Not mentioning Karensteins is criminal lol. I get why it might not make the top 10 but it deserves an honorable mention at least. Did my solo Warlord's with it ez. And yes, Sunbracers can provide very comparable survivability but if you mess up your sunbracers loop at all then you're kinda screwed until your melee comes off cooldown.
I run karnsteins once a week to solo VoG entrance for 30 free spoils but you have to admit that even if you vouch for karnsteins ease of use the same thing can be done with ember of empyrean + healing grenade. If that’s still not easy enough add ember of benevolence and/or verity’s brow for even more grenade regen and you have to throw to die Edit: okay well I guess that does assume you’re on solar so you can run karnsteins on a different subclass to be fair and that argument above is kinda null
@@ccjjrr9478the issue is that u can have infinite resto x2 at any time on solar lock, for higher end players there’s literally no point in using karnsteins, theyre a good exotic, but in the same way that loreley is
Karnstein armlet underrated. Allows you to gain restoration x1 and x2 on any subclass plus with max timer from 1 kill it also makes glaive gameplay fun going around poking extended the timer with each glaive kill
@@chrisbarnesbarnes8332 I'd rather exotics that make stuff dead faster than exotics that keep me from dying. The bad guys can't hurt you if they are dead. Making extra restoration irrelevant. Especially when. Warlocks already have so many other ways to keep themselves alive with little effort
@@arnifenrenso2940 yeah but triple dynamo lets you use other things the sunbracers have been the go to since starfire can’t complain about well use all the time when 90% of warlock gameplay is that and sun bracers right now
Quite a few of my favorites are mentioned here (briar binds, necrotic, osiomancy, cenotaph, swarmers.) But one of my favs is karnstien armlets. It gives you a ton of sustain, and on elements with no base sustain like arc or stasis it helps a ton. I used to pair it with winterbite and i was unkillable and constantly doing a lot of damage with melees. Im honestly keeping an eye out for the stasis changes to see if i go back to that, or keep winterbite on my wormgod caress strand titan.
pretty good list other than swarmers. this would be my list #1 Cenotaph #2 Sunbracers #3 Phoenix Protocol #4 Karnstein Armlets #5 Rain of Fire #6 Vesper of Radius #7 Briarbinds #8 Necrotic Grip #9 Mantle of Battle Harmony #10 Transversive Steps
My personal favourites are briarbinds, osmiomancy and the stag. That last one may seem a little weird, but trust me: the DR would be pretty useful by itself, but the insane amount of rift regen will give you nearly constant rift uptime in any content where you’d need a rift to be up consistently, with the added bonus of being able to spam the hell out of effects which trigger off your rift. Also, hot tip for osmiomancy: it isn’t just a second bleak watcher. If you know your combatant tiers, it won’t be hard to predict whether throwing a cold snap into a group will give you more than 100% return to your grenade charge, so if you can familiarise yourself with that aspect of the exotic you’ll have significantly more turrets out than someone just relying on other forms of grenade regen.
I can't believe that Vesper of Radius didn't make the list. It is such an underrated exotic and one that should be shown more love....especially over Geomags.
@@etzrahthey’re still literally amazing. It’s like saying Assasins cowl isn’t good bc you can use Liars Handshake and do a little bit more damage. Specking into melee warlock or glaive builds with it is absolutely insane. It’s literally a slightly weaker sunbracers with slightly easier on demand resto
You don't need restore when you are killing everything faster than you are dying. Therefore any exotic that achieves that is already better. My fellow ff14 players know, DPS is the same as mitigating future damage :)
It requires you to play up close as being surrounded is the whole idea. Another feature is that they arc blind unstops but if you were to mess it up, the unstop will 1 shot you. It's an aggro play style where you don't just stay a fair distance away and plink at targets.
really good list tbh i would just take geomags off and put rain of fire in number 3 or 4 but I am very happy to see someone else appreciates verity's, its my favorite exotic and people just don't get how good it is
Fel winter is my favourite. Finishers are custom animations that i like to see. Chaining finishers also saves on ammo and provides a ton of other benefits if on void subclass and with a couple mods building into finishers. People think this exotic (and aeverance) are about the melee but finishers are where its at. And it looks cool with cool lore. Ty for vid didnt know geomags had thst buff to gain more super energy. Arc and void are my fave warlock subclasses
Glad to see my wrist rockets at the top. I've been saying for over a year now that they were the best 'lock exotics, even when everyone was nuts over the Starfire. I still love Nez's Sin and Crown of Tempests too.
