(Narrator): not best GL. Not shown here cause I am big dumb vs Ir Yut (cooks her) vs Crota (not good due to less damage w/ explosives/weapons that aren't swords) Every other boss just didn't work for surrounded or wasn't worth showing.
I'm sure as hell not doing Trials and Surrounded is an unreliable perk on anything but Swords. If a Frenzy Koraxis is the best Strand Surge I got, then it's the best I got. I'ma still probably just use Edge Transit.
If I am running strand with surges, I have my Karaksis with Envious, and Surrounded on. Have had this roll since the first week of RON and it does work!
I'd imagine you'll still be fine if you're surrounded by trash mobs liked red bars. Plus who knows, there could be some silly damage resist stuff coming in final shape.
In my Opinion , the new support gun or warlock helmet exotic ( healing turret) could help mitigate the nerf. Another good option could be Renewal grasps duskfield grenade on hunter within the well , frost Armor damage resist can help good
Explosive is a niche perk. Very viable if you're doing some sort of strat that just poops out orbs. Such as goldie chaining (ripped in tfs) or just have lots of Goldies. but outside of niche team reliant setups, it just falls off. Even if you are assuming a 9 el shot (6+3 from well or whatever) that's still vastly inferior to bait over the course of a reserve and even more inferior to the niche scenarios where surrounded is procced.
Blast Radius directly nerfs the impact damage (biggest number of damage on an explosive weapon), and Explosive Light raises that to 100 on orb pickup. Rockets get a 25% buff to direct impact damage on Explosive Light to offset this problem a bit, but GLs only get an additional 60% to the small number (explosive damage) and no buff to impact damage. So no, there is no situation for a GL where Explosive Light is good currently. That is a Rocket exclusive benefit to EL and therefore, directly lowers overall damage on GLs.
In an alternative universe, Sony fired the dev team and higher ups at Bungie and replaced them with an in house studio. Koraxis Distress now rolls with Envious Assassin and Bait and Switch and is the go to GL for PvE and Cataphract GL3 has unique PvP focused perks exclusive to trials weapons.
Is anybody else dying using a grenade launcher? Almost every time I’m blowing my load with a grenade launcher I just die for no reason. I’m not hitting anything and people are not walking in front of me. Wtf.

koraxis's still cooks against nezzy bc of its intrinsic which is pretty cool. Other than that ive been using frenzy for funsies. Pretty good
koraxis
It’s crazy how I just got this grenade launcher but I haven’t seen any videos on it til today when I got it 😂😂😂
Is well nerf gonna allow for people to do boss damage with ads running around nearby?
Adds yes the well nerf is going to be more of can't shove it on a bosses dick

explosive light is higher than surrounded (with a high enough blast radius) you just cant have enough orbs on hand usually
#1 reason why I don't like it. wildly inconsistent needing an endless supply of orbs.

@@ZooMzyZuthe explosive damage is the bigger number though. EL is 60% increase to explosive damage and is still about a 50% increase to overall.
@@snadthe4671 It is not the bigger number, you have them flipped.
Does it get the tormentor boost on Nez? Or does he count as a tormentor?
He does count. But, it’s only an ~8 -ish% buff so it’s not like it’s a deal breaker
Green gun
i thought surrounded was 47% when enhanced right?
+47% to impact dmg and +41.75% to explosive dmg
How do you overflow your GL mage to +20 shots
Lots of kills and backup mag to increase overflow, then switch to boss or taken spec for damage

You might be shooting the well
@@CheeseeriA I have done that before. It happens when there is no well and no teammates running in front of me.
@@223ndog well idk
@@CheeseeriA I just wondered if anybody else was experiencing this but I guess not.
Gls and rockets can also explode on any debris or rubble (like the broken off hood of a brig or even a stray limb of a ad) that gets in your way.
