Destiny 2 Season of Dawn: The Best & Worst Titan Exotics - Tier List 2020
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- Hello and welcome back to our yearly tier list update. We've added 4 exotics and updated our rankings based on buffs and nerfs over the past year. The tier list is purely focused on how impactful all exotics are in what I deem to be relevant content. That content is: Master Nightfall/Hunts, Garden of Salvation (although you can include most raids in this), Pit of Heresy, and seasonal activities that are of a high light level. I do not rank exotics for low tier content like heroic strikes, patrols, story missions because they are too easy to the point where your exotic choice will have no impact.
However, if you watched last year's tier list or have simply been playing the game over the year, you may notice that not much has changed.
The major adjustments from the previous list are probably Ursa Furiosa dropping massive points and Phoenix Cradle overtaking Hallowfire Heart. Helm of Saint-14 also gained massive points thanks to Weapons of Light. However, old favorites like Doom Fang, Skullfort, One-Eyed Mask still reign supreme over Titan exotic slots.
Below are my tier lists, with 5 being the highest, 1 the lowest. Most of these could be flexed a half of a point or so based on personal preference and some of these have half a point margin of error based on the activity you're in. For example, melee based exotics tend to lose points in Master content due to the risk factor.
PvP List starts at 10:10.

20:57 “Some exotics are just going to be completely helpless without some help”
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.
I dunno bout you but this is the kind of rare blue-quality content I expect from Datto, his way of speaking is precious
people die when they're killed too
Just because you're correct doesn't mean you're right.
Jhalil XVII the archer class really is made of archers
Jhalil XVII just because you’re right doesn’t mean you’re left
Thanks to Actium War Rig I haven't seen Sweet Business' reload animation since 2018.

Datto: "...if you don't want to think at all..."
Titans: "me interested..."
I feel like the fact that you spent 5 games trying to get a clip for one exotic speaks volumes about the state of them.
i am usually very strict with what kind of clips i'm looking for in a video. i just couldn't get into the exact situation i was looking for. for reference, the exotic danny is talking about is crest of alpha lupi with i was playing IB with jez.
As a warlock/ hunter main, always useful to hear what's good on titan because honestly I got no clue for my third character
even i learn a little bit each time i do these. i tend to have preconceived notions about what exotics i think are good and bad over the year and then i'll come back to do these lists and realize that i'm wrong on some stuff.
I like eating crayons
Nick Frank I don’t play titan much but I’m thinking to look out for dunemarchers maybe you should get that also
I really only play titan. I only play as my warlock/hunter to study up on what possible builds players could potentially give me problems with as a titan. Also it told me which stats to prioritize in PvP. Mobility plus at least 6 resilence seems to help counter bunny hoppers and warlocks with thier fancy melees with so much dang range
Datto you are completely wrong on Dunemarchers. Makes me thing you didn’t even bother testing it accurately, or even reading the description of the exotic perk...
It is subclass neutral, gives a sprint and slide boost, and the chain lightning procs on ANY melee, charged or not.
Datto really slept on Dunemarchers with this one
so true. Dunemarchers is easily top tier for pvp. Not necessarily the electricity, but that does help when meleeing(i once got a slayer with just electricity arcing), but the movement boost. Why do u think stompee5s and transversive are soooooo good and used so much? Because a boost in speed is extremely powerful in pvp(also slide distance).
So true!! Dunemarchers are awesome
AztecCross made a pretty good case of the Dunemarchers last year. Kinda (not) surprising that Datto missed the memo.
he obviously barely used them or didnt understand how they work
Dunemarchers are incredibly powerful. Not only is the added sprint speed a plus, but the fact that your SUPER “melee” hits will still proc with Dunemarchers. This is your light attacks during sentinel and fist of havoc.
Not only that - but the amount of chaining is ridiculous. I’ve seen 5-7 chain kills (PVE) that works blindingly faster than arc web on a Warlock.
You don’t even need to have your loaded melee ability. This works for literally any melee, so as long as you’re moving at top speed.
No mention of Xenophage pairing with Actium War Rig makes me sad. You can shoot the entire reserve without reloading. When paired with Divinity this makes for EXCEPTIONAL damage.
