    Ever since we found out that the new Song of Flame super gave you near infinite grenade ability regeneration for the length of its duration I had a thought that it might enable older rotations to resurface, specifically the really old Demo Rocket Starfire Protocol rotation. Back in the day, pre-nerf Starfire enabled crazy regeneration of your Fusion Grenades if you used Witherhoard for the constant tick damage, though as we all know this meta has long since passed, but as you’ll see today, not only can you do this once again with Song of Flame, new contenders can also be weaved into the rotation like Still Hunt to pad your overall total damage by even more. Not to mention, the Ignitions caused by the Phoenix Grenades cause most bosses to stagger constantly, letting you control any bosses with erratic movement such as the Herald of Finality. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the breakdown and good luck trying it yourself!

    Grave Robber was buffed to be the same as Demo wrt reloads, and might have a different internal cooldown. Celestial fire can be used in Song to hit targets like the Witness as well.
    Grenades use 6% of your super in Song, and have a longer animation. Melees use 3% of your super in Song, resulting in a longer super with more weapon damage uptime, and removing the requirement of ApoVeil for finishing the rotation.
    StarEaters+Claws on the class item does give you 2 melees in your super as well, which chunk much harder. Claws will change the rotation significantly tho, depending on GraveRobber's ICD.
    The caveat - the only heavy weapon with GraveRobber worth considering is going to be Crowning Duologue, coming with the Solstice soon. It will most probably outclass the Demo rotation for weapon uptime, but being a worse archetype than Apex, might have lower total damage for a higher dps.

      ​@Alckee6904 Definitely new compared to old Acrius rotations.
      On Prismatic, throw down a stasis turret (for darkness debuff and shatters), then pop prismatic for a weaken and freeze nade, then pop song of flame and snap + Acrius x3 on repeat until the super ends. Ignitions from snap do big damage due to darkness debuffs. Shatters do additional damage. Acrius auto reloads due to freeze. Acrius does big DPS by itself too. Song of flame gives DR so safe to get up close.
      This takes Acrius to a whole new level to old rotations. Arguably the best up close rotation in the game.

    prismatic will definitely be better for this, even with the slightly slower recharge rate. Your super damage gets boosted my star-eater and facet of courage (unravel with arcane needle before popping super). Use jolting storm nades and toss one before popping super to get even more damage from jolt. Facet of dawn will let you carry radiant after the super ends for more damage aswell.

    This rotation with rain of fire is peak DPS. You can shoot the rocket at almost full speed for the entire mag, and have bns for the entire mag dump. However if you are combining it with a still hunt rotation to never have to reload then explosive light is better cause you don't have to shoot your third weapon (which you aren't doing here???)
    Rotation: (I'll try this out myself maybe, but either you or chicken sie are gonna be in a race to upload it)
    Still hunt Goldie x3, normal x3, rocket grenade rocket dash, still hunt x3, pop still hunt Goldie and super to animation cancel, then Goldie x3, rocket grenade rocket dash rocket grenade, still hunt x6, rocket grenade rocket dash still hunt Goldie x3 still hunt x3 rocket grenade dash still hunt x3 Goldie x3. This should work in your average 30second DPS phase. I think that's out of ammo there for both, you always could pair it with a demo vorpal/frenzy mountaintop and do Mntp grenade Mntp dash Mntp grenade Mntp dash for the rest of the DPS phase of on apotheosis.

  • @meekumanu
    @meekumanu 22 วันที่ผ่านมา +14

    On the grenade cooldown on Prismatic:
    It's probably because of the base cooldown of your grenade. Because you're normally using Fusion Grenades which have a really low base cooldown (1min13secs), they come up much faster during the super on Solar. I'm yet to test this, but if you pick the grenade on Prismatic with the lowest cooldown, the moth grenade will probably come back pretty fast during the super as well.
    Unfortunately, the lowest cooldown grenade on Prismatic is Healing Grenade (1min31secs) which still has a longer cooldown and does no damage, so it interferes with the damage of the Apotheosis Veil part of the rotation.
    You could also pop Transcendence before your super, and then dealing damage with your melee will increase your grenade recharge rate as well. It would mess with the rotation a little, but it's not like the Song of Flame melee does bad damage anyway.
    I'm sure there is a method for Prismatic to do more damage here, but it needs a lot more testing. Storm or Threadling Grenade (2min1sec) just have dramatically higher cooldowns than Fusion so it'll take a bit more work on getting a well timed rotation.

