I quite like this whole video making thing, might do more of it.
I am disappointed with your Cerberus +1 ranking. I have kept up a 1.5 kd w/ it and got 10 flawlesses with it. I can out duel SMGs and Sidearms with it while aiming at the head. Cerberus +1 deserves better...
Btw this is in 2 seasons
Solid content as always but the only thing I'll say is Bad Juju is a lightweight frame not rapid fire. Honestly a slight zoom buff and switching it to a rapid fire you might see the thing alot more in pvp. Also I'm still mad when they did the full auto toggle and gave all the other exotics that had full auto baked in new perks Bad Juju got NOTHING. This is one of the OG exotics and it's built to be a workhorse but people simply don't remember it exists because most people don't care for the optimal ttk of lightweights and every other lightweight has someone over Bad Juju. I don't even know what they'd have to give it to bring it up perk wise.
I use Eriana's like a gundam
@@Cerberus1141 someone can have a 2+ KD with Queens breaker but it's still ass

You forgot the biggest reason to use 4th horseman.
When you kill someone with 4th horseman, their's a 90% chance that they'll go, "WHO USES FOURTH HORSEMAN (Checks your guardian)...WHY DO YOU HAVE 5 THOUSAND PVP KILLS WITH 4TH HORSEMAN WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!??"
The answer is yes I did use the wrong there's earlier and you're still mad about it.
Use 4th horseman more
You memey bastard I love it
everytime i see a bubble im tempted to buy it..
Full auto shotgun goes brrrr
Funny shotgun
i did it on "TimelyCupOfTea
Just to let you know Nomad, that headshot damage number for Wish-Ender was incorrect. It does 160 damage. It’s 129 damage for the entrance and 31 damage for the exit to total 160.
Ah thanks, will make sure it's correct moving forward 👍
I was gonna comment just that
Does that mean it one taps with a damage boost?
@@nathantwine3873 Only with Weapons of Light from a Bubble. Radiant and High Energy Fire aren’t enough.
@@Deprece in that case I'll just use monarch
For the 3 of you who play Gambit, Vigilance Wing is absolutely incredible there. It melts invaders, and does really good DPS on the boss as well
Cap u guys should use rat king

So glad someone noticed how good cryosthesia 77k is now. Not just in PVP but PvE too. It got buffs to cause the stasis shot can be held indefinitely, the stasis shot now hits in a large bubble, slowing guardians if in the bubble or straight freezing on direct hit. This gives it utility to use it on groups as you can freeze the one guy and give big slowdown to everyone around him also. Paired up with duskfield and you just froze an entire group in seconds. Also you don't lose your entire magazine after shooting your stasis shot, so you can still shoot them with the sidearm even after being frozen. You can pair this with the stasis fragment that increases damage on frozen targets and now you shred them too.
It's so much better after it got buffed. I used it nonstop the season it came out in my stasis build. It can freeze immune targets in pve too, like the praetorians in vault of glass. Incredibly fun gun and I'm glad people are coming around on it
Absolutely agree. I've been maining it for awhile now and it hasn't gotten old. Works well in most game types. Love it
It's amazing how powerful the Traveler's chosen is, considering it looks like a dinky pocket pistol
Short Barrel Desert Eagle say what
overwatch mercy's glock
As a TDT viewer. I noticed Logistics Officer's clips as soon as I saw the crystals. Nice pull. That man is insane.
I really appreciate your video. It can be difficult to imagine how weapons work before actually getting them yourself, and seeing them being used before choosing one to invest in is great. Thank you for putting this together!
also i love my graviton lance and no one will ever take that from me, even if it sucks in pvp :)
I freaking love these videos you make. The editing is amazing, and you make the weapons look so easy to use. Of which makes me want to use every weapon on here lol. As once a mediocre player in PvP, your videos has helped me become a decently average player that has helped me be at least **comfortable** in PvP (even with all the anoying things that are in PvP). Thank you for you work in these videos. They're amazing.
A note on trinity ghoul: It can activate cascade point with a single arrow, so a cascade point lodbrok or cold front pairs very well with it.
Whats cascade point?
@@L10N. Getting a kill or getting multiple precision hits with a different weapon substantially boosts fire rate.