Divinity + Xenophage is my clan’s set up to kill the Harpie boss in Garden, so all Titans in the group put on War Rig.
@@LockeWick yeah but it's about exotic armor and not weapons
@@Ghost_Toast5000 except he mentioned pairing it with sweet business... If the exotic armor you're talking about hinges on supporting your weapons then it IS about the weapons.
@Adam Trey, you forget that War Rig is an exotic armor that supports specific weapons. That is the whole point of the exotic armor.
I'm disappointed he didn't mention it either.
*Datto* would you ever do these tier lists for exotic weaponary?
Fluster Cuck he did in D1
Izanagi 5/5
@@henryzelman4541 This isn't D1. Completely different weapon sets.
Zombie obviously... where did he say they were the same?
@@spethmanjones2997 And what makes you think it is constructive to mention a D1 video in a D2 video thread?
The blinding effect on helm of saint 14 really rules when you're dealing with melee mooks like thralls. it will basically CC them so they can't attack and flinch your sniper shots.
Antaeus wards is definitely the most underrated exotic, I know that is hard to use and it’s only fits with only builds makes it a bit unpopular, but people use it wrong, they use it trying to deflect stuff, what I really use it for is the additional damage resistance that it gives, the way I mainly use is for aggressive play, like, I use it with a shotgun, than I slide, take less damage from the other player, end up reflecting some stuff, and it’s a free kill
This season feels like the longest season ever
Barely
Little did he know of the next season
Justin McKinney lol
Wait till he finds out about season 11
Brady Greig lol season of arrivals
I must disagree with the dunemarchers decision, they’re basically Stomp-335 for the titan with the increases to sprint speed and slide distance, and that chain effect works weather you have an active shoulder charge or not easily the second best PvP exotic, behind OEM of course.
I’ve been maining dune marchers lately. The bonus to movement speed and sliding is too much of a sacrifice for me to use OEM. Plus I get amazing kills with the linear actuators and sunspots of bottom tree solar class, it’s crazy how effectively they work together. It’s funny but I can’t use anything else now lol. Feedback fence is my second choice for PvP.
Yea dunemarchers are god tier
10:17 good one you gave them an idea.
Feels bad, definitely the dunemarchers are underrated. You dont need to shoulder charge to chain lightning and can do it indefinitely if you sprint after punching. actually decent for ad clear and can stun many pve enemies. The sprint speed increase us really invaluable for pvp, but this is only my opinion.
I’m a new light player and I watched the old videos but they felt kinda out of date with armor 2.0 and all. I’m so happy you’re going to make updated videos.
Heart of Inmost Light got shafted here, it definitely deserves a 4.5-5 rating. It's so good at literally everything, and for titans at least there's little to no reason to not use it in PvE.
It's basically Hallowfire Heart, but without the charged super requirement and it works for all subclasses.
What subclass would you recommend using Heart of inmost light with, and why?
Hypnottize I always use it on top Tree striker. Two Empowered pulse Grenades deal a shit ton of damage to bosses, and they get recharged fast as well.
Although yes, it does work amazingly on all subclasses, but that's my personal favourite. It may not be that usable on the bosses in GoS, but by god I've never seen more damage on Galhran when I used that combo. Each pulse (when combined with empowered, Striking Hand, and Emperors Shock) deals the same damage as a celestial, and you have TWO of them. Even more if in between damage periods you kill the thrall with your shoulder charge (which also charge and empower your Grenades).
That's one specific scenario where it works really well, but there are so many others where it works wonders as well.
Dunemarchers work with all melee attacks.
Even the throwing hammer. Wanna throw a hammer and chain lightning? That works
I am Thor, God of thunder!
Didnt know they worked with the throwy hammer thats really cool!
how about with a sword?
#OneEyedMaskGang
Idk aeon cult gang is better tbh
Hello Marco
Synthoceps are my favorite all around. Excellent for crowd control in PvE while using to tree void, and I mostly agree with you on it's use with PvP, but you didn't mention (or didn't know) that you can activate it's crowd ability through walls. Extremely useful in control or any objective based map where enemies cluster up.
Can I get an F in chat for “I never see the Antaeus wards”
Peacekeepers still being the most underrated exotic in PvP. If you use them right they are an easy 4/5 in crucible.