      Right, the trick is that a lot of people aren't stacking rockets on Salvation's Edge's bosses, so that Titan is probably better off doing some stronger rotation for themselves than giving a buff to a relatively small part of your total damage--but you are correct in a different sense, because BnS buffs Wolfpack Rounds and Explosive Light doesn't, so the difference between the perks becomes much sharper.

Basically every time they ran out their Cloudstrike mags they'd reload cancel by swapping to Wendigo and dumping it.

IE: go prismatic, lauch stasis/ void gre then super with the same rotation. Might also be good to have void heavy to get bonus dmg with void debuf.... a lot of things to try ;)
    But you're using heavy+super for dps, so there's a trade off depending on the boss dmg/phases. Long boss dps like prophecy it might better better to use the super and the heavy tomax the damage. A lot of EGO tools to play with ;)

    My question is how do I even find a group like yours and the other top players like Aegis or Tizzle? I've been trying for years going from group to group and it feels impossible. I've pushed myself to the limit and want nothing more than to find people with similar and hopefully better skill than me so that I can keep getting better. I feel like nothing in this game is challenging anymore but I can't find people like you guys who feel the same. I don't want to just be a viewer who tags along, I want to genuinely be a part of a good group like yours because I can hold my own and know that I could be getting even better with the right team pushing me.

      Assuming max recombination stacks, the breakpoint at which Vorpal becomes better is seven shots. (Think of it as one boost of 100% versus seven boosts of 15%, which is 105% of a shot in total.)

    • @life-destiny1196
      @life-destiny1196 22 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Having thought about it over the past half hour, here's a rough draft:
      Prismatic w/Hazardous Propulsion
      any kinetic + Cloudstrike (or really any 140 sniper) + Hothead (Demo/EL)
      grenade of choice + shield throw + thruster + probably twilight arsenal for super
      fragments: hope for class ability regen, dawn+purpose for uptime on elemental buffs for hope
      get max Hazardous stacks and Transcendence energy during mechanics
      Shield Throw -> Thruster -> rocket -> nade -> rocket -> transcend -> (maybe mtop shot or something if demo timing is a problem) -> shield throw -> nade -> rocket -> super -> nade ->
      at this point rocket buff is probably over, so 9x Cloudstrike to refill Hazardous ->
      thruster is probably up by now? if not keep cloudstriking, maybe keep cycling melees and nades ->
      shield throw -> thruster -> rocket -> nade -> rocket -> manual reload, dump rest of rockets -> dump rest of cloudstrike if it's still DPS somehow
      ---
      There's probably also Reconstruction variants, or even Izi/ALH if you could get it fast enough to dump four rockets in the ten-second window (probably not practical with regular ALH considering rocket handling, but maybe enhanced?). Or Slideshot Crux if you're feeling spicy.
      In a world where you can get the Thruster cooldown low enough, I could even see something like thruster -> two recon rockets -> manual reload -> 3x sniper-> two recon rockets -> manual reload -> 3x sniper -> repeat. I just don't see a way to make that happen right now.

      This is specifically a dps build, if you put bipod on it will drop your dmg per rocket by 25%. So compared to explosive light it's doing 50% less dmg per rocket which is a lot of dmg loss. Bipod is good for bursting down Champs and stuff but not straight dps, unfortunately

      ​@portionsforcam Swapping to a gl or sniper during a rotation aren't bad things, it's helping keep up the dps. It's been one of the metas for years now becuase gl's do a lot of dmg per shot. If the rotation isn't something you like than just shoot bipod rockets instead of swapping, but just understand your dps and total dmg is gonna be much worse. In that case just use a different dps method than this one.
