Just goes to show how bad Arc Warlock abilities are that nobody uses them enough on Prismatic for this bug to have become public knowledge even after all this time.
I noticed this but ignored it because it still does so little damage and puts you in front of enemies, its just so bad that having it up infinitely still keeps it worse than incinerator snap
I came across this behavior four days into TFS, but couldn't find a use for it and dismissed it. That was before the class items were accessible. Seeing what people have been cooking up in the comments section has encouraged me to revisit this ability and try out some new stuff!
Winters Guile + Vexcalibur was already a pretty decent build on Voidlock. With the right set up, it could and would be even more potent on Prismaticlock. Now we have an infinite melee on top of it. Damn son.
A strange thing is that when song of flame ends, you have a short window to use the melee once more and instead of being a souped up snap it’s chain lightning
I’ve been looking for a warlock melee showcase for YEARS. And when I say melee, I don’t mean using glaives or ranged melees; I don’t wanna throw fire. I wanna throw hands. Starting today, this dream bears form.
Not to be rude but i think you should check out the "Character Selection" screen, there is an option there called "Create character" it has a "+" symbol. Once you click that on the left side you should see a red hexagon labeled "Titan" choose that. If you want to punch that is the punch class. All jokes aside i respect the gumption to look as a "casting" class and want to make it the punching class
I noticed this on launch day of TFS, *however* I found that chain lightning's neutral benefit is so lackluster that even an infinite uptime doesn't beat something like "infinite" snaps or arcane needles. It also goes to show you just how bad chain lightning is that even with an actual *infinite uptime* it completely falls flat in the face of other melees that can only access "infinite" uptime. They could genuinely leave this interaction in the game up until they make the melee better and I don't think it would have an influence on the higher meta.
I think they have bigger problems now with crazy supers like titan captain America doing busted damage and belidorse deleting bosses with broken shatter damage
It's the same melee damage buff that wormgod's caress gives, so somewhere in the 500% ballpark. Haven't checked the actual numbers since they changed it, and made it so it gives less of a bonus when combined with melee damage aspects (mostly targeted at banner of war), but it's very substantial. You can also loop incinerator snaps with guile, if that's more your style.
Give me all of your bacon and eggs.. wait I'm worried what you heard was give me a lot of bacon and eggs, what I said was give me ALL of your bacon and eggs - Ron Swanson
It’s great for ads, but anything other than a red bar is a good way to just essentially be slapping someone with a wet noodle as they kick your shit in unfortunately since you have to be so close.
Prismatic mode chain lightning melee loop is literally what I ran against vespers second boss when I was feeling lazy! Drop the nade and area denial while already prismatic then just meleeeeeeeeee
I found this on launch, its been in the back of my mind since. I figured it would be patched at some point. Honestly I have kinda left it out of builds mostly due to how weird it feels running after enemies as a warlock. Like on titan ill chase a target just to replace his skull with my fist, but warlock chasing feels slow and wrong, even though the speed is the same and the result is the same. IDK lol
It just irks me how it's chain lightning instead of ball lightning. Heck...so mamy abilities got shafted I really would've wanted on prismatic, like solar grenade, instead of heal grenade, coldsnap, instead of dusk field, but....oh well. I stick to the classic sunbracers solar build anyday. But, this build looks like a fun thing to try!
While this is nice, it’s rlly nothing compared to the slide arc melee with crown of tempest while transcendent or with my spirit of necrotic and spirit of synthos item I feel like chain lighting on actual arc is much stronger with the fragments
Chain lighting melee is legit poop! I’am not gonna be close enough in gm’s to even use it. In most endgame content you’ll get clapped trying to use that melee!
As a warlock main, this is fun only on low level contents. On GMS, Raids, boss fights etc,... This tricks is useless. Destiny is s shoot and loot game, and fire arms ALWAYS is the best option to stay alive, and deal lots of damage. Try to punch a tormentor on this week GM.

Arc in general tbh.
@ Yup. Arc is the weakest subclass in the game by far 😔.
Storm grenade and lightning surge are great..other than that lol..yeah. oh tickle hands is good in gms with crown
I noticed this but ignored it because it still does so little damage and puts you in front of enemies, its just so bad that having it up infinitely still keeps it worse than incinerator snap
Today is the day I abandon my incinerator snap for a superior melee ability, the golden kid, chain lightning, ty dude
btw One-Two Punch works with only two warock melees: grapple-meleee and CHAIN LIGHTNING.
And Solipism can drop with Assassin and Synthoceps. And running 3 Heavy Handed mods can reduce the cooldown between activations to 1 second.
Hammers don't work anymore?
@@flameguy3416 "Warlock"
@@flameguy3416 Your brain doesn't work anymore.
@@flameguy3416 brother this is not a titan build lol
Ok now that I’ve seen the video please private it so Bungie never patches it

I've been using it with felwinters helm to jolt and weaken entire rooms
@@blacksepikseye7300 actually smart. Plus, it doesn’t limit you to just your Melee.

