Bipod is a great perk, just not for dps. But it's absolutely amazing for gms. In a gm setting, nearly everything dies in 1/2 rockets with or without bipod so having the extra rockets in reserves is always worth it. Pairing it with envious on Osprey allows you to shoot 5 straight and pairing with field prep on Semiotician with tripple reserves allows you to hold 20 rockets. 20 rockets is absolutely insane. So while it's a bad perk for raid and dungeon bosses, for nearly anything else, namely gms and non boss raid/dungeon encounters it's a great perk.
If you're on titan, hazardous propulsion with surges makes bipod rockets do over 100k per rocket, ive been enjoying buried bloodline to charge hazardous, the new seasonal faith-keeper for auto Loading-bipod and tracking from the frame
@@griqsnot going away just can’t swap a chestpiece for them. Which means in any endgame content they are practically going away because the extra resist is practically required. Especially since bungie randomly decided they should all be -5 at all times now.
@@griqsthe bright side is that Bungie said they will be increasing the base reserves of all weapons so we won’t feel like we will be missing out, and if u want extra ammo just run the reserve mod
The new rocket having tracking built in with field/auto loading and bipod is amazing. It makes the simple gameplay even easier because you don’t have to aim as hard
I came back after years for Final Shape and I am grinding for a good Edge Transit. Unbelievable. This was a meme back in 2017. Almost impossible to get a god roll now. But man this does bump your DPS like crazy
I’m not gonna lie, I would always throw on Edge Transit with Envious/BnS for literally EVERY boss (funny part is that it always worked most of the time)
Pretty much all instances of bosses in this game that will work, but it's not always optimal, especially in still hunt rotations where you want apex or a solar GL to match surges
@@lilwook2 ah sorry misread. the simple comb is not the problem. The problem with envious + cascade is a huge problem. And THAT will be removed because the dps is out of this world. little explanation: The shiny had the possibility to drop with 2 perks on each coloumn. so technicly you could get an edge Transit with Envious assassin and cascade point in the third one. Combining this with Bait and Switch you had the best weapon in the game. Right now its possible to load your weapon with envious to tripple the mag and then switch the perk to cascade point and shoot out around 13 Grenades in this 5.5 seconds. So it is easily possible to dumb out an extrem amount of dmg and to switch out to the next dps weapon to do maximum damage. so dont worry, i just didnt read right :D
Thanks for the video! That player who soloed the encounter with The Witness gave what's probably the best example of damage output and survival, at least for that encounter.
Plz unless there is no other options dont use heavy linears. A taipan with triple tap firing line does similar dps to outbreak with max nanites (within 2%). Linears are very underpowered right now and need a buff. Use whisper, leviathans breath, still hunt, or even microchasm instead. All of these options except microchasm do better dps than the best possible linear which is, Adaptive burst linear fusion rifle Charge MW, Accelerated Coils, Envious Assassin swap to Cornered + enh. Surrounded + Adept Charge Time (Scintillation (Adept)) + Rain of Fire reloads from Aegis's damage sheet.
How is accelerated coils + charge time mw good on scintillation? I have that roll with rewind rounds bns and it says using enhanced battery has the same charge time as using accelerated coils (charge time mw is level 10).
I regret dismantling a LOT of weapons with Disruption Break, now. I didn't think there would EVER be a Kinetic Heavy. Let alone one good enough to see lots of use.
You need to break a shield with the weapon that has disruption break so it wouldn't work anyway. Ain't no major boss with a shield that DB can take off and shielded enemies are only like 1/3 of the things you'll face out there
@@firenzarfrenzy4985 ghosts of the deep is i think the single instance of shielded bosses that you have to break the shield of. also couldnt you use arby to pop a shield like that then loadout hotswap to microcosm?
The best usage you're going to get out of disruption break is having it paired with auto loading holster on a blinding nade launcher. It's phenomenal for gm's, regardless of whatever kinetic is being paired with it.
if you need precision damage i would HIGHLY recommend staying away from linears for stuff like whisper, leviathans breath and other exotics as linears are really mediocre damage. dont use them unless you have to.
