For behemoth if you wiggle the controller left and right during the heavy slam itll cause the crystals to fill in that gap consistantly causing every crytal to shatter. Makes it unbelievably consistent.
Still amazed me that people in the stream were saying that because an ability doesn't weaken that it wasn't a debuff. While weaken is a debuff, not all debuffs weaken. Weaken now is strictly a light debuff with void. Sever, unravel, slow are examples of a darkness debuff.
I will say in hindsight Hunter has their strand melee that a teammate could apply sever without worrying about the extra damage from unraveling and still apply a darkness debuff so could have more accurate damage numbers
Really not that crazy, d2 players mostly just refer to buffs and debuffs as they relate to damage multipliers with only one buff and one debuff actually affecting damage numbers. Gotta keep it simple for this community ya know

As someone that has always struggled with soloing dungeons and was able to do my first solo run of warlords ruin by using song of flame and dragons breath, I promise u, it really cooks
Honestly, nova bombs better. I’ve solo flawlessed every dungeon with nova bomb and edge transit/dragons breath Being able to keep the transcendence grenades for weaken makes a massive difference. Shaves off a full dmg phase on most bosses compared to song of flame SoF has the nice survivability though, which can be clutch in some cases
For inmost light you need to hit something with the melee to work and its display the buff with song of flame but idk if its does anything during the super
Spirit of Inmost does _not_ include the damage boosts to your grenade & melee, nor any form of effect boost for class abilities. You could claim they left that part out because it's more core to the Exotic's identity or whatever, but it wouldn't surprise me if part of it was to not have to come up with what *minor* benefit it could even give to Dodges, Rifts, Phoenix Dive, and Thruster.
You most definitely do not need to hit something with it.. grenade charges melee and class… class charges melee and grenade. Melee however, does not charge either.
Necrotic/Stareater Song of flame Warlock is what I’ve ran and haven’t taken it off. I was sad at the Stareater nerf to ignitions but it still absolutely cooks everything. Such a joy no matter if it’s hordes of ads or a boss it was the combo I was curious for the most and sought out the most. So happy to have gotten that drop so early on in farming. Good luck to those who are still after it or are now looking it. 🤙🏻
I have huge respect for the fact you amended the title to 'total damage' from 'dps'. Very respectable decision from you or your editor, whoever it was.
@@iamboringvideos6832yeah star eaters doesn’t apply on the ignition caused by song of flame anymore so it did used to do more damage. So it was technically a nerf but took it from S++ to S+
@@iamboringvideos6832 Well yes but the Thing with ignitions is that they scale with the source that procced the ignition. So If that is buffed, the ignitions also got buffed.
Also, don't know if you even noticed it in the video, but the star-eater buff immidiately disappeared on Hammer of Sol cast, while it didn't on Twilight Arsenal. Could be that it either didn't work (bug) or some other interaction (damage to something) immidiately ate the charges.
W… why unraveling rounds?? You could just as easily apply Sever instead, not have to worry about calculating the unravel damage, it weakens the enemy’s damage output, and can be applied by hunter melees and the slice perk
44:41 Do that with swarmers and you can keep up the darkness debuff for courage since the threadlings will give unravel. I use this for my strand-prismatic build.
