@@fotis3v480 the nerf to prismatic Hunters isn't even in the game yet. Bungie said the nerf is coming at the 6th of august and they nerf the tracking of swarm grenades and the Clones
A secret about the melee charges is that the more you have, the faster they charge, I always try to only use my third charge and wait for it to regen, it takes around 15 seconds for it to charge fully again with 100 strenght :) Also as a 4th option for the exotic slot, Swarmers is a MUST TRY. Threadlings unravel and if you use grapple you will spawn 2 extra threadlings when you hit someone or when you destroy a tangle. Anything that is Unraveled will give you a Tangle! Most broken build in the entire game, glad to see it getting love! Great vid! I will try Transversive Steps after watching it
The biggest reason I see why people are not using it, is because the prism hunter itself can spawn a decoy which forces swarm nades to track to it instead of the player, while also getting to do the combo themselves
The problem I have with that is that the longer range gives the target more time to hide, I get it's weaker at close range but zero damage at 2:00 seems egregious xd
Edit: Claw of Ahamkara is good for longer matches like Control and such. So using it can be fun. Im hoping they buff Claw of Ahamkara to work like "Threading dmg grants melee energy" and then you can have a near infinite weavewalk tech Additional Funny: Use Dawn Chorus and Skyburners hipfire to make constant melee energy
If you scorch a target and then weave walk your threadlings will unperch and rain down upon your enemies (granted they do less damage). Dawn chorus and dragon's breath were my go to strand exotics for pve because of this until the exotic chest piece dropped .
With eye of another world it basically puts t10 strength to t13 beyond the cap and since with higher strength the melee charges are used slower which does work with this technical t13 so not only are your melees charging faster but they also take longer to use up which makes them better than claws + currently idk if this is happening with the exotic itself but the spirit loses the second melee charge if you die
Man, its a shame that they nerfed threadlings so much (thanks threaded specter) that weavewalk is really the only powerful and unique thing left in the kit.
@@khamok6916 Not fast enough, dodge is faster and barricade is literally slamming a wall between you and your enemy. I always used it as more of a traversal tool than a disengage, blink is better at it.
I was in that .4% for strand titan! I was on a precious scars kit with the main spice being tessalation so all three of my weapons could proc restoration
@@grouthorax3963 It's very average tbh it's for the most part a fusion rifle with demo in most cases. If you can afford to give up the grenade for the super shot it used for 1 of 2 things: Punishing people for standing still at longer ranges or the main purpose; being able to one tap anyone out of super (except for bubble titan) if you can land the direct hit. Just remember that the super shot doesn't have any homing properties like jotunn would have so you need to be very precise to hit your mark
Fun fact, if you run Rain of Fire with a harmony 120 hand cannon (like the strand Round Robin) you can create a 2 tap build just by getting a fusion rifle kill. This also lets you dip into the 1 tap tangle artifact mod if you use the Round Robin for the setup
At 7:45 , you can hold your uncharge melee button while cancel the Weave, it will immediately follow up with a quick punch (As fast as Titan stasis melee's follow up punch) to finish him off. It's the fastest way to deal dmg after Weave. Using Vesper of Radius is decent for using with the Rift threading, not as good as Transversive in neutral gameplay tho
Fun alt to this build is drang w navigator. Woven plus weave walk is crazy dr. The free grapple point from nav catalyst is a pseudo (that one strand hunter aspect that gives you two grapple Grenades and they make points). Weave walk to rank special apes and then drang to clean them up. Navigator is a surprising ranged duelist gun.
Dude watching you just stand there between your ally and opponent while the opponent FREAKS OUT made me want to create a warlock just to try that one specific move out
So doing the math (41% of 51%) there is the same amount of prismatic hunters then there are titans in general, prism hunter is more popular then the entire titan class
for the warlock prismatic build in your gauntlet video may i suggest necrotics (potentially with synthos), arcane needle and lightnight surge with thorn and explosive personality. pretty much a combo of two builds. can do the insta kill combo with the ranged melee and GL and can slide into folk for huge damage, jolt and poison. also buffs thorn up nicely too. could pair it with bleak watcher or threadlings for extra pressure on enemies too. Great video as always 👍
I’ve been playing with this build and practicing for the last month or so and it feels soooo good against prism hunters. It’s also just fun to play and feels like the subclass and play style has a really fun skill ceiling to try to reach. 10/10 would recommend
First video of yours that I've seen and really enjoyed it. Really awesome idea to use it as a sponge for swarm nades! Great no-bullshit breakdown and solid explanation of how to get the most out of it. ++ Nice job!
