    Quicksilver Storm and Conditional Finality should be S Tier. Although Quicksilver relies on artifact mods for champions, it is by far the best exotic primary with how much damage it can pump out, and Conditional Finality has great damage for champions (also can stun unstoppables) and ad clear with the shatter/ignite damage. A bonus point is that both guns feel really good to use.

      @fangslore9988 Tangles on quicksilver are nice on Titans if you don't want to risk using the melee to make them, especially in gms. Too bad most of the time, my teammates pick them up or destroy them, so I can't give everyone woven mail

      Conditional Finality in the champion space is the powercrept version of Bastion.
      Go on solar with ember of eruption: Kill a thing on a solar shot and EVERYTHING dies/gets stunned. Easily one of the 3 best special weapons in the game, right there with Witherhord and Osteo Striga

    At 1:11:39 talking Osteo striga (my personal favorite gun at level 1005) it already DOES have a Catalyst. If get a kill with the poison it overflows the magazine (+29 rounds) with every kill stacking up to around 115 rounds in the magazine. So sadly it'll probably never get a normal catalyst box

      As someone after your own heart, this weapon is also my favourite. I always push Gally duty onto my fireteam buddy to keep this on me. :)
      But one thing to note is that it's only the poison tick kills that give you that extra overflow ammo with the catalyst. Direct kills don't count. (You obviously knew this; it's for anyone reading this thread).
      In practical applications, this means that you need to learn when to kill just one enemy in a cluster, to ensure that the rest die to tick damage. You can then use the overflowed magazine to do real damage to majors and ultras.
      Best weapon evar!!!

      Stacking debuff on the linear shots, nothing huge since it is a primary but 5% per bolt could give this thing a niche.

    Trinity Ghoul synergizes DISGUSTINGLY well with warlock arc soul. You can focus big targets and shock little targets at the same time. On top of that, arc soul re-procs lightning rod. The bow generates a TON of traces. The bow gets Arc multikills which gen a TON of orbs (with mods) and even more orbs because of the kills while amplified. Combine this with fallen sunstar, pulse grenade, and a grenade build and it becomes crazy.

    Dead Messenger definitely deserves to be in the C or B tier. Also, a lot of the kinetic exotic primaries are listed lower because “you’re gonna be using the special slot for an SMG”.
    There are tons of great legendary special weps in the energy slot. Wave frames are far and away the best, one-two punch shotties or blinding GLs are great, trace rifles are wonderful, and there are plenty of good fusion rifles for majors or backup boss dps these days.

    If you put just the slightest thought on using Collective Obligation, it's easily a higher tier, Night stalker w Gyrfalcons / Void Demo Titan w Second Chance both can give volatile and weaken(plus the 15% damage buff from void leach), the gun also has infinite ammo if you equip devour or use stylish executioner.

    • @fangslore9988
      @fangslore9988 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    • @BossTyphlosion
      @BossTyphlosion ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @fangslore9988 My favorite class to use the gun on is Hunter. You can easily get weaken and volatile with smoke bombs and Gyrfalcons. There is also a fragment that makes void breachs on volatile kills, which can proc devour and give class energy. This setup is really fun but personally falls off in gms, despite all the debuffs and void Leach damage increase, the gun feels weaker in terms of damage compared to quicksilver, so A tier feels like a perfect match for this gun. ( I personally like exotic pulses need a damage buff towards orange bars so they don't feel like crap in gms, quicksilver storm is an example of what exotics primarys should feel like damage wise)

      @@nitro5202sadly the main thing tritons does is just give every glaive close to melee and chain reaction on energy shots. I think the only viable glaive build is on warlock using the fragments “echo of exchange, reprisal, and leeching”. Exchange gives grenade energy on melee final blows, reprisal gives super energy from kills while surrounded, and leeching is the most important giving free health regen to you AND your team from melee kills. Throw on Karnstein Armlets for even more regen. I used this through most of witch queen and lightfalls legend campaign throwing supers every minute

    I also really like Trinity Ghoul... but at least in the past, I found it dropped off hard when red bars get tough enough such that you might not get a kill with a shot--especially when you were shooting at a major surrounded by red bars and looking to crowd control that way. Ticuu's, on the other hand, manages it's perk without a required kill, which I always felt like it did superior damage when you were dealing with a major and still continuously damaging nearby red bars. But it's been a while since I've used it heavily, so perhaps I should go to Neomuna and try it again, as that is the epitome of tough red bars :)

      I assume you mean suppression? If so then you need suppressor grenade as far as I'm aware. Usually weaken and volatile are plenty, as weaken already suppresses them to some extent which has about the same effect as slowing them (so they can't aim for nothing and move slower). Some enemies just give up when weakened too.

