    In this video, we cover the top 5 PVE exotics for each class in Destiny 2! The Destiny 2 sandbox is always evolving, which means the best in slot exotics can change season over season. With recent buffs and nerfs to several popular exotics over the past six months, it felt like a good time to review the endgame PVE sandbox in Destiny. This video will help you narrow down the most powerful exotics in Destiny 2 as we head towards the Final Shape. Hope you enjoy the video!

    It's very hard to pin down top 5 exotics for each class, but I think you've managed, very good video! If I may suggest anything, I think Nezarec's Sin deserves more recognition. It only requires a use of void damage and in return showers you with energy regen to all your abilites, which I think makes it a very good neutral choice.

      @@Eric_The_Cleric If we're just talking about nezzies vs other Warlock exotics then it's just as bad. On void contraverse is just simply better by a long shot. And on all other classes except maybe strand (for now) running Nezzies actively nerfs a build compared to using a subclass specific exotic.
      Nezzies isn't bad, but it certainly isn't underappreciated. I think it's appreciated the right amount.

    The Restoration x2 loop with Sunbracers also makes it even better. Eat a grenade, get heat rises, melee ability into a dive and you have Resto x2. Continue getting solar kills with the right Fragment, and you have infinite Restoration.

    Pretty good list imo 😎
    The only two I would have in my top 5 that aren’t in the list are renewal grasps for Hunter and Point Contact Cannon Braces for Titan.
    Renewal grasps just unlocks so much potential with stasis hunters where you basically cannot die and have a huge slow field nade ready to go.
    And PCCB are so busted I use them above heart of Inmost light on my arc titan now… your thunderclap kills and jolts everything around you, if you charge it up it can take care of bigger enemies and you get the melee back near instantly if you tag enough enemies which isn’t hard with it. Would highly suggest giving them a go for anyone that hasn’t tried them since they were buffed last season 👌

      @Eric_The_Cleric 7 місяців тому

      What? 3 of the 5 exotics chosen for Warlock do stuff for the Warlock specifically, not to boost the team. Contraverse is the only one that can be argued as being useful for others of those 3 since debuffs are somewhat useful in general. Sunbracers doesn't play well on a team and he mentions that fact in the video. I mean, sure, its raw ad clear and damage potential can be good for a team but it's not a team based exotic. You find that out quickly when you try to use it in lower tier content. Things die way too fast for Sunbracers to be as good as possible, and your team's fighting with you for kills for their kit. Falling Sunstar is just a high ability up time exotic and is also not a great team player. It just so happens that the Warlock constantly being able to give Arc buddies by setting down the rift they will always have up is useful, but that's not exotic-specific.

All classes are team-based with plenty of team-based exotics. Sounds like you're cherrypicking just to be mad. Plus this dude isn't even correct, 3 out of the 5 Warlock exotics chosen for this list help the Warlock out specifically, and the team-based aspects are non-existent, not specifically intended, or are a part of the Warlock's kit and aren't exotic-specific. If you're mad that people keep asking you to throw on Wellock just say it. You don't have to spam nonsense that Warlocks are all team-buffing exclusively just to be mad at their kit and exotics. Or, I dunno, play another class? They're all so different I'm sure your playstyle can work with something.

    I've been using a Fallen Sunstar build since last season and I'm pretty sure my arc-centered kills have shot up several tens of thousands. When it really gets going, my abilities have only seconds of cool downs, and I'm an ad-clearing menace to society. It is easily one of the best exotics to drop lately and has made me love Warlock's arc class even more. My Ikelos SMG went from around 3k~ kills to about 20k. VERY fun and very reliable build for all kinds of content.

    I think you should try Shinobu’s Vow on Hunter. It’s very strong and is one of my go-to’s for high tier endgame. For titan, Point Contact Cannon Brace is very strong up to Master, and Second Chance is my favorite Void exotic out of all three classes for any activity. On Warlock, I think I enjoy Dawn Chorus more over anything else, granted, I don’t have a good pair of Necrotic Grips yet.

      @gamingoverlord8854 7 місяців тому

      I'm experimenting with Necrotics on Solar with thorn. While not nearly as crazy as Sunbracers, it still has a million melees going out constantly (heat rises). Good uptime on Radiant (constant melees). Resto x2 whenever needed (built it with very fast class ability regen, faster class regen when scorching). Really fast supers, as well as not being nearly as janky as sunbracer's are, it plays consistently and smoothly. When (maybe if lol) the Final Shape comes out the new solar super will be a slightly better sunbracers, and pared with necrotic, the melee will be amazing.
      People are sleeping on Thorn (pre-Season of the Wish) right now. The hand cannon buff really helped it. It hits like a truck because it's a handcannon. Not as much dps as Hawkmoon, Malfeasance, or any lucky pants build, but it does place right below those. Paired with Necrotic, it does great damage and great ad clear. Never pull out my specials really.

