Wanna know what people are sleeping on?
Stasis Warlock + Winter's Guile. Frozen punch is guaranteed kill. A 1x warlord sigil buff is a 1-shot melee now and I almost got a 7th Column on my first match trying it out.
Also, Apotheosis Veil. Full abilities + health on super pop? You can pull one heck of a wombo combo with that, especially in Arc when the slide melee combos SUPER well into stormtrance.

People aren't sleeping on the stasis winters guile combo. It's just not a consistently effective combo. That first kill will probably be free if you're rocking frost pulse but outside of that you have to get close for that and that's just not smart on shadebinder. The whole point of shadebinder as a class is lane control and defense. Unless you're trying to get it to where penumbral blast can one shot which believe it or not, doesn't work with winters guile

Consistency might not be there due to the timer, and high-end play is never about fun in the first place. But it's funny when you do get a streak going, and with the 6s, that's all that matters anyway.

Apotheosis veil is my favorite exotic in the whole game. It used to be better, used to give full health immediately on super cast but now it waits until the animation is finished. I used to use it as a super aggressive roaming super starter cause you could make the enemy waste ammo or think they got you then go right to full health.

Problem with stasis & arc is Warlocks have zero get the f out of danger moves. So if you run into multiple enemies & you don't have any abilities you die instantly. With Void & Solar at least you have Blink & Icarus to escape a lot of encounters.
