This is the most fun build I've ever used! The only change I made is using spark of amplitude instead of spark of focus having extra orbs for healing is nice for higher tier content 🤙 great build tho bro!!
@@aaronyeager6778 i’ve always wanted a follow up to ascension like trappers ambush that drops you back downwards. Staying so high in the air for so long is really dangerous in high level content. New build to grind for 👍🏻👍🏻
I've actually been running a similar build of this but without Utility Kickstart, and instead Spark of Focus, I've been running Spark of Amplitude because of the insane orb generation on this build with Arc and Kinetic weapons alone while amplified, in fact, even after casting my super, with the amount of orbs I've been generating with this build, my super is back really fast. For heavy weapon, I've gone for a Crux Termination with Reconstruction and Explosive Light and the damage is insane.
Really great to have you back! The community just isn't the same without you. I hope all is well and just wanna say a sincere thank you for unbelievable content. I'm a hunter main and I'm absolutely in love with this arc ascension build and you made it a million times better! Sick stuff covered here
This is the first hunter build I ever used. It did indeed make me a hunter main, and I have never had this much fun in Destiny since this V2 version released
@@Derperific it’s real good fun. Especially on prismatic with helions going as well. Make sure you keep volatile rounds up with grenade kills and its constant fireworks!
Question, because this has come up before; Flow State. What makes Flow State necessary at all here, considering refreshing the amplified buff can already happen on the Ascension cooldown alone, not counting any outside affecting effect (artifact perks, fragments, etc). The majority of the pull to base arc here I will say is the Spark of Beacons, as that's helpful for higher tier content, but this could probably fit a little better on prismatic, considering the primary pull here is Ascension and Spark of Resistance (which we have on prismatic). This also would help the build remain useful after this artifact's bonuses expire soon, but give a bit more variety to gameplay; as per the melee and grenade issues where "I just threw it on because". Good build, I think this fits prismatic a bit better though.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, Utility Kickstart is completely meaningless on this build, despite what Rest mentions. You get your class energy back fast enough to spam Ascension without it. You don't even have to take my word for it, just pay attention to this video, watch for when he doesn't have Armor Charge active and he still get the class energy back in less than 10 seconds. Run Font of Restoration or Argent Blade. Gifted Conviction has been my second most used build since I got the Exotic. And, I have always found running it on Arc to be better than Prismatic. What I haven't touched is my Arc Conductor Ergo Sum because I've only gotten 5 Aggressive Frame rolls and everyone was saying Wave Frame is the only worthwhile frame. SO, I'm definitely going to be giving this set up a try now and I'm very much looking forward to it :D
Great build. After the season is over, it might be best to move to a special finisher setup so that way you can maintain ergo ammo without the artifact mod.
Ive tried lots of builds with my hunter this season and so far this is the only one that I really like. I can actually stay alive through a whole strike lol and i'm now getting more kills then the people i'm running with. I don't have 100 discipline but I do have 80 something mobility to get my class ability back faster and 100 res to.
Just tried this build and despite not having an aggressive arc conductor ergo (I ran stormbringer with the recommended perks) and it worked just fine since I too, have deleted several arc conductor ergos so stormbringer had to do. You loose out on the 5 sec jolting of ads but you gain ridiculous power with the lightning strikes. I am also curious if the utility kickstart is actually helping since ascension is not class ability mod friendly, I will test further after I get some rest lol. Despite the "meta", this build works great with the arc subclass as flow state and spark of recharge really get the class ability back very quick and for me, that was with only one utility kickstart. I want to try it with the arc conductor version and compare it to stormbringer. I also prefer gathering storm alot more that the new super due to it's ability to be utilized at any distance, but I am going to do a prismatic version to compare as well. Good stuff overall!
@jayhenry8573 So for the current season, this build is a monster. If you want sheer damage and destruction, use the aggressive frame stormbringer as I did several months ago. Now if you HAVE an aggressive frame arc conductor ergo, then 100% use that...especially with this current seasons artifact mods as they take this build to another level. Even without the artifact, with the recommended frame ergo, this thing rocks! Now, utility kickstart will NOT work with ascension (I'm sure that's common knowledge by now, but for new lights or those those just don't know, that's what it is) so using it with your normal dodge is the way to go, then use your ascension as with the amount of class ability you will generate, you will have little to no down time. Throw on an anti barrier scout with osmosis or if you are feeling titan' ish, a shotty for the anti barriers, then either a grenade launcher paired with the unstoppable champ artifact mod and you are squared away with all Champs as ascension alone will handle the overloads. Your abilities will also handle the over and unstop champs, so you can use the build with no worries outside of special ammo economy. Hope this helps!
I’ve been running this with a Strategist+JF Pyroelectric Propellant, and I’ve always had a problem with wanting to come back to the ground so I’m not a free target in the air. Never thought about using Ergo Sum like this. Genius. My question now is would this hold up in a GM? I think I’d rather use guns for the range in a GM.
I love this build. Been using it in GMs and using arc weapons like indebted, symmetry, and thunderord. I have an aggressive arc conductor ergo that I'll try though
I think utility kickstart is basically meaningless. At worst, at 50 mobility it takes a maximum of 7 seconds to get the class ability back. Yeah, I’ve checked. Add to that you will most likely get an orb and an iconic trace and you’re down at about 5 seconds. Start running, even shorter. And I have a feeling that bolstering detonation procs from the grenades that is dropped from the exotic chest piece. I cant confirm it but if you ascend and get a few kills with the grenades (and not the ascension) the class ability seems to jump up 20-30%. Also try the wave frame, it also works great. The Heavy attack sends you up in the air a bit and you can ascend mid air!!!
If they brought back loadout swapping i'd be doing this for add clear, but cz u loose everything when you swap loadout it just ruins the pace when a tormentor or non-overload champ or miniboss appears
Im about 99% sure arc scavenger does not affect the ergo sum, i tried to test it a bunch a few weeks ago and just kept getting 7 ammo from normal green bricks
But this isn’t ideal in the Pale Heart areas, right? Don’t you need to activate the prismatic feature often to get rid of the pink aura mobs’ shields?? Or is there another way around that for this build?
Does the slam do more damage than a caster? I have both and really like the caster for the range attack...the slam didn't seem to do much damage when I tried it, but maybe I'll give it another try.
Stupidly deleted my aggressive arc conductor ergo a few days ago because i prefer the wave frame, but think i can still make this work i just have to start with my sword heavy rather than finish with it 🤔
I dont see the benefit of running it on arc instead of prismatic. Your class ability regen? Facet of hope gives you exactly same benefit plus with prismatic you can use transcendence to get even more damage and dzmage résistance. You also just do more damage in general thru having radiant. You can also stack even lire damage resistance by using facet of proctection for oversheilds or wolven mail. It seems the only thing arc has is the abilitiy to blind enemies which is kinda pointless when you have near 90% damage résistance plus and healing plus the ability to just be invisible the whole tile with sytlish. You guys do you but i just cant see a single benefit arc has worth giving up all prismatic can do.
What weapons are you running? I haven’t played in a bit but was running the build in prismatic like you are saying… I don’t have risk runner sword he using… my prismatic build of this I think I was using the ikelos smg
@@BB-xn1rw if your not using ergo sum any arc weapon that jolts, I was using indebted kindness before I got a caster frame arc conducter ergo sum. The aggressive frame does look useful though à down side is the agressive frame gas no range. The caster frame has more versatility. Gonna give the agressive frame à try though.
@@loreseeker6604 I have done my own A/B testing, and Facet of Hope PALES in comparison to Flow State. The only thing Prismatic has over Arc is GPG, which is a pretty good argument, but I don't find myself needing it.
@@failfurby flow state does regen faster indeed, but pales? Not really difference is 5 seconds from my testing with mods that difference disappears so not really sure how thats much of a selling point. you can achève effect as flow state thru adding one mod, then you have the benefit plus the extras prismatic offers so yeah....only thing arc has is blind, which is good dont get me wrong just dont think its better than transcendence, 25% more damage, extra DR from protection when transcendent, invisibility etc.
Prismatic/strand super/grapple/smokebomb .... to long to explain why just use keep same weapons if you want but i prefer goldtusk chain reaction and Lrefund , tailor mods according definitely want recoup
Defo using this. I just wish Bungie would let us save a specific artifact setup to our specific loadouts
This is the most fun build I've ever used! The only change I made is using spark of amplitude instead of spark of focus having extra orbs for healing is nice for higher tier content 🤙 great build tho bro!!

