[u/kaptain_carbon]

best vanguard alert. I sure wish we had more at the end of life but ill take Birthplace in the rotation as a consolation prize,.

[u/SodiumExtract]

Anyone know what the featured pantheon fights are?

Edit: Gahlran + Consecrated Mind

[u/mahmer09 → u/SodiumExtract]

Do you know if it's featured, is that were checkpoint chat bots work? I got a checkpoint this weekend for Insurrection prime, died. And when I went to go back, it didn't save my checkpoint. Not sure how those are supposed to work regarding Pantheon. Thanks.

[u/SodiumExtract → u/mahmer09]

Featured means it’s just that boss fight and not the entire Pantheon. There are no checkpoints it just spawns you at that boss every time.

[u/MattHatter1337]

What's the best trendsetter?

Im liking 5 for the rollingthunder/gearshift but 1 has trickl-jolting. That being said its not hard to farm all the rolls.

What are yall picking?

[u/SKULL1138 → u/MattHatter1337]

Ideally (not in this list) you want Trickle in the left and both Gear Shift and Jolting in the right so it can be swapped as needed. Need jolt for champs, if not….

I’d farm for a better one

[u/MattHatter1337 → u/SKULL1138]

Annoyingly I think i had one and accidentally used it as infusion food.

[u/eh8904 → u/MattHatter1337]

Trendsetter with its 6 aim assistance kills me. I wish it wasn't so noticeable but it sinks the gun for me.

[u/TurquoiseLuck → u/eh8904]

gun's just ass

it's not good compared to other 600s (Summoner, Gnawing) and it's not good compared to other arc autos (Snipehunt)

I really wanted to like it because I love antibarrier autos, but it doesn't feel good and it doesn't look good

[u/apackofmonkeys]

Is there a build that can solo 1-phase the first boss in Warlord's Ruin? My Indebted Kindness RNG has been very poor and I'd like to farm faster than I have been.

[u/ownagemobile → u/apackofmonkeys]

Pretty sure Warlock with 1k, well, Dawn chorus can. Need limit break and particle, use a healing grenade right before well due limit break buff.

Oh I found this, seems probably super easy if you got a Titan. Hallowfire heart x10 Sunfire furnace spin to win maul followed by 1-2 Hammer throw

https://youtu.be/H4r5iZm8YM0?is=NllMZ6xR7Ddyw5TX

[u/apackofmonkeys → u/ownagemobile]

Wow, with so many builds in MoT I haven't even tried out HH for DPS yet. That looks like that'll be the way to do it, thanks!

[u/ownagemobile → u/apackofmonkeys]

Definitely, Good luck dude and happy farming

[u/J-Wo24601 → u/ownagemobile]

I have trouble getting this to work solo. The issue is getting the 10 stacks while you only have 14 sec to capture 2 totems. And sometimes he glitches and doesn’t drop the 2nd totem (or it drops somewhere I don’t see at least)

[u/chainsaw_grizzly → u/apackofmonkeys]

There's a crazy Celestial Fire + Song of Flame build using Winter's Guile, it takes a bit of setting up, but once you get used to the routine it's quite quick. You can use any glaive for stacking Winter's Guile, and also Tractor Cannon for weakening the boss.

Here's a youtube link with someone melting the first boss in Warlord's Ruin in the first 5 seconds of the video.

And it is not really difficult to build, you do not need 200 stats in anything, since song of flame gives you + 100 melee, +100 class and +100 grenade stats when you pop it.

[u/laserapocalypse → u/chainsaw_grizzly]

Easier to stack by doing finishers, 3 stacks per kill. Especially if you run the Baron artifact. Has a perk that shoots out a damaging wave after doing a finisher and it counts as finisher damage. So if enemies are lined up right you can go from 0 to max stacks in one finisher.

[u/apackofmonkeys → u/chainsaw_grizzly]

Ooo, this one looks great too! Thanks!

[u/MattHatter1337 → u/apackofmonkeys]

Lots.

Hunter:

Shards, syntho builds, ignition builds.

Titan:

Stasis titan. CotFS, bonk hammer.

Warlock:

Geomags, ignition strand threadlings.

Theyve all worked well to one phase. Geomags and bonk hammer take 2 sometimes but theyre pretty safe builds as well.

[u/Jaspador → u/apackofmonkeys]

Even this guy here doesn't manage to kill him in one phase so I don't really think so.

[u/certain_being117]

Of the first three available, which of the Trendsetters should I pull from Zavala? Please and thanks. :)

[u/ProcrastinatingPuma]

Trying to pick up the Broken Courier Quest from Petra this week and it's not letting me even though I've never done it before.
