Destiny Subclasses: Top Tier Builds
Hey guys. Pyro here with another weekly Destiny guide. This week I will be starting a new series on top tier subclass builds for PvP. Keep in mind that these are my opinion and that they are PvP builds only.
The first 3 weeks I will be focusing on the Warlock (my main). The next 3 weeks the Titan, and concluding with the Hunter.
Let's start with the subclass that was practically the most hated subclass in the game: Sunsinger.
Grenade: Firebolt. Despite the nerf, I still find them to be the most effective grenade for Sunsingers. I know some people love fusion grenades but I really prefer Firebolts for their utility
Glide: Focused Burst. Provides the greatest amount of speed, which warlocks really need.
Radiance: Radiant Skin. Sunsingers are too easy to pick off with self-res against skilled players. Radiant skin allows you to be a bit more tanky.
Melee: Flame Shield. It's still the best option.
Passive perk 1: Radiant Will. Viking Funeral isn't as powerful anymore, thus making Radiant Will the best option here.
Passive Perk 2: Touch of Flame. In combination with Firebolt grenades, this perk is deadly. This makes finishing off guardians easier.
Exotic Armor: Light a beyond Nemesis, Voidfang Vestments, Claws of Ahamkara, or The RAM. My suggestion is the Ram because in combination with a max armor build plus an increased solar armor Chestpiece allows you to survive a 1000 Yard Stare headshot, which is really useful.
If you have any comments or want to share your opinions on the build, please leave a comment down below. That's it for this week. Hope to see you guys in my next post. Catch you later. Peace.

I put on the ram and maxed my armor plus a chest price with increased solar armor but it doesn't do anything. It can't even survive a tao hua yuan shot. Smh

3 RepliesDont say this is the best option if you are wrong. The best grenades are solar grenades with sunbreakers. And as for the melee solar wind is great because you literally throw enemies away with it which makes it easy to finish them of and it gives you tier 5 like recharge speed for your melee with 0 str. (It also pushes away people who are in their super)

8 RepliesThats an average build.

Don't say this is a top build, it's a generic build and that's it.
-
Any chance you could do this daily because I'm interested to see how other people run classes

17 RepliesIt started so well... Then you didn't choose fireborn
-
3 Replies9 weeks to describe your PvP loadouts? Are you mailing it to Antarctica to be proofread first?
-
4 RepliesGood guide as always. However, regarding the ram, I am not sure what you are implying. If you are saying that with ram and chest armor, you can tank headshots with radiant skin. This is true, but even without the ram, as long as you are not using the lowest possible armor (1 armor), you can tank a headshot during radiant skin. If you are saying that with ram and chest armor, you can tank headshots with fire born, this has been proven false. All hopes of tanking high impact sniper headshots after self reviving ended when Bungie took away flame shield's plus 1 armor stat.

5 RepliesEdited by insanity7129: 8/25/2016 2:53:56 PMAnother option would be to spec around using Tlaloc. Fusion Grenades, Gift of the sun, sunburst. Other perks can depend on your personal preference, most likely remain the same as your suggestions. For exotics, consider alchemist's raiment, the orbs collected while having full super will charge your grenade and melee. You sacrifice the use of radiance but get an exceptional gun, and stronger neutral game. *Edit: Just wanted to add that I really enjoy that you are putting this together, I hope you don't mind feedback or suggestions for other builds. I love to see diversity in destiny and learn what options exist in terms of builds for both the classes I use on a regular basis and those I don't. It provides something new to try, which is always welcome during a drought.

Sounds like a fun build. I might even try it.

Let me know when you do sunbreaker
-
Let me know when you do stormcaller
-
Fusion/Brimestone/Sunburst/Radiant Skin/Gift of Sun I use with Claws and this is an amazing build when used correctly.
-
3 RepliesThis is awesome man, thanks! I've never been very good at PVP, and am just figuring out that my typical PVE build really sucks in PVP, lol. Looking forward to your Titan recommendations!
-
1 ReplyPlease do voidwalker next, i use voidwalker exclusively and would really love to see what build you would use
-
Or... [spoiler]DON'T use Sunsingers.[/spoiler]
-
1 ReplyVoidfang? I get spawning with full nade but wldnt that b better using with gift of the sun, and if ur using touch of flame y not starfire?
-
Nine weeks to find out top tier builds for subclasses is a long time to wait
-
I still think people right off self-res too much. I just delay the res and catch people off guard constantly. You just have to be smart and tactical with it.
-
Can I add my top tier builds for Sunbreaker so that I save you some time?