No one said they were bad, it's just starfire was just way too good that it wasn't any comparison because the hoops you had to pass for starfire were infinitely easier than sunbracers especially with starfires primary use being boss dps and GM's where if you wanted to swap sunbracers for either of those, it becomes very difficult to match the conditions.
Mantle of battle harmony is really good Gives super energy really fast if you use another source of getting super energy like the pale heart weapons or thresh, it also has weapon surge built in For whatever weapon is may hunt your super allowing you to put surges on a different element or run other mods
Felwinter's on Strand is my favorite bs to pull in Onslaught. The Disorient + Suspend/Unravel + 30% Weaken is so invaluable and I love being the rare Grapple fanatic on Warlock
Favorite exotic for fun: Vesper of Radius (especially if you play it Time Lord style and go hyper aggressive with vesper+glaive) Strongest exotic for team play: Cenotaph Strongest exotic for solo: Sunbracers Favorite exotic not mentioned: idk
Time to annotate. I made a dawn chorus build the day I made this post and every other exotic is collecting dust. I can't even comprehend the devastation. Neither can anyone else because no one is accepting my applications when they see I dont run well
It's funny that most of these are my favorite exotics but folks keep telling me they're bad. I'm going to let my confirmation bias tell me that you're correct and that they're wrong. Thank you for improving my self-worth, Destiny TH-camr.
Solo legend/master lost sectors or vex strike force. If you’re not sure how to do either of those things you almost certainly don’t need osmiomancy, just use whatever you find fun.
Karnstein is my top. Not for defeating enemies, but for making me not be defeated :) Phoenix Protocol needed to be on here somewhere. It’s boring, but it is clutch.
@@itztizzle Yeah for sure. I was watching along like "I forgot how many good exotics there are." Next sentence was you saying how doing this made you realize the same thing lol 🤣
Not sure if you’ve shown your felwinters build before but I would love to see it, I love that helm but all the builds I have made with it seem lacklustre and even some from other TH-camrs haven’t really hit the mark Also please can we have a updated Contraverse hold build video 🙌
I just use pheonix for after well and mantle of battle harmony as before well Mobh for regenerate super faster and if super not in use got 4 times subclass specific weapon damage and if gonna use well just switch to pheonix protocol for 50% super regeneration It just easy to switch and pretty viable
For spesific built i go for well of radiance for kept for later purpose Fusion grenade bcs dealt alot of damage and fast recharge ,any melee charge and pheonix dive Aspect that if said ignetion final blow can get grenade,melee and class energy faster and melee cause weapon radiant Use special primary slot for single damage swap off if want to dps Luna howl hc+inca or calus mini tool unrel+inca or zauli bane explo + inca Heavy go for dragon breath for boss dps and can recharge faster on subclass energy faster cause scorch or ignite and auto load dragon breath by scorch
Sunbracers inevitable at number 1 but it is so strong (wait until next weeks TWID); you say Felwinters is great but Warlocks don’t have great melees. Imagine it with 3 lighting surges and devour, with a one-two finisher and Monte Carlo. Mmmmmm🤔
Sunbracers are only strong when they're allowed to be, that's the trade off, when its easy to survive they're god like, but in situations where you can't activate them consistently, they're worthless
There’s no nerf happening to them. They’re giving us Prismatic and you’re gonna say sunbracers is too strong? When banner of war, lucky pants hunter and assasins cowl hunter exist? Take away sunbracers and warlocks have no real ability spam build even close to capable of standing up to the potency of other classes.
Decent list, except for Verities Brow, it’s such a short window unless your team is really on board it’s useless. Briarbinds deserves to be there, they’re INSANE especially if you can keep it rolling for a long time! I love the exotic Ballidorse Wrathweavers on Stasis. I run Frost Pulse and Sunshot for my weapon choice and using the artifact mods it’s such high damage and crowd control. You also get a full overshield when you pop your rift, it’s a perfect close range oh shit button.
