Tessellation with Starfire Protocol is kind of cool.

For starters, let it be known that I do not play Vanguard alerts or raids very often, but I thought this build might be cool. (Mid gameplay I know)

So here is the build: Starfire Protocol + Fusion Grenade (you get 2 of them, and they get recharged with Starfire when radiant) + Tessellation built-in Demolitionist. Whenever you get kills, either on the alt-fire mode or regular fusion mode = many grenades.

One thing about Tessellation: the rocket mode not only deals a ton of damage on its own, with the catalyst, it also inflicts 70 Scorch stacks (which count for the recharge of grenades). Combined with Ember of Ashes, it's pretty much a guaranteed ignition (which also helps).

What we need to do is get as much radiant uptime as we can. How? Two ways, actually:

Firstly, on solar subclass: Fragment Ember of Torches. Hit melee, you get radiant — easy as that.

Second, Hunter's Journal: Radiant Orbs. Pick up an orb, we get radiant.

Plus, if we use Ember of Empyrean to extend solar buffs with solar kills, and Ember of Solace = lots of radiant uptime.

But now we need melee energy. How?

Heat Rises: kills while airborne grant chunks of melee energy. I recommend Phoenix Dive for Resto since it's mainly a weapons-and-buffs build.

I use Icarus Dash as a second aspect for extra fragments. Besides what's above, you can use whatever you want.

As for stats: get Weapons as high as possible, then focus on melee, and then grenade.

Instantly Kill -50 Barrier Champion with 1-Tap from Erianas!

So Bungie buffed Eriana's Vow in the final update and it now gets the full 450% Lucky Pants damage bonus at x10 stacks, but that's not even the crazy part. The ignition damage on breaking a shield with Eriana's also scales with Lucky Pants, along with other damage buffs like Radiant and Weaken. With just Lucky Pants (+450%), Radiant (+20% + an extra 10% against Champions), and 15% Weaken, the ignition is dealing around 8.35x the base ignition damage from Eriana's. With Tether's 35% weaken, that goes up to almost 9.8x.

The loop is simple: build x10 Lucky Pants with Unloved, wait for the Barrier Champion to put up its shield, swap to Eriana's, and one shot is enough to instantly kill it. You can push the ignition damage even further with Facet of Courage and various artifact mods, but honestly, there's no need. Even without those extra buffs, the ignition already hits hard enough to instantly delete a -50 Barrier Champion.

Why am I building super so slowly, the video I got this build from could get it every ~15 seconds

I have 140 super and 3 super font mods on my helmet, I'm not using the armor sets the video recommended but I don't think either of them have anything to do with super.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm very new to the game

Best aspect for crackshot spam/galanor swap?

So i've been using on your mark as my 2nd aspect for speedloader crackshot spam with 150 weapons so it gets boosted to 200 with on your mark however i'm not sure if i should swap it to knock em down instead to get full damage on galanor when i swap but lose out on the 5th fragment slot and some weapon stat. If i use on your mark for both loadouts then i lose some damage from BB.

Praxis Vestment Theorycrafting Help

Trying to make a Praxis Vestment build that really leverages everything about the exotic. With the buffs, it deals a respectable amount of damage.

So far I have been trying to leverage prismatic to freeze enemies to leverage the freeze break damage multiplier with the Slayer Baron artifact blinding arc damage boost and arc damage boost on stasis affected targets.

Having a bit difficulty getting a reliable survivability. I am able to get some consistent but not consistently maxed frost armor, and the small amplified DR. The curative orbs give some healing. Not sure what the most reliable source of frost armor is, as I have tried the Corpsebloom and Frost Armor perks on weapons but feels like it may be slightly unreliable if enemies are extremely tanky.

Any interesting mechanics I can incorporate into arc/stasis melee builds that people are aware of?

Should I ever swap aspects in a prismatic warlock buddy build?

I've been running my warlock with feed the void and weaver's call along with this artifact to boost my threadling generation and damage. Is this better than Helion and the Stasis turret? Is there any case where this build would just be better with other aspects?

Warlock version of Ammo Man, two flavors

I saw that post about double ammo gen armor set bonuses and thought it was neat, so I wondered if I could figure out a way to make even more, almost excessive amounts of ammo, and after trying exactly one build, decided it was good enough to share.

If you aren't familiar and didn't see the other post, Oryx's Memory grants increased ammo meter progress on powerful enemy kills, Crystocrene spawns an Orb and grants ammo meter progress for kills every 12 seconds, combining for a lot of ammo generation.

This Warlock version uses Cenotaph Mask, which makes Heavy for allies and Special for me, so I can run Heavy Finder and Special Scout to make Heavy for me and Special for allies. Empowering Rift is also on because it increases ammo gen while you're standing in it.

Subclass configuration is mostly to geared towards debuff application because I'm trying to be a helpful fella here today.

On Wavesplitter I go for an ammo gen mod on the chestpiece too, to push the ammo gen to 100 on the Splitter, and go for Bricks from Beyond for even more ammo. It might not be necessary but NPA does carry a lot of other Void support too, which is nice. That said, I love Harsh Refraction and Tablet of Ruin would work great here too. Attrition Orbs + Siphon also generates an alarming amount of Orbs just from holding down M1 and walking at enemies with Wavesplitter.

On Microcosm, Kinetic Synthesis benefits the Trace and Threat Level with All-Star, and you get the benefits of Facet of Grace to farm Transcendence with all the Kinetic damage going out, and deals somewhat passable damage to bosses in those activities.

You could swap Artifacts and run Prometheus Lens (which has 100 base ammo gen) for more Solar emphasis, I just like Wavesplitter and its really good.

With a Scavenger on, I generate way, WAY more ammo than I could ever use and pull off really solid ad clear for a build that started mostly as a joke for me.

Blade barrage, shards and 1K. What else to finish off the build?

looking for ideas for a boss dps + ad clear.

solar workhorse weapon to double up on scorch and ignitions that I’d spec into for 1k damage. started farming for the solar rocket pulse and like it so far with heal clip and incandescent. paired up with a seventh serath HC with explo rounds and shoot to loot for ammo economy.

what other ideas do yall have?

any other ideas for solar weapons? was using a vex and hezen prior to this build but i like trying new builds to see what’s more fluid with my playstyle.

im on mnk if that changes anything (looking at you sidearms).

got a juicy set of vog gear but open to other ideas, like the kings fall for ammo gen.

Needing advice/ help with dawn chorus warlock.

I’ve seen posts and videos about dawn chorus warlock builds being some of the best in the game. I have this put together and have tried some different weapons, fusion rifle, sunshot, ringing nail with incan/ firefly.. It just ain’t poppin off for me. Mainly running master and grandmaster content. It’s possible I am just playing the build wrong. Or have yet to find the best weapons. Not sure. Luminopotent geomag feels miles ahead in terms of crowd control and general damage. I gotta be doing something wrong. Any advice is much appreciated.

Best weapons to utilize CODA 4 piece set?

Besides Monte Carlo as it takes up an exotic slot, what are the best weapons to utilize the 4 piece CODA set for prismatic consecration Titan??

Right now, I have Perfect Paradox with one-two punch and pugilist as well as an arc auto rifle from Vesper’s Host. My heavy weapon takes up the exotic slot. Anyways, I’d like to hear your thoughts.

Edit: I forgot to add that this is for more of a solo endgame build.
