Ranking Every Relevant Damage Rotation Before The Final Shape 

Some of the images are incorrect in some of these rotations - I'm sure you guys can tell which, but just in case, all the correct loadouts are in fact in the Ranking tab if you need to confirm a piece of equipment :) Also, a lot of people asking for this: github.com/A2TC-YT/Destiny-Damage-Tracker

"Horseman Impetus Edge" Is the kinda thing those pills at gas stations are called. Hopefully these damage rotations will give me the same results.

Horseman surrounded crux: Aka kicked from lfg any%

Gonna instruct my little league raid team like a college professor with this

TL:DR Hunters: For total damage, use the chicken rotation For dps with a splash of total, use the horseman impetus edge For raw burst use the parasite horseman dump Titans: Hehe punch Warlocks: If not well, izi nessa edge necrotic will be your friend If well use wither 140 bns edge with rain of fire

I'm really happy to see that this video out of all of them all is getting algo'd. The wider community needs to understand what real DPS looks like and I hope a few of them have their eyes opened. Great video, even if "Horseman Impetus Edge" sounds like a hardcore Friday night alone lmfao

I commend your valiant effort in the face of Aztecross machine gun dps videos with 800k total damage topping the charts

Massive respect for the time it took to test all this and get the data into an extremely easily read format. Thanks aegis!

Sending this to my friends so all of this information can go in one ear out the other

im really curious to see if prismatic replaces certain subclasses for damage rotations. like prismatic hunter has access to goldie so it can do nighthawk swaps, and prismatic warlock has access to needlestorm etc. assuming grapple melee doesn’t get completely gutted combination blow might work with it as well

Been waiting for you to drop another dps rotation video 🔥🔥 me and the boys just been living in the spreadsheet the last few weeks

Whats the roll to go for on nessas for the izi nessa edge necrotic rotation? also how much worse is envious/bns compared to cascade/bns on edge transit? My best roll is envious/bns, am i cooked?

This is very helpful, thanks for spending the time on making this.

You're a legend. Been waiting for something like this for a long time. Your service is appreciated!

This is absolutely incredible and i trully trully appreciate the effort you put into this. Subbed.

most informative content in the community. another great video eggis

I was waiting to see Chickens damage rotations and I’m glad they’re so high up

Thanks for this list. Amazing how Deeps change over time.

Nice video. Thanks for all the work. I'm so glad Chicken is getting the recognition he deserves

Underrated asf. Your video quality is exceptionally high. A true endgame endGAMER

Legit the only channel i have the bell on for. Quality stuff.

The depth of these vids is insane. Was looking for whether I should continue using wither or Izzy rotations on my strand lock but after seeing this vid I’ll probably be running lumina cold comfort for final shape raid.

No way I watched this whole video just to have Excluded hit the griddy on us in the last 30 seconds

Its so funny how PUNCHING is just so effective in this game

Horseman impetus edge looks like a lot of fun. Cheers for sharing that one in particular Aegis.

Hey man can I say how awesome your vids are? Please keep it up I just found your channel in the past week and you've been more helpfull/informative than the vast majority of Dyoutubers

Thanks for uploading! This is great!

wow this is an epic research project, thank you so much.

praying bungie gives titan a reload exoitc, since after grapple melee nerf well be stuck with standart dps swapping rotations :(

i look forward to ur videos big time thanks for helping me optimize

Great work as always!

The follow through is invredible!

Your hard work to provide us this information is extremely appreciated, would you ever consider doing an episode of the podcast, Podcast Versus Enemies, on Destiny Massive Breakdowns? I feel like your styles mesh extremely well!