    Sweet Business with a strand titan suspend build is fun, almost limitless uptime on your suspend, lots of woven mail from orbs and tangles, I use it frequently for legend lost sectors and have cleared GMs with it. It's definitely niche and requires a build around it, but it's got good stun, it's anti barrier this season, and with suspend it can burn single targets down fast. Pair it with a strand LMG and Actium War Rig and you're cooking in endgame content.

      @@Ebontis let me put it this way, sweet business by itself is not a a great gun, but if you have others also using it you melt through bosses. When bungie updated the exotic effect they more or less made it just like Rat King. Example Rat king alone is just a fancy side arm, but put with others guardians also using Rat King it becomes much more. Same goes for sweet business. By its self it’s just a gun that fires a lot but paired with other guardians it’s a god damn wrecking ball.
      Now for single play, the only time I use Sweet business is with the actium warrig chest piece, because the reload is just too long, and the fact that you can put a constant stream of damage on an enemy is a plus. Does it need a damage boost yes, is it endgame worthy honestly depends on the person.

    I think conditional finality should be a easy s tier, I’ve used it in solo flawless dungeons, master raid challenges, GMs etc etc, both shots in the mag stun unstops, it deals heaps of damage and if your good enough you can use the freeze to to essentially stun barrier and sometimes overload champs, it’s hand down the best raid exotic to date and one of the best exotics in the game for any activity

    Little point about the last word tho: If you play it with kinetic surge and lucky pants you can actually use it as a pretty good yellow bar clear or even boss damage. Like its definitely sub par. But there is a part to it that actually works in pve. I finished the whole legendary witch queen campaign with it. And it was fun. Cuz running around quickdrawing everything just felt awesome. I would've moved it up to D Tier. Cuz there's a lot of stuff that is better. But especially if you play hunter, there is a place for it.

      Thank YOU for responding to my comment.
      Please forgive the text wall to follow; I'm in the mood to gush.
      You did more than just help. You helped in a way that almost no other Destiny youtuber did for me, and I'm an "extreme researcher" type of player. If I played DnD, I'd be a Wizard for sure. I usually spend more time watching TH-cam vids and reading guides on Destiny than I do playing it (not an exaggeration).
      I'm sure you'll agree that the space is saturated with content creators. Each with their own spin, their own focus. And of course, their own personalities.
      But you checked three really big boxes for me, simultaneously.
      One, you have a ton of solo focused content.
      Two, you have a ton of basic guide content for seasonal activities, among others.
      And third, which really sets you apart from almost every other youtuber that bothers with the same content you do, is that you walk your viewers through EVERY FRICKIN MOMENT of the activity the guide focuses on, with relevant commentary throughout.
      I've lost count of the "guide" videos that left me guessing where I needed to go for collectibles or lost sector entrance locations, or specific strategies for encounters.
      With you, I can't be better prepared.
      And you do that despite TH-cam penalizing longer vids (maybe things have changed lately, but yeah). You still kept all that footage in, FOR YOUR AUDIENCE! And your success didn't change that.
      I recently duo'd normal Avalon after watching your guide. Without it, it would have taken my wife and I almost twice as long.
      I know this looks like I'm really trying to brownnose you for acknowledging my comment. But the truth is that you've earned every metaphorical kiss I've planted on that butt of yours on the pure merit of your content. Even if you didn't resemble Brock Frickin' Lesnar, which you do!
      So yeah, thanks again. Please keep up the amazing content and I wish you the best of luck with the channel as well!
      P.S. And if you see a business email from an address resembling my username, please give it a read.

    I know its against the grain a bit, but IMO Ace of Spades is actually pretty good in PvE since the 40% exotic buff. Fast reload, Momento Mori boosted Firefly, free kill clip damage, it honestly has everything you want. I'm not claiming S tier, but I do feel it warrants C or B.
    Edit: Getting further through the video, I feel you are severely undervaluing that 40% bonus damage on exotic primaries. In the meta at high level you are basically always using Forbearance and a machine gun or legendary rocket, so you are free to use exotic primaries. Legendary primaries as a whole feel weak right now.

    Mida was at one point a great weapon to have back in the early days and it’s never changed from then. Today it’s not ideal for any pve content but every now and then you can find a mobility hunter with mida who can carry revives simply for being too fast especially when you can have another kinetic in the energy slot that carries and you can swap to mida for the boost alone. Me personally can revive players while strafing just using this weapon. It has a purpose that shouldn’t be tiered this low but it’s misunderstood these days as compared to early years after Al the fluff to the game. If you find a mida player you got an OG