Weavewalk was my favorite aspect on strand, singlehandedly made it worth the trouble. Didn't think about the PvP viability (since I only ever play PvE) but I know what to do if I ever try PvP...
@@EatYoWaffles with whisper of hedrons and enough void targeting mods you can hipfire it with the same accuracy as a slug but up to like 20 meters lol. You have to aim pretty high to get the headshot though.
For 6s I've been liking using secant filaments with weavewalk. Being able to have a mini-prismatic interaction on strand is super nice. Plus devour let's you tank your grenade stats while having decent uptime. The only thing that makes me switch off this class is the god awful super.
I’ve been winning a ton with speaker sight and igneus, worked especially well on this map, paired with forerunner keeping ammo between rounds you just win every 1v1. Absolutely going to have to do LF campaign on my warlock now though to get weavewalk, might pair it with my immortal for some aggressive plays with transversive steps. Also, got my first gilded flawless this episode.
Putting aside the incredibly useful information packaged nicely into an easy to consume video, I would love to know the music you used in the video. I replayed it just to hear those jams again lmao, particularly the last one.
Best I've come up with is throwing a witherhorde at my feet, then performing mitosis, and my strand clone eats them. If I can get the stupid prismatic hunters at 50% or below, my clone can eat them regardless. Trades are better than letting them get 3 free kills with teleporting spinny poledancer super.
Ohoho it's my time to shine. Cursed build that I mained back when I played PvP, before the threadling nerfs. Run Skyburner's with Dawn Chorus. Back then, and probably still now, it was bugged and gave you 3x melee energy per scorch tick. Essentially, tag em with Skyburner's hipfire, you get free melee energy, and the god-tier poke of the explosive scorching rounds. If you are in CQC, tag em with a hipfire, go into weavewalk, and laugh as your threadlings jump off and attack, as DoT has funny interactions with weavewalk.
''ANd that option was, don't roll your eyes.... Tsteps'' why would I? The entire video I am watching and thinking this would pair perfectly with Tsteps lol, the pushing with slopes playstyle just instantly clicked when I thought about what pairs with Weavewalk.
In comp I’ve run into several individuals that were running your build (Me being the hunter throwing random bullshit), great counter. Not invincible by any means, *cough cough* *conditional finality*.
Great video, love the showcase of alternate exotics for this. I've got a question about stats. Given how stat distribution works on armor, trying to also fit in 100 intellect into this build for Trials is going to be a stretch if we're targeting 100 strength. Would it just be better to focus on resil/recov/strength at that point? Also, how does this build fare against 3 players with 100 intellect, or does the weavewalk combo more than make up for the enemy team getting their supers first?
Great questions-my stat priority would be 100/100 in recov and strength, then resil (I run 7) then the rest into intellect (I have 6 or 7 I think). I didn’t have any issue keeping up with supers, but tbh Needlestorm is such a dice roll that I could totally understand putting that into discipline instead. I think weavewalk helps with *building* super just cause you take a bunch of damage and live, but against supers the damage resist is reduced pretty heavily. There are a few super light attacks you could probably eat one of (spectral blade, Goldie body shot, etc) but overall it’s usually a losing matchup
It like rock paper scissors. Titans have things in there kit to deal with warlock, warlock can deal with hunter and hunter can deal with titan. We just need more people to play warlock and then titans can have some relevance again. P.S. There is more to it than just that. Just thinking about the counters to stuff
The other answer to prismatic hunter is literally just letting anything else take the hit, threaded specter is a counter to the threadings from itself, swarm, and the dodge can get you out of smoke, dunno what titan can do besides plant their barricades and hope for the best
Oh, Is that how you play strand warlock? I've been trying to figure it out, Because I'm trying to do essentially "Warlock training", As I've always been a Titan main with a little bit of hunter for fun. Strand warlock seemed really cool on paper, But I didn't really understand the gameplay loop. This should help, Thanks. ...Weirdly, I thought weavewalk required rift energy, Not melee, Which is why I've avoided it.
I definitely need to learn not to be like “ugh so op, might as well be hunter too” and instead start thinking like you. Cheers to you for the anti-meta pick.
I went up against you while you were running this last weekend. Fortunately, you were in your "learning" phase. But would have been a different story if I caught you later in the weekend xD
Warlocks after realizing that this is literally one of the best abilities in the game (I knew it was like a week after it was out and I don’t even play warlock) (most pvp players even at the high end are extremely unimaginative)
