Hello there guardians, just wanted to share a quick tip with you guys about a certain way that you can manipulate a perk in the Defender class to be of a HUGE advantage to your team. I know some people already know about this but I am intending this post for all the new players or less experienced players who don't really use the Defender class much.
The perk I am talking about is Iron Harvest which is the second perk in the final column for the Defender class. It may sound like an obsolete perk compared to Untouchable and Illuminated, but the true worth of this perk comes from the use of swords. Yes... SWORDS!
With a 60+ ammo count you can generate up to 30 or so orbs of light for your fireteam. These orbs are also medium sized orbs of light so they will boost your team's supers exceptionally fast. Now using this perk in conjunction with the new Memory of Radegast artifact, which allows you to hold more sword ammo and of course, deflect projectiles (holy shit!), will allow you to be of great use to your team in the upcoming strikes and raids. I hope to see this used more as we head into Rise of Iron.
[b]Good luck out there guardians,
Praise the light![/b]

3 AntwortenThat's well and good, but when random strike teammates never use their supers, I don't really care about making orbs for them.
-
Yeah, also using your force barrier melee kill giving orb is really fun, plus using bolt caster in orb making kill thats the ultimate orb factory
-
I had the Variks bounty to generate 100 orbs of light and completed it in one lvl 41 PoE using that setup, the melee kills giving orbs and using my bubble whenever it was up. My random teammates contributed a bit but most of it was me.

3 AntwortenBolt caster has the ability to make orbs too so pairing it with that works pretty well. I usually use skyburners annex on my hunter with bolt caster. It makes about 7 orbs per 10 kills. I'm pretty sure a Titan with iron harvest would do the same.

3 AntwortenSkyburner's Annex + Bolt Caster Nuff Said
-
1 AntwortenHave you ever combined it with Bolt-Caster's orb generation perk? It's absolutely -blam!-ing ridiculous.
-
Thanks, I'll keep this mind when I get my Titan upgraded.
-
Shotgun you in the face and get an over shield too perk. Oh wait that's no back up plans
-
1 AntwortenSlap on some ruin wings and a bolt caster and never stop making orvs
-
I always use that In pve. Especially when I know I can pick off a tone of enemies
-
Been doing this for a while now in strikes. Gift of light + gift of void + iron harvest + bolt caster = orb domination.
-
Yes yes yes and yes! I have been doing this for so long it gets even better when you use the arc exotic sword because it has a perk where when you get a kill you have a chance to make orbs. And it stacks with iron harvest!
-
5 AntwortenI always run Iron Harvest, it's so good. And then Ruin Wings with a Machine Gun. And the Molesto. Aaaand Gift of the light and gift of the void. Orbs for everyone!!! All the time!!! It's super irritating in strikes with randos, because even though I'm dropping max intellect orbs everywhere, they still never use their supers.

Ah.. my build.. Spike Grenade, Iron Harvest, No Backup Plans or Helm St14 , Imobius, DarkDrinker, Perk for Stronger Shield, Continually recharge Shield. And Armor of Light. Maybe sometimes Weapons.. Anyways, When I see a big group I pop bubble, wait for them to about enter, drop Spike Nade, watch them burn and be blinded if Helm is on, then Sword them with Shotgun combo for shield. Did a PoE once and generated 258 Orbs. Where as the 2nd guy had 16. No lie. I was even surprised myself, never knew a number existed like that. Also Grenade kills give Orb was my Artifact. Almost always dropped 7 orbs.

15 AntwortenArmor of light. I like to send messages to people whenever they try to kill me in my bubble. "First rule of fight club, never challenge a defender with armor of light in his own bubble" XD
-
1 AntwortenMy fav defender perk is the one were you quickly reload your guns, it's just an awesome perk that I use all the time in pvp and pve raids. Surprised no one uses the perk to its advantage.
-
1 AntwortenI always used it in year one with Ghorn and Ruin Wings. Now I just play sunbreaker in pve.
-
5 AntwortenArmor of Light always seemed really selfish to me. Not to mention you're most vulnerable inside the bubble.
-
1 AntwortenYep, I can generate over 100 orbs on the omnigul strike.
-
2 AntwortenThe sun...praise the sun.
-
Iron Harvest + Boltcater's orb perk = Orbs for days.
-
5 AntwortenY'know I never got it, what determines the size of orbs? I've seen tiny ones and big ones but I never understood lol
-
Instead of "Praise the light!" Why not "Bathe in the Glow!"
-
Orb man build master build

I run iron harvest in pve, duh. Nothing new
