Destiny 2 Hunter BuildThe Conductor

WATCH THE LINKED VIDEO BEFORE READING

Before we get into the juice of the build, I want to state three things:

• Take off Overload Sword artifact mod if there are no Overload Champs in the GM or activity you are playing.
• This build revolves around using Wave Frame Ergo Sum with Arc Conductor
• This build does not utilize argent blade or arc surges to buff the swords damage whatsoever.

RESIST & HEALING

• Galvanic Armor giving 30% dmg resist while Amplified(active from Ascension).
• Gifted Conviction giving us resist stacks from jolting nearby targets. Caps out at Resist x4 offering a 50% dmg resist while x4 is active. Timer can be refreshed by simply jolting another nearby target.
• Arc Conductor shield granting 50% dmg resist to all incoming Arc Damage.
• Facet of Purpose fragment allowing us to gain restoration from picking up orbs due to having Golden Gun super equipped.

OFFENSIVE BUFFS

• Radiant orbs grant us radiant for 10 seconds on all orb of power pickups and can be refreshed on each orb pickup.
• Amplified giving us increased mobility, sprint speed, slide distance and handling, pairing beautifully with needing to run around with Arc Conductor active.
• Transcendent granting a 51% dmg increase on Ergo Sum

AMMO CONSERVATION

• Blade Stamina
• x1 Arc Reserves
• Special Finisher if needed
• Transcendent granting Ergo Sum ammo on grenade hits
• Ergo Sum acts like a primary the same way Indebted kindness does, so it progresses your ammo finder mods just as a primary ammo weapon would
• Arc Scavenger for when you do pick up a brick from the ground or special finisher

ANTI CHAMPION

• Overload Sword
• Ergo Sum can also stun barrier champs while radiant if you have Overload sword off
• Chattering Bone for barrier champions
• Fire and Forget for overload and unstoppable champions

LOADOUT REPLACEMENTS

• If you do not have a Wave frame Arc Conductor Ergo Sum, I find that the caster or vortex frames work as decent replacements.
• Chattering bone isn't necessary, any pulse rifle with kinetic tremors works wonders for barrier shields.
• Fire and Forget is used primarily for chill clip, so you may use any heavy with chill clip for the sake of champ stuns. If you don't care about champ stuns, use whatever you'd like.

CLOSING NOTES

Chattering bone as well as Fire and Forget are completely optional depending on the content you are running. If there are no champs in said content, feel free to use whatever you'd like in the kinetic and heavy slot. This build mainly revolves around having Ergo Sum out as much as possible without swapping to your other weapons if not needed. Last thing to state is that the video I linked with this build is at -16 power level under in Waves 40-50 of regular onslaught. I also tested this build in GM's on disgraced and still had no issues clearing out rooms instantly and surviving while taking on heavy damage. The idea is to play carefully when engaging into a pack of ads. You are MOST vulnerable before you start the gameplay loop. Once you pop ascension or use your arcbolt, the second you get those jolt procs and pick up an orb after getting some kills, you are practically unkillable.