Thank you so much for all the resources, you've put out so much info already but other vids I would def be interested in: Recommended loadouts/rotations where you have sacrificed a weapon slot for add clear/objectives. I'm, mostly a solo joining pugs or pulling more casual friends and I don't think I'm personally good enough to be doing loadout swaps AND generating enough ammo and super for something like izi/shotgun or witherhoard/sniper WHILE ALSO trying to carry objectives when the groups I play with are extremely random. Recommended loadouts split by either particular fights or DPS lengths, ie: - Recs for generic 15-30s damage dump (atheon, rhulk, captain avarokk) - recs for staggered damage phases (caretaker, planets, taniks, golgoroth) - Close Range / Long range / No Precision vs Precision Multiplier fights / Wizard floating in the sky swinging back and forth Total Damage recs when you need to carry a fireteam & PUG recs for what you would bring when you either need to carry underperforming members with total damage or what you would bring to a group who might be missing support or debuff options. I can and do cobble stuff together based on what you've made for everyones vs what I'm comfortable doing myself, but I also just enjoy watching videos on these topics. thanks again d( '.' )b

Commenting for the algorithm. Another absolute banger, thank you for making this!

You are the goat of destiny stats!

Hey Aegis, this is absolutely HUGE! Is there a way for us to see the rolls you're using on certain weapons in the spreadsheet? Or am I blind 😵‍💫

The grapple melee rotations look so satisfying

You absolutely love to see it

120k views already. Aegis popping off

For us visual learners, this was a great video. Thx 4 the extra effort

words cannot describe how surprised i am that wormgod grapple melee topped the charts /s

Ngl aegis putting the most effort I’ve seen into destiny rn bro deserves more subs

Supercluster about to have a glow up in TFS since it can get Surrounded or Vorpal with Reconstruction

Great video and thank you

Much appreciated 🙏

Brilliant video

aegis is the freaking 🐐 man

Having both loadouts being on there is such a great additive and qol

The crux rotation was fun to watch on stream lol

baby wake up Aegis dropped another vid

This is really cool. I'm sure you'll tighten this up, but it's effective. I didn't know about the witherhoard, cartesion, apex rota and it was really helpful for some farming. Simple but effective. Need to rework some of my others here.

Thanks for the video dude! Personally i love foetracer, horseman with goldtusk. Love it for sword damage 👌

How are you getting nade energy back that fast on the necrotic rotations in order to reload from the grapple multiple times?

why isn't RU-vid suggesting your content??? was searching for a video like this for ages.

CHICKEN SI-2 MENTIONED 🗣🗣🗣

I like these type of videos, and appreciate the amount of work you put into them, you would consider trying a stasis hunter with wardens law, devils ruin and I’ve been using cascade bns edge transit, with a solar holster mod on, started using devils ruin as a back up for when had no special ammo to keep a rotation going

great videos so much information appreciate all the work you put in to this. with the deconstruct nerf what's the next best edge rolls cascade and bait ? or envious and bait ? thank you

Hello, love your channel a ton, very interesting content and thankful for your interesting analysis and insight on destiny with such a technical pov in pve. Tho I am very curious in the last clip presented with speedruning Kings fall, to be precise the part where you(titan) use its class unique glaive and set up a mini-bubble in a location, could you please explain if there's a certain gimmick involved in doing that, or its purely for players to stack without danger ?

This is definitely one of the most unique meta’s we’ve been in with the best options being HEAVILY dependent on the boss encounter with regards to range and boss movement. Also deconstruct has INSANE total damage for a spike edge GL giving it about 60% more total damage. (Mag dependent 4 mag gives 75% and 6 mag giving 60%). Unfortunately bungo is nerfing its ability to get ammo from thin air next season so its not even worth testing anymore

Thank mr.ageis

"Their favorite child" LOL

Guess who’s back, back again, Horseman’s back, tell a friend.

Wow what perfect timing

gonna link this vid to all the thunderlord and retrofit defenders

I very much look forward to your investigation to the machinegun damage issue. Retrofit's dps seems much lower here than in your old spreadsheet.

I do have a logistical question, how do you run double special? swap to double special loadout right before damage? having ammo laying around?