One of my fav dps weapons is the dragons breath exotic stacked out with improved ignitions and I pair this with an auto loading recombination mountaintop and a golden gun. Constantly gets me damage in the 3 million range
Absolutely disgusting for a solar build its a must have then pair that with no hesitation incadecent physic auto rifle heal your team m8s blow stuff up and on hunter ypur ability uptime is absolutely BROKEN you get grenades and your dodge back every 2 secs its really really good i approve been my go to exptic rocket launcher since d1 😂
One small thing about the heavy attacks with swords. For all architypes of legendaries the heavy attacks increase the dps and lower the total damage. The dps increase is often pretty minor so as Shadow said in the video light attacks are usually preferred.
A couple things I noticed were slightly off / not clarified about swords: 1. Caster perfect 5th actually does scale pretty well in team settings, it’s the wave swords that lose damage for some reason. 2. Enhanced surrounded Bequest is actually a 42% dmg increase, not 35%. The perk can scale differently depending on what weapon it is on, such as enhanced surrounded on Apex or Crux.
no caster 5th still dont. its why the sniper artifact perk isnt absolutely broken, because ignites are shared across the team, not the individual. while it does ramp up scorch stacks faster, its still not worth it, and the ignitions are the entire point why caster 5th is so good.
Paring scintillation with the new raid exotic on a warlock is one of the best damage builds I've ever used. Both taking advantage of weapon surges as well as having massive ammo reserves for any long damage phase
Yeah but you'll finish your rotation in a week at that point. Both require high uptime and no quickswaps, and Heavy LFR are totally trash. You might as well use a Recon/ALH rocket and do your main damage with Euphony. Also, what happens if Threadlings can't reach the boss? It's a niche build that does well when it works, but really bad when it doesn't.
@@themaxpanteraschannel9459 regular heavy lfrs are bad. burst lfrs are far better. euphony has no issue proccing threadling hits on witness, neither does needlestorm or threadling grenades.
Out of the most recent two runs on warlord ruin. The final boss I am doings between 7 and 8 million total damage with my crafted Pro Memoria with witherhoard.
After Looking through all of collections I finally found what rocket launcher that actually is. It is in fact not "Dragon's Breath" and is instead something called "THe Hothead".
The sword light attack thing is so true whenever I’m doing herald with my gold guillotine I’m always doing the most damage while I watch my teammates hack away with heavy attacks and they don’t come within 1 million of my damage if we wipe and see damage numbers. I love OG guillotine but the I got mine with frenzy and surrounded or whirlwind blade it literally works in both scenarios absolutely disgusting that they somehow made guillotine three times better with the into the light version.
whirlwinds better if youve got a wolfpack ergo sum , since it ramps your stacks up twice as fast. been rocking that as well, frenzy whirlwind is really good
Personally, the only bipod rocket i use is crux with it and clown. I used it in the nezarek pantheon at the microcosm encounter, shooting three rockets and then swapping to cloudstrike, reload while switching plates and repeat.
for some short dps phases but you still want to use apex: reload apex manually => switch to witherhoard or something for 1 shot => go back to apex to fire 2 shots
The rocket chest piece on titan can do insane dps on legend and master level dungeons, especially with crafted apex and 2 rocket pistols. Also, the void crossbow from one of the dungeons counts as a rocket pistol so with catalyst you can still debuff without tractor cannon. Looking forward to the new solar rocket pistol so I can slap on those solar surge mods.