I’m sad eye of another world was forgotten when your abilities all just recharge faster which is just underrated, especially when it goes over the t10 of the e.g: t10 discipline would act as if it were some how t13 which is underrated
Yeah, you know I enjoy these videos a lot but with all the nerves over the last couple weeks, I’m afraid you’re gonna have to do some more videos bro keep up the good work
Having dawn chorus and geomags on the list but not lunafaction boots, phoenix protocol, or rain of fire (pretty much the only 3 exotics you should be using on any boss encounter for raids) is criminal ..
The best Warlock exotic is Astrocyte Verse. Not for its utility, but for its representation of roughly 8 years of unwarranted Blink nerfs and Voidlock nerfs in general.
Does anyone know how to get a better stat roll with Sunbracers? Or how to get them again??? I already have them but got them very early at light lvl 1750 and it's shit. I'm at 1820 but struggle to get 100 Resillience and Strength (But with Sunshot it's godly)
I’ve been using sunbracers for better over a year. A lot of people use these wrong there is a reason low man’s use this. For anyone saying it falls off in end game that’s where it thrives tbh. Especially when paired with certain fragments to constantly be applying scorch or ashes to assets the enemies take alittle longer to kill giving back huge returns in abilities. Not to mention a mele combined with a phoenix dive does double ignitions and also counts as a melee after the second ignition from phoenix to say this falls off when I can make a melee hit for almost 60k with aoe included is crazy. The problem is 98 percent of destiny 2 players change builds like there underwear and they never get good or truly learn the skill of the build. It’s funny how many people will say it sucks then how many people say it’s cheap and over powered yet you haven’t solo flawless anything taken it into GMs ect. It’s okay to admit u just simply don’t know how to use this exotic. Same with verity’s. Real end game players know this list is 10/10
Currently my favorite lock exotic, without any doubt, is Karnsteins. In regards to Verity's and Starfire, its also nice to pair these up together, benevolence, heal clip, continously feed each other buffs n chuck away 🙃
@@RevTheoryWPG We don't know the specifics yet. All we know is that Bungie said a nerf to Well is coming, and the reason is double pronged. One, they don't want Warlocks to be born to Nova and forced to Well. Two, they don't like the current boss DPS dynamic where everyone just sits carefree in a well. My guess is they either rework it somehow, or nerf the healing enough for it to not be viable for boss DPS (hopefully not the second one, cuz that'd just force Warlocks to still run Well, but also force them to run heal nades and phoenix dive for extra healing)
@@Skydron Good point. Personally I hope not, at least not as a replacement to Well. I'm so tired of this sit around and shoot dps checks. I much more prefer Rhulk styled encounters
I must say that sunbracers fail in a lot of content if your fireteam interrupts your melee kills. Yes, they are powerful but they are less reliable than they seem
@@stanleyli2525 I thought the issue in this thread was not being able to activate subbracers. As far as buffs and nerds go we won't know if it's an issue until we see the next sandbox.
? Verity's brow isn't #1 only because people don't bother taking advantage of it's secondary perk. On paper Verity's is the strongest exotic in the game (if people just used it)
@@gamingoverlord8854 exactly, sunbracers imo is so overrated. It only has survivability if u have heat rises, and even then the loop takes too much work and will get u killed in endgame content. Rain of fire, verity’s and cenotaph are all better options on solar imo especially if u have strong weapons.
@@AM-bq4ki Sunbracer's is just super clunky to use. Definitely strong tho. The reason it's overated is because even if it's clunky the playstyle is simple.