@@L10N.say you’re using a 360 rpm auto rifle, if you proc cascade point it’ll go to a 450 rpm
@@gengarclefairy3475 its faster than a 450, thats the fun part
No way say sike! I have to try that I have an army of lodbrocks whit all kind of perks for this reason hahah (target lock is still my favorite tho)
This is definitely the tier list of all time
Bit of a correction on wavesplitter, you don’t have to pick up an orb, then reload for the perk. Picking up an orb activates the perk and automatically reloads it
this video was so helpful, thank you so much for making this. It was so much fun to watch and so easy to understand.
Very entertaining and informative video! I'm not even much of a crucible player, but your presentation and editing kept me interested through the whole list. I have some new things to try next time I jump into sixes or IB. Cheers!
And we're back at the end of another year.
Definitely should have explained the perks on Crimson. The health restore and COMPLETE mag refill on precision final blows are absouloutely lethal and completely clutch if you're having to go in 1v2 or 1v3
I NEVER leave the tower without it.
100% agree with Cryothesia. I pulled it out of my vault some towards the end of the Season with my Shadebinder and it felt downright unfair with that kit with the amount of freezes and overall lethality. It surprised the heck out of me in a very good way and I plan to use it a lot more in Lightfall.
Need ideas? I'm your guy. Best exotic in the game
I’ve been a huge Sturm and drang with tricksleeves lover for a long time the most underrated combo in the game.
Hello Ascendant Nomad, chronic Ostio Striga Crucible enjoyer here. Something else to note about the gun: Necrotic Grips is transformative for the weapon, it does a number of things that make it a menace that's only going to be more menacing with Strand in Lightfall. It bumps up the AE by thirty just for slapping the gloves on which means that even if you shoot at the general direction body from the air often you'll find the shots tracking to the head and getting a precision kill. It makes it so the poison explosions chain together off one another which can be extremely useful for dealing with bunched enemies and wells, and it also combos with Toxic Overload so that if someone dies from said chained poison explosions or the poison from your melee, it will overfill your magazine to around fifty rounds of ammunition which makes it absolutely monsterous in the next firefight you engage in.
Something that might be worth trying out if you haven't already.
Fantastic video with a lovely balance of information and comedic commentary. Ive watched this several times the past couple weeks since UA-cam recommended this to me. I've been using Sturm and Drang recently and I can see the potential. Glad to see that I'm not crazy and the numbers back it up. I've had it paired up with Lucky Pants for some bonus damage when going for the overcharge shot. It can put in some work. But if im ever not being successful then i can always back up with Ace or Crimson.
10:58
Picking up the orb automatically reloads the weapon. If you have ammo it automatically gets put into the magazine.
oh yeah wave splitter got somehow got a straight indirect buff in lightfall, armor mod 4.0 increased the amount of orbs generating in pvp now so I think wavesplitter should be bumped from okay to good.
Small correction on Symmetry: Revolution 3-taps at x2 and 2-taps at x7. x2 is I think 68 per direct hit. x3 is 103 per direct hit. Might be mistaken on the exact damage, but it definitely 3-taps on x2 and 2-taps on x7, and the beauty of it is that you don't have to use the win condition immediately.
I know it doesn't 1-tap with x20 (which you need the catalyst to reach; x15 is the default cap) by itself, but I wonder if you can damage buff it to 1-tap with radiant or empowering rift or do you need something like well/bubble.
Its been a really long time since i used the gun but i thought it 2 tapped at 6 revolution but i might be thinking with buffs
@@nitro5202 Depends on the resilience. I forget the resil threshold for 6x to 2-tap, but 7x will 2-tap all resils unless they have overshield or a regen source like healing rift or restoration.
Dude is a damn neuron psychics scientist 😰
Even if it could 1 tap at x20 with radiant, i dont think its the most worth it (prob fun tho)
it’s the best gun for killing invaders in gambit for sure
Very nice, quite impressive Mr. Nomad. Now let's see the exotic armor ranking
Let’s see Paul Allen’s exotic ranking
Had this in my watch later for weeks, glad I finally watched it. Really concise info but I wish it was updated to cover post Lightfall stuff! Thank you!
I really enjoyed Astral in this video. I kinda pop onto their socials on occasion to see what kinda crazy stuff the Glaive Skunk™ can pull off, and I'm glad to learn from this video that, as a bow enjoyer, Ticcu's is almost worth giving a try. :D
It's the best bow out there. Don't believe that tier list, its homing arrows and the explosions will clean the battlefield in a few seconds
Excellent video. Just wanted to add something to what you said about malfeasance though. Malfeasance has the highest base AE in the game at 63, which makes it feel super good in air, even if the frame and perk aren't the best.