was so exited to make this build but i saw it too late and artifact perks are gone
Spirit of coyote works so awesome with this. There is a glitch too where ascension activates ergo sum perks
I have been running this build for a bit. I’ve been blasting out Bury the Light and yelling helm breaker everytime.
Great build. After the season is over, it might be best to move to a special finisher setup so that way you can maintain ergo ammo without the artifact mod.
Really cool and I’m gonna try this once I get the sword. I’m currently using gifted conviction with tempest strike

@asgard2525 yea.. unfortunately hunters this season only got combinationblow or thr class item which is hell to get on hunter
80 mobility is overkill when amplified gives 50 mobility :)

will this hold its own in lets say expert lost sectors flawless? cause my 1-2 punch combination blow hunter build does.
Omfg. I'm making a hunter, I've only ever played titan but golly!
I made a similari build like this on primatic. I feel like its better on pris vs regular arc
FUNNNNNNNN build !!!! TY
I cant get my hunter to slam down do i have to have an aggressive with a certain perk i have storm bringer
Yikes i wont get that sword,how die you getmthe sword??
Yeah but.... how does it hold up in GM? Vids or it didn't happen.
What is the armor?
Does powerful attraction work with Ascension?
@zhaytolles9849 No, just tried it. You will have to use it in between attacks to pick up orbs.
how you can get the ground slam after you get in the air ?
Powered heavy attack with the aggressive frame sword.
What about using buried bloodline to get devour first, and use your grenade to spread jolt. With devour you can get grenade pretty fast too
This build only works with AD dense solo activities....
So it’s an ult bunny build
