How To Buildcraft In Destiny 2

You deserve soooo much more recognition 🔥

I use Monte Carlo for sunbracers, as it really helps keep that melee up

My personal philosophy is "Find something fun and make it awesome."

My favorite builds that I've made are ones that my friends have always made fun of me for because of how "off meta" they are.

Hunter favorite:
I call it the Doom Blade.
With Divinity, Arthrys's Embrace, and Weighted Throwing Knife (along with many mods, fragments, and aspects), I can make the knife do as much damage as a Sharpshooter Golden Gun shot and I can do it every few seconds while rocking Blade Barrage in case there's too many enemies. (It has the added benefit of being able to mow down any type of champion so long as you have whatever flavor of Anti-Barrier weapon the season calls for to go with it, even though sometimes you'll still just pop them before they can deploy the shield.)

For Warlock:
I call it my Blitz build.
With Lightning Surge, Karnstein Armlets, and Monte Carlo (and various mods, aspects, and fragments), I can use Lightning Surge every 2 seconds (as long as I get at least 1 kill per use) and I can keep my health at maximum at all times. I'm fast as hell and have so much healing capability that I'm effectively invincible.

For Titan:
I call it my Infinite Edging build.
With a Tommy's Matchbook, Solar subclass, and Precious Scars (and various mods, aspects, and fragments), I can light the entire world on fire while keeping myself in a perpetual state of one-shot BUT with constant restoration so taking damage is immediately negated unless it's a truly breathtaking amount.

I don't use those builds because they follow metas. I use those builds because I find them fun and they're incredibly effective at doing what I want them to do at the same time.

The thing that kinda sucks is that i try to build craft but i just can't seem to get good statted armor which then makes me not want to masterwork them and makes me feel like i'm not getting 100% of what the build could offer. Watched tons of videos on farming good stat armor but there's just so much that it gets confusing. Anyone got some advice on a good method of getting armor? I'm talking like 70 in only 1 stat at most kind of bad stats

So Triple Shotty - No Backup Plans can't be viable everywhere 😭

Thank you so much. I'm new to Destiny 2 but I've been tryin to do/learn as much as I can before the next Dlc hits. This video was easy to follow (for the most part) and very helpful

I want to say thank you for the video. I just getting back in. Getting ready for the shape. I forgot what goes into building a Character in Destiny 2. Thank you for the help.

Im the type to just play with whatever i like problem is ik i wouldnt be able to do LFG i would get kicked fast so if anyone wants to help me build a strand hunter for pve that would be a blessing as i have never built anything

Last time I played destiny was when Obama was in office and it was just mobility intellect and discipline is it even possible to get back into this or am I too far gone?😂😂

I have over 1100 hours into this game and all of this stuff is STILL confusing as hell for me 😅

Great vid but does anyone know what the cheat piece is he’s wearing I want it for transmog so bad

I used to play destiny a LOT and have over 3k hours in D2 alone. I quit around witch queen to focus on life and finishing my final year of school. I have returned to D2 about a month ago and have been still trying to find my “builds”. I typically try to craft my builds around what I am playing and capitalize on burns and weapon boosts. I’ve tried the strand Titan build and it just doesn’t fit for me. I ran Thundercrash a lot during garden release and love it’s Ad clearing and survivability with insurmountable skullfort and the smash ability. Sure it’s not crazy in high level content but the health regen for one single kill is nuts. I generally run a flex Ad clear load-out with a good heavy for DPS and double or even triple reserves (depends on how long a damage phase is). Everyone has their preference and maybe someday I will learn how to properly utilize the strand build. Since bubble is not in Meta currently it’s opened a lot of doors for Titans and makes the class feel completely different from even 2 years ago. As a Titan main it’s refreshing and nice to be out of the comfort zone. The game genuinely feels different and I love it.

how do i check how long i’ve been playing for?

I’m telling you right now bro. Idk what kind of Destiny 2 this is. After taking a break after curse of Osiris and coming back at forsaken then witch queen… this is absolutely NOT the same Destiny 2 that I left but, I’m glad I found you to help get me back on track.

Hearing you talk about this game confirms something I've always suspected. Meta gaming isn't a problem; the problem is braindead insistence on following the meta without understanding it. This is also really helpful for me because I'm still pretty inexperienced in destiny and it's still difficult for me to tell what good gear looks like

I asked The Holy Spirit a question during this livestream, "How do I please you" and I got the discernment as an answer, "Good works being recognized is like plucking flowers from my garden, then returning them to me as a gift. How can you gift me what is already mine? Instead, do what is asked and spread my seeds, so that more may bloom."
I understand that I try too hard at times to please myself thinking that I can do works and "feel" like I'm still on the right path. Gotta learn to let go of that pride that sometimes creeps up on me.

