The Skull of Dire Ahamkara is probably preferable over Apotheosis Veil or Obsidian Mind for PvP. Everyone focuses on the Skull's extra durability during Nova Bombs, but it also gives you extended Energy Drain duration. You more or less get The Hunger Voidwalker perk for free.
My favourite build is a Sunsinger with Sunbreakers, Gift of the Sun, and Solar Grenades. The utility is exactly the same as this build but I can't help feel it's better. With Radiance you can block off multiple entry ways or cover a whole room in long-lasting solar grenades.
I have to agree it feels like solo grenades would be better for a roll like this especially because he could spam them when you are in radiance and if you are not in radiance you always have at least two Solar grenades. but the downside is you won't have that blink I guess
Epic review as always! And thanks to the whole team for the IB reviews and tips this week I got my friends to think I actually know how to lead a crucible team ;)
Step 1: Use Obsidian Mind. Step 2: Use Bad Juju. Step 3: Nuke the shit out of any titan and hunter that claim to be the master race! #warlockmasterrace
Step 1: Armamentarium Step 2: Super defensive Defender Titan build Step 3: Stand in your bubble and fuck everyone over with grenades while they can't hit you. (optional Saint-14 helm for laughing at every PVE mission in the game)
@4:15"...and as tossing as much Nova Bombs as you can". Then you say "But we are not necessarily going for a ton of kills, we are more going to lock down areas and try to prevent enemies from getting to the control points." with the Obsidian mind. So wouldn't Obsidian mind be a great choice not an "ok" choice? Since "tossing as much Nova bombs as you can" is the main idea of this build? I'm just a little confused about this.. can you elaborate?
Calm LivePono The primary objective with this build is to deny advancement and protect points. Of course kills are the best way to do that, but what we mean is that even if you throw down a Nova Bomb and the Vortex prevents someone coming in to a point, you've helped out. It's still a fine option, mostly up to personal preference.
Calm LivePono Obsidian Mind requires you to get kills with Nova Bomb in order to trigger its effect, and its lower INT stat means even a legendary helm will reliably get your super up faster than Obsidian Mind.
Calm LivePono Wait a second, I think you forgot that Obsidian Mind only gives you that extra super energy, if you get a kill....I don't think that's too good for this build. Tell me if i'm right plz....
CptGameMaster then get nova bombed, and you die. or golden gun shot, with the forth shot killing you. Ive done it many times. Rock, paper, scissors! Thats why i love this game.
Just curious how do you (other UA-cam gamers) record your gameplay?!? I would like to start recording gameplay from my friends and I but not sure where I should begin and what to get
I hated the Voidwalker for along time and then I watched this guy toss what felt like 20 nova bombs in a single match and I had to copy his build. Since then I haven't looked back, well I still love and play my sunsinger, and I'm probably better with ss but the nailing 3 or 4 guys with a nova bomb is soooo satisfying. I never really thought about the vw as a support class but the next time we do control I'll give it a shot (which will be awhile after ib this week).
Lifsteal build could do good too. You run axion bolt for grenade, hve the lance for four super and have lifesteal for your melee, other than hat you ru max agility and battle recovery with an increased grenade and super radius with embrace the void as the last perk, for the weapons, use red death, a high power shotgun (felwinters is good) and you have a heavy of your preference, the whole build is about getting in close and personal and continuously feeding your life with the kills you make, chasing any stragglers with your axion bolt to pick them off, and using super if you get into a pinch, apotheosis veil would be the best bet for you exotic armour piece
I enjoyed the insight to voidwalker in pvp. Not a fan of pvp myself I only play it with friends who go in. Question is though will you be posting a PVE voidwalker build?
But what if you don't have an exotic weapon (yet)? I have a legendary handcannon, i can use that, but i really enjoy using an auto rifle. I previously went for pulse rifles, but now i go for auto rifles. Theres just something about holding down the trigger and watch all the bullets fly out of the mag that's so satisfying to me.
interesting build but you really have to change your mindset and playing style to use this set which means you have to practice for a while. And like you said it really requires communication to really take advantage of with this build is trying to do and I'm not sure without a full team it would really work if you go into the crucible by yourself.
If you use high strength with Voidwalker you will actually recharge you grenades fast; Energy Drain gives you bonus grenade energy combined with soul rip give you bonus super energy, so you could go two ways with it; high strength or high-ish intellect and discipline
I use a build similar to this almost the same perks but i use it to lock myself in with another player. ideally you want to use the last word for fast CQC to mid range kills, an LDR like sniper to defend your position from range, a high blast radius rocket launcher, and the ram to stay alive . this build allows you to easily out play other players blink behind them throw a vortex grenade behind the to keep them from getting away to cover.this build is ideal for clash, rumble or skirmish.
One problem I have with creating specific builds is that people always say to "max out discipline" or "max out intellect". How are you supposed to gain any measure of control over these stats when 80% of the gear we get is a random drop and the other 20% extremely expensive vendor armor that's got random stats anyway? (I say extremely expensive because of the fact that you need a commendation now in addition to a ton of marks. It takes me FOREVER to get enough marks, let alone level the faction.)
I already use this exact build (except I use axion bolt) but I do use it more for fast cooldowns and lots of kills and I use voidfang vestments as my exotic instead, it is really awesome launching massive nova bombs which sometimes kill survivors or the odd player who walks into it
The build is good but you need The Skull of Dire Ahamkara because if you are going to be taking down as much enemies as possible you need to tank damage.
andre mansour But you can't surive a final round headshot from my efrideet! if i land it once in a dozen times. Feels so rewarding on novabombing warlocks and panick super titans.
I use voidwalker more as a person who can do damage in a wide are. Bloom is extremely useful with axion bolt and life steal is also great. Voidfang vestments is also great armor cuase respawning with grenades and three bolts is extremely good
After maxing out all the 6 classes and getting all 3 characters to 32, voidwalker is my favorite sub class. I think im the only one who uses voidwalker over sunsinger for hard raids, lol.
Yeah I think that's byf's zoning built he did a review on that. Focused on blocking off pathways in order not to get flanked and so on. However I prefer my own voidwalker built
I think Warlocks are the masters of shotguns, when you use shotguns with titans it feels a little sludgy (probably because I use warlock for most of destiny but hay its my opinion). Hunters do really well with shot guns but I would go for a Sunsinger over blade dancer just because Sunsingers are more fun :)
Please Note I am NOT looking down on hunters or titans these classes excel in there own unique way. its just that In my personal experience warlocks favor in more aggressive play styles thats ideal for shotgun users...
Ronald Kreidler lol with my defender titan nd armor nd recovery maxed I can get up close to the archeon priest on venus strike nd unleash a whole clip in his face lol nd live nd same with phogotg shotguns with titans is fun but yeah warlocks plus blink and a found verdict is mayhem lol
Ronald Kreidler hunters are better for it as Sunsingers glide is slow as fuck, hunters are probably the best offensive class because of their quick jumps and high agility. Using the ability that allows you to sprint faster and slide further with a shotgun is so good.
I absolutely love how planet destiny apparently doesn't give a shit about PvE and only cares about PvP. there is more to Destiny than just multiplayer.
Im ps4, i have over 100 regular destiny players on my friends list who are nice people to talk to and i found them on the IGN forums on bungie.com. We also do raids, nightfalls etc together. If you want add me my PSN is SinisterShadows9
Your hunter guide was more in-depth and comprehensive. This will just get lost in the lot of Warlock videos. This is not to your standards guys. Hope your Titan guide will be just as good, if not better, as the Hunter one.
scumbags with thorns. When i use it i feel like a straight up scumbag, so i rarely use it in pvp. i like to mix things up and use different weapons not just stick to one
There are multiple useful builds for Voidwalker. If they had gone and posted a video about the hyper-offense builds MOST people use, there would be absolutely no point to posting it.
This build is wasteful. Only very inexperienced players would not be able to counteract this. If u played against good ppl u would get destroyed. This video was made because they r running out of stuff to make videos on.

