Destiny 2 Hunter BuildStorm of Bakris

Arc or Stasis are the only ones that work with Bakris. With Facet of Purpose, stasis gives frost armor and arc gives bolt charge.

Stasis also will proc Winter’s Shroud and works better in a safe ranged build sense, so I go with that.

• Winter’s Shroud fuels our loop

• Stylish Executioner saves our shifty butts.

• Gambler’s Dodge fuels our loop

• Snare Bomb uniquely allows us to get radiant and weaken in one shot.

• Arcbolt grenade especially with arc weapons, allows us to get amplified.

• Awakening helps the loop along, yet it isn't key alone, but when

• Paired with Honor, we get our Transcendence very fast.

• Dawn for radiant

• Purpose for extra damage resistance. If you prefer the arc super, you get bolt shot.

A Chill Clip Special - Slow+Winter’s Shroud=+300% class regen when Bakris’s perk runs out. It also gives us invisibility. Trachinus is good dps. Tinasha’s Mastery is a good option given the range. Rake Angle is viable where melee range is advisable. Though Bakris' buff doesn't apply to glaive melee, Stylish Executioner does.

An Arc Primary - something with good range, jolting feedback, voltshot, or rolling storm. Jolting feedback and voltshot have the advantage of giving you another way to go invisible. How much you really need this though when you have a weakening melee up almost all the time? Is useful in higher delta content.

Note also that jolt does not count as weapon damage for recharging your dodge via Bakris. That isn’t a big issue in harder content though as jolt rarely finishes off adds.

Some excellent options include:

• VS Pyroelectric Propellant - good origin trait for this build and Jolting Feedback.

• Sublimation - with the seasonal mod for good damage, Temporal Blast. Take Impromptu Ammunition and either Voltshot, Rolling Storm, or Redirection. More ammo never hurts.

• Unworthy - origin trait exhausts tough targets for 25% reduced damage, adds AoE for adds. Firefly is useful in the 3rd column for AoE and also reload speed for voltshot.

• Vantage Point - because Jolting Feedback, range, little ball lightning orbs.

But if facing Unstoppable Champs, see the Artifact section as we don’t have a ready option for that.

Heavy - My favorite in general for this is Anarchy because a damage over time that counts as weapon damage to recharge your dodge…that completes the loop.

That doesn’t work in all scenarios though, so Queenbreaker, Grand Overture are good options. I used to run this with Ager’s Scepter before the Bakris rework, but it no longer feels right with the more sustained damage of Ager’s with all the dodging. But that’s kinda subjective.

Armor Archetypes There isn’t a lot of synergy with this build with the armor set perks yet. 2x Bushido for extra heals is nice. 2x Smoke Jumper for more resistance.

Stats You want as much weapon stat as you can and this will work with 70 in melee and class. Going over 100 in melee is not really worth it as we’re really using this for buff/debuff and dodging to get it back.

Getting class higher helps the loop, but it only takes two adds to fully recharge it at 70 and doesn’t overflow.

So put remaining points wherever you prefer.

Mods Mostly self explanatory but

• Hands - Consider an arc loader if going voltshot.

• Chest - Ammo generation since this is such a weapon focused build.

• Class - Powerful Attraction since we're dodging all the time. Reaper for more orbs. Class Font if needed or Time Dilation.

• We can do this all from range/cover

• Invisibility

• Amplified’s 15% resistance and enemy stormtrooperitis.

• Frost Armor up to 30ish%

• spammable disorient with our Snare Bombs

• You are invulnerable when dodging from Bakris and have 50% damage resistance for 4 seconds after from Winter’s Shroud.

• A little heal and damage resistance from orbs.

Artifact Mods Taking the stasis super, Facet of Purpose, and the arc grenade lets us double dip into Shieldcrush for extra grenade and melee recharge and damage.

Elemental overdrive adds another multiplicative 10% damage boost to weapons.

These give some other useful benefits:

• Reciprocal Draw - some bonus damage if taking Tinasha’s.

• Elemental Benevolence - even more class ability via Dawn

• Fever and Chill - more Frost Armor

• One with Frost - some reload speed on our special

• Shoulder to Shoulder - even more damage resist

Champions

• Barrier radiant from Dawn. and/or anti-barrier scout or pulse

• Overload Chill Clip and optionally Jolt from our primary.

We need the artifact for Unstoppables.

• Tinasha’s has you covered, but if you don’t have that, see Posterity with Voltshot and Frenzy; Palindrome with Explosive Payload and Rolling Storm (extra AoE origin perk); Sightline Survey with Enlightened Action and Voltshot (extra AoE origin perk) … all good.

Edge of Fate change notes:

Bakris used to give you a 4x arc, stasis and Lord of Wolves surge on dodge. It also blocked dodge recharge for a bit.

Now it gives you 10, 20, and 30 damage buff on those on dodge, which stacks with surges. And weapon kills while it is up give class ability.

My former version focused on up time of weaken, radiant, and that 4x surge for 72% damage boost on all your weapons and 300% on Ager's Scepter. This made for a rather on demand high damage option. Not the highest dps for sure, but both strong in add clear and boss dps.

In short, this change makes it inherently less on demand for damage, but more sustained damage overall when you factor in the new weapon stat and more stacking.

Another Edge of Fate change was that Gambler’s Dodge no longer requires you to dodge near enemies.

This build formerly had to play mid range because of that. So that opened a possibility for a safer build to play from range.
