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.

  • Good 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.