Now that I have had Praxic Fire, when I use radiance with anything else it feels like my grenades take hours to regenerate in combat :/
yea but they already did there sunsinger guide and didn't know what t do for void walker they should've made this one the killing machine
Epic review as always! And thanks to the whole team for the IB reviews and tips this week I got my friends to think I actually know how to lead a crucible team ;)
Lol that titan at 4:52, after he died he was like "Gonna take a swim on land" *Dives onto Land*

a nova bomb to block the door ever heard of using your supper not just to rack up kills

Wouldn't this build be super useful in the Omnigul strike, too? I love this build!
What was the song that started at 2:11
Or just bubble on the control point ;) #titanmasterace
Sike
#Titanmasterbitchrace
Segen Acosta nova bomb le bubble
Bitch bubble
CptGameMaster then get nova bombed, and you die. or golden gun shot, with the forth shot killing you. Ive done it many times. Rock, paper, scissors! Thats why i love this game.
I get more satysfaction from getting a kill than from throwing nova bomb to block off doors ;)
So my first character was a Titan, my second was a Hunter, and I just made a Warlock yesterday. Warlock with Voidwalker is already my favorite.
Used this loadout build to complete the thorn bounty yesterday in Control. This build is awesome!
5:08 "DA CHAMP 300 found SUROS Regime" I wish RNGeesus loved me that much
Just curious how do you (other UA-cam gamers) record your gameplay?!? I would like to start recording gameplay from my friends and I but not sure where I should begin and what to get

A capture card is used. PS4 and XB1 have record features, but I'm not too familiar with how they compare to cap cards.

