What is the best subclass to make orbs?
So right now I'm running a Titan defender perked out for orbs paired with the telestro and ruin wings. I drop orbs like the Easter Bunny. Does anyone else have a better setup?
-
Super late to this but bolt caster with the perk that has a chance to drop orbs on sword kills + iron harvest and ruin wings = crazy awesome
-
1 ReplyMy Nightstalker Hunter with Skyburner Helm (heavy kills generate orb/ replenish super), Exotic Arc Sword (kills gen orb), and Artifact with Arc Melee generate orbs.... I literally generate more orbs than kills routinely.
-
1 ReplyIn KF, id say any warlock subclass. Not that they can generate more orbs than the other classes, it's just the only job you can really give them to do while the other classes do work.
-
So far, I think its Nightstalker or Defender
-
Voidwalker with obsidian mind Nightstalker with orb perks Defender with orb perks Add telesto to top it off. They would be pretty even imo. Void=Orbgen master of the subclasses lol
-
Defender and Nightstalker
-
Did some "research", with ruin wings, tracking rockets, and heavy orb perk on I average about half the orbs I make on the melee perk alone. Took off the heavy perk, went with faster ward charge. Now for the no back up plans ;-)
-
Defender, without question. Orbs for heavy kills Orbs for melee kills while Force Barrier is active Orbs for Super Orbs for Ward absorbing damage Chance for Orbs for grenade kills (with the correct artifact) Orbs all the time...
-
Do you have the perk active where every melee kill spawns an orb
-
I'd say it's a tie between Defender and Nightstalker. Nightstalkers need a super but generate a complete infinity and Defenders make constant orbs, super or not
-
Striker for sure. I've made lakes of orbs with the striker. I'm stoked they're making a playable class
-
Try defender with bolt caster and iron harvest...
-
Nightstalkers

As a dedicated Obsidian Mind Voidwalker I can without a doubt say I'll go toe to toe with a Nightstalker on kills and orb generation and most of the time, beat them. Don't get me wrong I absolutely adore running with a Nightstalker they're amazing in PVE. But I can Novabomb, make 7 orbs and I'm ready to Novabomb again. Shot placement is crucial but with Shatter, Annihilate and Bloom dear God I'm a monstrosity especially in the Undying Mind strike. Hate Precursors? Get a Voidwalker on your team you're welcome. I love the friendly competition with Nightstalkers to out make Orbs and if you have a Defender on your team as well get read for the best strike running team of your life. This is my favorite way to run Three of Coins strikes we're always supercharged. Void classes are amazing orb producers. I'm good with my Voidwalker, but I've seen plenty of excellent Nightstalkers too. Be wise with super usage and you'll never run out of super it's that simple. Side note, the Obsidian Mind Voidwalker is my favorite class. In the course of one strike I can activate my super almost 20 times. It's a thing of beauty.

5 RepliesEdited by Sobieske: 12/7/2015 8:35:14 PMDefender is first. The next closest is an adept obsidian bomber, OR a nightstalker using blood boundblood, light of the pack, telesto, sword/rocket, and sky burners annex.
-
Night stalker with bloodhound and light of the pack. And skyburners annex too.
-
Nightstalker - Skyburners Annex - Sword.
-
Defender
-
Defenderrrrr followed closely by Nightstalker. Then radiance. Then everyone else Then Bladedancer
-
All the void subs. Nightstalker generates a bunch with their super, Defender punches his/her way to orb-ie goodness, and Voidwalkers with OM use their super and are almost ready for another immediately after.
-
Defender is the best subclass for Orbs, since you don't need a charged super. The Iron harvest perk, combined with multikills, is awesome If you have teammates that appreciate using their super.
-
Nightstalker + Stormcaller melts and generates orbs galore.
-
1 ReplyRun no backup plans and just punch everything with the perk that generates orbs on melee kills when force barrier is up
-
Nightstalker with that one perk where damage is shared and they make orbs
-
Defender Titans or Nightstalker Hunters.
-
Sunsingers can get 7 orbs out pretty easily, since they have access to their weapons. They can't make the most per super use: Nightstalkers can make more, but Shadowshot needs enemies together whereas a Sunsinger can roam.