Crux Termination can get enhanced reconstruction with bipod for 4 rockets in the mag and offset the damage decrease with impact casing. It’s my most used rocket this season by FAR and shreds bosses
Use a gernade launcher for 90% of bosses. Never use a linear if possible Swords on bosses that are trickky to hit or have alot of health. Just stillhunt if on hunter
I'm pretty sure lasting impression only buffs the explosion damage, making it about a 20% damage buff, but the main thing about the perk is the delay and permanent up time
for Bipod I used that over Bait and Switch on Apex on Pantheon and was consistently getting the Highest damage, Bipod is slept on and its better than what people give it credit for
@@jackalsniper892 im sorry if this comes off as a little condescending or something, but... how on earth do you wipe around wave 10 of onslaught? is it with randoms? legend difficulty? this has truly piqued my interest
@@thepixarl4mp it's always with randoms , always on legend difficulty, I'm also not aware, what's the difference between legend and normal now? They both say power level 1900, I just assume legend gives more rewards so I do that, but usually we can't defend ADU on higher waves
@@jackalsniper892 i see.. well, iirc the big difference between normal and legend onslaught is the power cap for each wave set where on normal, a given wave would cap you at -5 (5 below the enemies), that same wave on legend would cap you at -15; thus the enemies have an even greater power difference between you, without changing their listed power (the 1900 "recommended power" you see on the launch node)
12:13 That not the best way to proc BnS, it's better if you shoot your other 2 weapons and then start shooting you rocket since the first shot of the rocket that actually procs BnS also get the benefits of the perk even tho you can't see it as numbers in your screen. You can confirm this if you go to the Aegis' spreadsheet and go to the Q&A section, he explains it there. And even if it didn't you are still losing time if you shoot rocket and then the rest, the first shot would still not be buffed so you are wasting time by changing between every shot, best if you do it the way I mentioned at the start. Edit: Also, don't keep activating the perk like that, once you proc it is better if you keep reloading and shooting it as normal until the perk runs out of time.
btw for swords it's great if you use your heavy attack when you have it, just not on vortex because it consumes so much ammo and the dps is the worst out of all options. better to stick with adaptives or summum bonum
you failed to mention that Crux Termination and Apex Predator both roll with Reconstruction and Bipod, which leads to 4 shots in the magazine (albeit at slightly reduced damage) and Reconstruction can handle the reloading when you swap to a different weapon for DPS... this paired with Gjallarhorn on a teammate means you rapid fire 4 rockets into a bosses face and then can poke the boss with something else like still hunt for some bonker's damage numbers while you wait for your rocket to reload!
About swords. If you can use swords, use Acrius. I have played crotas end with lfg like 15 times and theres always lament and bequest users who do about 4mil dmg and im chilling with acrius and doing about 6mil dmg. Just saying.
That’s user error. Lament is pretty bad now, but because Crota takes 35% more damage from swords they will handily out damage acrius, especially with how juiced they are via the artifact perks.
My dear titan mains , there a high dmg options for you : first use grand overture with the new chest exo for extremly high and easy burst dmg , also using " no back up plan" gives you a huge dmg boost on shotguns like 4th horseman or legend of acrius while having a void overshield pairing that with either a void subclas or even better using prismatic to give you overshield with shield throw and unbreakable makes it easy to prog . Also on some bosses that are big and on the ground using star eater with glacial quake is a good dmg option to when ur team is ok with that because stasis cristal can easily mess up your team mates but glacial quake is the highest dmg super in the game
Extra Note :Banner shield Like He Said is a realy good Support Option Not only because the DMG boost but the supers time is longer when you protect more Team mates from dmg also the more Team mates are behind your shield the more orbs of Powers will get produced while blocking dmg
@@rollenfocus2697not now, it has always been worse than heartshadow. The nerf it received changed almost nothing. What changed is the existence of Wave Sword Frames and Wolfpack rounds on swords, meaning that now there's much more competition between heavy swords and most legendaries can do better than Lament while still being pretty easy to use. Pair it with all the survivability tools we got and the healing from Lament has become obsolete, making the weapon basically useless.
All you gotta do is Pop super pop transcend, shoot Goldie, shoot sniper x6 swap weapons shoot, swap, shoot, swap, switch loadlouts, get orbs, shoot sniper, apply for mlg, wipe sweat off your forehead, swap weapons, shoot again, do 5 jumping jacks, and repeat. Simple
I’ve never done a raid before since I don’t have enough people, but I really want to stick with DMT, would that work if I can hit my shots and use other weapons to back it up, or is it just a lost cause that I should keep for regular PvE and PvP?