I used Peacekeepers for most of Season of Opulence after earning the Recluse. Definitely underrated given the strength of SMGs.
Lol. I use them all the time in PVE with the huckeberry, loaded question and wendigo. Never have to reload.
I always run an Antiope, Recluse, or Huckleberry in Quickplay and man do Peacekeepers absolutely smack. Running double SMG totally axes your range yeah, but if you’re sneaky and can get into close range with everyone you can go on crazy streaks.
Have to agree with this. I have always had one build centered around Peacekeepers, top tree Striker, and high grenade regen. So much fun for lower-level content.
"If you use them right"
Correction: If you use SMGs a lot*
15:10 with subtitles
😅🤣🤣
I don’t understand?
Ugo Agamu it said full penius instead of full melee (he corrected it)
“Complete helpless without some... help” hilarious 😂
I still watch and I'm not even a titan.
ThisChannel IsntLive tips for the future then :)
All of my titan brothers: THOUST INTRUDE ON OUR SACRED ARCHIVES FOR PUNCHING THOU ENEMIES OF HUMANITY????
ThisChannel IsntLive I still watch and I don’t even play this game anymore
Mask of the quiet one is one of the best exotics for solo PVErs. It’s saved me countless times.
Since the overshield on OEM is gone, the health regen should be instant like it used to be so you can actually engage and challenge the next player instead of cowering behind your barricade waiting for your health to regen as your short vengeance buff ticks to zero.
Two things.
1) Khepris Horn can one shot a guardian in PvP. I have footage of someone on the other team in a Comp match wiping out 3 full health guardians by throwing his shield up to guard heavy as we were rushing it. If you play close quarters that exotic is actually very potent.
2. Peregrine Greaves in isolation are just... fine. But when combined with Monte Carlo, it's actually a quite potent build in Master level content. Our strategy for beating the time trials last season, while underleveled, was to use Hammer Strike to one shot the Champions. It puts out a crazy amount of damage, even now after getting nerfed, and while it's a risky move you can also save a ton of special and heavy ammo by Hammerstriking the champions.
Great video as always mate, I would say that I think Dunemarchers with middle-tree sunbreaker is a lot of fun and an add clearing monster. Useful in high difficulty level activities as well with the health regen intrinsically built in to the sub-class
Fun little build I've been using this season:
-Top tree sentinel w/ synthoceps
-python & tractor cannon
Dunemarchers actually works with any titan melee. No mater the sub class. It doesnt even have to be charged. Just as long as you have the static charge built up. Kind of underrated in my opinion.
8:48 you can also pair peregrine greaves with Monte Carlo so you can shoulder charge everything
My fun build:
Sunbreaker: Code of Devastator
Dunemarchers: Melee hits after running grants chain damage, and improves spring speed
Monte Carlo: Doing damage increases melee damage, and kills have a chance to restore melee energy.
In a nutshell, infinite OP melee hammer
Edit: Best build for ad clearing
Good info! I was surprised to hear you skip over Mask of the Quiet One, though: the healing is mediocre, it's the ability regeneration that makes it my go-to neutral game exotic.
And on the topic of Peackeepers, an auto-loading grenade launcher plus an SMG makes a very fun, very aggressive build with little downtime.
Synthoceps are my go to for everything!
My boy!
Same as I. I love my trench barrel Perfect Paradox, so Synthoceps is the perfect mix with it. Easy to stick like glue to a boss and wreck his face.
I love Synths with middle tree Striker. If you ground pound on a point with a bunch of guardians on it, they ALL die :).
Doomfang is my go to for everything, but rn i am using heart of inmost light...and i gotta say its alot of fun
Crooked tongues same! Synthoceps + tractor cannon + python makes out for very good FPS for bosses. Baby throwing hammer when surrounded works great for crucible.
Hey Datto quick correction for you, Sunspots are actually VERY easy to make in PvP because with Shadowkeep launch Bungie made it so that every single guardian kill (including weapons) in PvP creates a Sunspot where they died. However, I believe there is a bug where if you use Phoenix Cradle the Sunspots don’t spawn in PvP.
Also Acrium War Rig is actually best with Xenophage imo.
2.75 for Dunemarchers in PvP? That's a bit harsh.