The first 10 minutes of this video is just him glazing himself.

This is the video I’ve been searching for it’s shown me almost everything about how to build craft. I just want to know how you’ve gotten 90 total stats on your armour. I know you can get 20 extra from perks and masterworking but how’d you get a base of seventy?

Why

Not sure if someone commented, but in DIM you can optimize armor loadouts by going into Loadouts and selecting Loadout Optimizer. It has the same function as D2armorpicker.

gave up listening after like he strated talking about how he was a trendsetter after 5 min of vids, i would rather watch a shorter video with more focused information

Gosh
Totally overwhelmed with all i need to understand and implement, being an utter noob
😂

I think prismatic is helping people understand buildcrafting more, I've seen some strange but effective builds out there. I got through the legendary campaign running osmiomancy gauntlets, 2 coldsnaps with bleak watcher, hellion and the fire snap really well and I got that idea off of a comment in a Facebook group I'm in because someone said with the new stasis buff the cold snaps hit hard and bleak watchers helped them solo. So I took that and added solar to it

Solar hunter that loves the amahakra grips. Red death, midnight coup, outbreak perfected, suros regime. Sniper rifles, machine guns, grenade, launchers, rocket, launchers, swords

I love my grips and still use them and they have really good stats. My place style can be aggressive or passive depending on the situation so I guess I’m balanced. I’m more passive and careful and PVP and a more aggressive in pve.

Blade is my favorite super

What would work best for me?

i have subbed, you absolute legend. you deserve more dude. all ur vids are so helpful man keep it up

Monte Carlo + Sunbracers + Solar Warlock shit = Funni

<3

If I may add something to this topic, I’d definitely recommend at least giving build suggestions a try at least, I save lots of builds I’ve seen people do that I haven’t tried yet, just to see if I’ll have a potential build that works with me and how I play depending on whatever character, but I agree with saying that your play style comes first when it comes to builds!

I see a good video I give a like

Now it is more complicated with the introduction of prismatic energy, but ngl that is tickling my buildcraft fantasies 😂❤️

When i started d2 i LOVED void walker, and i had a hard time doing builds, and then when i got beyond light i mained stasis, then strand, now prismatic, and at heart i love void walker, and i just got graviton lance, so i wana make a build, any tips?

I know this was posted pre-prismatic, but ALL of this is not just still applicable but MORE SO. Prismatic is all about buildcrafting to the extreme.

Honestly, I'm just overwhelmed by everything.
I played from D1's Beta, and stopped during Curse of Osiris.
I just reinstalled the game a few days ago, so I'm basically a New Light in terms of everything.
I'm a warlock main with no idea what subclass I want to do, or gameplay style I want to go with.
I haven't picked up the darkness subclasses and my light level is 1940, the soft cap.
When it comes to Warlock armor exotics, I have Skull of Dire Ahamkara, Eye of Another World, Nezarec's Sin, The Stag, Sunbracers, Karnstein Armlets, Winter's Guile, Aeon Soul, Ophidian Aspect, Starfire Protocol, Wings of Sacred Dawn, Vesper of Radius, Transversive Steps, and Lunafaction Boots. Do you have any recommendations?
If you want I can supply a list of my weapon exotics.

Idk how builds work i just stick with whatever helps me most

This was the video I needed to better understand how to put all the pieces together. Thank you 🙏🏼

Such a great video! You sir would probably love Path of Exile.

I’m new to destiny, I play it pretty well but I struggle to understand half the slang people use and no one cares to or knows how to explain anything. Only issue with the game

i dont know how to perfect builds...but i know how to create interesting ones ..

I would change that tittle by adding "Warlock edition" in the end.

After watching this I tried to make a Arc soul build and I fell in love with it, thank you so much def earned a sub

Casual play style?

This man opened my eyes 😂

Thanks! So, u should select exotic armor, instead weapon?

I’ve only got about 600 hours in total but I can already tell this guy knows what he’s talking about! Subscribe? Yes

I rememebr when you needed gun parts to get the mods on your guns

You are speaking gibberish to me 😂 98% of the things you talked about I have no idea what they are lolol

this is incredibly helpful for a new player like me

Ive been playing this game since witchqueen and desperate for any of this information how the shit have i not seen yiur channel before now

Thank You! I l9ve your content and the way you presented it.
