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 and gives damage resistance

• 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.

It is helpful to have subclass perks for this build on your primary and special. Jolting feedback, chill clip, or crystalline corpsebloom, for example. Those both give us a way to get invisible for safety and add more elemental damage to build transcendence fast.

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 does leave us with a hole for unstoppable champs, so Grandoverture or Queenbreaker (blind) are also worth considering.

Armor Archetypes

2x Swordmaster works on melees as well as swords and thus makes our spammy melee give radiant, weaken, and exhausts targets.

2x Smoke Jumper for more resistance.

Stats You want as much weapon stat as you can and this will work with at least 70 in class and 50 in melee. 100 in melee will make you able to dodge for a full melee charge out of range, but we're often in medium range in this build. 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. But you do dodge so much that over 100 class does add a little survival. I don't think it is a must with the damage reduction stacking.

So put remaining points wherever you prefer.

Mods Mostly self explanatory but

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

• Class - Powerful Attraction since we're dodging all the time. 2x reaper cuts down the time for more orbs.

• Invisibility

• Amplified’s 15% resistance and enemy stormtrooperitis.

• Frost Armor up to 30ish%

• spammable disorient and exhaust 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

Champions

• Barrier radiant from Dawn and/or anti-barrier hand cannon

• Overload dodge near them or jolting feedback.

We need the artifact for Unstoppables so swap in Queenbreaker or Grandoverture for blind.

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. They changed that later to give 50% when out of range and 100% close, at base.

Renegades change notes: Not much changed. Swapped weapons and armor out.