The new hunter arc super and threadrunner are the BEST out of ALL the supers because you don't have to fucking jump through 10 hoops to get a good amount of damage. ALSO you would be getting even MORE than 1.1 mil if you used the actual star eater pants
@@benatlas6587 nah all hunter supers need a nerf in pve. They should range anywhere from 150k - 350k with star eaters while nighthawk golden gun should be 250k, still hunt 200k
i think what would help this test is to measure the time it takes for the entire super to be over to get a dps value we kinda know longer super means worse DPS, but for a ranking like this, using dps would be useful i think. just the number / super activation time, literally from the time you press the button to activate until it shows empty like, song of flame is ~12 seconds, so at 2m damage thats just around 170k dps thats lower than most weapon damage, just using leviathans breath has higher dps than that now that doesnt mean song of flame is bad, cause utility is a factor, but i feel like these numbers inflate how good it is for DPS
Love to hear it, that the damage is always situational. For example, I'd run a hunter for more precision damage bosses (I'm always on hunter to carry folks through Warlord's) and a warlock in less precise situations or if a team needs either song or well. Titan, I generally just run for fun, the super buffs are very noticeable and definitely something I'll be using more frequently. After the Precious Scars bug got patched, I am now more willing to play my boom boom build with Tommy's Matchbook, paired with Hammer of Sol. Btw, I did in fact carry someone in a duo run for their first proper GM the other day. It was fun, so I plan to play titan again with them in GMs over warlock sometimes
Seeing an OG Rocket League pro in an Aztec video was not on my Bingo card for the day 16:41 Lachinio was one of the original goats. I didn't even know he played Destiny..
I know players who were the OG’s from battle cars and the beginning of rocket league, they were called team Epic, one of my best friends KrabKebab was part of the team, he stopped playing years ago sadly but his team still plays to this day, I’m not sure if but they’ve probably played against lachino
For Greg, if you can aim the behemoth titan slam at his right leg, maybe there will be more stasis crystal explosions instead of just the middle lane of crystals exploding with maybe a few from the side lanes.
I think it was a mistake to give star eater's out universally. I always felt it was the sole reason most of the hunter supers ever ended up competitive or top of the charts. This testing just goes to show that once you balance the field with everyone having star eaters, a lot of the hunter supers just don't even remotely keep up. ONE of the top ten unique supers you tested were even from a hunter (I don't think it's fair to say 1 in the top like 20 variances, so I'm only counting each super once). And I'm kinda calling out the community, but the community likes to shit on Hunters for no reason, so I don't expect there to be any support for their buffs, even if many pool together wanting Titans buffed.
Idk what hunters need fixed with them or any of their problems( due to me being a Titan main) but I do know that the main problem with titans is options, we only got 2 real ranged supers( shield throw from sentinel doesn’t count) and when was the last time there was more than one Titan build that was “meta”. I’m not saying that every single build you make should be viable in every scenario, but I’d like to have more than a single build in higher end content that makes it so if I run the builds I love, I’m “selling”
12:59, 16:18, 23:16 I don’t know if you noticed it, but Facet of Courage stopped working when you switched to Stasis and Strand subclasses, since that fragment only buffs Light ability damage onto a Darkness debuff. Should have switch over to Facet of Devotion for proper damage testing.
As a Behemoth Titan lover, the BEST case scenario for the super I’ve seen, is either hitting the boss with dragons breath first, or have a Solar warlock with their new super on your team, this helps in making sure ALL your Crystal are broken for damage. Easily hitting over 2mil damage… I cleared the entire legendary campaign on behemoth for this very reason
the thing with melee-only song of flame, is that you can put a rocket or grenade launcher shot in between, without losing any super damage. Other roaming supers do not have this option, since not spamming loses damage. With an explosive light grenade launcher, you'll get several hundreds of thousands more damage. Also, so whoever says class ability does not use super power in song of flame, they are cappin'. it does, clearly.
Hunters are fine. Goldie still is the best dps super due to how fast you can proc it and move onto weapon damage. A hunter who knows what he's doing should almost never be out dpsed by a warlock or a titan
@@petervalvo1186 I'd like to agree, but how can you say that when Nova Bomb takes maybe 1 more second and does 200k more damage? They need to buff Celestial and Hunters in general. They were finally good for about 2-3 months, and that was taken away so fast.
So what I'm getting from this is that titan's twilight is actually the best DMG supernin the game as is applies a debuff and you can keep reapplying the debuff with the axes it spawn and if you want to get crazy with the and DMG rotation, use the axe for 9 lights + The throw = 320k (roughly) add that onto the DMG you get from throwing the initial axes and you get a overall DMG value of 2Mil with applying a drbuf for your team
Don't count picking uo the axes when determining how good the super is. 1. You won't get to do that combo with all three axes before they disappear. 2. If you are in a raid and people are using rockets/GLs and you run between them and the boss to grab an axe you'll cause deaths or preexplode their shots and...you'll get kicked from the team. 3. Not all bosses are grounded or even safe enough to get into melee range with.