Go to minute 5:11 and look at the game chat!😉👌👍
you DA BEST KEEP IT UP PLANET DESTINY people
Assuming you're not in a fireteam, it's best to be fluid with your build. The more items you've got handy, the better.
Lifsteal build could do good too.
You run axion bolt for grenade, hve the lance for four super and have lifesteal for your melee, other than hat you ru max agility and battle recovery with an increased grenade and super radius with embrace the void as the last perk, for the weapons, use red death, a high power shotgun (felwinters is good) and you have a heavy of your preference, the whole build is about getting in close and personal and continuously feeding your life with the kills you make, chasing any stragglers with your axion bolt to pick them off, and using super if you get into a pinch, apotheosis veil would be the best bet for you exotic armour piece
Hmmm was wondering, is there is any difference between speed and armor in pvp ? can't decide on wich one to focus.
ayomashavre Armor will help you survive a bit more damage, speed will allow you to move faster
What shotgun are you useing it's amazing!
I enjoyed the insight to voidwalker in pvp. Not a fan of pvp myself I only play it with friends who go in. Question is though will you be posting a PVE voidwalker build?
Nice video, love the help!
This is build is Basicly made for iron banner for me and I love being a team player so I'll love this build
But what if you don't have an exotic weapon (yet)? I have a legendary handcannon, i can use that, but i really enjoy using an auto rifle. I previously went for pulse rifles, but now i go for auto rifles. Theres just something about holding down the trigger and watch all the bullets fly out of the mag that's so satisfying to me.
Wow that shotgun you were using seems powerful. Nice video :)
interesting build but you really have to change your mindset and playing style to use this set which means you have to practice for a while. And like you said it really requires communication to really take advantage of with this build is trying to do and I'm not sure without a full team it would really work if you go into the crucible by yourself.
5:09 Wow, that guy got SUROS
Hawkmoon for this build?
5:11 dat suros drop though... at least i already have one.
If you use high strength with Voidwalker you will actually recharge you grenades fast; Energy Drain gives you bonus grenade energy combined with soul rip give you bonus super energy, so you could go two ways with it; high strength or high-ish intellect and discipline
Planet destiny, why are you so awesome?
applebeat54 All of the subscriber awesomeness just rubs off on us
Just have to point out how RNGsus is most times a dick: 5:11 "Your team won!" enemy player finds SUROS regime...
Holy shit 5:11 someone found the Suros
kid gets a suros at 5:10
it *was* a good weapon for the crucible.
It still is
Sounds like a good build but I can't help but feel that Sunsinger would do this job a lot better than Voidwalker, especially with Sunbreakers. Hm.
5:10 A guy in the enemy team get the suros.
I use a build similar to this almost the same perks but i use it to lock myself in with another player. ideally you want to use the last word for fast CQC to mid range kills, an LDR like sniper to defend your position from range, a high blast radius rocket launcher, and the ram to stay alive . this build allows you to easily out play other players blink behind them throw a vortex grenade behind the to keep them from getting away to cover.this build is ideal for clash, rumble or skirmish.

