These last couple build videos have been really cool. I like how you explain D2 jargon and make it approachable for more casual players - which has made it perfect for me to share with my friends who don’t play D2 often. I hope there’s a hunter video coming!
I am blown away at the depth you took us to in such a short time!! Thank you for this!! You’re a life saver!!! Exactly what I was looking for this season!!
The subtle addition of the neon worm going around the exotic armor piece in the corner representing the time you are talking about that build is some creativeness I've never seen anywhere before. And one endscreen at the end for us to pause on... this is one of the most well thought out presentations for consumption that should be followed for any game...
First time finding this guide and gotta say well done, you were straight to the point, no bull filler, not trying to drag it out, talk about "how it use to be" - just a no nonsense guide on how to play it, and what it does. keep up the great work!
2:30 Void + Contraverse Hold 5:12 Void + Veritys Brow 7:35 Strand + Necrotic Grips 10:37 Arc + Getaway Artists 13:06 Arc + Vesper of Radius 15:40 Stasis + Mantle of Battle Harmony 17:57 Solar + Phoenix Protocol Notes: -Recommend watching the build loop for Veritys Brow and Mantle of Battle Harmony for effective play. -Use Osteo Strigga with Necrotic Grips. -Proc sentient arc soul for Getaway Artist by consuming grenade BEFORE stepping into a rift because stepping into a rift first forces you to have a normal arc soul.
I know pre-nerf starfire protocol was busted af, but I do miss it. Was so much fun killing everything with fusion nades + ashes to assets to spam well and then having some of the most fun dps rotations in the game. Glad it's gone for balance reasons but man was it fun
Dont really need a build for those, done hundreds for new exotic farm. Just have wishender: it is antibarrier, minor and elite killer, solar void arc strand stasis shield breaker. The only possible problem you will face is either unstop/overloads. You can use peak tactics to stay alive. Wishender is a legit busted exotic weapon.
for the second build with Verity, I'd recommend the magnetic grenade with chaos accelerant over the scatter. Handheld supernova does ridiculous damage to the point that you can one hit a barrier champ before they even have the chance to pop their shield
I always see titan/hunter content on TH-cam. Great to see in depth content for Warlocks! As a solo player I'll definitely be putting your builds to use
One of my favorite builds for Warlock is Solar+Sunbracers. It can be a bit difficult to get working in end game content but it always does a TON of damage.
Been maining Controverse Hold build for like a two years now and am still not tired of it! lol.. You can guarantee at least 50 orbs generated no matter the event (sometimes triple digit orbs depending on the enemy concentration)
Excellent video. As a Hunter main who also likes to dabble in eating crayons and wearing dresses I appreciate the ideas for classes so I can try out new things. You earned my sub today.
Hugeeeeee tip for the first build with controverse hold. You want witherhoard. And a void smg or auto rifle and void machine gun. So once you trigger devour witherhoard just keeps it going in pve. Well instead of the devour on orb pick up you want the one that grants your void weapons volatile rounds. Also your other fragments should be the weaken grenade the increased duration for lingering effects this makes your contraverse hold grenades into mini nova bombs and the other two fragments should be the enemies explode when killed by void abilities and the one that grants you an overshield on kills when your health is low. This turns you into a tank that has extremely great team support via weaken and damage via volatile rounds and your grenades. This has been my main build for the passed year and change. I'm sorry I don't remember the echo named fragments specifically
Nothing you have done hasn't been done before however the quality of the content you put in your video made me subscribe so polished and explained so well very well done my friend look forward to watching your other videos.
Love this content Castle! So sorry a bug messed up the release. Fantastic content :) Note, if you run an osmosis primary with the Void builds- grenade throws turn your primary void and it will proc volatile rounds on your primary as well as wave splitter, so much fun shredding with all your weapons being volatile! Not to mention anything with destabilizing rounds on top of that! Fireworks! Thanks!
I have like, 3000 hours on this game, i still watch build videos just for entertainment but they usually talk about builds ive already used. This video gave me like, 4 or 5 that sounded super fun! Love the video man.
I used to use a void build with Verity's Brow, Unforgiven with demo + repulsor brace, and the old charged with light system/elemental well system. Grenade kills make a void well, picking one up gives me two stacks of charged with light, three stacks of firepower gives me like 60% of my grenade back. Toss in devour and volatile rounds and it was so much fun. Too bad it never mattered because I was always forced onto Well...
Should have 1 well and one Veritys. Healing and kinetic damage boosting, and grenade energy for the team. I think Veritys is severely underated as a tool for teams
I might get back to destiny since my girl has been wanting to play. These vids are awesome and helpful for a returning player like me since idk what the meda/ builds are nowadays
I made a stupid build last night using Vesper of Radious on Well of Radiance. Adding that stun to our wells while bosses trying to stomp on us is hilarious and fun
For the 7th build, Phoenix Protocol. I suggest two exotics you try out for fun. First is, Ticcus Divination. Ticcus is a hard hitting bow, especially with the Catalyst. Upon Detonation, any target hit with the explosion, will also explode if they have the Sacred Flame debuff. This means you can chain explosion. Furthermore, any target killed with the Explosion are counted as Weapon kills, so upon death, they will also ignite. This means that if you hit a major, but don’t kill him, and instead, you kill the adds near him, those very same adds will then ignite and explode, killing the major. So not only do you chain explosions, but targets killed by those chained explosions then explode again doing high damage and spreading scorch. By this point, your already ready to fire your next two shots, and get more kills, causing more ignitions, spreading more Scorch witch may cause ignitions if you further scorch the target. Another exotic to try does not have the pure devastation that Ticcus can unleash upon an army, but it still feels like a carpet bomb. This exotic is Eyes of Tomorrow. Eyes of Tomorrow allow you to fire off 6 rockets, all of witch can independently hit a different target, causing the blast radius to be much larger than a traditional rocket. Furthermore, if all 6 of these rockets hit, they will reload the launcher to full mag and give you a damage bonus. The only downside to this method is that you sacrifice damage and the ammo economy for Eyes is not great. A non issue in team activities where your teammates may run cenotaph or Aeons. you could play support with div too.
Vesper is so great on stasis tho,,, run into a group of adds, use rift, everything gets frozen, then zapped, which shatters them automatically. Everything dies. You have your rift back almost every time if you ran into a big enough group of enemies,
Honestly, just run sunbracers with ashes to assets for well lock, how the whole thing works is eat a grenade for heat rises, then u float and pop ur melee, after killing anything, u have 5 seconds of infinite grenade, then u spam that thing at adds while u r airborne, then u get ur melee back when u finish the infinite grenade cuz heat rises gives melee energy for each kill when airborne. With ashes to assets, u can get well in like 10 seconds if u have enough adds to kill. Make sure to also run firepower for extra orbs so u get even more ult charge
I can’t believe, especially regarding this season’s champion mods, that fallen sun star with trinity ghoul isn’t here. It’s so fucking good especially with the catalyst and the fragment where you get traces for arc kills. Live it!! I also love my sunbracers build with wish ender and calus mini tool.
Have a build with VoR alongside nez whisper. It's legit the most fun and consistent build for me. It's also very aggressive for solo play. It also teaches you a lot more about positioning in harder content.
Such a beautiful video. I was only a sunbracers well-lock before, but all these builds look amazing. I sincerely hope this reupload does the video justice. Good luck and thank you for the content!
Note about spark of beacons, only affects arc special (not heavy) weapon kills, not all arc weapons. Last season had an artifact perk that made explosions while amplified for all arc weapons but they don’t blind like the spark does. Also stasis shards don’t give grenade energy. You only get improved grenade recharge from shattering crystals with whisper of shards, which you’re also using, but important to note the distinction between the two. Headstone weapons sound really appealing with this if you like spamming nades Love the video tho, very well put together and I’m totally using the strand and stasis builds (once rng stops giving me karnsteins and starfires)
Just 1 thought for verity’s so I’m a raid(alr bad start lol) 1 warlock with this build and the rest are just titans with double nades running either threadling or string up one or even pulse nades
Also for the void contraverse build I think undermining expulsion remenatn and instability. BUT if you want you can use the fragement child of the gods and use undermining harvest expulsion and presitence this is just my opinion