    The Hunter exotic that never gets enough credit is Sixth Coyote. Think of any ability/aspect/fragment or class ability activated by dodging. Now double that.

Arc/Solar/Stasis builds can get you an infinite melee/dodge recharge loop, and Strand gets you eternal suspension.

    In my personal experience liars handshake is parallel if not stronger then AC, it allows healing while damaging. Yea the arc melee alone is powerful but if you don’t secure that first kill you don’t go invisible and if you’re up against a tanky enemy you’re probably dead. Also you didn’t mention lorely splendor, I would consider that a pretty good exotic for survivabilty it’s not gonna match those other ones damage wise but I find it to match the description of heart of inmost light as all my abilities almost immediately come back after I use them.

    • @buckledwheat6299
      @buckledwheat6299 8 місяців тому +1

      Liars handshake just losses out In functionality in endgame content since you need survivability. While AC lets you solo GMs in under 10 mins.
      Reason why he didn’t mention Lorely is because it just isn’t good anymore. The best defense is offense in this game, getting a kill and making a sunspot will do the same job as Lorely, while allowing you to kill tougher enemies quickly. It’s why solar titans best exotic paring is synthoceps, then pyrogale for bosses.

    Lucky Pants definitely beat out Foetracer for me, especially when paired with Malfeasance or Warden's Law. The other day I ran a Revenant LP build with a 4th Times/Vorpal Warden's Law on a Master Lost Sector 30 levels under with no Stasis surge or surge mods equipped, and I was able to freeze and then kill Overload and Unstoppable champions in one magazine of hand cannon ammo if I landed all crits. Lucky Pants + Warden's Law + Duskfield with Whisper of Rending can lock down and melt any champion in the game.

    I personally vouch for crown over sunstar any day~ Outside of team play, which crown doesn't have, it's the better choice for constant ability spam, including super! People heavely sleep on crown, and forget that crown gets a lot of benefit out of traces too.
    Personal taste I suppose! Also while niche, I love using lumina and assembler together, allows for constant 35% buff to your team, even mid dps! Very slept on.

  • @arakemi1080
    @arakemi1080 7 місяців тому

    i have a small gripe with sunbracers, even though it was my favorite for like, my entire time playing the game since chosen.
    now if ONE player has sunbracers and does all the ad clear but doesn't have ammo spawning mods, he is basically not making any ammo for anyone and is just wasting potential ammo gains just to clear the room quicker, which i need to remind people, that its bad.
    like sunbracers wasn't good because it had unlimited grenades, but because all you had to do is get a charged melee kill to get it going, but now? melee scorch FB is needed to start the thing which is Pretty annoying at times, and makes it so the gaunts don't activate half the time, especially when you NEED THEM to activate.
    which is why, i went from well-lock (basically the only subclass worth playing anymore with how USELESS everything else on warlock is), to titan and hunter mixed play, because hunters look good when you add actual color to them and not just vanta black, and because titans have the same ability regen as warlocks, but their exotics aren't situational and have their place.

    I mostly play hunter so I cannot judge your rankings there (though they seem rather accurate). I think you should have replaced Foetracer with the new un-nerfed Renewal Grasps. I personally dislike them for being somewhat boring but they are undoubtedly really good with all that damage resist.
    If I could buff 1 exotic in the game it'd 100% be Arthrys's Embrace. One of the most fun exotics but it is really held back by being somewhat difficult to use and the massive damage increase not working against bosses (I have 300k throwing knives and a dream).

    Respectfully, I disagree with you on Omnioculus. It brings some of the best survivability for Hunters, imo, along with an engaging gameplay loop. I don’t do too many things in end game due to having no friends, but when I do, I always pick up Omni. Safe and you can still do a lot of damage with the right weapon loadout.

  • @Half-lifegunnar
    @Half-lifegunnar 8 місяців тому +11

    Id say omnis and Orpheus rigs are better than gyr for high end content. It's better to have 2 on demand invis with a push of a button over kill requirements. Omni give resistance while invis which has saved multiple gm runs. My Orpheus rigs setup allows me to make loads of orbs and constantly weaken for 30% in gms, most of the time having another ready before the first is gone

    • @Sorastae
      @Sorastae 8 місяців тому +3

      If the Hunter knows what they're doing - absolutely not. Gyr is far, far better than both. I ran it for my day 1 clear of Crota challenge mode and for every single GM I've cleared since the introduction of it. And with the right mod setup, it rivals Orpheus rigs' tethers + if you're good at Hunter then you'd know you can extend the tether's debuff without having an anchor point on the ground and instead using weaken nades to extend the duration with the right timing.
      But I guess if you need to dummy proof everything and play with people who need handholding, then omni is better. :)