Realistically, no. Warlocks reliably apply facet of courage, weaken, and unravel throughout the entire damage phase with transcendence, and it takes up almost no time at all to do so. Add in passive shatter damage with bleak watcher and passive scorch and ignitions with hellion. Also, do not go for spirit apotheosis. Use necrotic for boss dps. Song of flame you use acrius. Nova you use Edge Transit bns envious reserves dump. Both can solo 1 phase this boss using this set up.
@@poggersplayer69 I think you missed the point because even after what you just said twilight is still the best damage super sitting at 2 mil with no extra abilities used like warlocks would need to in your situation, and you could easily one phase solo this boss with behemoth (inconsistent) and a falling guillotine with surrounded and frenzy. With the top notch rng and wiggle on behemoth you can get him to 25% of his HP and then smack him with your sword
@theshortstack02 nova is also 1 and done where twilight arsenal has 3 separate casts and does less total damage with the same buffs and debuffs active. The only thing Nova has going against it is potentially blocking teammates shots in some encounters depending on where you path it. You could always relocate so it doesn't block shots, but that could be inconvenient in some instances, and you might lose out on damage because of it.
I think something that could help the consistency of damaging with Behemoth titan would be if should ANY of the crystals created by the super be shattered, it would also insta-shatter the rest of the crystals instantaneously and to also massively increase the range of the shatter of the crystals SPECIFICALLY from the super
Wow, I love it when my super niche super that is rarely used is better on a subclass that ALSO has access to more supers that are exponentially more consistent than my niche one.
when they gave everyone star eaters i knew we were cooked + the fact our only good dps super on prismatic is golden gun and that needs celestial nighthawk (not a double exotic perk cloak)
both titans and hunters need a buff good god i usually enjoy making fun of hunters for how meta they used to be but after this i feel the pain. the fact both tcrash and celestial are barely pushing any damage is astonishing. besides silkstrike and storm's edge i feel like every other one needs a buff across the board, same goes for titans with the exception of twilight, hammer and behemoth
They’ve nerfed arc Titan so much, instead of them constantly needing things, bring the weaker abilities up to their levels.. it’s so dumb that they just destroy so many fun builds because it had a few weeks as the meta
necrotic and star-eater is my fave on warlock to throw poison needles that deal constant between damage rotations. i wish i was there when you had this going i couldve come in and shown yall how good it is
It's so sad how bad Thundercrash is at the moment compared to Twilight Arsenal...I wouldn't be surprised some Titans will use Twilight Arsenal over Thundercrash vs Atraks now
After seeing this video, bungo is gonna nerf every single warlock super. “We fixed an issue where warlock supers were actually doing great damage in pve, sorry to let you warlock mains have some good shit, that was unintentional.”
Even with Prismatic, I am still a Blade Barrage main. I really, really hope Bungie incorporates the other supers into it, combine aspects/fragments, and then they can just depreciate the old screens and irrelevant fragments.
Same people defending the ultra hunter nerf to still hunt will see no problem with the strongest hunter super being 1 million+ damage below other options
I gotta ask...wht is the roll of a hunter in pve?...you can't heal you can't protect and you have the worst damage output of all the classes overall...as a hunter main I'm so sick of my class getting nurfed because of pvp and having to be a GOD at the game to put up respectable numbers stay alive and look good lol ...seriously tho hunters need a buff and they can start by tying mobility to handling and reload speed
@@Costelloworld invis is broken it’s the best survivability tool in the entire game. Hunters do not need any buffs, they’re fine as is, but still need some nerfs here and there
@fridaysatjons1097 it's only for them tho...someone said(in a facebook chat ) they are jack of all trades and Master of none, that is there roll in pve...they also said the are the add clear class lol so idk if that is accurate...