Very harsh, it's right behind OEM in PvP. It activates on any melee and he didn't even mention the increased slide distance either. I feel like he pre-judged them before giving them a real chance to shine.
I see lots of you guys saying dunemarchers are strong, imma try them out, any advice? Thx
@@giovanniquargentan6198 Overall they boost mobility and the static charge will deal 85 damage to nearby enemies. Can really help with 2v1 shotgunning. Shoot target A, Melee Target B and the chain lightning will finish off Target A. Extremely satisfying to use!
@@xSoulShine mmh ill pair them with a 140 shotgun then thanks
@@giovanniquargentan6198 watch JKirk's video on them, he uses Dunemarchers to their maximum potential.
Another thing to note is that doom fang will give you super energy with an actual melee, so its pretty good for melee builds on ward of dawn thanks to gaining energy back on kills for said melee.
For syntho, using bubble titans are super nice bc once you get a melee kill and gain the over shield, you also gain increased melee dmg, making its biotic enhancements 1 shot everyone, while you also gain hp back from each 1 hit kill. Just an fyi to anyone interested in running them in pvp. (Bottom tree strikers knockout is also a good pair)
One detail you didnt mention is that middle tree striker titan melee gets more returns from synthocepts and dunemarchers. Only 2 enemies need to be near you for this melee to oneshot in PVP while using synthos. The perk can be procced either 5 seconds in advance, or the second you hit the ground with your melee, next to said enemies. It also allows you to instantly follow-up with a melee hit for a guaranteed kill no matter how far away they get pushed from the first hit.
Dunemarchers make it so that if 2 enemies are hit with this melee, 1 is guaranteed to die instantly no matter the resilience. The first target will never instantly die, but any bystanders will automatically be killed. So if 6 enemies are hit with the initial melee, 5 will die. Remember that the dunemarchers perk stays active as long as you stay sprinting , even in the air. The perk only stops if you cease sprinting for 3-5 seconds.
Khephri's Horn may be a novelty, but combined with bottom tree Sunbreaker with Monte Carlo, Martyr's Retribution w/ Demo/Auto Loading, and a LMG with Demo is an insanely fun build for PVP and works well for add clear.
It has been 2 months without touching the game, but I still come here because Datto always had quality content.
This is actually a flex video to show off all the ornaments datto has!
Thanks for the fantastic info :-)
I like it that you and I both share the love for the Crest of Alpha Lupi
As someone who has used CoAL for hundreds of hours, I'm happy to see it get some love. But that said, it doesn't start health regen, it only gives you a chunk of health (still good).
Actium War Rig allows you to dump a full 34 from Xenophage without reloading, which is respectable DPS post buff. It's the most consistent one-phase i've used in either garden boss encounter.
As a new Titan player I had no idea on how good some of these were. Such as my Skullfort I just recently got. So thank you for this list.
My favorite thing to do with the DuneMarchers is use siegebreaker because throwing the hammers as your melee ability also causes the lightening to chain and it chains from the hammer, so if you hit someone with it, and it lands on the ground next to them, they also will get electrocuted lol.
I actually really like Antaeus wards. I main then in PvP. If that dumb misadventure bug was fixed, they would be top tier imo
It’s Glo true, it’s the only reason I remain on Titan at some point
2 months later, still not fixed lol
Kuroino_Ryu nearly cost me my trials game against trueVanguard, I slid over some stairs got shot by his friend by a bastion deflect the bullet into him at the same time I die to misadventure and they win the round
FYI because the rate of fire of Xenophage is slow you can keep shooting it as long as you have bullets with Actium Warig aka auto reload 2.0 pre Shadowkeep
Antaeus Wards are now insane with crytoclasm and shotguns
Oh yes ive been waiting for the profile picture and new exotic tier list
Datto, you're sleeping on synthoceps in PVE. Melee buff is amazing for add clear and survivability with bottom striker and top sentinel. Also boosts super damage quite a bit, right?
Also, one-two punch shotgun+shoulder charge with synthoceps does amazing damage too
I use Mk. 44 as a Stand In (get it) for Skullfort bc of the overshield. Plus I feel like with Skullfort I get in the mindset of shoulder charging 24/7 which honestly hurts more than it helps. And if you pop your super while at full health with a full shoulder charge (it’s a lot of requirements I know) you get an overshield in your super as long as you keep sprinting. So it basically combines Skullfort and Eternal Warrior, but it works with all three subclasses. In pve I rate Mk. 44 over Hallowfire heart because you still get quick access to melting point, but you can actually use your super.
