What are The Best 5 Warlock Builds? Final Shape Prep Guide - Destiny 2

today's video is going to be covering the best Warlock builds to be using on day one of the final shape the new Destiny 2 expansion coming in less than a month this video is going to be helping out new and returning guardians but for all my veterans out there be sure to share your favorite build as I cannot cover them all and your experience and knowledge is definitely appreciated down in the comments I'll have a dim link down in the description for every single build that you see in this video along with time stamps so you can jump around the first sub class for warlock that we're going to be talking about is Ark and this is by far my favorite after the ark 3.0 update it is high intensity high octane gameplay that can be had and the first build that I would recommend is my personal favorite the best Warlock build in my opinion for solo and group content in terms of its survivability and damage output that isn't I'm going to just put an asterisk here that isn't well of Radiance because I know all of you guys are going to be mentioning that and that build is going to be Vesper of radius this transforms our healing Rift into an offensive weapon where when you cast your healing Rift an arc wave will be emitted out doing damage blinding targets and exploding enemies this wave will happen every 5 seconds for as long as the healing Rift is down and if you're near enemies the energy gain that you will get for your healing Rift will ramp up to to potentially 1,500% based on how many enemies are around you which means you're going to be able to chain throw these healing riffs down this will keep you alive this will give you your little Sparky ball that will do lots of damage and this means you'll be chain blinding and exploding enemies in all directions it is such fun gameplay I've utilized this in both Legend Onslaught and Grandmaster nightfalls it is a build that is not for the faint of heart as you're going to be up close and personal which is why I recommend pairing this with a glaive nez's whisper this doesn't mean you can't use other weapons because again it's all depending on the content you are doing but I would recommend the glaive for that protection when you throw up that Shield you're going to be truly Invincible for as long as that Shield is up and you can also get clean melee kills from the blinded enemies which will save you ammo and easily take down waves of ads enter in the First Solar Warlock and that is going to be Phoenix protocol what Phoenix protocol does is you gain super energy whenever you're inside of your well of Radiance and you or your allies inside of it get kills this gives you up to 50% of your super back right away what this allows you to do is snowball a lot of content because you're going to be able to cast more and more well of Radiance which increases your damage and keeps you guys Alive Now what we also want to do is be sure to Leverage The Solar fragment Ember of combustion when you get get final blows while standing inside of The Well of Radiance with mind you a solar weapon it's going to be mandatory whether it's in your energy slot or your heavy slot solar weapon kills inside of well of Radiance will cause the enemies to ignite this is a massive explosion this in my opinion is what turns a basic I'm here to provide well of Radiance into I'm keeping you guys alive but I'm also blowing everything up at the same time the second solar world lock build is going to be utilizing a classic this is going to be the sunbracers Exotic gauntlets and what these do is when you get a powered melee kill you have a short window basically 6 seconds of unlimited Grenade energy you're going to be constantly throwing solar grenade after solar grenade this game play is incredibly fun and satisfying what we also want to do is ensure that when you guys start getting kills with your solar grenade or any weapon kills that you kind of float yourself into the air now you don't need to be too high flying around but at least do a little bunny hop because with the aspect heat rises final blows while you're Airborne will give you melee energy back this allows you to have a continuous loop you incinerator snap some ads start throwing out solar grenades hop into the air when those ads from the grenades die and now you have your melee again this build is incred incredibly powerful inside everything besides Grandmaster nightfalls and the reason being is in order to leverage this build to its full potential you have to get a melee kill and Grandmaster nightfalls it's going to be very tough to do that not impossible but tough the next build is going to be a strand Warlock and what I love about this build is how simple and Powerful it is to play we're going to be leveraging the Exotic necrotic grip paired with an exotic Weapon It's of your choice either Thorn which is my personal favorite that exotic hand Cannon or osto striga both of these have great Synergy as when you get a weapon kill it's going to be applying that poison from the weapon to enemies around it thanks to the necrotic grips now what this build will also do is when you consume your shackle grenade and get a kill it will suspend targets around the area of that kill so what we have here is a very powerful crowd control and very powerful AOE damage that can be applied thanks to the poison this really starts to ramp up and it's very powerful in a lot of endgame content like the legendary Onslaught and finally last but not least is going to be stasis warlock this is probably one of the most consistent and strong endgame builds to be running as a warlock especially for stuff like The Grandmaster Nightfall the reason being is there's really only one exotic that stands at the top for stasis warlocks and that is going to be the osmo mancy gloves this gives us a second cold snap grenade and allows it to recharge faster on impact and have increased Seeker distance what you can also do with this build is through aspects and fragments you're going to be able to throw out your grenades after holding them to create a turret this turret is going to be consistently firing projectiles that slow and freeze targets all around the room and if you utilize It Well by trying to hit the target with your grenade you're going to be getting that Grenade energy back and thanks to the again the Synergy from this build with fragments and aspects you're going to be able to get a lot of Grenade energy after every freeze it's going to be chaining freezes all over the place those freeze kills are going to be giving you Grenade energy allowing you to throw more grenades to freeze more targets it's quite literally a snowball going downhill when it comes to crowd control which is why it is at the top for Grandmaster Nightfall builds to be running because it's just way too strong if the enemy cannot attack you you are sitting very good and this is a build where it's going to take some time to get used to like I mentioned you're going to want to utilize uh the timing of when to throw a turret when to throw the normal grenade in order to continuously have Grenade energy uh but overall it is strong it is worth your time to practice and play as it's used by the best players in the world at the highest EST end of content that's going to be Grandmaster nightfalls and those are the best Warlock builds that you guys can use on day one of the final shape and leading up to it now there are some notable mentions when it comes to other Exotics to run specifically if you are running with a coordinated fire team that is going to be the Cota mask which allows you to create special and heavy ammo all you need to do is shoot a target with the trace rifle and then when your fire team kills it ammo will be generated this is utilized on those big bulky yellow bars and then there's also the Luna faction boots which is going to be targeted more towards the raids as it will give your whole fire team 100 reload speed when they stand in your well of Radiance or any of your riffs but overall these builds are just amazing they're powerful they're fun and some of them in all honesty are very refreshing to play the Vesper of radius is by far my favorite so let me know which build was your favorite or what other builds you guys would recommend the community try out and like always thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next one
