Destiny 2 Warlock BuildThe ULTIMATE Sanguine Alchemy DPS Build!

What Sanguine Alchemy Does

Exotic Perk – Blood Magic (while standing in a Rift, including Well of Radiance):

Marks targets when you damage them, increasing your damage against those targets (typically around +10%)

Grants weapon damage bonus—specifically, a +25% Surge for weapons whose damage type matches your equipped Super's element (e.g., Solar weapons when using a Solar Super)

Pauses the Rift's countdown on weapon final blows, effectively extending the Rift or Well duration, giving you more uptime on your support aura

Greatly increased reload speed while inside a Rift or Well

Benefits of Using Sanguine Alchemy 1. Big Boost to Weapon Damage

If you're inside a Rift or Well and using weapons that match your Super's element (e.g., Solar), you get a significant +25% weapon damage Surge, stacking multiplicatively with other buffs for massive DPS spikes

2. Extended Rift/Well Uptime

By landing kills while inside your Rift or Well, you can pause its timer, keeping the supportive aura active longer. This is huge for maintaining consistency during damage phases, boss fights, and intense engagements

3. Faster Reloads in Rift Zones

Reloading weapons much faster while within the Rift enables smoother weapon transitions and quicker access to high-damage tools—critical when every second counts

4. Synergy with Solar Well of Radiance Builds

Mobalytics highlights a Solar DPS build around Sanguine Alchemy that leverages these perks to excel in endgame activities like Grandmaster Nightfalls and raid encounters

. Inside the Well of Radiance, you're dealing haste-driven, high-uptime damage while supporting your allies.