If you mean using DMT as your main method of Boss DPS, then yes it is a lost cause. If you mean using DMT strictly as your primary weapon, and not as your main method of Boss DPS then it is fine. I will say that scout rifles are not great in the current PVE sandbox, which doesn't matter much in the strike playlist or seasonal activities but matters quite a bit in raids. DMT for example, does not have great ad clear potential in comparison to Incandescent or Voltshot weapons, the survivability of a Heal Clip or Repulsor Brace weapon, or the utility of a Chill Clip or Slice weapon (these are only examples of meta perks). However, if you aren't dying and are pulling your weight on damage/ad clear, you can use whatever you want. A good raider will constantly keep tabs on their own performance, and understand their weaknesses as a player on top of what playstyles they find fun. If my team keeps wiping and it's because I keep dying, I may run a loadout more focused on my survival than on ad clear. If you like DMT though, I would recommend checking out the aggressive frame Legendary Scouts, especially the new one Timeworn Wayfarer, it functions like DMT in terms of fire rate, reload, etc. but it can roll Heal Clip/Incandescent, which is kind of the PVE meta for legendary primaries right now.
You really don't wanna be relying on primary weapons for DPS, you need to use heavy for DPS mostly. Doesn't mean you can't still run DMT, you just can't do boss damage with it
@@hellothere-dk4ggI was going to say if he insists on doing dps with a primary I would advise Polaris lance or outbreak perfected But there’s no point when we have all these better options
linears are dogshit no matter how you see it, the best possible linear with a prefect role, perk swapping and prefect setup does about the same damage as holding left click with microcosm, there is absolutely no reason to *ever* use linears in the current meta.
hot take cellist is the best exotic. here is why i can put it on shoot the boss go invis because why not and change back to my normal exotic right after dps. you change before and after so use presets and well it’s dumb af i swear
I love your videos, I've been playing Destiny again for a month, after a two years break and you definitely helped me understand how the game works now. If I can just say one thing, please, put a de-esser on your voice ! All the "s" sounds are piercing ! Other than that, thank you again for the great content !
@@ShadowDestiny2 to be honest, I tried on both my laptop speakers and my studio headphones and it's the same on both (slightly better on the headphones of course)!
This titan slander is egregious. You can literally use raw dog Void Titan with twilight arsenal, the rocket chest piece and a microcosm to be in the top 3 (if not number one) dps of any standard raid team.
It's usable, but without damage perks it's not that good. Ideally you want Reconstruction + Bait & Switch. Good thing is that you can get Last Wish loot solo every week, and it's not that difficult to do on most classes. There are plenty of videos on yt that show how to do it, find one and try to get either that roll or 5 red borders to craft it with whatever roll you want at the Enclave.
@@outercores if you consider using the Wish Wall to teleport to direct encounters and backtrack to get the secret chests without using bugs/glitches "cheesing" then yeah, I mean exactly that.

@@IvyDoomsday weird, never happends to me or the people that iv played with. Guess it depends what boss aswell, cus crota is just strange in it self and wizards will always be unreliable.
@@IvyDoomsday that is true, I do find that it is more crota that goes a bit weird in the sens of sudenly floating, but I could be wrong, iv not had it happen on the boss in the new raid but if it does then yeah that vould for sure be a problem but then I think it is more so bungie and their bosses and not the swords spesificly again could be wrong im just speaking from my experiance and what others iv played with had told me 😄

Please stay away from linears if you're able to. If you need precision damage then whisper and leviathan's breath are just better, microcasm is another option that has far better ease of use than linears for situations where whisper and levi aren't good. Also stay away from raycons, they're complete garbage in terms of audio quality. It's worth saving the extra money to get a more reputable pair from sony, samsung or apple, if you want cheap and wired isn't a dealbreaker then look for wired IEMs, they're so much better quality for the price. $20 can get you a pair of wired IEMs that sound as good or better than $120+ wireless earbuds.
I always use the wired headphones, wireless always has some sort of problem, whether it be connection or audio quality. A lot of them sound tinny, but many wired headphones I've tried sound really good. Crispy clear audio with the highs not being too high, and lows not being too low. Spiky sounds hurts my ears.
