Build Details
When creating this build I focused on making a build that would excel in GM level content first, that way you know that this build can be used for anything. So I started with the weapons. When running GMs, one of the nastiest combos you can use is to use triple outbreak perfected. Not only does this weapon shred everything from small ads to bosses, but it also is a kinetic weapon. Meaning that we don’t have to worry about surges.
So I’m bringing the exotic chest piece, Chromatic Fire. Now, when you get a precision kill with kinetic weapon, you create an explosion at the targets location. While this explosion does add extra damage, it is a pretty small radius, so the main reason I’m using this exotic is for the other half of it. With that explosion, you also debuff nearby enemies depending on what super you’re using. In this case, we are bringing the Nova bomb super to not only wipe out minibosses and deal massive damage to bosses, but the debuff we get on Void is 4 seconds of weaken.
Now we can use our outbreak perfected to get precision kills causing void explosions, creating more nanites, and even weaken nearby targets. This is perfect for most activities since bungie has been moving more and more in the direction of having as many enemies as possible swarm you.
With Weaken, Weapon surge, and radiant we can deal 75% more damage with our primary weapon on a regular basis. Oh yah, and I forgot to mention that Outbreak will buff itself up to 350% more damage meaning that with outbreak at max and all our buffs active, we can deal almost 700% more damage…
You want to start every activity by getting an ability kill to proc devour. From there, you go to town with your Outbreak perfected. With consistent radiant, weapon surge, weakening, and even nanites dealing extra damage, this weapon shreds through any activity. When getting low on health or devour running out, pop your class ability to gain instant health and a solar buddy that will reproc devour.
This build gains back a ton of transcendent energy, so whenever you come up on a big group of enemies, feel free to pop transcendence, adding that extra damage and survivability.
And if you are in an activity like a GM, feel free to chuck a nova bomb at a champion or two.
