*UPDATED* Strand Build Makes Warlocks the KINGS of DPS...

Do I necessarily need to have a reconstruction on my rocket launcher? Or can I just have the bait and switch on the rocket?

Works really nice with a malfeasance rotation

Cartesian co ordinate just isn’t as good as the new fusion from the seasonal loot and bait and switch is still better than bipod by a lot

Is the damage from the weapon or the power?

thoughts on using navigator catalyst for this setup? useless?

BnS rotation is still better for not only dps but total damage and ammo economy

swap witherhoard for witherhoard ?😮

I am curious, why wasn't Lumina + Fusion + Bipod rocket tried here? It would be considerably better I reckon

BIPOD IS STILL CHEEKS!!!!

How about no warlocks should be well and not dmg leave that to the hunters

Why Nectotics??

But now we have “cataphract gl3” from trials that has envious assassin and b&s that can shoot all its 17-19 (with reserves) ammo in 8,5 seconds outputting some insane DPS. Only issue is farming for this thing, I've already reseted saint 2 times, focused like 45 engrams and still no good roll

🤓 🤓 🤓 ummmm acshully bipod didn’t get a 15% buff this season because it was changed from doing 0.6x of a regular rocket’s damage to 0.75x, which is a 25% buff. (I hope this maths is right otherwise I’ll sound like a total idiot aside from the joke itself)

stopped watching when i saw the rocket was from the raid

Big boy damage.
Let's go

Random fact. The Super actually does more damage now. The numbers didn't change but Aegis did a video and it's like 416K now vs the 380 it was or whatever.

What’s the difference between non enhanced and enhanced bipod?

you should use threading grenade instead. Get more damage and one of the fragments can replenish it.

Using the combination of Izzi, Empty Vessel, Apex (recon, BnS) I was able to hit upword of 2.8 milli. We put our witherhoard on a welllock with starfire for mono chromatic

Did they finally re-enable loadouts?

i think bypod is at a disadvantage in this scenario since reconstruction only loads one rocket at a time, making bypod a bit less dps than bait and switch. in a scenario where you are purly reloading this weapon, bypod may excel much more

Rip console players not running a high enough sens to make grapple worth it😢

I’m just so disappointed with grapple. Only way to make it viable in endgame is to just be reload fodder. Hunters best builds love to have nothing to do with grapple. Strand was marketed with grapple so much and it just turns out you’re never “HIGH APM” , you’re just like every other class.

i just realized that my warlock looks almost identical to yours, except i have different shaders

How do you transition from an Ad clear loadout to this Strand DPS rotation loadout? What weapons do you usually switch from to DPS witherhoard, rocket, and maybe a fusion rifle?

Erm bipod didn’t get a 15% buff, it got a 25% buff since it started at 0.6x base and now it’s 0.75x base so 0.6x1.25 = 0.75 🤓🤓🤓

Id like to see cold comfort envious and bipod roll with riptide since they are both stasis for weapon surges and since you can shoot 8 consecutive rokects with the CC id think it be pretty good burst dmg

Good ole Cartesian with vorpal. So glad it didn’t get sunset like so many of the other greats.

Negative damage and negative reload speed….

Bipod still needs a better buff

W video

Slight correction at the start of the video, you said Bipod is buffed by 15% because its 60% -> 75%.
While its technically 15% of a base rocket better, its actually 25% stronger per rocket (0.6 x 1.25 = 0.75)

That said, won't affect the numbers since you tested post-buff and got the actual numbers anyway, but it shows the buff is about 67% bigger than was implied by just quickly looking at it.

how are you getting 4 shots into your apex pred?

thread of rocket

Dont forget the new season perk. It gives a 10% dmg buff. So as warlock you mostly play solar couse well is op. Apex is solar so you got an extra 10% dmg buff for that.

I just crafted the new rocket with bipod/field prep + head rush. Been having a lot of success with that roll while keeping my recon/BnS apex

Seems the the hunter would be better as you can have 2 grenades, once you used your ammo up which you will do quicker with 2 nades your have plenty of time to use your super so being one and done isn't really that big a thing in this instance....so really not sure why this is a "warlock meta"? Also titans can use thread of ascent as well, Seems weird to me to say its a "warlock meta".

I don't even hardcore farm like that, but I went ahead and got my Apex pattern this weekend.

where is that arcade room i always see it in videos but never been there

Good for the ammo economy. However until the envious bug is fixed ill definitely stick to cold comfort and even if it will be, apex and CC are just too good because as mentioned its hard to get more ammo for bipod.

Im not really a good dmg tester so could anybody do a dmg rotation that lasts the average 30 seconds with the 5 CC shots?
Was thinking of implementing ToM as it is the highest primary dps weapon

Love the new video editing, keep up the good work ❤

I’m sticking with BnS just becuase it will do more with less ammo, who knows if you’ll go into a dps phase without full heavy, I’ll still prob craft bipod apex tho if heavy ammo isn’t an issue 😎

Bipod is definitely not shite anymore but one commenter on Aegis' vid pointed out that running BnS is better for ammo economy as its much harder to reach max rocket reserves with bipod (14) than it is with BnS (9) AFTER a damage phase, you'd need more bricks for Bipod, which is less forgiving.

Also I don't think it's that hard to get 6 or 7 out of those 9 rockets to be BnS procced.

Then again it's likely that Crota will have an overwhelming abundance of yellow bars for aeons/cenotaph/munitions so this may not matter. Thoughts?

With all the weapons and their perks leaked, what is the likelihood that the raid mechanics and encounter details are leaked? Sub 2 hour contest mode worlds first 😢?

not sure if threadlings doing more dmg effects super or not but super IS doing more damage this season if only slightly. the numbers were like 360k to now 400k if im not mistaken but some where around that ball park

Blud will appear in stream

Cold comfort is too good to not get with envious+BnS

i was asking my friends what is the new dps meta ? And now i got the answer

Wow first
