Honestly, I could totally see using this for other content where they have those hydra/wyvern bosses where they just CONSTANTLY shoot at you. Be a fun no brain solo run of Spire maybe on the final boss for example
Blight ranger with aggro would do well against the colossus miniboss at the beginning of the proving grounds GM. That thing hits stupidly hard and there are plenty of other annoying spammy ads it would do well against.
@@lostsurferjames5 yes I agree 100%….plus this exotic could create uninterrupted dps during boss encounters as well cuz the focus is on the hunter…. Don’t have to worry about teammates taking damage and having to possibly go into cover
Gathering storm isn't really meant to be damage on its own, it's basically just a giant jolt proc. The super will do more damage based on you continuing to shoot the boss.
This is accurate, I'd hoped that he would have a test on just throwing the staff - and then another test where his 2 team members try to imitate doing a DPS phase while he does nothing, to see how much it increases because the Jolts proccing from the staff (by others damaging it) contribute to the Hunter who threw the Staff's damage numbers.
btw ignitions have a weird bug going on with them causing them to not do as much damage, it could be a bug, or a shadow nerf, but it was never addressed by bungie.
jfc the hunters raging at the "this" part of the sentence. Reminder that since before Light Fall there were complaints about titans losing their identity. chill out with "WAAA THEYRE ALWAYS THE BEST" lol no.
@@LizardOnAMushroom2358 before season of the wish behemoth straight up did not work and the shatters would not stack on single targets. thats why its only real use was cheesing riven. so there is a fair shot you were straight up throwing (granted raids are easy as fuck so idk why you'd get kicked anyway)
@@Ex0dus24bosses can be situational too. Create too many crystals and you’re blocking your teams shots worse than nova. But if they stay in a good spot and your teams not dpsing at the same time in some cases it absolutely slaps
That is because nobody was using it correctly. Everyone would get up in the bosses' face when in reality the whole source of the super's damage relies on shattering crystals. Ruined behemoths whole game and is still a stigma stuck on some titans out there.
For burning maul, the hammer hitting the ground itself has its own damage instance. So doing the slam directly on top of an enemy will milk out a little more damage
@@phoenixred2814 no, I joined during Beyond Light and I’m a Warlock main, but still even my veteran hunter friend has never mentioned this exotic whenever we talk about the game
@@yadeel8281 It destroyed the crucible in year 2. Gwisin vest spectral blade hunters and fist of Havok titans were menaces. The super lasted so long that you could spawn wipe a team run over to the other spawn and wipe the team again. It was horrible lol
One thing about one hit supers is that it allows you to do’s guns while the super does damage. Supers like behemoth of song of flame take the whole damage phase to get max damage. It would be interesting to see full damage with super and weapons
Shouldn’t have tested Twilight Arsenal with thrown axes BECAUSE it is super rare that you can go retrieve and throw your axes during boss dps. Also half of the supers were tested with Radiant active with no rhyme or reason 😅
Personally, I hate the tonics. I despise potion buffs that you always gotta drink before a fight to beat it, I get that it's a cool mechanic to some, but having to constantly do so is tedious and annoying. If they lasted maybe 24hrs, yeah ok I just need to pop one each day. But at that point, why have the waste of time at all? Just give us the full perk without some arbitrary timer on it, because inevitably it'll run out mid-encounter.
I wish they would add an exotic for Chaos Reach or Gathering Storm that made it do more damage and change the color to orange like the dungeon. Seeing how super overcharged arc energy is orange
The orange Arc energy we see Vesper Host isn't super-charged, though. It's an anomaly of arc energy, which even the Bray-tech AI admits is wrong as Arc energy cannot look that color.
@nobodyscomment929 the AI says "power draw of that anomaly is beyond safe limits, arc energy is not supposed to be that color" that pretty much means it is drawing significantly higher than normal power and in it's normal state the anomaly is a blue color like regular arc energy. The orange is from arc energy hitting a higher level energy state like how plasma can change colors depending on the energy levels
@traviszane5334 Honestly, super-charged arc energy being orange in color wouldn't make much sense. If we assume the color of arc energy is the result of the electrons moving from high energy states to lower energy states, than the blue arc energy should be more energetic than orange arc energy, as blue light has a greater frequency, thus energy, than orange light. Though, maybe me trying to justify something so clearly paracausal using real-world physics is pointless endeavor. Even still, I will remain part of the camp that believes that the Anomaly is simply "corrupting" arc energy resulting in its orange look as I find that to be much cooler explanation.
