Build Details

How It Works

Cleave your foes from this very plane, cut away their hides to feed your intent...

This build is centered around the idea of maximizing uptime of positive buffs, spreading them around to your teammates for extra damage and survivability during raid and dungeon encounters, all while having a lot of fun with a tool previously inaccessible to Hunters before this Episode: The Warlock Exotic Glaive Edge of Intent.

Legendary Weapons and Armor Mods used in this build are simply suggestions that would be effective with the play-style, feel free to adapt to current META's or to player taste. All data regarding buffs and debuffs were taken from the Destiny Data Compendium as of ACT II of Episode: Heresy.

In-Depth Explanation

Gameplay Loop
  1. Activate Stylish Executioner through any debuff available to you.
  2. Take advantage of Stylish's weakening melee effect in concert with Triton Vice's increased melee damage while surrounded to stay in the thick of it, and carve your way through adds to charge Edge of Intent.
  3. Use Edge of Intent's special reload to spawn a healing turret on the field to help keep you or allies in the fight. Use the turret when a miniboss is near to let you chop away at it while being topped off with the turret's restoration, or nearby allies if they're getting overwhelmed.