Microchasm is an absolutely broken combo paired with celestial night hawk and golden gun im surprised no one has discussed or even tryed that yet microchasm is absolutely broken rn and i feel like for some reason when paired woth celestial my golden gun charges INCREDIBLY FAST during boss dmg phase idk why lol 😅
@@rollenfocus2697 nah check aegis new video star eater nova is literally higher burst by itself now. Well over 1.1 million, only reason hunter is so good is because of still hunt. Without that sniper it’s 100x better to run all locks instead of hunters
@@TargetSniper365 that depends until we see the still hunt nerfs in game, 25 is big but this gun is broken as is even with that nerf as no gun can do what it does to that effect still
@@rollenfocus2697 you just proved my point about hunters. As it is now still hunt is the only reason the class sees play. Warlocks in a super vs super comparison are now higher with star eater nova doing over 400k more than a radiant nighthawk Goldie. And that’s without the seasonal artifact. If you add in expanding abyss the gap is even more. So no we don’t need to wait and see anything, facts are facts now. Hunters had the burst super crown for two years it’s time they were dethroned
After absorbing and analysis the information from the guide, the very single thing you gotta do to optimize dps was to ALWAYS do it with Thunderlord. That's all you need, and they'll hate you for being right.

for Bipod I used that over Bait and Switch on Apex on Pantheon and was consistently getting the Highest damage, Bipod is slept on and its better than what people give it credit for
its not slept on, its dogshit for damage, your team just fucking sucked.
chaos reshaped 2x also grants healing in chunks so its great as it grants the %35 damage boost
That’s why I watch these videos. I don’t wanna hurt the damage!
Farming onslaught now after final shape has a large weapon pool and getting a god roll on a weapon is near infinite runs.
Lol thats if i can actually get to high waves, i only ever got to wave 50 once out of probably 30 or 40 runs, we usually wipe at round 10-30
@@jackalsniper892 im sorry if this comes off as a little condescending or something, but...
how on earth do you wipe around wave 10 of onslaught? is it with randoms? legend difficulty?
this has truly piqued my interest
@@thepixarl4mp it's always with randoms , always on legend difficulty, I'm also not aware, what's the difference between legend and normal now? They both say power level 1900, I just assume legend gives more rewards so I do that, but usually we can't defend ADU on higher waves
@@jackalsniper892 i see.. well, iirc the big difference between normal and legend onslaught is the power cap for each wave set
where on normal, a given wave would cap you at -5 (5 below the enemies), that same wave on legend would cap you at -15; thus the enemies have an even greater power difference between you, without changing their listed power (the 1900 "recommended power" you see on the launch node)
@@thepixarl4mp is there a difference in rewards? If there isn't then no point in legend
12:13 That not the best way to proc BnS, it's better if you shoot your other 2 weapons and then start shooting you rocket since the first shot of the rocket that actually procs BnS also get the benefits of the perk even tho you can't see it as numbers in your screen. You can confirm this if you go to the Aegis' spreadsheet and go to the Q&A section, he explains it there. And even if it didn't you are still losing time if you shoot rocket and then the rest, the first shot would still not be buffed so you are wasting time by changing between every shot, best if you do it the way I mentioned at the start.
Edit: Also, don't keep activating the perk like that, once you proc it is better if you keep reloading and shooting it as normal until the perk runs out of time.
Who threw the solar nade at golgys crit spot 😭
Subscribed for the 100k silver. Stayed for the actually really useful info. Thanks man! I didn't realize I was using lament wrong before this!
btw for swords it's great if you use your heavy attack when you have it, just not on vortex because it consumes so much ammo and the dps is the worst out of all options. better to stick with adaptives or summum bonum
Great Video, thanks
Didn't know that it's better to use lament LLH instead of LLLH (outside atrax of course)
you failed to mention that Crux Termination and Apex Predator both roll with Reconstruction and Bipod, which leads to 4 shots in the magazine (albeit at slightly reduced damage) and Reconstruction can handle the reloading when you swap to a different weapon for DPS... this paired with Gjallarhorn on a teammate means you rapid fire 4 rockets into a bosses face and then can poke the boss with something else like still hunt for some bonker's damage numbers while you wait for your rocket to reload!
and 2 bns or EL rockets is still more fucking damage than 4 bipods.
I knew fashion mattered!!!
Shadow that’s you?! Wow I never thought I’d see the day.
