In my personal opinion, Apotheosis Veil is one of the best warlock exotics when used correctly.
Firstly, if you are a sunsinger and only use your radiance for self revive, you are kind of wasting your super (unless you are doing the hard raid or soloing the nightfall). Radiance, when used aggressively can be one of the most powerful supers available. Using apotheosis veil, means that if you use your super in a tight spot, you can regenerate all your health, and use it with radiant skin for a defense buff. The helmet also offers pure discipline, which is the best stat a sunsinger could want as it makes your grenades charge faster during radiance.
Also, it is THE warlock exotic for the Crota fight, especially on hard. If you have not done the hard mode crota raid yet, your health does not regenerate during the final encounter. Using your super will regenerate your health, which is fantastic. Also, the helmet has the infusion perk which will begin health regeneration any time you pick up an orb.
This means you don't have to use your red death and can use your exotic weapon as your Gjallarhorn (or whatever else you want to use) and be more of an asset to your team.
Having the raid helm or Light beyond nemesis having infusion (regen health when picking up an orb) is good. HOWEVER, LBN's keeper of the pack perk is completely wasted on hard mode as there are no revives. Also, AV has the perk 'private reserves' which will regenerate your health when you activate radiance or drop a novabomb, so gives you more options to heal, and you don't need to have orbs to do it.
LBN is also 100% strength, the least desirable stat, where as Av is 100% discipline, the most desired stat for sunsingers as it makes radiance more effective.
Apotheosis veil is ugly. It's also incredibly useful for crota.

Kudos for your personal input. It surely helped me decide if i will be needing it once i make a warlock.

I was actually thinking about making a post about the APV but you have done a great job at describing it. I received my first APV when the Dark Below was released (I passed on it when Xur sold it). APV is the best helmet for the final Crota fight in hard mode because you can use a super to heal and also pick up orbs. As a warlock swordbearer, this is a very helpful for me when holding the sword. I have used it when first grabbing the sword and many thrall are attacking or when I am coming back into the room after an attack on Crota. But outside of the Crota raid it isnt that useful.

yea I was really glad when I got the AV from an engram a couple weeks ago

1 ReplyWas on the fence about this since my lock already has featherhead, obsidian mind, and some other funky helmet I have not leveled yet Coins not an issue Sold!!! Thanks for a informative breakdown!

I don't think it's ugly. I think the ahamkara and LBN are ugly as hell! Apotheosis is minimal- disciplined. No flamboyant feathers or overstated AARRG. I need to upgrade mine, or I'd already be wearing it.

4 Repliesapotheosis veil is cool, but i like using light beyond nemesis during Crota so i can generate 9 orbs for my teammates
-
Thanks for the good tips!
-
I own it but I don't use it because looks hideous. #styleiseverything I just use them there ahamkara gauntlets and I use life steal

5 RepliesYou can also get the raid helmet that gives hp regain when you pick up a orb.

2 RepliesYou make more orbs with LBN which = more healing. However i've never had an orb shortage.......

Ohh I lovee my sunsinger! I leveled up my voidwalker first because it was my subclass of choice, and then I decide I'm gonna need self revive if I'm gonna help out my group in the raid so I decided to level up sunsinger. During iron banner I would be getting jumped by 2 or 3 enemies and I would activate my sunsinger and just slap one of them and just start shooting the others. And always come out on top. I love it more then void walker. HAIL THE SUN!

7 RepliesEh, I'll stick to my light beyond nemesis because to be frank, I don't get hit that often and I use voidwalker during the crota raid anyway. #novabombingthesehoes

SKRRRRRUUUBBBB

Ive had it awhile a and its nice, buy it

2 RepliesSorry don't want a fish tank on my head.

2 RepliesAnd here's why you shouldn't buy it: it looks like ass.

This is the best Warlock Exotic to use on Crota HM. 2 ways to heal is all you need to know. Same reason Defender Titans run Skullfort, and additional chance to heal.
-
I prefer my stupid noncolorable cloak that gives me two grenades without a perk.
-
Nice thanks
-
Nice post, i'll probably go buy it
-
2 RepliesLight Beyond Nemesis has Infusion and you don't have to look like you're wearing a fishbowl on your head.
-
I'm buying it no matter what you say. That way, I can fin..... Oh wait, you're complementing it? Whoops, ignore my post lol...

13 RepliesUsing apotheosis veil on sunsinger is a complete waste of an exotic. Especially when there are exotics 100x better specifically for sunsinger.
-
That's what I been using for crota hm fight since day one
-
have it love it for the reasons you stated. Picked up the mask of the 3rd man for the hunter for same reasons today and got the titan version in an engram so health regen across all characters is covered. I was so wanting obsidian mind for my warlock though.