Only now did I figure out prime starfire, I got it as a new light and weared it cause it was high power 😭
Starfire is still good but not for raids I’ve used it in GMS and it’s pretty good.
They needs bring it back was the only good warlock build

Seeing that double special combo with enigma while using contraverse holds makes me so happy :D
Please come out with Hunter and Titan videos soon! Love this video, have so many options since i play all 3 classes.
Titan one in a couple weeks, hunter in a couple weeks after that (trying to space them out a bit)
One of my favorite builds for Warlock is Solar+Sunbracers. It can be a bit difficult to get working in end game content but it always does a TON of damage.
Thank you SOOOOOO much for this. I'm starting to get into Destiny more, but I'm so lost still with builds and armor and such.

Very good advice.
Amazing video, also i love the infographic on where to put all the mods, and the dim links thank you :)
A real good weapon to use with the Getaway Artist is the Centrifuse as it boosts to max power when you consume your grenade

Great info Woody thanks again for supporting the 2nd watch. It means so much.
I use a dragonfly + destabilizing rounds nessa's oblation (RoN slug) and traveler's chosen
Finally some luv for getaway artists ❤ all i see is crown this, fallen that, ive alway rocked my getaway artists build over the other two 🙂

I just started really getting into Warlock last season, so I’m pretty pumped to give these a shot.
Just found your channel..... I love the way you break down and explain in detail the workings of your builds!
Welcome aboard! Thank you!
This is awesome content! Straight to the point and detailed. I can't wait to get some of these strand and stasis exotics!
I just ran the first build and wow, that was some of the most fun I’ve ever had playing D2 in a while
I think there are some other build you may missed out but that's enough for someone who are new to warlock, good work bro !
Comment for your algorithm. Thank you as always for the great content.
watching again and commenting for the algorithm 😎 you make great content bro keep it up.