I feel like dato really slept on Ashen Wake for middle tree sunbreaker. Roaring Flames lets it become a one shot alongside your throwing hammer and if you get an arc roll you can use enhanced momentum transfer to keep chaining kills.
synthoceps extra 50% super damage: am I a joke to you??
Monte carlo with synthoceps and ballistic slam is so good for one shotting enemies who group and you'll always have your melee up. Plus being able to dive bomb all the time is really fun
Very excellent and fair analysis Datto. Hope Bungie is watching.
Something I should probably point out about Synthoceps, combined with the ThunderCrash subclass, the melee ability (if surrounded) acts almost like a mini-super. However, having said that, control/iron banner is the only gamemode I would recommend this for.
I’ve used severance enclosure in pvp a little and I feel it’s actually pretty underrated. With shoulder charge, you can just run into groups of enemies and take them all out at once. Also, if you really want to just troll shoulder charge, the stand-aside’s overshield is great. People will keep shooting at you, but you can just keep running forward for that sweet sweet slam
something of a secret perk for the phoenix cradle is that you can get sunspots from rapid kills while you have sun warrior active
Max resilience + Kephri's Horn is a surprisingly fun build, with flamewake grenades and the saint -14 grenade launcher it's even more fun.
Also, dunemarchers isn't shoulder charge specific...the chain will happily proc on middle tree solar's throwing hammer.
Dunemarchers should be a bit higher in pvp imo. The speed boost is hella useful and the ark damage is just icing on the cake!
Synthocepts are great for clearing objectives in PvP, but really only in middle arc. That AoE is great.
Starting a banner match by wiping the enemy team is hilarious.
Saint 14s Helm also blinds while blocking, which turns the banner shield into a roaming, blinding, weapons bubble you can shoot through that can generate extra orbs... Dunno man.
EYYYYY Datto finally has a *channel profile picture* again!
Everyone clap for this man!
Using Peregrine Greaves to one shot Titans inside their bubble was my fave thing this past Iron Banner
In PvP, at least in my experience, (which is 4500 Xbox comp) severance is so good, because if all of the enemies are grouped, you murder one with sc, and everything goes boom, and insta shots those other two.
Antaeus Ward man, remember when it was ruling over pvp??? Dangerous
You forgot to mention that you can still hip-fire while hovering while using Lion Rampant. Normally any form of shooting cancels your jump, using Lion allows you to mimic those pesky warlocks... almost. You still can’t aim while hovering but it’s definitely useful.
War Rig reloads Xenophage faster then it spends ammo. Really good combo using that and auto rifle of your choice. I like to use my Steelfeather with swashbuckler. I also think a great addition to this setup is Martyr's Ret with auto load holster and quick sling on it. Pop a grenade shot and insta switch to Xenophage for a handfull of shots, then back to grenade. You can keep that combo going without reload. Its a hell of a damage punch.
Titan main here, I use Lion Rampant's ONLy for jumping puzzles as it's just a great insurance policy for missing a jump. I use Synthoceps until they give us Wormgod back. I LOVE Wormgod, I'm a yellow-bar hunter with those, smack a few reds, get out my one-two punch shotgun and then throw my hammer - it makes unstoppable's and barrier champions irrelevant.
Really surprised at how little you covered Dunemarchers. Not sure why you noted keywords like “shoulder charge” and “being on the ground” which is incredibly limiting to what they can do.
Middle tree hammers? Sprint and throw your melee hammer at a group of Thrall (you don’t have to be on the ground, you can be in the air) - that single hammer will take out one thrall and chain arc damage and take out MORE than what you’d get from a single hammer in your super from top or bottom tree. I’ve seen chain kills near up to 5-7 in one melee. It’s ridiculously satisfying.
So personal opinion I think Actium is fairly decent in pve when paired with xenophage. Also I feel that a great way to buff the aeon cult pieces is to make ammo drop more often for all teammates the more "cultists" there are. A sort of ruin wing effect for all classes
I've personally been having a great time with Oppressive Darkness Sentinel Titan + Armamentarium. It helps to extend that short lived Void Grenade debuff.
