I only play my Warlock now, and I’m pretty much 50/50 on Sunbracers and Chromatic Fire.

Sunbracers are very flexible with weapons, and I mainly use Conditional Finality, Hollow Denial (Lead From Gold + Killing Tally), and The Other Half for well skating.

For Chromatic Fire, I just use Wish Ender and arc. Wish Ender is already insanely powerful, and the added blinding explosions are just so good. I usually pair it with Forbearance or Techeun Force (Rewind Rounds + Controlled Burst), and Apex Predator (Reconstruction + Bait and Switch).

What is everyone else here rocking this season?

    Sunbracers is pretty simple. Heat Rises and Touch of Flame, obviously. For fragments, the one to apply more scorch, regen class ability energy from scorched targets, apply radiant on powered melee hits, and extend restoration and radiant with solar kills. Use snap and phoenix dive.

    Your loop is just activate Heat Rises, melee, dive, spam nades. Then alternate between melee and nades, saving your dive to refresh restoration.

    Heat Rises is important because it gets you melee energy back super easily, and it buffs your dive; diving with it active gets you three seconds of restoration x2 as well as scorches. The restoration is self-explanatory; sometimes it’s a good idea to throw a grenade, then get restoration to get an immediate timer extension. Phoenix Dive also lets you get melee kills; as long as you apply scorch with your melee first, diving will stack onto that, ignite, and count as a melee kill because the scorch was applied by a melee initially. This lets you essentially melee healthier targets.

    Weapons are up to you. I enjoy double special with Conditional Finality and Acasia’s Dejection, and Other Half for skating, but you’re mainly reliant on your Sunbracers for everything; your weapons are fairly supplemental to the build.

      Thanks for the advice! I think I just need to commit the game loop with Heat Rises -> Melee -> Phoenix Dive -> Nades to muscle memory. The window in which you can extend your Restoration is very small.

      By the way, thanks for the tip about Phoenix Dive’s scorch proccing your melee via scorch, that will go a long way to making it more reliable. I didn’t know that.