Gold Tusk should have definitely got a special mention when it comes to sword damage! It cooks.
raid sword is better
As a titan main. I'm fine with being support. I'll even run div. That way I can use a sword and be support from the front lines 😁
I will continue to make these mistakes to spite my fireteam.
Throne-Cleaver my Beloved
Thank you
How to damage: Bait & Switch
Thanks for making these videos they're very informative
np! thanks for watching
About swords.
If you can use swords, use Acrius.
I have played crotas end with lfg like 15 times and theres always lament and bequest users who do about 4mil dmg and im chilling with acrius and doing about 6mil dmg. Just saying.
That’s user error. Lament is pretty bad now, but because Crota takes 35% more damage from swords they will handily out damage acrius, especially with how juiced they are via the artifact perks.
My dear titan mains , there a high dmg options for you : first use grand overture with the new chest exo for extremly high and easy burst dmg , also using " no back up plan" gives you a huge dmg boost on shotguns like 4th horseman or legend of acrius while having a void overshield pairing that with either a void subclas or even better using prismatic to give you overshield with shield throw and unbreakable makes it easy to prog . Also on some bosses that are big and on the ground using star eater with glacial quake is a good dmg option to when ur team is ok with that because stasis cristal can easily mess up your team mates but glacial quake is the highest dmg super in the game
Extra Note :Banner shield Like He Said is a realy good Support Option Not only because the DMG boost but the supers time is longer when you protect more Team mates from dmg also the more Team mates are behind your shield the more orbs of Powers will get produced while blocking dmg
dear titans mains, dont listen to a single thing this idiot said.
16:25 so you're telling me that we defeated the Witness because we had the high ground and Obi-Wan'd this shit?
Linears are dogshit rn… use whisper or levi breathe if you want precision damage or if you want easy damage use the heavy trace or grand overture
oh and don’t use lament. it’s worse then heartshadow now
@@rollenfocus2697not now, it has always been worse than heartshadow. The nerf it received changed almost nothing.
What changed is the existence of Wave Sword Frames and Wolfpack rounds on swords, meaning that now there's much more competition between heavy swords and most legendaries can do better than Lament while still being pretty easy to use. Pair it with all the survivability tools we got and the healing from Lament has become obsolete, making the weapon basically useless.
@@themaxpanteraschannel9459Put down a well and you'll be free to use a legendary sword for dps with no worries.
Im new to the game, I've only been using a solar warlock. Does alao having solar weapons matter.
I just learned that ergo can summon wolf pack rounds
When I'm in a being annoyingly meta competition and my opponent is solar (it was originally intended to be the support element):
All you gotta do is Pop super pop transcend, shoot Goldie, shoot sniper x6 swap weapons shoot, swap, shoot, swap, switch loadlouts, get orbs, shoot sniper, apply for mlg, wipe sweat off your forehead, swap weapons, shoot again, do 5 jumping jacks, and repeat. Simple
"Expert" onslaught
I wanna know how that one British dude who didn’t say a word the whole raid hit 9 mil on caretaker
Was the buff golden gun got from kinetic surge taken out?
Yes
I’ve never done a raid before since I don’t have enough people, but I really want to stick with DMT, would that work if I can hit my shots and use other weapons to back it up, or is it just a lost cause that I should keep for regular PvE and PvP?
If you mean using DMT as your main method of Boss DPS, then yes it is a lost cause. If you mean using DMT strictly as your primary weapon, and not as your main method of Boss DPS then it is fine.
I will say that scout rifles are not great in the current PVE sandbox, which doesn't matter much in the strike playlist or seasonal activities but matters quite a bit in raids. DMT for example, does not have great ad clear potential in comparison to Incandescent or Voltshot weapons, the survivability of a Heal Clip or Repulsor Brace weapon, or the utility of a Chill Clip or Slice weapon (these are only examples of meta perks). However, if you aren't dying and are pulling your weight on damage/ad clear, you can use whatever you want. A good raider will constantly keep tabs on their own performance, and understand their weaknesses as a player on top of what playstyles they find fun. If my team keeps wiping and it's because I keep dying, I may run a loadout more focused on my survival than on ad clear.
