To anyone concerned about the upcoming tweaks to this build: 1. It will very likely still be usable, will just require more precise positioning 2. Even if it doesnt end up being usable, better to mess around with it and use it to beat pantheon over the next 10 days than to never touch it at all ;) Have fun!
You should do a build critique series. Where you and maybe a or some other build creators review and give a few options for builds in the works or that are from new/ returning players
Lmao right? Wonder if there will be a good replacement, at least for how quickly you get supers back. I doubt we'll get the same for both super speed up AND damage
I have a build for you! A fun titan build I call "Strike the Match" It involves running Tommy's Matchbook on Solar Titan with Actium War Rig. Run this with a healing grenade, because the fragments are Ember of Empyrean, Ember of Torches, Ember of Ashes, and Ember of Searing. Weapons: I'm using a recombination autoloading mountaintop, Tommy's Matchbook, and a heavy of your choice. For armor mods: Helmet has two solar syphons and a heavy handed mod (harmonic works too!) Arms have impact induction x2 and a solar loarder (harmonic works too) Chest is resistances as you need for the activity Legs, run double solar surge (or 3x if you have the space, I don't for the build). Class item, time dilation, outreach, and recuperation/better already. Make sure to be running the solar artifact mods. Important ones: Kindling Trigger Flint Striker Rays of Precision All of this allows for a fun and VERY STRONG build for anything ranging from Onslaught to Master Lost Sectors (and even GMS!) Gameplay loop is as follows: Find some red-bar adds. Throw your healing grenade, then start hip-firing Tommy's. Each kill you get extends restoration, negating Tommy's self damage. And because you have Actium, you very rarely run out of ammo. Each kill you get, if a Precision kill, causes the enemy to ignite and explode. And every enemy to spray and pray, will eventually explode too because of the scorch stacks building up whenever you're radiant! Overall it's a ton of fun, and really works well in any content! All the best, and love your vids btw!
For those afraid of the words "To make this work your gonna need friends", you don't. I made an lfg post in the big d2 lfg, within seconds I had a group of all hunters ready to do this. Just put yourself out there and give it a go.
Thanks for setting the class build info on the side with the armor mods on the other half of the screen. It's much easier to snag a screen shot to use while buildcrafting this.
If you have leg armour mods that pick up orbs, then you'll be picking them up even when your super is full. You need to remove them and then pick up orbs to get your super back.
"I think we'll be fine." coming up repeatedly when things were indeed not fine, says to me that Mactics either has an editor who enjoys Mac's misery, or Mac himself editing the videos (which I think is something I recall him saying he did?) just finding it hilarious himself. And both are scenarios I can get behind.
World record on full Pantheon was just set using this on a good chunk of the bosses in sub 26 minutes. Heck it was 6 of them on Nez 😅 Eating a nerf alongside Syntho/Wormgod + Banner, Ceno, and Sunbracers for a good reason
Cool that finally somebody made a longer clip about this build, bc timing of dodges mods and walking while in super can all mess it up. Would be very cool if someone can get more info about the „still orb picking up while super is full and with 4 stacks“ problem. Then it would be even stronger. Im also concerned about the changes they do to stareaters and marksman and if its still possible then. Overall I feel builds that require team setup should be stronger and should be discussed/tested more from streamers like you. Great work mac
@@MCSantani don't need to do math. The new orbs you make will only give 46% of energy they used to. The additional energy from star eaters is going from 2-0.5% extra. It won't be possible or else these changes make no difference.
So something that is important for this build you need to make sure you dont have a weapon with explosive light on it. Also you need to make sure in the artifact that you arent using argent ordinance and or the on that gives unraveling rounds
I have a build it's assassins cowl and wish keeper with strand it's pretty much infinite murder children, invis, and suspensions. I have only used it in hunter so far but you can tweak it all you need I will send details when I can (if you are interested comment or Smthn and after I get home on Sunday I will send it in the will it build section)
I THINK star eater scales with gathering storm is insanely powerful for bosses. I just came back and im not too caught up, buti ran this with my friends using their top tier stuff and I was slightly above in dps consistently
the best build in the entire game is strand titan with precious scars, banner of war and buried bloodline. you have banner healing, devour and restoration all going at the same time its hard to die.
I have a build idea it uses hunter foe tracer and the best rocket that the surge for pantheon has if no surge apex predator and also argent ordnance for I think already a 85% then a well and tether for 135% extra damage and uses Izzy rocket swapping and the best part is if it’s void surge run tether and then other people can run other builds if arc gathering storm and if solar golden gun
IMO it's better to not run any mods like on the boots that will allow you to pick up orbs during your super or when it's full. You can waste orbs that way and pick up more orbs than you need instead of leaving them on the ground for your next one.
My Pantheon team copied your build to a T and we had considerable difficulty replicating the orb sharing to regenerate the super like in this video. After multiple attempts of failing at this at Nezerac we paused, all of us watched the video once again, rechecked all of our builds, rechecked our positioning and still could not get it. Some damage phases 1-2 people got super back some phases nobody got it back. We just could not figure it out.
Damnn….. this is nuts, I heard ppl were trying this on Nezzy, but hadn’t seen it. Week 4 Planets is the only encounter I have left for godslayer. LfG has been such a nightmare 😂😂 Anyone wanna run this strat with me? This looks clean
If the game didn't pick up orbs after you had a maximum super and didn't need orbs to refresh buffs, it would actually be a lot of golden guns, but because you pick them all up and the range you pick them up is pretty large it kind of diminishes the build damage potential.
I just watch your videos in general not really interested in the build. However, the 5 head about powerful attraction and orbs of restoration made all of my builds that use dodge as the main course 20 times better, thank you
you were doing it wrong you have to take off all orb generating mods off your legs so when in your super you don't grab the orbs so any armor charge mods kickstarts stack on stacks all have to be off because you are wasting orb consumption in your super
Don’t think it works on console tbh, my team don’t seem to be able to get our orbs to gen and give us super energy, taken all orb consumption mods off, maybe it’s been soft patched
looking at the numbers, it will still very much be viable. going to have to be a bit more precise and particular with positioning but will still be do-able. and even if it wasnt, would rather have fun with something for 1 week than not at all.
The thing that sucks about this build is the fact you pickup orbs whilst using super, meaning the orbs are wasted orbs. As your super bar drains between golden gun shots, orbs are being collected and are doing nothing (i.e., wasted orbs). Overall a "meh!" build.
While in super you wont pick up any orbs if you have the build right. No surge mods, no fonts, no kickstarts, etc. Also you cant have an explosive light weapon equiped and finally in the artifact you cant have argent ordinance or unravelling orbs. Yes you will pick up orbs if your super is full and you havent activated it yet with the insulation and restoration leg mods but thats why the hunters sync up on start. 3,2,1 pop super. Now since all the hunters are in super you wont pick up the orbs that are created until you are done with your super
And trying to get 5 people running hunter golden gun in a raid is nearly impossible. The majority of players don't get paid to play d2 or have dedicated fireteams to raid. In a perfect world, sure, but this build is very niche.
Will it build? Yes Will it build in 10 days time? Nah 😂 Its interesting though, its comfortable easy damage but its still not as good at chunking bosses than just a fireteam running good weapon rotations
it's still gonna work extremely well regardless of nerfs...it just won't be quite as easy...and obviously several other 'meta's' will emerge and require nerfs after tfs drops...so there's that
So I have a solar titan ignition build that has been carrying my teammates, like I got 1000 kills in onslaught while my teammates only had 400 combined, and honestly its just really fun, just hold down the trigger