Anything tested with Synthos should be ignored because with most bosses you can't get that buff consistently anyway. And the only super actually worth using generally is Twilight Arsenal. No one is gonna run Hammers for damage lol. Especially since you have to run Solar to get the most out of them. Using Twlight Arsenal is much more practical in a real scenario. Like its great that Behemoth does almost 2 million damage but its rarely a practical option for damage. Golden Gun does less but is practical just about everywhere, which makes it a better super imo.
Hunters are fine. We still have the best dps out of the supers since we can shoot goldie and get back to weapon damage a lot faster than other classes, and doesn't take anywhere near as long to charge up since we don't need 6 orbs after super is full. Besides, Song of flame can't be used against every boss and works best when only 1 is being used, and nova still has the issue of blocking shots from teamates so it's still not that ideal against quite a few raid bosses
@@petervalvo1186not really while nova can block teammates bullets it objectively is the better one and done super taking maybe a second longer to use then go into dps rotation, in that case warlocks will do more damage than a hunter
Idk if anyone knows this, but facet of dominance (void grenades apply weaken), also applies to warlock prismatic grenade, so if you need a source of weaken but wanna run a different grenade, there ya go
Not even a minute in: "all that i ask is there's no weaken effect whatsoever". My brother in christ, Twilight Arsenal weakens on the explosion from the throw, so the latter 2 axes' damage isn't increased if the target is already weakened from before, only the first one's.
@@jackburkel4119 tether isn't affected by general weaken effects because it's own weaken effect is stronger (30%, unlike general void weaken which is 15%).
@@jackburkel4119 that the wraken effect doesn't scale equally between the void supers. You can't outright remove it, so asking for no weaken is basically a half factir to push up supers that apply the default level of weaken themselves (twilight arsenal and spectral blades). Also, he does end up implementing weaken weaken from niva bomb onwards, so why not allow it from the beginning.

Just did a casual. 8.7m duo run on warlords ruin final boss as a solar warlock song of flame dragons breath abberrant action dawn chorus

My duo m8 thought he was having a really good dps phase and when we finished and he saw the scoreboard he was mindblown I had doubled his 'great damage' lmao he had like 4m and I hit 8.7m
@@TheYurikeeProject Are you cycling the nades are just spamming the melees for song of flame?
As someone that has always struggled with soloing dungeons and was able to do my first solo run of warlords ruin by using song of flame and dragons breath, I promise u, it really cooks
Honestly, nova bombs better. I’ve solo flawlessed every dungeon with nova bomb and edge transit/dragons breath
Being able to keep the transcendence grenades for weaken makes a massive difference. Shaves off a full dmg phase on most bosses compared to song of flame
SoF has the nice survivability though, which can be clutch in some cases
For inmost light you need to hit something with the melee to work and its display the buff with song of flame but idk if its does anything during the super
Spirit of Inmost does _not_ include the damage boosts to your grenade & melee, nor any form of effect boost for class abilities. You could claim they left that part out because it's more core to the Exotic's identity or whatever, but it wouldn't surprise me if part of it was to not have to come up with what *minor* benefit it could even give to Dodges, Rifts, Phoenix Dive, and Thruster.
You most definitely do not need to hit something with it.. grenade charges melee and class… class charges melee and grenade.
Melee however, does not charge either.
inmost doesnt need to hit anything...... you just need to use it to gain the buff to other abilities.
@@123TheCloopIt does need to hot something. Maybe it's different for extending the buff but proc requires hit for nades and melee.

Necrotic/Stareater Song of flame Warlock is what I’ve ran and haven’t taken it off. I was sad at the Stareater nerf to ignitions but it still absolutely cooks everything. Such a joy no matter if it’s hordes of ads or a boss it was the combo I was curious for the most and sought out the most. So happy to have gotten that drop so early on in farming. Good luck to those who are still after it or are now looking it. 🤙🏻
I have huge respect for the fact you amended the title to 'total damage' from 'dps'. Very respectable decision from you or your editor, whoever it was.