How are you supposed to gain any measure of control over these stats when 80% of the gear we get is a random drop and the other 20% extremely expensive vendor armor that's got random stats anyway? (I say extremely expensive because of the fact that you need a commendation now in addition to a ton of marks. It takes me FOREVER to get enough marks, let alone level the faction.)
Why does armor not matter anymore?
Why without armor? Please explain me
Armor makes very little difference in PvP(around a 20 hit point difference for warlocks), so sacrificing armor for speed and recovery is viable.
I already use this exact build (except I use axion bolt) but I do use it more for fast cooldowns and lots of kills and I use voidfang vestments as my exotic instead, it is really awesome launching massive nova bombs which sometimes kill survivors or the odd player who walks into it
obsidian mind-bad juju and ur set. This guide is probably the reason why 9/10 warlocks do super bad in the crucible.
PlanetDestiny quick question. Does armor effect your health in the crucible?
Yes, we have a video on this: ua-cam.com/video/GWbir0tlojk/v-deo.html
PlanetDestiny
thank you
The build is good but you need The Skull of Dire Ahamkara because if you are going to be taking down as much enemies as possible you need to tank damage.
You can survive a golden gun shot if you are using The Skull
andre mansour
But you can't surive a final round headshot from my efrideet!
if i land it once in a dozen times. Feels so rewarding on novabombing warlocks and panick super titans.
PlanetDestiny You have EXACTLY the same weapon loadout as me - Thorn, Felwinter's Lie and Against All Odds.
What's the best app/website for lfg?
SlickkyBrandon2011 www.destinylfg.net/
Or use a Titan bubble ?
Those bubbles are for pussies lol
You want max armor. Having max armor a trip mine wont kill you unless you get stuck by one
I use this combined with a nova bomb factory bad juju + obsidian mind, very good IMO
The recommended gear and stats is what I am already using. Guess I am that good. 😀
I use voidwalker more as a person who can do damage in a wide are. Bloom is extremely useful with axion bolt and life steal is also great. Voidfang vestments is also great armor cuase respawning with grenades and three bolts is extremely good
Obsidian mind + Bad juju. Nuff said
Thats for pve...
Nice video BBK!
5:10 peep the suros
Did anybody else get mad when u saw that guy get a SUROS😡
May need to adjust my aim to hit doors, pah! I've slain hundreds of doors with my nova bombs, though I usually didn't mean to... :(
Someone is a southpaw...
After maxing out all the 6 classes and getting all 3 characters to 32, voidwalker is my favorite sub class. I think im the only one who uses voidwalker over sunsinger for hard raids, lol.
Uhhhhhhhh this is Byfs exact build no?
Jimmy Long Not sure if he's mentioned it before, but I wouldn't be surprised. These talents are very helpful in denying enemy advancement
Yeah I think that's byf's zoning built he did a review on that. Focused on blocking off pathways in order not to get flanked and so on.
However I prefer my own voidwalker built
I know that this build is good, I just like to know other people also think so. Thx planet destiny!
5:10 someone got suros...
Keep it up guys :)
Sorry if i'm a noob (I'm really not, just search x0h Avalon on google.) But is there a IB Pulse Rifle?
I apresiate that this had options and not something that sounds like "This is the end all be all for this build". Keep this kind of commentary up.
My build uses axion bolt,blink, shatter, surge, annihilate and embrace the void. Exotic [skull of dire ahamakara]
Tell me what you think of my build.
Warlock master race
I think Warlocks are the masters of shotguns, when you use shotguns with titans it feels a little sludgy (probably because I use warlock for most of destiny but hay its my opinion). Hunters do really well with shot guns but I would go for a Sunsinger over blade dancer just because Sunsingers are more fun :)

I absolutely love how planet destiny apparently doesn't give a shit about PvE and only cares about PvP. there is more to Destiny than just multiplayer.
Anybody got any advice on how to get people to chat with you? Im on PS4 and if anyone maybe wants to hop in to the Crucible some day hit me up.
Im ps4, i have over 100 regular destiny players on my friends list who are nice people to talk to and i found them on the IGN forums on bungie.com. We also do raids, nightfalls etc together. If you want add me my PSN is SinisterShadows9
LewisMenzies add batmandominates I will play with you sometime
Hey you should give your builds back story's I think that would be awesome even though there's not much destiny more to go off of to help
I am but a humble wizard (warlock)
Shatter alows you to destroy titan bubles and kill those inside but this is still a great vid.
BBK!
Lol shadow runner? Who makes up the names?
Pve build ?
5:10 gets suros regime
Omg its bbkdragoon
Warlock is the best PvP class after gunslinger golden gun nerf and shotgun felwinter's lie comes out.
Dragoon!
This is funny bcz I just created a warlock to day lol
Your hunter guide was more in-depth and comprehensive. This will just get lost in the lot of Warlock videos. This is not to your standards guys. Hope your Titan guide will be just as good, if not better, as the Hunter one.
Bungie totally ripped off hearthstone. In hearthstone the warlock class has a card called the voidwalker.
It could be a reference, something Bungie is very well known for.
[PSG] Terminal VelociRaptor True.
No offense, but you're bad at using a Void Walker.
scumbags with thorns. When i use it i feel like a straight up scumbag, so i rarely use it in pvp. i like to mix things up and use different weapons not just stick to one
Sorry but I'm a slayer lol
Got*
32nd comment
very floofy
Whoa, thats how a noob would build a voidlock. Lost some big amount of respect for you guys.
There are multiple useful builds for Voidwalker. If they had gone and posted a video about the hyper-offense builds MOST people use, there would be absolutely no point to posting it.
I love how this is built specifically for control and nothing else...bad guide imo
Please don't play voidwalker...
Much nerd
This build is wasteful. Only very inexperienced players would not be able to counteract this. If u played against good ppl u would get destroyed. This video was made because they r running out of stuff to make videos on.
It's for control. Hyper-offense isn't always the best. What, now are Titan defenders the worst thing in the whole game
Know what works better than cutting off lanes in pvp? Killing the other team. Shit builds
...do you not understand what the point of a support class is?
Do you not understand what the point of a team deathmatch variation is?
Great Whit North I do indeed, thanks. If you intend to answer my question, the option is still there.
cool build :)
