in a lot of builds. It's very easy to stack armor mods that produce grenade energy from melee or orbs caused by melee. If you're not stuck to a single subclass, Monte Carlo and Claws of Ahamkara create a good volley of melee attacks. If used properly, you can really charge up your abilities in pve. Having a second melee charge is good in pvp, as well.

Fallen sunstar is always better than crown of tempest. Its significantly better at generating ability energy and because there's more abilities to throw out, you generate more super energy via damage output, so it makes up the difference and then some.

Osmiomancy is literally an exotic that boosts iceflare bolts. Ergo, the way to use the Osmiomancy is to focus on iceflare bolts - not turrets. Throw the grenade so it hits a yellow bar (literally bounces off them) and get it refunded instantly. You're freezing everything in a targeted fashion instead of relying on slow turrets. Sure, you can bring turrets too but you're better off with Glacial Harvest so you can get so so many Stasis shards.

@luckymec 3 ай бұрын

Turrets keep an area locked down, osmio gives you 2 grenades, ergo 2 turrets. Sure you can just throw a grenade instead but you can also set up a turrets that continues to freeze for 20+ seconds instead of just once. Not personally a huge fan of shards for this since it just gives melee energy

@jester6578 3 ай бұрын

@@luckymec The difference is that Osmio refunds grenade energy on grenade hit, turrets don't give energy in the same way. Hitting a group can fully refund the energy and more. Best way I've found to play is to start with a turret, then toss grenades until I'm nearly at 2 charges, toss out another turret, and repeat. It's actually better in GMs than low content. This season, run it with polaris lance, whisper of rending, and the artifact mods - it completely shreds. For low content, Verglas curve outputs a crazy amount of AoE damage as kills from the crystals it creates give you stasis arrows which you can shoot right again right away, if you want to.

@luckymec 3 ай бұрын

@jester6578 that's a fair point, I still think it's very reasonable to say turrets are a big part of the build, which was my main point before

For this set, it was done in Coil which already ramps up from -5 all the way to -20 essentially from hero level to Master level (the only thing harder is GM). I like to show current content so that people can see how it preforms in what is relevant right now.

@chicknwing2742 3 ай бұрын

Been loving Briar Binds this season. I made a build with them that uses the Navigator, Calus Mini Tool, and Quillim's Terminus (the LMG from Kingsfall). This build gives you access to Weaken, Devour, Woven Mail, Unravel, Sever, Radiant, and Freezing (headstone from the LMG). I use the top 2 perks in each of the last 2 columns of the artifact. It's so much fun and makes me feel like im playing 4 subclasses at the same time.

Great video! Just gotta mention that, although buried bloodline is void, its recommended to not use on void since it would make the exotic perk essentially useless since devour is basically always up on warlock regardless of what you're using, like getting orbs/breaches or ability kills. It's great on strand titan though! Faster grenades because of devour = more bonking, and it pairs nicely with banner of war tor a pretty tough titan! I'd recommend running a swordbreaker with demo if you plan on using grapple a lot, or pugilist for the extra melee energy, and obviously 1-2p (swordbreaker specifically because of the cursed thrall trait, makes devour and banner very easy to keep maxed out if you have a lot of ads around)

@luckymec 3 ай бұрын

For sure, it might be more useful on other classes, though it is strong by itself, when you get a grenade kill you proc volatile rounds. Plus it helps set up if you ever run out of ability energy. I haven't tried it too much on other classes yet but I have a feeling it will be even stronger

@extectic 3 ай бұрын

It's extremely easy to use though and you get such long flight range. Literally just a fast double-tap to launch and off you go. Strafe jump, in my opinion, being by far the best option, you get absolutely pin point precision, you can jump around corners, you can literally fly around objects. Literally the only big drawback of Warlock jump is that you can never regain altitude after the initial jump. That does cause deaths if you slip off a ledge, etc.

For anyone looking to bring Briarbinds into onslaught, I gotta say, trying to pick up the soul is genuinely miserable there. There will constantly, and I mean almost every time, be an ADU core or two or three right on top of your soul. This is annoying in the earlier waves but it will outright get you killed towards the end. It got so bad I pulled a different loadout from DIM in the middle of a wave. This is not to say the build is bad, it's just mechanically incompatible with Onslaught specifically.