So… Song Of Flame is still on top despite the “nerf”? I FUCKING KNEW IT!!

The editors deserve a raise after all the work that went into this video
Also, don't know if you even noticed it in the video, but the star-eater buff immidiately disappeared on Hammer of Sol cast, while it didn't on Twilight Arsenal. Could be that it either didn't work (bug) or some other interaction (damage to something) immidiately ate the charges.
Because on roaming supers it is still consumed
It consumes the buff but the damage lasts for the duration of the super
Thanks for taking the time to do this cross

Just want to applaud the editor for the amount of work that went into this video. Awesome work.
W… why unraveling rounds?? You could just as easily apply Sever instead, not have to worry about calculating the unravel damage, it weakens the enemy’s damage output, and can be applied by hunter melees and the slice perk
Right??? They could’ve even thrown a duskfield w renewals to make him deal less damage to cross
Right??? They could’ve even thrown a duskfield w renewals to make him deal less damage to cross
44:41 Do that with swarmers and you can keep up the darkness debuff for courage since the threadlings will give unravel. I use this for my strand-prismatic build.
These damage test vids are always my favorite lol
i think i need to main titan
the super damages that hunter was doing isnt it
appreciate the in depth testing. Especially with courage
Jave we forgotten that Nova Warp used to be very potent back in Solar 3.0 release, during the Blade Barrage Age lol
The new hunter arc super and threadrunner are the BEST out of ALL the supers because you don't have to fucking jump through 10 hoops to get a good amount of damage. ALSO you would be getting even MORE than 1.1 mil if you used the actual star eater pants
Silence and squall with normal star eater, and more stasis buffs may be better than just prismatic. Should probably give that a try.
@@benatlas6587 nah all hunter supers need a nerf in pve. They should range anywhere from 150k - 350k with star eaters while nighthawk golden gun should be 250k, still hunt 200k
@@fridaysatjons1097 irrelevant? I'm suggesting what to be tested and/or may be better, not comparing to other supers.
Yes with Whisper of Durance on too.
What a time to be a warlock💪🏾
Thanks cross i'll be staying up to 3am with this one
i think what would help this test is to measure the time it takes for the entire super to be over to get a dps value
we kinda know longer super means worse DPS, but for a ranking like this, using dps would be useful i think.
just the number / super activation time, literally from the time you press the button to activate until it shows empty
like, song of flame is ~12 seconds, so at 2m damage thats just around 170k dps
thats lower than most weapon damage, just using leviathans breath has higher dps than that
now that doesnt mean song of flame is bad, cause utility is a factor, but i feel like these numbers inflate how good it is for DPS
Behemoth isn't inconsistant you just gotta range yourself properly with it, not too hard.
The fact that the knife is three thunder crashes in pve and pvp after all the nerfs thunder crash has received is nuts
I was wondering this last night! Didn't expect warlock to be half of the video, but as a warlock, I'm not mad at all!
Greg teleporting is hilarious.
Great video cross appreciate the information your team puts out here on UA-cam
do this testing again with one and done supers and max dps weapon combos.
Good idea
Just Go and Look at the aegis spreadsheet
Thundercrash needs a buff
Love to hear it, that the damage is always situational. For example, I'd run a hunter for more precision damage bosses (I'm always on hunter to carry folks through Warlord's) and a warlock in less precise situations or if a team needs either song or well. Titan, I generally just run for fun, the super buffs are very noticeable and definitely something I'll be using more frequently. After the Precious Scars bug got patched, I am now more willing to play my boom boom build with Tommy's Matchbook, paired with Hammer of Sol. Btw, I did in fact carry someone in a duo run for their first proper GM the other day. It was fun, so I plan to play titan again with them in GMs over warlock sometimes
Seeing an OG Rocket League pro in an Aztec video was not on my Bingo card for the day 16:41 Lachinio was one of the original goats. I didn't even know he played Destiny..