If you like DMT though, I would recommend checking out the aggressive frame Legendary Scouts, especially the new one Timeworn Wayfarer, it functions like DMT in terms of fire rate, reload, etc. but it can roll Heal Clip/Incandescent, which is kind of the PVE meta for legendary primaries right now.
You really don't wanna be relying on primary weapons for DPS, you need to use heavy for DPS mostly. Doesn't mean you can't still run DMT, you just can't do boss damage with it
@@hellothere-dk4ggI was going to say if he insists on doing dps with a primary I would advise Polaris lance or outbreak perfected
But there’s no point when we have all these better options
linears are dogshit no matter how you see it, the best possible linear with a prefect role, perk swapping and prefect setup does about the same damage as holding left click with microcosm, there is absolutely no reason to *ever* use linears in the current meta.
hot take cellist is the best exotic. here is why i can put it on shoot the boss go invis because why not and change back to my normal exotic right after dps. you change before and after so use presets and well it’s dumb af i swear
Why so many destiny channels, shadow? Why not 1 big one? Like Aztecross? Datto?
I love your videos, I've been playing Destiny again for a month, after a two years break and you definitely helped me understand how the game works now.
If I can just say one thing, please, put a de-esser on your voice ! All the "s" sounds are piercing ! Other than that, thank you again for the great content !
Thanks, I’ll turn the de esser up a bit. It does really depend on what audio device you use though, it sounds fine in most cases
@@ShadowDestiny2 to be honest, I tried on both my laptop speakers and my studio headphones and it's the same on both (slightly better on the headphones of course)!
Ok well thanks and I’ll look into it :)
@@ShadowDestiny2 awesome man! Keep up the amazing content!
I swear Shadow sounds exactly the same as the Duel Logs Yugituber.
shadow sounds nothing like duel logs
So anyway, i grabbed Dragon's Breath and started blastin
Lol, I got the same shader on my Bad Omens 😂
This titan slander is egregious. You can literally use raw dog Void Titan with twilight arsenal, the rocket chest piece and a microcosm to be in the top 3 (if not number one) dps of any standard raid team.
or dont use micro and use still hunt apex and match hunters damage. micro is for idiots that cant aim
Ergo Sum is "Air-go Soom" not "Ur-go some"
it's from Cogito Ergo Sum - I think therefore I am - the "therefore I am" part
nobody fucking asked.
I like this thumbnail better
:)
If it has a health bar it can die
my tarnation with 12 shots works pretty good for me
Forgot that shit existed 💀💀💀
works for doing the least damage :)
No, colony stays on during dps
im a returning player, i have an apex predator with auto loading holster + ambitious asassin, is this worth using ?
It's usable, but without damage perks it's not that good. Ideally you want Reconstruction + Bait & Switch.
Good thing is that you can get Last Wish loot solo every week, and it's not that difficult to do on most classes. There are plenty of videos on yt that show how to do it, find one and try to get either that roll or 5 red borders to craft it with whatever roll you want at the Enclave.
@@themaxpanteraschannel9459 when you say get the loot solo, do you mean just cheese and get chests?
@@outercores if you consider using the Wish Wall to teleport to direct encounters and backtrack to get the secret chests without using bugs/glitches "cheesing" then yeah, I mean exactly that.
Wait until Last wish rolls around as the farmable raid and go farm Kalli till you get the apex pattern.
here is a lil tip for people when using swords, cuz of bungie's spaghetti code cap your FPS to 60 doing so will make all swords way more consistant and will make it so you dont fly though the boss
as someone capped at 60, you still fly through the boss.
@@IvyDoomsday weird, never happends to me or the people that iv played with. Guess it depends what boss aswell, cus crota is just strange in it self and wizards will always be unreliable.
@@deadviking2494 capping fps helps but it doesnt outright stop it because it also has to do with 6 people using swords.