Whisper would like to disagree
skyburners definitely has some words for you both
I love Le Monarque because the draw is so snappy, it just clicks into place and feels so... intuitive to use.
Also it was 3rd exotic and my first weapon that I got to 1000 kills, so I have a soft spot for the thing.
Very thankful!! Going to apply what I've learned here. So many of my early grabs with catalyst complete are now much better than I had thought... Appreciate it!
Nomad, did you use sunshot with the catalyst? Cause it boosts the range and stability quite substantially to be on par with most top legendary 140s.
I'm sure he did but tbh it doesn't feel anywhere near as sticky as the top 140 HCs
@@Daytimeprophet3 yeah it only has 60 aim assist at base, but I only mentioned it cause he mentioned poor overall base stats in the video, when it's really only the aim assist that is lacking imo.
@@evanotto7078 that's the trade off
I did, it still felt pretty bad to me. But just cause I found it to be one way doesn't mean that you should stop using it if you enjoy it.
@AscendantNomad imma use it for solar 3.0 on titan since the fragments got a buff. I need to figure out what's the best exotic to pair tho. Imma use anteaus first
Those video series are the best. Can't imagine the work to make those videos, but this are by far the most efficient weapons review out there.
GG AN
You were certainly correct about the Fightion Lion fans to be going crazy. Been my favourite since I first picked it up. Learning how to bank shots and time the explosion was a great learning curve.
Fighting lion is one of the most fun and rewarding guns once you learn how to use it so I agree with you
It's fun imo but still absolute garbage. Literally just feels like I'm trolling my team by using it. Slow reload & 1 round that doesn't insta even with a point blank headshot is pretty lame. Very small blast radius too.
@Zeibentaul you can reload it while the grenade is still flying out if you know how to manual reload at the right time. It's use in support/switch shotting is the true strength.
Something I feel is worth mentioning in regards to Sweet Business: It's fully spun-up optimal TTK is 0.66s, but it's least-optimal TTK (bodyshot only) is 0.8s.
It's disturbingly fast considering the only requirement is a little extra brrt and a thoroughly-surprised target.
Hey Nomad? This video whips, the fact that the music gets more intense and rock and roll-y as the teir list climbs makes it very fun, and the clips are great too. Excellent Job
OOOOOOOH CRYO ON TOP MY BABYYYYY Highly recommend running stasis Hunter with this so you can shatterdive immediately after freezing, making anyone want to throw their controller out the window
I’ll have you know that Sweet Business + Actium actually DID help me go flawless
It’s got a very high potential. The skill floor is just high because its demanded play style is drastically different than most weapons in D2.
He's in Hunter 90% of the clips up to sweet, (came to the comments to mention the 'same' (no flawless though))
the skill floors pretty low actually, it's mostly about whether your opponents react to it correctly
@@Breakingthebane Which, in my experience, most people don't. They just sorta... Run into it. Which confuses me. Whenever I hear it, I make sure to get distance and aim where I hear it with my Vig Wing.
Sweet business is hilariously cracked.
Range is near maxed out, no flinch.
Actium for titans no Brainer.
For warlock I use chromatic fire
For hunters I use knucklehead radar.
I only have 1000 kills in pvp with mine but this one would have more if it would of tracked kills from d2 launch.
Sweet business is Sweet.
@@Breakingthebane i think they meant skill ceiling
A lot of UA-camr have done the same video but yours is better, more detailed, serious and fun even if it last 40min I like it, worth a subscribe
Another video for all exotic armor would be cool
Always love when these come out, can't wait for more from you!
Has there been enough of a change for you to think about doing another Weapon Archetype review? I loved the original and would love to hear your opinions on the new sandbox and how it has changed since the original!
Man is on a roll with the content lately. You love to see it
Love this tier list. It makes a ton of sense compared to all the others. Not only can you digest it easier the explanations make perfect sense. Bravo!!!!
I’m away for work, but your video was extremely exciting for me. I love it. I can’t wait to try some of those exotics that I had put down because didn’t give them a good, try plus I didn’t really understand how they work. Thanks to you this video, I have a greater understanding now. Thank you so much. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽.