Doom Fang Pauldron are my forever favorite for Titans. I wish they'd hurry up and patch the bug, though. Using the ad-clear portion of the super bugs it out and won't give you super energy on charged melee kills. Using the bubble doesn't seem to break it. Sometimes switching exotics fixes it but not always..
I know you said you weren't talking about seasonal mods. But just to throw out there you can shoulder charge with MK 44 Stand asides and get your melee charge back in full using one of the arc mods. Only requires an orb to proc it.
Severance enclosure + bottom tree striker + warmind cells = Explosions everywhere, superb for ad clearance
OEM has fallen so far from what it was, yet it still scares me
My baby Alpha Lupi finally getting some love out here. Its funny that you mention your transition from AL to OEM because I did the exact opposite towards the end of joker's wild. Also a good build with it is dynamo + battery (I know it's a seasonal but its just too good, great for countersniping.)
Great opinions video! Can’t wait to see the update for Hunters and Warlocks!
I think Ashen wake is perfectly fine. It's a great exotic for grenadier, as the grenades do increased damage on direct hits. Pair it with roaring flames x3 or sun warrior and you can do a large amount of burst damage in pve. In pvp it's my go-to for solar tree as it is a great exotic for finishing half health opponents quickly, on top of creating a sunspot for health and sun warrior.
Ive been hooked on phoenix cradle and love them. Glad to see them make the list
Ever since Weapons of Light was added back into bubbles I’ve only used Helm of Saint-14. It felt good to become a bubble main again like the old days.
I almost shed a tear when he said removing the wall hacks on mask would cripple it, 😪
Datto: Doesn't mention that any melee, doesn't have to be a shoulder charge, will activate Dunemarchers, and the duration to use the perk lasts a good bit.
Me: Okay, I get it, not all of us are lords of lightning
Datto: Doesn't mention the super slam combo with Swolloceps and ballistic slam
Me: Guess he never tried it before in PvP
Datto: Khepris are a novelty exotic
Me: *Khepris, Martyr's, thermite grenades, and bottom tree sunbreaker* "Burn burn burn, set the world on fire". Also, Khepris can one shot kill guardians and also gets buffed from Sunwarrior or Roaring flames, resulting in actually pretty good PvE damage, although it is kind of a gimmick
Datto: OEM is still the best for PvP
Me: Alright you fookin cazul, lemme at em', lemme at em'.
In all seriousness, OEM is good if you are a casual or playing low stakes PvP. But if you are playing against good players, you will either get instantly killed the moment you even stick your toe out the corner, or get your head taken off. Which makes OEM pretty useless. No high tier player in their right mind will give a player the chance to get their health back, let alone take advantage of OEM.
But the biggest crime of the all: Datto dissed my Peacekeepers, which I religiously use in PvP.
But the TRUELY greatest crime of all: Baby hammers can activate the new Titan chest piece, making people explode when they die. If you have roaring flame x1 and pick up a second kill, the roaring flames x2 buff affects the damage of the explosion. You can one hit kill a group of people with a single baby hammer. And with how often people like to clump togther as of late, you'd be surprised at how often I actually managed to pull this off.
Pretty good list. I love using Actuim with MGs now. A dream come true, I've been wanting this and suggesting it for a while now. RIP Ursas though. Still holds value in certain PvR activities, but damn do I feel the difference. I used it to help people in the Thorn strike, especially in the last room. Still works well, but I only get about half my super back on average, compared to full super or almost full.
TheBroTacoGamer lol how long did you spend writing that?
@@beneb8188 Eh, not long, I was typing and listening, so I didn't really waste any time. By the end of the video and getting my thoughts in order, I put my conclusion in there. Also, you know, being fast helps.
Peacekeepers are S-tier in PVP. The movement speed alone is worth it. Stacking this with moving target makes you nearly impossible to track by people who aren't highly skilled, and even skilled players will be thrown off by your strafe speed. This have saved my life on numerous occasions, when I've had to reload and the enemy couldn't even hit me to finish me off. The speed difference is so great that the game increases the FOV when the perk is active because you are too fast to be contained by the default.