@ not to worry friend, that was hilarious
I gotchu. Felwinters helm, lightning surge, arcane needle as your melee, run either Monte Carlo or a pugilist weapon. Enjoy your spicy slide punches
Infinite palpatine hands? Oh yeah, it’s all coming together

infinite snaps would be patch in days lol, that's just song of flame lmao
You had me at "Warlock"
Been using this trick with felwinter's helm!
Oooh, good call! I didn't even think about Felwinter's!
1:02 sir why tf is your melee bind “
Glad someone made this. I ran this for awhile after final shape came out. Never thought anyone would a vid on this
3:15 super clean transition
I didn’t even notice it holy shit
Ok we saw the video.
We can keep hiding this from Bungie now, right? Let warlocks have it?
I think they have bigger problems now with crazy supers like titan captain America doing busted damage and belidorse deleting bosses with broken shatter damage
"We've disabled Warlocks 'Chain Lightning' due to a bug while we continue to look into Sentinel Shield"
How much is the winters guile damage buff vs synthoceps? When I look it up it’ll show the numbers for glaives so is it the same for this?
It's the same melee damage buff that wormgod's caress gives, so somewhere in the 500% ballpark. Haven't checked the actual numbers since they changed it, and made it so it gives less of a bonus when combined with melee damage aspects (mostly targeted at banner of war), but it's very substantial.

I gotta thank u for putting me on this build bro it's amazing, I nicknamed it the prismatic song of arc
Ive always loved chain lightning and had no idea. Thank you destiny prophet
Imma try winters guill with this. I noticed the infinite at the start of final shape and never really looked at it again, thanks for the reminder.
Give me all of your bacon and eggs.. wait I'm worried what you heard was give me a lot of bacon and eggs, what I said was give me ALL of your bacon and eggs - Ron Swanson
microcosm or ergo sum will build transcendence big time
First time , and I watch a lot of build videos, got my sub
Titan main here, didn't know about this. Gonna give it a try and make a build for it, thanks!
Bro's charged melee is on < thats wild
This is news to me. Good news.
Thanks now I know. And knowing is half the battle, G.I Joe!
Sorry, i couldn't help myself. 😂
Bonus points for the Ron Swanson reference, haha!
Wow this might be my new warlock Prismatic build
jumpscare build
So this is why I found all those getaway artist players in the lobby yesterday
man, if people were still playing this game this would pretty popular!
WTF ty for sharing. Hold my beer
definitely trying this, thanks :)
As a Platinum Rewards member of the Snap Skating Program, I never knew about this
Wow you earned a follow. Really cool interaction not even meta. I don’t even play warlock either 😂 does hunter have this interaction anywhere?
I'm sure this video will lead to the the warlock melee nerfs we've all been waiting for.
Nerfs for what? They're dodod
Felwinters Helm go brrrrrr
It’s great for ads, but anything other than a red bar is a good way to just essentially be slapping someone with a wet noodle as they kick your shit in unfortunately since you have to be so close.
I’m thinking I’ll go infinite slide melee build with necrotic to have damage amp up and spread to other enemies! I love the lightning teleport fantasy
been mixing up my warlock and titan little by little but running hunter with zero exotic armor is extremely fun
Could be interesting with felwinters helm
The only true infinite ability spam I know of is combination blow with gambler's dodge
Prismatic mode chain lightning melee loop is literally what I ran against vespers second boss when I was feeling lazy! Drop the nade and area denial while already prismatic then just meleeeeeeeeee
I used necrotic with that strategy cause why not poison the boss, too?
U made me launch the game immediatly ty
New for me, I’m going to try it today
I found this on launch, its been in the back of my mind since. I figured it would be patched at some point.

Insurmountable skull fort has infinite thunder clap
No mention of Felwinters? Damn
i can't believe i didnt know this
It just irks me how it's chain lightning instead of ball lightning.

I stick to the classic sunbracers solar build anyday. But, this build looks like a fun thing to try!
Bruh! I gotta try this💪🔥
NOOOOOOOOO DON’T LET THEM KNOW
only prismatic? 😢
Yeah obviously what are on
Is it just me or does this guy sound ALMOST like moistcritikal
i wish this were ball lightning
Maybe use it in some kind of Grippy Thorn or Grippy Osteo platform?
I knew about this from day 1 and yall JUST found out???
Ah yes… I give this a week now that’s it out in the open.
I just got my Spirit of Ahamkarha and Necrotic! Totally trying this
My favorite build is ursa furiosa and dropping 100+ orbs in a gm
We finally have *unlimited power*
It would be nice if it had some range like every single other warlock melee.
Power of grey skull 💀
While this is nice, it’s rlly nothing compared to the slide arc melee with crown of tempest while transcendent or with my spirit of necrotic and spirit of synthos item
I feel like chain lighting on actual arc is much stronger with the fragments
No infinite? Lorley Splendor and Monte Carlo full solar titan with 100 resilience and the perfect build equals infinite sunspots
Why did you make this public. I was hoping it would just be my little secret. I seriously hope it never gets fixed.
Hmm, already using syntho necro 😊
The fact that having infinite melees still doesn't make it op just show how bad it is.
No cd.... soooo infinite lightning surge??
*including in pvp*
HOLD ON FBI, I AM INNOCENT FOR THIS FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE
Bungie emasculates the Titan shoulder charge and lets this warlock nonsense persist… who paid Bungie off. Whoever you are… thank you!
My secret is out
They will now
Interesting, never used CL bc it just feels bad
4:10 is that a ...cooldown?
Hey, don't look at that! DON'T LOOK!
It happens if you hit an immune ennemy or shield. Any damage dealt with the melee recharges it instantly.
Pls winters build
Interesting.
I work for bungie. This is top priority now 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 fuсk the weekend.
Building transcendence isnt good enough, conduction tines x3 is just better and works all the time, no bar building 😤
Tiggle
+1 sub
No clue. Lol sadly this fact is not alarming
i already do this hehehe

That’s what he said
Omg, I was hoping nobody exposed this trick. I've been using this since tfs. Now it's getting patched. Just thanks smh
Yeah we're going back to the office on Sunday just to patch this fun- i mean terrible exploit.
As long as...
So not infinite then
Also, I don't think you know what infinite means
Otherwise your melee would transcend the entropy of the universe
