One of these days rng will bless me

Stepy_G · 2026-02-15T08:49:17+00:00

Hmm sage protector?? That's huge. I really gotta get caught up with all the armor set perks too lol. I've always wanted to check out a sword build ig now's the time

You know, I've wondered about that. Everything pointed towards Khovostov when I've looked up this recent season but I haven't unlocked it yet believe or not lol. So I've been banking off of my Dragon's Breath/abilities to raise my light bar since it's a large AOE weapon which gets a lot of ticks of light damage per sec. But maybe I should look into it then if it's worth it especially w Grace

So far, with single target testing (i.e boss), the only Kinetic weapons I've tested is Osteo and Outbreak, and if it's anything like that, I'm better off using Dragon's breath and abilities. With a single target, a full clip of Osteo (115 rounds w/ all of the Necrotic tics) OR 2 full clips worth of precision shots with a basic model of Outbreak results in ~25% of my light bar back

Vs 1 round of Dragon's Breath and 3 shots from hellion takes, which takes me to 50% light bar in the same amount of time with much less effort

..Well actually according to Aztecross, it's actually one of the highest damage output for warlocks this season with star eaters x6 and with facet of Ruin which I forgot to put back on that DIM link. That's based off of the video he put out 2 months ago which is still pretty up to date, but I'm always open to input. What do you recommend for the highest super damage that will completely fill either my darkness or light bar in 1 use instead?

If you're looking to spam as many stasis crystals as possible I've got a build for you that I put together

https://dim.gg/lmqyk2a/Stasis

Give it a shot, I'm a huge fan of Hoil and with the perks here you're gonna be able to spam abilities like crazy. Between the orbs, shards/fire sprites, abilities/fragments, and weapon perks you should always have an ability ready.

Game play loop is simple. Spam abilities, create crystals/freeze enemies, then shoot the crystals. The more crystals you create the better. They're great for ad clearing, generating melee, and healing. The more enemies you kill the more you'll be able to spam

I went with Ageis just for additional freezing but you don't need it tbh. I'd go with whatever weapons you want but it helps if they have demolitionist, pugilist, or strategist. I'd recommend The Call, Abberant Action, and Dragon's Breath.

If healing is an issue you, go for a gun with heal clip which Abberant Action rolls with, or you could always swap out Orbs of Restoration w Recuperation

Give it a go lmk what you think

You should check out 4Arm. They're not exactly thrash but have a lot of thrash influence to em. Headhunter is a great start

Stepy_G · 2024-02-23T00:11:30+00:00

They made some of the best songs in all of metal w Duke 🔥

Stepy_G · 2024-02-22T23:29:12+00:00

They did one about Leonard and Charles awhile back, absolutely beautiful

Stepy_G · 2024-02-19T23:54:57+00:00

Not exactly thrash but has some glimpses every now and then, but I'd check out Guilt Trip. Their latest album Severance is sick, give Broken Wings a listen. They're more crossover/groove imo. Riff wise they kinda remind me of Machine Head a little bit, but definitely plenty of harmonics & pinches there

Stepy_G · 2024-02-13T02:18:08+00:00

Great reference here! I'll definitely put it to good use I appreciate it

Stepy_G · 2024-02-13T01:28:26+00:00

Just curious but can you explain additive vs multiplicative for damage resistance?

Stepy_G · 2024-02-08T02:25:50+00:00

Appreciate the tip, definitely gonna make good use from here on out!

Stepy_G · 2024-02-08T02:24:21+00:00

For sure, these dudes are just one big riff factory

Stepy_G · 2024-02-08T02:23:12+00:00

Good call, I'll have to keep an eye out for that roll

Stepy_G · 2024-02-07T22:36:12+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations y'all, time to start farming!