Surprised to see Eriana's so low, I used to run a Lucky Pants hot swapping build with like a Dire Promise or some other kinetic. It was pretty fun but wouldn't have held up in higher end content, and this might have been over two years ago so no idea how it would hold up now.
Feels very good having your favorite gun on top of the list… Cryosthesia is an absolutely hilarious gun once you get used to it, it opens so many possibilities
It's amazing. It's even more amazing that people think it sucks and feels bad, so when the noobs can't use it, it's not going to be nerfed lmao
Nomad, that ramp up to the Elite band gave me goosebumps. Safe to say, this is much, much better than ANY Apple product promotions, ever. Well done and best of luck!
Genuinely one of the funniest but fantastically in-depth videos I’ve seen so far in the destiny community, thank you for the wonderful content
Thanks for all the work on this video. Good info and entertaining, easy to watch the whole thing.
Yessss…. This is the content I need to get me through the server downtime until launch. Thank you, Dubai Destiny-Jedi!!!
Huckleberry also got a buff last season with rampage spec now being built into the perk. It's so underrated.
It does? I would have half expect it not to, since it still has old school rampage.
@@Welverin Old school Rampage?
@@brawler5760 It was nerfed way back when, it used to give a bigger damage bonus. Same thing happened with swashbuckler and Monte Carlo (i.e. Markov Chain).
Thank you for putting Cryo in there.. Putting in the work for that weapon in the crucible made me fall in love and just wanna get better. PVE or PVP I love that gun.
Thank you 🙏 for all the work you put in to this .. Great watch !!!!
I would like to say that Trinity Ghoul can activate Cascade Point when landing 2/3 of the arrows. Which is really really good
Makes me glad I grabbed one of those Cold Fronts with Cascade Point... Tarrabah at home.
@@ShaoShaoMienshao Cold Front Cascade is nice, but being able to proc Cascade on Lodbrok is nuts
Shhhh!
As a Symmetry enjoyer, its placement is spot on. Oh and yes, it *IS* the sexiest weapon on this list, hands down.
Still feel Bungie needs to remove the auto-fire capability and give it much more range and a little more damage in return.
I swear he got the damage wrong though. It 2 taps in the projectile mode at 7 stacks
@@matthewbridgewater9235 yeah
As i was enjoying the video i subbed, keep it coming guardian!🎉
So glad you respect the power of travelers and cryothesia they are monsters in the hands of a main or master combo players, great video :]
34 + 39 = 74?
“This is big brain time.”
Is it bad I still snicker at each of those Cloudstike clips?
thank you for this video, it helped me alot to understand weapons and why i kept getting 1 tapped in gambit xD
I watched the entire video to say thank you for all the info and hard work put into this. Well done.
There's so much potential for someone to do a pve version of this considering it's way more popular
I came from another stream and realized i just watched ur two newest video yesterday, im not. Pvp guy but i loke to learn at least a bit for when i have too and your content has helped. Thx
Picked up cryosthesia recently before i saw this video and so glad that my thoughts on it were validated.
Cerberus +1 better be in the Elite tier...
Our boy has suffered enough at the hands of content creators
If forerunner isn’t S….
22:19 Ascendant plays with Logistics officer? The "watch this snipe" Cloudstrike legend
@AscendantNomad i just came back to D2 after a year/2, im curious if you have a video with the hunters build seen in some the clips? great vid glad i found you
Divinity being elite is the most based take ive heard in a long time.
It was in the most recent iron banner I started using cryo for the first time since the season it was released, and I single handily had one of my best gaming sessions I’ve ever had. Got several 20/30 kill games and even 2 40+ kill games, hell I even got a we ran out of medals.( was using it with a Diamond lance, one eyed mask stasis build, I felt unstoppable)
great video, the editing has really come a long way.
Great video. I saw a few guns I might swap out my Ace for. Maybe. Nah, probably not. I love that thing.
There is one reason to use Eriana's Vow: if you love Lucky Pants on Solar Hunter. Lucky Pants' buff to a readied Kinetic or element-matched-to-subclass hand cannon's AE and accuracy is great, but it goes away if you switch weapons. If you use Eriana's Vow on Solar, it also counts with Lucky Pants, so you can actually run double hand cannon. Eriana's Vow will ready very fast and be a beefy shot to cleanup someone low or eliminate an even slightly damaged enemy. And the buff sticks around when you switch back and forth between your Kinetic hand cannon and EV. It will eventually go away and you'll be "Out of Luck" for 10 seconds, but still. Actually not bad for sixes.
