Destiny 2 Warlock BuildLightning Surge Stormcaller GM Build

Lets try using Lighting Surge on the original subclass it was designed for. We know Prismatic Lightning surge is really good, but how about Stormcaller Lightning Surge?

1. Add Clear Lightning surge - Kills most GM red bars (even without Synthos) and applies jolt to anything that survives. Really good at building stacks for Ionic Sentry. Ionic Sentry - Passive damage that grants bolt charge which feeds Lightning Surge Psychopomp - Amazing add clear weapon. With Rolling storm final blows feed both Lightning Surge and Ionic Sentry. Pairs very well with Spark of Beacons. Use the Synergy weapon mod to generate Ionic Traces on final final blows.

2. Priority Targets Heavy weapons are the main tools for dealing with priority targets like Champions. Queensbreaker and Legend of Acrius are both great options. Ionic Sentry followed by Stormtrance does respectable damage to priority targets.

3. Survivability Karnstein with Lightning Surge gives Stormcaller the survivability it needs. Karstein Finishers grant Cure & Restoration x2 and Proximity Ward grants overshield during the finisher animation. So finishers are a great way to heal with this build. Lightning surge kills grant Cure & Resto x1 which is still really good. Restoration + Amplified + Spark of Resistance allows you to play extremely aggressive in GM level content. Also you can use finishers during storm trance for resto x2 + 90% DR and basically be immortal. Use stormtrance as much as possible since roaming supers come back really fast.

Champion Coverage Overload - Lightning Surge Unstop - Queensbreaker, Flashbang grenade, Ionic Sentry Barrier - Kinetic slot is free for whatever the seasonal antibarrier weapon is This build always has all 3 champions covered.

Overall this is a really fun build that allows you to play Lightning Surge aggressively like you would on Prismatic. You also get to use the new Arc Aspect Ionic Sentry which is great, and bolt charge generation is much better than prismatic due to Spark of Frequency. I will update this build when Edge of Fate launches. The new armor system may further improve this builds performance.