I knew it that strand Titan was gonna be in here, it’s like the best Titan dps thing you can do

my king

I think a lot of us would really appreciate the Day 1 video as a top priority to give teams time for practice and such

Great video, do you think a chill clip autoloading lingering dread would be a good alternative to mountain top for the edge transit/horseman rotation? Just to keep the slow more consistent

Whats the deal with Nessa all of a sudden? I always thought it was a pretty meh shotgun, and you gave it a C on your tier list a while back. Did it get a major buff or something? Or is it purely for void matching with Edge Transit?

aegis my beloved

Hey guys a stupid question here. The strand warlock rocket/gl build, why necrotic grip? It doesn’t seem to have any good function?

Is this highest DPS damage rotation a Well-lock can run Izi 140 edge? I assume Icarus CD is too long for horseman impetus edge right?

It will be interesting to see now that gls are the default , it frees up the potential for alot more funny non stackable dps options. Most notably dragon's breath. It will be intersting to see dragon's breath in a real rotation to see if is at all viable for even just a single person to use compared to the other stuff. (like double slug or double pellet)

A build I used to use was witherhoard special gl and cold comfort(envious bait) with strand and rain of fire for pure rocket spam.

YES ITS HERE

two questions, when you swap to dps loadouts, what makes ammo go to zero or very low? is it swapping from primary to special? how to avoid it? and also idk why Impetus is super iffy for me. barely reloads my weapons when I use it. i know there's a cooldown but it still seems to almost never work

I was actually so curious to see them done in game, if you don't mind me asking, what are your recommendations for pantheon this upcoming tuesday? It will be 20 under with so many different bosses, what loadouts do you think would work best for getting the optimal damage to make plat time?

“Me n Mars kissing is the aegis dps testing”

Hello dr aegis, thoughts on a braytech osprey with impact casing, field prep and envious in first column + bipod in second?

i havent used a slug shotgun in a while, but do rotations using those generally require a lunafaction to boost range? and if too far of a boss, what general loadout would you recommend?

How are you swapping exotic armor mid damage without using in game preset build? Is it through DIM? I’ve only just recently got into raiding, looking for any help.

new ranking video letsgooo

great info. ty

Hello Sir, I was messing around with the Graphing data, however, for Malfeasance Edge, at 3.187s the total damage is lower than that of 3.125s, same phenomena happened multiple times for Malfeasance Edge column, and once for Legend of Acrius, are those inherent bug that the game shows wrong damage or wrong data get filled in the rows?

You're the best!

Aegis, what is giving you the large "chunk" of grenade energy when doing the Izzy Nessa Edge rotation? After grappling, your grenade seems to go instantly back to about 40%, doesn't seem to be a kickstart mod since you retain armor charges and I can't figure out what would be causing that.

my goat

Why not wild style over wilderflight when pairing with a solar heavy? I know damage perks suck but would it not be more worthwhile matching surges for 22% compared to the 15 of vorpal/frenzy?

In your Verity's Apex clip, how are you getting your fusion grenades back so quickly? Is there a second Warlock with Verity's recharging it?

Pretty sure I don't have the hand eye coordination for some of these, but the whole breakdown is really cool. Additionally, I noticed that Magnificent Howl can stack with the boost from Lucky Pants, and due to the way the perk activation works where it triggers on a full reload, you can... "engineer" a situation where you have a full stack of 10 Mag Howl bullets pretty consistently via reloader mods. Maybe if we get the perk on a kinetic weapon in the future, it might be worth attempting over Warden's Law? (as is, it's still stupid-good as a boost to a solar hunter rotation)

Was nice to see the horseman in gameplay for a change.

GOATED

Thanks, was looking forward to this. When you look at things again next would you include a Dragon's Breath rotation. I know it doesn't scale well into group content but I'm curious how things like Dragon's Breath with warden's law or Dragon's Breath with supremacy compare to these.

The conclusso rotation reigns supreme

really curious when and how to swap to these dps build in raid situation while some of them are hard to do the ad clear

Is there any reason to use Ikelos (other than it´s crafteable/enhanceabled) over others shotguns for 1-2 punch?

probably dumb question but how are you getting the grapple points for your strand warlock rotations?
