Destiny 2 Titan BuildVermilupus [Wolfworm] - (Wishful Ignorance)

Only one choice or preference except:

• Grenade - I like grapple for movement and an extra melee, but you can take shackle for Unstoppables if needed.

• Banner of War - You know it, you love it. Crucially, heals, bonus melee damage, and works with the exotic armor.

• Flechette Storm - I like having a ranged melee. It would be totally valid to go Into the Fray though, but I would swap in longer range primary weapons in that case.

• Warding - woven mail

• Fury - melee energy from Tangles

• Propagation - unraveling rounds add AoE and DoT

• Transmutation - when you have woven mail, weapon kills make tangles. This is the most flexible one. You can also make tangles with your melees and grenade. I like this since this is such a ‘alternate weapons’ build. I also don’t see a big value from the other fragments.

Wolfsbane - Craft it with attrition orbs and ammo generation. I really like this exotic and the combo here. However, I would note this build works very well with any solar exotic.

Strand and Solar Primary and Secondary - Since we’re using a solar heavy, and adding to our AoE and DPS with unraveling rounds, we want to use strand and solar options. We want something for add clear in a primary. Though we are using an exotic armor that builds into melee, it is a waste to use on basic red shirts. If you take a strand primary, you can just use unraveling rounds for your AoE.

One good combo is:

• Mint Retrograde and Phoneutria Fera - Whatever DPS perks you like on Mint and I like proximity power and incandescent on P. Fera because I like to have weapons over 100 and some balanced other stats on this build (see Armor). Also note that incandescent kills do proc proximity power. One-two punch is also valid.

This combo also lets you cover all champs, Barrier=hand cannon, unstop=shackle grenade, overload=pulse.

Armor Archetypes

• 2x Swordmaster - sever and exhaust on tough targets nerfs them.

• 2x Smoke Jumper - piling on the damage resist.

Stats

As much melee as you can with weapons to at least 120ish for ammo. This may be my only build so far that actually cares about health. The ‘go in an axe a boss’ approach here already has some safeguards with constant woven mail and Smoke Jumper buffs, and sever and exhaust nerfs, but with health around 50 I’ve been face tanking stuff under -30 comfortably.

Mods

Mostly self-explanatory but..

If you have some choice tier 5 armor, you can perhaps skip the melee font. Double heavy handed gives you another way to constantly keep up woven mail.

Note, lucent blades mod does not impact the Wolfsbane Nano-Assault charges. It does impact the charge rate for your heavy attack. It is a small percentage though.

• 3x damage resist (woven mail, Smoke Jumper, Wolfsbane)

• 3x heals (Banner, on orbs, Wolfsbane)

• 2x damage nerfs - Sever and Exhaust

Artifact Mods We got robbed for this build on this artifact.

Build still cooks. Have run Ultimate and Grandmasters a lot on it since Renegades launched regardless.

I have heard Armorsmith can override other sources of damage resistance. I haven't tested.

Must takes

• Argent Blade

• Sword Storm Combo

Champions

• Barrier - unraveling rounds or take a hand cannon.

• Overload - pulse rifle with the artifact

• Unstoppables - take shackle grenade

"I know it is a faux pas to say, I know Exos are not robots, but it seemed incongruous - a metallic body, some of the most advanced tech known to humankind, covered in bones and furs like some cave man. He was indeed sitting by a fire outside a cave entrance cooking a ..rabbit? Again, I know better. I know Exos like to make and smell food even if their fusion cores don’t require them to eat them. Even the pulse rifle, a commonly loved model, had been painted with organic..something or other..in an ancient pattern."