I'm kind of going on a tangent here, but Contraverse Hold is so underwhelming. Firstly, Chaos Accelerant is borderline useless as the bonuses it gives (a slightly longer grenade) are next to nothing and comparable to a fragment. There's a reason it's only ever used with Contraverse. On the contrary, Child of the Old Gods is absolutely amazing and provides another avenue into the ability loop. Regardless, the boost you get from Contraverse simply isn't that significant and is worth less than a couple of void kills from Nezarec's Sin, in my opinion. Simply put, replacing Child of the Old Gods with a borderline useless aspect that only kind of works, with an exotic offering a negligible boost, isn't worth it. For context, Nezarec's Sin requires only 5 kills to equal the grenade energy boost from Contraverse Hold (10 kills on a double proc). And, using Child of the Old Gods over Chaos Accelerant provides a significant advantage (Chaos Accelerant is just awful).
For verity brow. Its also ugly as f and only works well with season of the hunt armor. I dont understand how bungie makes ornaments. Had 3 to 4 back to back necrotic grip ornaments because it was being overused. But wont give one to verity brow, even though every warlock says the would use it if it had a ornament. I mean dawn chorus is ugly, but got a awesome ornaments amd now every uses it.
starfire protocol is my number one because two fusion grenades that give me a free healing rift is really good for being able to pop down healing rifts for my friends to trigger benevolence.
Karnstein Armlets are arguably the most busted Exotic in the game. ANY melee kill will grant you resto x1. A finisher will grant resto x2. ANY melee can extend that resto x2 timer. So get a finisher and just melee everything and you’re impossible to kill. Pair it with buried bloodline and Winterbite on stasis lock and it’s hilarious.
Got a dim link for that Stasislock setup with Winterbite? Sounds like tons of fun and I rly adapted it with strand but wasn't sure if I should swap to any other subclass with the suspending power
Contraverse is a shadow of its former self since the ability regen nerfs. I’d use Nezzy’s Sin or even Nothing Manacles if you’re looking to spam out weakening nades.
The problem with sunbracers being so far above every other exotic is it means it'll probably get nerfed. Wish the gap wasn't so wide. Buff other stuff bungo not nerf the good stuff
@@gamingoverlord8854 Even though I don't want it to get nerfed, the best way off the top of my head would be for it to have the same timer but to only be able to throw, idk... 4 grenades instead of 5? Or 3? 3 grenades is still pretty good. Keep the timer but just put a cap on the number of grenades you can throw
Not mentioning Karensteins is criminal lol. I get why it might not make the top 10 but it deserves an honorable mention at least. Did my solo Warlord's with it ez.

One, they don't want Warlocks to be born to Nova and forced to Well. Two, they don't like the current boss DPS dynamic where everyone just sits carefree in a well.
My guess is they either rework it somehow, or nerf the healing enough for it to not be viable for boss DPS (hopefully not the second one, cuz that'd just force Warlocks to still run Well, but also force them to run heal nades and phoenix dive for extra healing)
@@gamingoverlord8854Have to wonder if Boots of the Assembler will have a chance to shine as a result.
@@Skydron Good point. Personally I hope not, at least not as a replacement to Well. I'm so tired of this sit around and shoot dps checks. I much more prefer Rhulk styled encounters
Rain of Fire is bonkers once adjust your play style to it. Free reloads and constant Radiant is stupid strong.
Thanks for the video
PLEASEEEEEE try out gyrfalcons with Buried Bloodline!!!!
I must say that sunbracers fail in a lot of content if your fireteam interrupts your melee kills. Yes, they are powerful but they are less reliable than they seem
You aren't playing them aggressively enough.
Well, Sunbracers have been nerfed
@@stanleyli2525 good thing Imo. Same with the well nerfs.
@@blakec8549 The issue is they aren’t really buffing the other exotics a whole lot
@@stanleyli2525 I thought the issue in this thread was not being able to activate subbracers. As far as buffs and nerds go we won't know if it's an issue until we see the next sandbox.
The comments about the “fell off” comments FELL OFF gg.
no rain of fire? 😮
Dudes bias is holding this list back
how is phoenix protocol not on here 😭 this man hates unlimited wells
Verity's brow over vespar is absolutely insane!!
how? veritys is the best exotic for literally any grenade focused build lock build outside of bracers and ostimancy
Verity’s healing grenade build with ember of benevolence is the best endgame warlock build
? Verity's brow isn't #1 only because people don't bother taking advantage of it's secondary perk. On paper Verity's is the strongest exotic in the game (if people just used it)
@@gamingoverlord8854 exactly, sunbracers imo is so overrated. It only has survivability if u have heat rises, and even then the loop takes too much work and will get u killed in endgame content. Rain of fire, verity’s and cenotaph are all better options on solar imo especially if u have strong weapons.