@@IvyDoomsday that is true, I do find that it is more crota that goes a bit weird in the sens of sudenly floating, but I could be wrong, iv not had it happen on the boss in the new raid but if it does then yeah that vould for sure be a problem but then I think it is more so bungie and their bosses and not the swords spesificly again could be wrong im just speaking from my experiance and what others iv played with had told me 😄
Make titans Run that Banner for a few seasons. Warlocks shouldn’t be the only “Support Class”! 😂
Tbh....i have never bern lucky enough to win any give aways....either way i love your content thanks to your videos i have gotten better plaing destiny 2. The way you explain everything iis so accurate and helpful. So i appreciate the fact that you take most of your time to help us get better. Thank you so much btw i love your content please dont ever stop helping us the new light futere guardians even present and past ones❤
Songname?
Still hunt is getting 25% damage nerf when pared with celestial nighthawk so yeah fun time is over -__- yay.
Nah. It’ll still be incredible. It’ll still do as much damage as a goldy super
My brain hurts😢
I definitely want silver but this is an awesome video!
ty
Uhhhh a Guide im going to watch but not using ever in my life because I dont want to do damage
by 1000 it still has 75% damage
So you love swords me too I hate linears
Darci is slept on , the damage is insane
🐐!!
I love you shadow
never thought i could use special finisher just to keep my charge with light buff then swap to surge mods man, +1 sub
ok
Did somone received the 10k silver? Or he just saying giveaway for more subscriptions 😅
They will at 100k! :)
Please stay away from linears if you're able to. If you need precision damage then whisper and leviathan's breath are just better, microcasm is another option that has far better ease of use than linears for situations where whisper and levi aren't good.
Also stay away from raycons, they're complete garbage in terms of audio quality. It's worth saving the extra money to get a more reputable pair from sony, samsung or apple, if you want cheap and wired isn't a dealbreaker then look for wired IEMs, they're so much better quality for the price. $20 can get you a pair of wired IEMs that sound as good or better than $120+ wireless earbuds.
I always use the wired headphones, wireless always has some sort of problem, whether it be connection or audio quality. A lot of them sound tinny, but many wired headphones I've tried sound really good. Crispy clear audio with the highs not being too high, and lows not being too low. Spiky sounds hurts my ears.
Dude sounds like Aegis lol
no tf he doesnt
Microchasm is an absolutely broken combo paired with celestial night hawk and golden gun im surprised no one has discussed or even tryed that yet microchasm is absolutely broken rn and i feel like for some reason when paired woth celestial my golden gun charges INCREDIBLY FAST during boss dmg phase idk why lol 😅
because still hunt is fucking better?
@@IvyDoomsday not really 😂 i do just as much if not more dmg with microchasm stacked ontop of gaining my super faster than w still hunt
@@overkillgaming1424 you dont.
@@IvyDoomsday have you ever even tryed it out?
@@overkillgaming1424 micro is the absolute minimum damage to kill witness. Everything is better than it.
Now that nighthawk will be nerfed my star-eater/foetracer cloak is whispering me
Star eater warlock is better in every way clown
nighthawk still hunt will still be the best dps in the game. so idk unless you got that god tier dps rotation
@@rollenfocus2697 nah check aegis new video star eater nova is literally higher burst by itself now. Well over 1.1 million, only reason hunter is so good is because of still hunt. Without that sniper it’s 100x better to run all locks instead of hunters
@@TargetSniper365 that depends until we see the still hunt nerfs in game, 25 is big but this gun is broken as is even with that nerf as no gun can do what it does to that effect still
@@rollenfocus2697 you just proved my point about hunters. As it is now still hunt is the only reason the class sees play. Warlocks in a super vs super comparison are now higher with star eater nova doing over 400k more than a radiant nighthawk Goldie. And that’s without the seasonal artifact. If you add in expanding abyss the gap is even more. So no we don’t need to wait and see anything, facts are facts now. Hunters had the burst super crown for two years it’s time they were dethroned
After absorbing and analysis the information from the guide, the very single thing you gotta do to optimize dps was to ALWAYS do it with Thunderlord. That's all you need, and they'll hate you for being right.
Microcosm better now
The interaction between wolfpack rounds on Ergo Sum and whirlwind blade was patched recently.
That was relentless strikes, not whirlwind blade.
Vortex frame Wolfpack rounds on ergo sum is my fav sword for crota
I’m expecting 10K silver in my account pretty please 🙏