I know players who were the OG’s from battle cars and the beginning of rocket league, they were called team Epic, one of my best friends KrabKebab was part of the team, he stopped playing years ago sadly but his team still plays to this day, I’m not sure if but they’ve probably played against lachino
For Greg, if you can aim the behemoth titan slam at his right leg, maybe there will be more stasis crystal explosions instead of just the middle lane of crystals exploding with maybe a few from the side lanes.
I think it was a mistake to give star eater's out universally. I always felt it was the sole reason most of the hunter supers ever ended up competitive or top of the charts. This testing just goes to show that once you balance the field with everyone having star eaters, a lot of the hunter supers just don't even remotely keep up. ONE of the top ten unique supers you tested were even from a hunter (I don't think it's fair to say 1 in the top like 20 variances, so I'm only counting each super once).
And I'm kinda calling out the community, but the community likes to shit on Hunters for no reason, so I don't expect there to be any support for their buffs, even if many pool together wanting Titans buffed.
As a Titan main who believes the class's Prismatic offerings could use some looking at, I agree that many Hunter supers could use buffs. _shrug_
Idk what hunters need fixed with them or any of their problems( due to me being a Titan main) but I do know that the main problem with titans is options, we only got 2 real ranged supers( shield throw from sentinel doesn’t count) and when was the last time there was more than one Titan build that was “meta”. I’m not saying that every single build you make should be viable in every scenario, but I’d like to have more than a single build in higher end content that makes it so if I run the builds I love, I’m “selling”
Hunters still do higher dps. Their individual supers don't do the most damage tho
Being a warlock main, hard agree. Distinctive class exotics shouldn't be universal. Same goes for synthoceps and necrotic.
Unpopular opinion, roaming supers should massively outclass one and dones in terms of total damage
12:59, 16:18, 23:16 I don’t know if you noticed it, but Facet of Courage stopped working when you switched to Stasis and Strand subclasses, since that fragment only buffs Light ability damage onto a Darkness debuff. Should have switch over to Facet of Devotion for proper damage testing.
Bungie really needs to buff golden gun and celestial again and stop with the conatant nerfs to it
As a Behemoth Titan lover, the BEST case scenario for the super I’ve seen, is either hitting the boss with dragons breath first, or have a Solar warlock with their new super on your team, this helps in making sure ALL your Crystal are broken for damage.
Easily hitting over 2mil damage…
I cleared the entire legendary campaign on behemoth for this very reason
57:05 “You guys”? You mean “we”, since you are a Warlock main
He is, or at least was, a titan main
I always love seeing the damage testing videos but at lot of these just have either setups or jumping through hoops to get this damage.
Locks we cookin 🤤
the thing with melee-only song of flame, is that you can put a rocket or grenade launcher shot in between, without losing any super damage. Other roaming supers do not have this option, since not spamming loses damage. With an explosive light grenade launcher, you'll get several hundreds of thousands more damage. Also, so whoever says class ability does not use super power in song of flame, they are cappin'. it does, clearly.
Man they nerfed the hunter down to the bone, at least give them or us back the three tether damage buff
Hunters are fine. Goldie still is the best dps super due to how fast you can proc it and move onto weapon damage. A hunter who knows what he's doing should almost never be out dpsed by a warlock or a titan
@@petervalvo1186 I'd like to agree, but how can you say that when Nova Bomb takes maybe 1 more second and does 200k more damage? They need to buff Celestial and Hunters in general. They were finally good for about 2-3 months, and that was taken away so fast.
I was there for all of this. Thank you.
So what I'm getting from this is that titan's twilight is actually the best DMG supernin the game as is applies a debuff and you can keep reapplying the debuff with the axes it spawn and if you want to get crazy with the and DMG rotation, use the axe for 9 lights + The throw = 320k (roughly) add that onto the DMG you get from throwing the initial axes and you get a overall DMG value of 2Mil with applying a drbuf for your team
Tbf, I think titan deserves this considering most of their supers are just very similar roaming supers
Don't count picking uo the axes when determining how good the super is.
