A build from someone who has actually played Warlock and understands that this meta is all about building transcendence without using Kinetic, well done! I'd like to add that if you wanted to switch the exotic for Microcosm for any content with Subjugator's etc, you can build ridiculous darkness transcendence with Lost Signal. Overall I think Final Warning is generally better but you may run into situations where it's out-ranged by the encounter.

I try a lot of builds and they are underwhelming. This is one of the first that actually lived up to the video. Thank you!

[MinisterOak]

Perfect plug for asking for the Sub. You definitely earned it with that info bomb.

Fantastic video. Most destiny YouTubers just spew out information when many are still learning aspects of the game. Thank you for including all the percentages along with an easy to follow break down. You are a great teacher. Subbed!

[RealityRogue]

It might please/displease you to know that for the Final Warning: charging it up fully actually nerfs total damage potential you can do with the Pick Your Poison perk.
There’s a technique to half charge and quick tap that deals *significantly* more damage in the same amount of time.

I suggest checking out Maven’s video on it!

Bravo! I’ve been play D2 for years and finally decided to give a builds a try. For me, this is far and above the best I’ve come across. I’ve no patience for super-meta that’s overly complicated or convoluted. I’ll sacrifice some damage or ability for not needing a PhD in D2 sequencing. This build is crazy good and fun - powerful, dynamic, short learning curve, and still requires some thought when playing. You also do a killer job of actually explaining it such that I didn’t need a “tech term dictionary.” Proof is in the pudding - 100% of the time I’m now at the top of the board for strikes, etc. Looking forward to exploring more of your content! Cheers…

You’ve just taught me more about this game in 10 minutes then the time I’ve played it. I’m a warlock and was wondering why I was so behind. I don’t know how to build properly and this was the most informative video I’ve come across. Like and subscribe from me man. And thank you, you really made me feel a bit more confident with playing the game!!!

[GC_Mars]

I’m completely new to warlock gameplay and I found your video simply perfect, explaining everything in a clear and easy way even for a beginner like me. Can’t wait to test the build myself!

Bro, you’re the *first* YouTuber I’ve heard pronounce “Hellion” correctly. Thank you.

[Hanbin]

Tried this build out, solo’d warlords easily. Thank you

[Hustlexz]

Man I just wanted to say thanks for this. I’ve been a Warlock main since D1, I’ve been using the getaway build since discovering it months ago after prismatic but I’ve been using it with bleak watcher instead of hellion. It felt strong but not strong enough to do stuff like solo dungeon bosses.

Copying this build I feel like an absolute god. How fast transcendence comes back up is insane if things get hairy you can literally pop your super or transcendence to bail you out because one or both is always up. Gave you a well deserved sub.

[irrelevantnamehandle]

this build is basically what I run for everything now, except I use bleak watcher (yes i know, original) over helion because I much prefer crowd control and because the turret can deal with both unstop and overloads. but also because it helps fuel transcendence really fast. only fragment differences is that I use purpose (restoration on orb pickups means you can forgo recuperation and run triple surges or a scav with two surges instead) and courage (buff arc soul and song of flame damage after hitting them with freeze or unravel).

it’s so rare to have a build that can just do everything, I’ve used this in basically every GM up to this week with great success, used it in the master raid (encounters 1, 3 and 4) and even solo flawed a dungeon. if im being honest, I haven’t switched off another build since putting it together (minus for well, or if im doing something for boss DPS in which I switch to star eaters nova bomb), it’s literally perfect for onslaught as well.

as “boring” as some might find the build, it’s extremely effective and it’s basically replaced sunbracers for me.

[Treekco]

I've watched a lot of warlock build vids since the launch of TFS and this is the best one by far. I was put off at first by getaway because I find the loop to be boring but your loop off chaining supers and prismatic made it so much more fun.
Also great pick with final warning, made me really enjoy the weapon. It slaps

[nicholasfluty]

Sir. I’ve been a titan main since D1. I played your warlock build here, and sadly, titans really, really got shafted when it comes to prismatic. Thank you for making Destiny fun and giving me a build that makes it feel like I’ve entered a cheat code.

[MindlessAdept]

The way everything was broken down earns a sub automatically. I'm definitely trying this build out ASAP

[amkin]

Well, this has been resent to all my other warlock mains. Tyvm, great video and fantastic breakdown

[SardonicSiren]

Such a great explanation of everything! I’m going to have to give this a try

[stevewherry]

Tried this build out all day yesterday and absolutely loved it, expensive on the Mod side but now I've seen how good and how much fun it is i will get on the armor grind again to offset the mods and get better stats. tks for the vid. subbed for sure...

[ussimaki]

Very informative video. Maybe I will do this build for my lock. I find it very much to take in with other videos but this made me really wanna play it. Thanks again!

If you use the bleak watcher turret you can literally control every fight with unlimited freezing turrets constant grenade recharge and constant devour. It requires the fully crafted sidearm brigands law with enhanced threat detector and enhanced voltshot which provides the fastest voltshot reload activation in the game. Each ionic trace will nearly recharge your grenade. Bleakwatchers are only limited by their time they exist. Un like hellion its a single shooter the turrets become insane. Great build for Solar btw