4:02 the lord of wolves has a reference to the soon to be shown or announced the 3rd darkness subclass that’s red. It’s the same symbol of the subclass on the gun.
I quite like your videos nomad. Keep up the great work!
Been waiting too long for this! Love it 🤩
you can throw a gunpowder gamble around a corner and use the ticuu's tracking shot for meme kills
i watched this Video before lightfall... and i must say u got me motivated to play pvp again! I hope the meta gets a lil bit shifted! but I will play pvp more now :D
issa good day when nomad uploads. glad to see you thrivin, man :)
Now to spend time searching for “how to get” videos lol
Thanks for making this! I knew I was on to something with No Time To Explain!
great video, I've got my eyes on some new exotics to get (tarabarah has been on my list to get but so many spoils DX)
Those shots with Cloudstrike were pure evil.
You talk of Ace being like coming home - I feel that way about Vigi-wing. I keep forgetting I have it, then wonder why I ever stopped using it when I do get it out.
Will need to have a good long go with each of the elite weapons in the coming season.
Note for malfeasance, it is really funny for super denial and I wish you mentioned it has a 20 round mag and procs based on proximity. For instance I’ve had the effect proc on 3 shots when reasonably close to enemies while it’s five when farther. I think it’s based more on damage for proccing than just shots, as with damage falloff triggering it’s five shots but pre damage falloff it’s 3. This is a really weird gun if you couldn’t tell but my personal favorite.
If you're getting 3 shots to set it off, someone else may be running with it. Malf's exotic trait works with ANY slugs from the gun, doesn't have to be yours.
Great video THANK YOU 👍🏻
what song do you use for the intro to the elite category i love that beat and i have to re watch this video jus to hear it :( great vid tho
With ticuus, I've found you get a quicker ttk if you tap the trigger on the hipfire shot, and only do a full draw when ads-ing
I love these, they’re so good!
Thank you for your hard work!
Thx 4 these amazing Video!!!
The electric slide warlock build + dead messenger is pretty good. While its damage isn't super op, getting a hit with an aoe can sometimes line you up for a bunch of aoe kill or give you an advantage before ending a gunfight.
Wow this video went huge. Well done Nomad.
Didn't expect to have any of the best ones but I was surprised when you said Vigilance Wing~ ☺
My kind of newbie ass saw the only exotic that I love using with my solar hunter build (Skyburners Oath) in the bad. Made me start using my calus minitool instead with incandescent. Thank you very much hahaha.
Somehow I happened to miss all of the 4 exotics I have (probably because I was laughing so hard at the commentary :). Is there a written version of this list I can find somewhere?
Also, I immediately subscribed because it was just so much fun to watch (even if as a brand new Destiny player a lot of the jargon was way over my head).
As a Polaris Lance main, I am very happy to see it's in the Great category!
8:48 I remember my really old free to play titan guardian, I had the riskrunner with its catalyst and the peacekeeper legs it was fun, I didn’t delete the character but rather I renewed everything and the reset was annoying but I got over it now I just need to reach the power cap again. 1810, currently at 1766.
Beautiful timing
how do you all get Polaris Lance running in PVP with the low handling? im trying to play it more aggressively.
For anyone curious, Grav Lance got a major buff recently. Also, I think the proccing was bugged beforehand?
lol very entertaining to watch, thanks for the vid
Got some fun lil' armor recommendations:
1, Peacekeepers leg armor for the huckleberry for even less of a need to reload, plus the instant draw speed and ADS, not to mention the movement buff while wielding SMGs, as well as the airborne effectiveness buff.
2, Actium war rig with the sweet business for the ability to fire it for two minutes straight. great fun for cosplaying as an anti-aircraft turret.
great video! wonder where conditional finality would end up...
One of the largest pvp player bases was when eyasluna and longbow dropped but were rare. IMO the destiny community has always been materially motivated and one of the larger issues with PvP is that there is no chase outside of trials
Another Nomad banger, love to see it!
I have to say, the music at the beginning and end of elite category is absolutely banging
Ayy more Cryothesia love. Been maining it for ages now, incredibly slept on.