1. You won't get to do that combo with all three axes before they disappear. 2. If you are in a raid and people are using rockets/GLs and you run between them and the boss to grab an axe you'll cause deaths or preexplode their shots and...you'll get kicked from the team. 3. Not all bosses are grounded or even safe enough to get into melee range with.
Realistically, no. Warlocks reliably apply facet of courage, weaken, and unravel throughout the entire damage phase with transcendence, and it takes up almost no time at all to do so. Add in passive shatter damage with bleak watcher and passive scorch and ignitions with hellion. Also, do not go for spirit apotheosis. Use necrotic for boss dps. Song of flame you use acrius. Nova you use Edge Transit bns envious reserves dump. Both can solo 1 phase this boss using this set up.
@@poggersplayer69 I think you missed the point because even after what you just said twilight is still the best damage super sitting at 2 mil with no extra abilities used like warlocks would need to in your situation, and you could easily one phase solo this boss with behemoth (inconsistent) and a falling guillotine with surrounded and frenzy. With the top notch rng and wiggle on behemoth you can get him to 25% of his HP and then smack him with your sword
@theshortstack02 nova is also 1 and done where twilight arsenal has 3 separate casts and does less total damage with the same buffs and debuffs active. The only thing Nova has going against it is potentially blocking teammates shots in some encounters depending on where you path it. You could always relocate so it doesn't block shots, but that could be inconvenient in some instances, and you might lose out on damage because of it.
I think something that could help the consistency of damaging with Behemoth titan would be if should ANY of the crystals created by the super be shattered, it would also insta-shatter the rest of the crystals instantaneously and to also massively increase the range of the shatter of the crystals SPECIFICALLY from the super
Golden gun needs a buff in my opinion
Yes it is definitly Not the Most oppressive dps super in the Game
Wow, I love it when my super niche super that is rarely used is better on a subclass that ALSO has access to more supers that are exponentially more consistent than my niche one.
Hunters really getting shit on. Still hunt is literally the only thing helping them

“We fixed an issue where warlock supers were actually doing great damage in pve, sorry to let you warlock mains have some good shit, that was unintentional.”

Even with Prismatic, I am still a Blade Barrage main. I really, really hope Bungie incorporates the other supers into it, combine aspects/fragments, and then they can just depreciate the old screens and irrelevant fragments.

Love your vids man but I wish you did more Super testing with base damage
This is proof titans are not bad rn, hunters, have the worst supers rn. Nova beats them in one and done and behemoth beats them in roaming.
Hunters destroys every class in PVP
Anything tested with Synthos should be ignored because with most bosses you can't get that buff consistently anyway. And the only super actually worth using generally is Twilight Arsenal. No one is gonna run Hammers for damage lol. Especially since you have to run Solar to get the most out of them. Using Twlight Arsenal is much more practical in a real scenario. Like its great that Behemoth does almost 2 million damage but its rarely a practical option for damage. Golden Gun does less but is practical just about everywhere, which makes it a better super imo.
Hunters are fine. We still have the best dps out of the supers since we can shoot goldie and get back to weapon damage a lot faster than other classes, and doesn't take anywhere near as long to charge up since we don't need 6 orbs after super is full. Besides, Song of flame can't be used against every boss and works best when only 1 is being used, and nova still has the issue of blocking shots from teamates so it's still not that ideal against quite a few raid bosses
@@petervalvo1186not really while nova can block teammates bullets it objectively is the better one and done super taking maybe a second longer to use then go into dps rotation, in that case warlocks will do more damage than a hunter

Idk if anyone knows this, but facet of dominance (void grenades apply weaken), also applies to warlock prismatic grenade, so if you need a source of weaken but wanna run a different grenade, there ya go
Not even a minute in: "all that i ask is there's no weaken effect whatsoever". My brother in christ, Twilight Arsenal weakens on the explosion from the throw, so the latter 2 axes' damage isn't increased if the target is already weakened from before, only the first one's.
Why are people getting hung up on this, tether weakens too? Why don't you have an issue with that super?

@@jackburkel4119 that the wraken effect doesn't scale equally between the void supers.