I always thought of Blight Ranger as a "Turn the adds numbers against them" kind of exotic. Like you pop it in a high populated room or area and use the adds damage to kill Champs or majors. Literally all the damage in the room aimed at you (which is a lot sometimes) is focused at a target of your choosing. Thus its lackluster damage in 1v1s because there's only one damage source to draw from. IE; the more damage coming at you = the more damage you'll do.
Ok but like what if, blight ranger taunted enemies so that everything shoots at it? You got an ad dense boss and every red bar is reflecting damage back at the boss? I also think that teammates should be able to hide behind you.
Nah man just revert the entire thing, titan unbreakable’s GRENADE shield (while having the banner super equipped) generates unlimited orbs and has the same amount of duration extension, if not MORE if you cancel it right and that’s still on a grenade cooldown, not a super. Just dump the whole thing at this point an aspect is better than an exotic helmet combined with a bad super. It’s devastating.
Weird but fun damage on a setup specifically for mobbing. Use rime-coat turret on the boss then pop song of flame and spam melee. Surprised me honestly.
the blight ranger results were lowkey interesting, I do see the potential for fights that have a lot of incoming fire if you manage to pull aggro using say an allied titan barricade. I kinda wanna know how much it would have done if he had also gone for the explosion effect after the super was nearly done.
Since Cuirass is super specific, and star eater can be used across any super, I think that it sitting just above star eater on damage for that same super is right where it should be. Team don't nerf cuirass
I am pretty sure that ignitions have been bugged since at least the contest dungeon, I was using dragon's breath on the first encounter during the contest mode, and the first brig would die pretty easy, but then when we would come back from the first room and I would shoot db at the second brig, it would take much longer to die and the third and final brig would be even worse, felt like db was actually doing nothing, I didnt think initially it was a bug and that maybe db was just missing the fire pools or something, but what's happened here would explain why using db felt so bad recently. I was using db regularly before doing the dungeon but I didn't really notice it doing less dmg before then, but for sure at least since the dungeon came out, ignitions have been bugged.
They really need to do more than just buff its damage. It’s gotta have that Bladedancer ranged melee, weaken on hits, SOMETHING to make it more than a sword that uses your super bar
The fact Blight Ranger needs even MORE to make it even slightly good at this point after the rework is just dreadful, why do they hate the helmet so much
@@Jacob-fl1wmthey don’t hate it but making a helmet based around reflecting shit back at the enemies was never going to be strong unless they made it do 20x damage back
That’s supposed to be the whole point of the hunter a glass cannon but clearly they took the super from the hunters and gave it to the crayola crew I guess they just threw the lore accurate side of things right out the window
yeah Raiju's Harness isn't that impressive for damage but thats mainly because it to get half the super energy back, but I actually think it's bugged right now or maybe its like shards of galanor where sometimes it doesn't refund the super energy, because clearly cross got energy back but I've done that in a group of ads and next to bosses and gotten barely any energy back
I'm not even saying still hunt with nighthawk wasn't op, but it was the only viable dps strat on hunter, and now titans do more damage without even having to hit a boss's crit. It just feels bad when there is nothing to replace it and hunters are just straight outclassed at everything in every circumstance. The buffs to various subclass features and exotics do more to make me laugh than they do to improve Hunter's kit.
Really wish Bungie would add more to prismatic kits already. New exotic class combos when? Add existing supers? Blade barrage on hunter would be nice. Or hell, steal the supers from destiny rising lol.
...You say that, but Hunters have been the meta for damage for a while. It peaked with Celestial+Still Hunt in Salvations Edge, where the Titan presence was nonexistent. Celestial literally just got nerfed by 5% vs Bosses to bring it closer in line regarding ease of use vs output.
@@stevenkhan4203they were meta for damage for 3 MONTHS. Get real. Titans were DPS meta for almost a year with strand titan. Hunters aren’t allowed to have anything man.