This sort of video is amazing for the newer players. Keep it up, show them the tip of the iceberg when it comes to build depth!
Some of the best built content I have seen. Thanks!
thank you!
Your video format is one of the best for build guides 👌
I might get back to destiny since my girl has been wanting to play. These vids are awesome and helpful for a returning player like me since idk what the meda/ builds are nowadays
I love all your builds. So well explained, so well built.
Thank you!
Excellent guide, this is precisely what I needed ❤
Great video, love the format, no Bs/fluff. Subscribed
Love your content! Really enjoy the details, down to touching on what the class key words do.
Vid so nice, you had to upload it twice.
Really well done man. I'm hoping for the hunter version of this.
Dang this vid is top tier, glad it wasn't ever ever falsely reported and taken down. ;)
Lol
Such an awesome vid, and all the builds are fantastic - thank you from a Destiny noob and a fresh Warlock looking for tips!
Thanks for these. Coming back to the game and needed a leg up
I made a stupid build last night using Vesper of Radious on Well of Radiance. Adding that stun to our wells while bosses trying to stomp on us is hilarious and fun
Yooo the arc fashion looks so good man
had no idea about that synergy with well and the ignition fragment
definitely trying it out
Great job on this video, definitely going to give a few of these a try, new to warlock.
For the 7th build, Phoenix Protocol. I suggest two exotics you try out for fun.
First is, Ticcus Divination. Ticcus is a hard hitting bow, especially with the Catalyst. Upon Detonation, any target hit with the explosion, will also explode if they have the Sacred Flame debuff. This means you can chain explosion. Furthermore, any target killed with the Explosion are counted as Weapon kills, so upon death, they will also ignite. This means that if you hit a major, but don’t kill him, and instead, you kill the adds near him, those very same adds will then ignite and explode, killing the major.
So not only do you chain explosions, but targets killed by those chained explosions then explode again doing high damage and spreading scorch. By this point, your already ready to fire your next two shots, and get more kills, causing more ignitions, spreading more Scorch witch may cause ignitions if you further scorch the target.

The only downside to this method is that you sacrifice damage and the ammo economy for Eyes is not great. A non issue in team activities where your teammates may run cenotaph or Aeons. you could play support with div too.
I really wish the explosions from Ticcu applied scorch or counted as ignitions.
Best warlock build vid I’ve ever seen
See this is what a channel should be about ,building guardians to be better…..we are all your army my general!
Watching it again to help the algorithm!
Thank you!!
I like this. Great work you explained so much and it’s a great video to recommend to someone considering playing warlock
Dang this is an incredible video, thanks for all the builds
Watching your videos is like attending online course can't wait for your hunter builds
I'm sorry you had to repost this, hopefully it won't crash and burn
Castle said "No Weavewalk? No Problem!" 😂
Outstanding video - and thanks for the dim loadouts!
Thanks!
So many builds I want to try now. Thanks man.
Glad to help!
I like to call my lil boy Andrew, like futurama. Get em Andrew!
thorn has been a real menace with the poison build since the handcannon buff
Absolutely great video! I'm a new subscriber and loving all the information I'm learning about builds from you. Thank you.
Thanks Robert!
Vesper is so great on stasis tho,,, run into a group of adds, use rift, everything gets frozen, then zapped, which shatters them automatically.
Everything dies.
You have your rift back almost every time if you ran into a big enough group of enemies,
yeah, I like pairing it with ruinous effigy and glacier grenades
7 builds by the best build breakdown TH-cam 😵💫
Need this for all classes!
Honestly, just run sunbracers with ashes to assets for well lock, how the whole thing works is eat a grenade for heat rises, then u float and pop ur melee, after killing anything, u have 5 seconds of infinite grenade, then u spam that thing at adds while u r airborne, then u get ur melee back when u finish the infinite grenade cuz heat rises gives melee energy for each kill when airborne.

I've used veritys brow on stasis with the exotic stasis bow.
Thank you man. I was getting hopeless with my warlock 😢
Love this; great content and so well presented. I think you can add a pure Threadlings build in there too; since the buff they’re pretty nutty.
Touché lol, thx!
Hope to see a Briarbinds vid from you. Those have slid comfortably into the voidlock slot
You can bet your ass the second the loadouts work again I'm COPYING ALL THESE!!!! Great video Castle!
I gotta see this vid for Titans and Hunters too this is good stuff here
Titans in a couple weeks, hopefully hunters a couple weeks after that
i've been checking everyday for the titan version of this vid. Cant wait
2 weeks!
I can’t believe, especially regarding this season’s champion mods, that fallen sun star with trinity ghoul isn’t here. It’s so fucking good especially with the catalyst and the fragment where you get traces for arc kills.
Live it!! I also love my sunbracers build with wish ender and calus mini tool.
Sunbracers is at the end, and fallen sunstar juuuuuuuust missed the cut (wanted to keep the vid below 20min)
The true guardians will be back for him