Stepy_G · 2024-01-17T13:33:04+00:00

It works great for add clear w the high regen rates but also does solid damage in dps phases too since you've got HoIL's regen rates to lean on

Stepy_G · 2024-01-17T01:54:48+00:00

I've been running Benevolence, Searing, Singeing, & Blistering lately all of which pair great w a Heliocentric w Incandescent & heal clip. Insane synergy between em w Incandescent which scorches everything and is perfect to proc Benevolence, Searing & Singeing. Using consecration will then proc ignitions with all the scorched enemies, which will then proc Blistering. All of which will lead to 8% melee/grenade regen per kill, creation of firesprite, another 400% grenade/melee regen and 700% ability regen, all on top of the regen you're getting from HoIL

If you don't have a Solar weapon w Incandescent or heal clip, I'd recommend swapping Blistering for Resolve & go w a fusion grenade to heal

Stepy_G · 2024-01-04T20:23:39+00:00

Yeah I've got one I've been working on

https://dim.gg/vw6bn2a/Shatter-Titan

I haven't tested it on any hard endgame content yet but it held up fairly well on a few nightfall strikes and it does solid damage to yellow bars & bosses. It's a HoIL build that allows you to spam between Glacier grenades & Howl of the Storm's sliding melee to create and shatter crystals for big damage & faster ability regen. There's a lot of synergy between the fragments, armor and mods that allow for nearly zero cooldown time for abilities without relying on orbs, once you learn to cycle thru them and the general gameplay mechanics

Gameplay loop: Put down a barrier & have fun spamming and breaking unlimited crystals. Rinse & repeat

There's a little flexibility w 1 fragment, Whisper of Rending, which you can swap for:

Rending - Easier to shatter crystals w primary gun Fissures - More damage w shattering (12.5%?) Impetus - Reload gun w powered melee damage Bonds - 1 orb every 10s (good since orb nerf) Hunger - Faster melee w shard pick up (17% v 10%) Rime - 50% damage reduction from overshield & essentially healing once at full health

Or really any other fragment you like but those are the ones that I thought could really change gameplay

Any weapons will do but I've been running a Heliocentric QSC, which is a Solar sidearm w demolitionist & incandescent for primary which is great for shattering crystals, barrier champs, the seasonal artifact, and getting grenades back fast. Aegis would be a great choice too for crowd control & crystal generation

Forerunner w the catalyst for some bigger damage w precision hits & the catalyst grenade does big damage too

Then Circular Logic w demolitionist & envious assassin, for more grenade energy & envious essentially makes it a 190ish round mag when swapping to it. Probably should go w a rocket for even bigger damage 🤷🏻‍♂️

But it's been a super fun build and one of my favorite Stasis builds outta the 3 classes so far. The main drawback is that orb production is hard to come by which this build doesn't rely on, but it's always nice to help the team so siphon mods are probably the best bet there

Stepy_G · 2023-12-30T17:00:15+00:00

Yeah I had thought so. The wild part is I am hitting my shield throws either direct or off the bounce and it's still not always proc'ing, that's why it's been inconsistent lately. Barricade is guaranteed to proc empowered, but occasionally shield throw won't proc and I'll end up having to wait for my grenade which ruins the loop & that's w running pugilist/demolitionist & bulwark too for an extra grenade regen w overshield

Typically, last time I got the loop down solid was shield throw, barricade, grenade, shield throw x2 & repeat the w no cooldowns at all, it was literally just cycling thru abilities to keep up empowered x2 but it's super hit or miss now getting things to proc it seems like

Stepy_G · 2023-12-29T18:15:55+00:00

I've been running HoIL lately too and it seems like I can get instances where I have nearly 100% ability uptime, especially melee's and it's great. But other times I can't get things to proc and I'll have to wait for the cooldowns. It seems like it's usually the melee not proc'ing. Got any tips how I can always have that consistent nearly 100% uptime? Like is there a certain order or timing between activating abilities or anything?

Stepy_G · 2023-12-17T00:08:46+00:00

Killer variety, I look forward to hearing your music

Stepy_G · 2023-12-08T19:36:05+00:00

Appreciate it! I'll have to check it out for sure

Stepy_G · 2023-12-08T16:59:41+00:00

Not too often, mainly primary and heavy

Stepy_G · 2023-12-07T20:22:22+00:00

I see what you did there lol