Nighthawk now does less damage than a basic novabomb. This is what happens when devs give into a vocal minority. The majority of the playerbase (Hunters) get shafted and are left with no role to fill in the sandbox.
I’d never thought I’d see the day where there’d be a super used in the same way as ursa furiosa sentinel and be effective. Sure there’s well and, well not really bubble. But a defensive blocking super for hunters? Cool.
16:31 The nice thing about Blight Ranger is that it doubles as a defensive super. So if you’re up against a boss and their posse that won’t stop firing at you, one hunter can effect all that firepower back at the boss while everyone else does DPS Edit: Traveler damnit, I’ve gone and started another comments section holy war. Third one this month.
@@IceColdKillaTrav if you think it sucks then that’s your loss. I never said it did good damage or to use it against a boss. I said if you’re going to be defensive, then you might as well use unbreakable and deal 20-30k dmg instead of using blight ranger and your super to deflect maybe 5k dmg unless you’re fighting an ogre.
THAT's why I've been struggling trying to solo the dungeon with Song of Flame. I was wondering why those damned brigs weren't dying as fast as they should
I know it wasn’t a change, but I’ll mention it anyways… I was very surprised with the damage the strand hunter super heavy attack spam does against the servitor in the dungeon
Blight ranger could actually have some build potential. cancel the super right at the tail end of the super. pair something like Wardcliff and see what the damage proc could do. ngl, sounds like it could cook on paper.
I swear if warlocks cried like titans do whenever their supers are lacking, we would have a dmg buff for chaos reach already. CRY LOUDER WARLOCKS WE NEED THIS!!!
im not sure if the ignition nerf is intentional or not but i finally get to go back to young amkara spine trip mine build and if feels off... this explains it
Been loving my spirit of star eater + eternal warrior since I got it. Think it was like my 4th class item. Also is great to quick swap now that I have spirit of syntho + hoil.
could the Solar surge be the cause of the nerf? i do not know the numbers but its kinda seems like ignition is getting nerfed by what should be buffing it
God they NEED to do something to make spectral blade not be shit. It was good for like 1 patch with gwisin and then since then it's had no purpose. Giving it stacking damage bumps, but the targeting needs to be fixed. Sucks so hard that such a cool super is essentially useless across the board.
Spelling and grammar errors will be seen here: For spectral blades I hope Bungie makes the two knifes become something huge that sacrifices movement for damage like a two part staff or becoming one giant sword void slash For the shield throw i hope they make it into a giant shield that scarifies bouncing for on target damage For nova warp i hope they make it a literal bomb by scarfing teleportation for an immense charged explosion All of these could be tied to exotics All of these turns those supers into one and done supers And all of these could be reason to run those supers and not constantly buff those exact suppers and also have them viable in pve plus it provides a grind for people while at the same time giving people something new to play with ill probably post this on Twitter or something or better yet steal the idea yes you the person reading this can share this to bungie No legal repercussions because i just enjoy playing the game but this also provides bungie a way of giving something new from old items while at the same time providing content for the community but also lessens bungies work load by not having to dropping a major expansion to do it Do not copy bottom if you want to steal idea . To sum it up dont be stupid read the rest if you want im out: (BUT OF COURSE REALIZE EVEN IF THEY DO ADD IT THE IDEA MIGHT HE DIFFERENT OR SOMETHING BUT IT TAKES TIME AND WILL NOT BE DONE OVER NIGHT even if my idea gets 0 attention last thing i want is somebody screaming death threats at Bungie because people couldn't control themselves for an idea they might want in game have a great day everybody im out)
Finally, someone with a bit of sense - not sure why everyones hollering like its just broke the game, its been made even more niche than it used to be at this point
Cross, brother!! You are testing Winter's Wrath wrong! You can just shoot one pair, instead of the two pairs, of freezing projectiles by shooting and immediately triggering the shatter... This will increase the super uptime by quite a bit
Why did you not try Titan super with regular synthoceps seeing as it also buffs melee and super attacks compared to the class item which also buffs melee attacks when surrounded, I have been hitting 800k thunder crashes with synthoceps arms