They can be used aggressively or defensively. Defensively, there's the auto-loading and the instant swapping, making it so that you are almost never caught out of position by a shotgun wielder barreling into your lane from out of nowhere. You will have a full mag with which to mow them down as you easily outrun them with your backpedal. Aggressively, running 2 SMGs is actually viable, because you basically have a single smg with an unending magazine, and you are faster than anything else on the map, so closing distance, or creating distance after a mistake, has never been easier.
I think people don't like them because they don't have the ease of use of a peak OEM, or flashy ability regen like skullfort or dfp. People just aren't excited about passive ability buffs. And there's a learning curve. It's not that steep, but it does take getting used to being that fast.
@@NotoriousUIG Too bad handcannons dominate so much and the Peacekeepers just don't see the light of day. Most Titans that people see aren't even real Titan, they just hopped aboard when it got strong for a while. Meta hoppers I call them. What ruins this game more than anything is the lack of incentivizing a want to learn. To actually be a better player. I looooove Peacekeepers. I've paired it with Divinity to get the swap fast enough to get long range crits with SMGs. I especially love it with Fighting Lion and using the swap as the means to detonate the Lion and immediately cleaning up. I have a max range Antiope paired with my Calus Mini Tool. And the dumbest, absolute overkill strafe of them all: MIDA combo with moving target on the Minitool.
Though it still isn't as funny to watch as a 10 mobility, keen scout MIDA, Radiant Dance Machine D1 hunter that can crouch strafe faster than people can sprint. Or close to it anyways. Those were good times. Back when people didn't depend on exotic armor to play a single class. Now all you see on the casual masses is Stompies and OEM and Contraverse. What a joke the crucible has come to. And people want Trials back.
Apologizes about going on a bit of a rant. But it just really bothers me at how bland crucible is. I could play it mindlessly and probably pull 30 defeats or more.
Honestly eternal warrior with max resilience when masterworked armor gave damage reduction sounds like the coolest build ever tbh. Especially with infini-kicks tree
Idea for a video: a new review roundup of the year 1 weapons we may have in our Collections that are viable now (even though they are not obtainable anymore). For example, all the Trials weapons... a new look at those would be amazing! Tip: a certain Trial shotgun is kinda OP ;)
I would like to say to anyone wondering about Ashen Wake, if you build around them they can absolutely slap in crucible. It's a very forgiving panic button if you start losing a gunfight.
Hey Datto, just some feedback on your scoring system, I don't really get the point of adding all the decimals when ranking the exotics. When you compare a 3.5 to a 3.75, I ask myself if that information is really THAT relevant to be showing instead of just saying 3.5 or 3-4. It's like when IGN rates a game with an 8.3 and another with an 8.7. Is there REALLY any difference between them, you know?
Other than that, I appreciate you going out of your way to share your thoughts on the exotics and talking more highly about some underrated ones like Crest. Good vid!
Armormentarium also makes your guardian look like a Rambo action movie star
I know how much work goes into this, good job!
My favorite place for Ursa's is Gambit, seeing as I can defend teammates, and I've seen returns up to 3/4 of a super.
Actium War Rig lets you use xenophage without ever reloading. Super nice on damage phases if another teammate has divinity.
Video already outdated on OEM (as im sure you now know). Highlighting instead of marking, and the kill gets you an overshield if you survive that engagement with no healing or additional damage.
Ashen has been improved since this video too to refill grenade energy on grenade kills
For whomever might read this
Interesting change to Actium War Rig. That changes things for Arc burns. Thunderlord is perfectly paired with Actium.
i always run War rig with sweet business and 21 delirium. It is great in PVE and Gambit.
Very excited for hunter exotic tier list. I wont be surprised if stompies gets a higher tier
Wish they’d bring the twilight garrison back
Actium War Rig with a Demolitionist LMG+Armaments is a fun infinite heavy ammo and grenade build. Nothing crazy and tied to certain enemies but it's fun.
Theres nothing quite like throwing molten lava hammers and having those fire hammers chain lightning afterwards, love me some Dune Marchers
Armantarium with middle tree sentinel with over 80 discipline is fun in PVP. Suppressor grenades everywhere. Especially those void detonators.
