A bit of a tip, you can run Archon Stretch, and then mod your exalted weapon for Electric/Viral instead of Heat/Viral, and it'll still proc Archon Stretch. Because it's not a channeled ability, it'll keep activating Archon Stretch for passive continuous energy regen.
Something great with Baruuks Exalted is that it doesn’t work with Blood Rush or Weeping Wounds but it does work with the gladiator mod set, meaning you can make a stat stick for it using gladiator mods for the massive Crit boost and red crits on every hit with little investment
Baruuk in theory: The enlightened, world-weary warrior dedicated to seeking the one true path, who only enacts violence upon those who would disrupt the pursuit of everlasting peace Baruuk in practice: That one guy in the discord server with a smug anime girl pfp who you swear only invites himself in on conversations looking for excuses to get mad so he can turn everything into an argument he can try and win
My build is a LOT different from this, but works just as well. First off, I subsumed Lull off. I find that enemies just shooting you through Elude burns off the Restraint a lot quicker than spam casting Lull. I do prefer to have Duration as I have Gloom on for survivability. Next, three Gladiator mods. It's true that you can't put on Blood Rush on Desert Wind, BUT you can put on Gladiator mods in your frame and it actually works for Desert Wind. The mod I'm getting at here is Gladiator Finesse as it gives you tons of survivability, as once you use Desert Wind, you won't be using your Energy much. Lastly, I have Fragor Prime as my Melee. Reason? Well, it has a starting combo count of 30. With mods, I can get it to 60 IMMEDIATELY in a mission, meaning I don't have to build up combo count for Desert Wind, as it will already get the Gladiator Bonus.
I actually did warcry on Baruuk and called the build "screaming monk" it was some serious dumb fun especially when I had a friend bring Volt into a mission lol outside of that I run gloom just for the pure overkill survivability (yes I know he doesn't need it) and also I ran something else but I forget which ability it was given it's been so long lol
If you also want more crit then use a stat stick with gladiator mods and equip some on baruuk then build up combo on said stat stick and use the desert wind and watch the red crits (idk if the blood rush buff counts as well but if so then use it on the stat stick)
@@CandyFlossEnjoyer because at that point there's no need to even use him, since everything just dies, might as well bring Prisma Gorgon and start spraying. Baruuk shines when stuff gets tough.
already did it but the problem is building for low duration and trying to fight to keep the uptime of the augment going and as a Valkyr main I can say it's not that simple on Baruuk which is hilarious given how easy it is to play melee frames
For one, they stack. Im also pretty sure that Armor only works when your shields are down, whereas DR from abilities is always active. Other than that, its mostly the same, although armor DR is logarithmic, so it has a pretty hard cap and from a certain value onwards, it starts having a lot of diminishing returns, while abilities with DR are usually pretty easy to reach their cap (95%)
@@CandyFlossEnjoyer Sure, you can choose to be a dickhead, too. That works. Love how it answers the question, too. Good luck finishing high school, kiddo.
*Baruuk, how did you become so strong for a Monk?*
_Every time I clear a Steel Path zone...I do ONE push up._
*Dear...GOD.*
I recently did a 1h Steel Path Meso Fissure with a random squad, it was amazing
From what I've heard and tested, Healing Return only works on the actual contact of Desert Wind's punches, not the waves
Was a bug n can confirm works

Love me some Baruuk. Remembering the one time I did an endless and had over 50 daggers. Made him look like a killer chandelier XD
Yes hes strong but the MIGHTY SEER is the secret behind his power

The good old passafist monk, good times playing Baruuk, thank you kindly for the helpful video MC!

By far one of my favorite frames, but it's tricky to use him solo (non-SP) because the enemies die too fast for my liking
I hope your being sarcastic
@@CandyFlossEnjoyer not particularly lol. everything just falls over
@@echotesla9065 bruh killing things faster is almost always good, why tf would you complain about it
@@CandyFlossEnjoyer because at that point there's no need to even use him, since everything just dies, might as well bring Prisma Gorgon and start spraying.
Baruuk shines when stuff gets tough.
You can also subsume Mag's Pull, so you can group up everyone and just blast them to oblivion.
I also LOVE using healing return, I have a Valkyr build with a Helminth Charger and I called the Build: Attack or Die
lov me some reactive storm baruuk chefs kiss
Why is a. Vitality on a non forma place but adaption is
Adaption takes 12 cost as far i know
I love to use Empower helminth ability on Baruuk, works well with his 3rd and 4th
i need to test if endless lul can help keeping restrain low, but i dont really like barruk tbh
yeah baruuk is great, the highest damage i have gotten is 44 million crit hits
update-i have now hit 175 million in a single hit
Why hunter adrenaline? With all the damage reduction you wont get any energy at all?
Wouldn't CO be better than Primed PP (hehe, pp) since Serene storm procs so many effects?
No it wouldn't. I searched online and learned that CO doesn't apply to the waves, only the punches themselves.
Have you tried replacing his one with stynexs armour strip, as it makes barruk in to an acolyte deleting weapon
Without armor strip he can one slide attack to yeeeet the acolyte to another realm
So try this.....Subsume Valkyr War Cry over Elude, and use Eternal War over Hunter Adrenaline. It's nutty.
already did it but the problem is building for low duration and trying to fight to keep the uptime of the augment going and as a Valkyr main I can say it's not that simple on Baruuk which is hilarious given how easy it is to play melee frames
What's the difference between damage reduction abilities and damage reduction provided by armor?
A lot?
For one, they stack. Im also pretty sure that Armor only works when your shields are down, whereas DR from abilities is always active. Other than that, its mostly the same, although armor DR is logarithmic, so it has a pretty hard cap and from a certain value onwards, it starts having a lot of diminishing returns, while abilities with DR are usually pretty easy to reach their cap (95%)
It is much easier to build for DR on abilities effectively vs building for armor. It would take 2800 armor to get 90% DR
How does Baruuk fare against Archons? I've been wondering if I should try Reactive Baruuk sometime.
You must be new to the game lmfao
@@CandyFlossEnjoyer Sure, you can choose to be a dickhead, too. That works. Love how it answers the question, too. Good luck finishing high school, kiddo.
I am not sure if the Archons are immune to Exalted Weapons but it would not work too well anyway.
@@nikosetyris aww did daddy not love you enough? It's ok you don't have to cry to strangers on the internet ❤
not bad, not great, its ok but you wont do much damage
mag’s pull is really great fun on baruuk too
So baruuk does raw dmg same as mesa so why the fuck u got archon vitality there