@@AM-bq4ki Sunbracer's is just super clunky to use. Definitely strong tho. The reason it's overated is because even if it's clunky the playstyle is simple.
I'm kind of going on a tangent here, but Contraverse Hold is so underwhelming. Firstly, Chaos Accelerant is borderline useless as the bonuses it gives (a slightly longer grenade) are next to nothing and comparable to a fragment. There's a reason it's only ever used with Contraverse. On the contrary, Child of the Old Gods is absolutely amazing and provides another avenue into the ability loop. Regardless, the boost you get from Contraverse simply isn't that significant and is worth less than a couple of void kills from Nezarec's Sin, in my opinion.
Simply put, replacing Child of the Old Gods with a borderline useless aspect that only kind of works, with an exotic offering a negligible boost, isn't worth it.
For context, Nezarec's Sin requires only 5 kills to equal the grenade energy boost from Contraverse Hold (10 kills on a double proc). And, using Child of the Old Gods over Chaos Accelerant provides a significant advantage (Chaos Accelerant is just awful).
Crown of Tempest and Nezarec’s Sin????????
How are swamers better then Phoenix protocol 😭
No one talking about apotheosis veil is confusing as hell it’s genuinely the best exotic on well
Not putting felwinters and vesper in the top 10 is diabolical
For verity brow. Its also ugly as f and only works well with season of the hunt armor.
I dont understand how bungie makes ornaments. Had 3 to 4 back to back necrotic grip ornaments because it was being overused. But wont give one to verity brow, even though every warlock says the would use it if it had a ornament. I mean dawn chorus is ugly, but got a awesome ornaments amd now every uses it.
Where is my boy mantle of battle harmony bro
Dead since the rework
starfire protocol is my number one because two fusion grenades that give me a free healing rift is really good for being able to pop down healing rifts for my friends to trigger benevolence.
Mantle of Battle Harmony with Solar is insane 🌟
Karnstein Armlets are arguably the most busted Exotic in the game. ANY melee kill will grant you resto x1. A finisher will grant resto x2. ANY melee can extend that resto x2 timer. So get a finisher and just melee everything and you’re impossible to kill. Pair it with buried bloodline and Winterbite on stasis lock and it’s hilarious.
Got a dim link for that Stasislock setup with Winterbite? Sounds like tons of fun and I rly adapted it with strand but wasn't sure if I should swap to any other subclass with the suspending power
You can't use bloodline and winterbite at the same time?
Shhhh don’t tell anyone
@@db1872 he's saying either/or not both
Contraverse is a shadow of its former self since the ability regen nerfs. I’d use Nezzy’s Sin or even Nothing Manacles if you’re looking to spam out weakening nades.
Contraverse is still great btw
Dude forgot that phoenix protocol even exist 😂😂😂😂 what a joke
sorry but monte carlo with karnsteins will get you a good amount of damage and a very good amount of survivability
So long sunbracers .
The problem with sunbracers being so far above every other exotic is it means it'll probably get nerfed. Wish the gap wasn't so wide. Buff other stuff bungo not nerf the good stuff
Don't know what they'll do to nerf it though.
@@gamingoverlord8854 Even though I don't want it to get nerfed, the best way off the top of my head would be for it to have the same timer but to only be able to throw, idk... 4 grenades instead of 5? Or 3? 3 grenades is still pretty good. Keep the timer but just put a cap on the number of grenades you can throw
@@oxsila I feel like the most likely nerf will be a duration nerf unfortunately, or a regen nerf.
If Stephen Hawking did destiny vids, this is what they would sound like.
Need to take this videos down. Lol
Dawn chorus is so overrated, I don’t understand why people keep hyping it up
Sometimes I like my own comment to get top comment
Kind of weird man lol
how did you not mention nezerans sin? are you living under a rock?
