Hello, I just want to say I have learned so much since I’ve started watching your videos. I do have a question about Combination Blow combo. Do you always have to dodge, I have just been using the combination blow x3 then dodging to refresh timer and use that punch on something bigger like a captain or ogre. I have done the dodge before and got a kill I thought and didn’t get refunded my ability. Once again thank for your videos keep up the great work looking forward to see what’s’ next

The first 2 min of him being in onslaught my brain was saying “why isn’t he going invis, oh yeah he isn’t wearing cowl. Wait why didn’t he go invis, oh yeah, he isn’t wearing cowl” that build is just forged into my mind lol

Raiden was amazing back-in-the-day and I’m glad it’s gets Bungie’s adoration again with arc refreshness.

Any chance there is a DIM Link for this or did I miss it?

Are you planning on an overview video of the best builds for each class for the legendary campaign for final shape? Especially for those of us that are coming back from a break.

Semi recently finally finished shadowkeep on my Hunter to get Assassins Cowl just to have fun with. MAN I never used arc hunter but it’s now one of my favorite subclasses and exotic armors to use. Super powerful and super fun

Ive had variations of this build for a while and its by far one of the most fun builds ever

Love this Build. I run similar. Only not as many orbs(Fixing l8r) . - You know the combo. Trust it. Find a weak add, pretend you're a Titan that found shoulder charge, and PLAY AGGREESIVELY. - You're right. Light attack super is for adds, heavy combo is mainly for BIG BOIS. Good vid. Great analysis. Glad you had fun with it also.

I used this build to clear Whisper when it first came out. It was really good clearing those rooms

@mactics Now that season artifact is known, any changes to your hunter?

I really thought those lego figs were free standing, I'm like an unexpected sneeze would rock their world lol

I would probably use Star Eater Scales and Gathering Storm with this instead of Raiden Flux and staff. The number of orbs you generate will fuel the Scales so fast, and you'll be able to plop down Storms a LOT. That is also a much stronger super against bosses and other tanky enemies.

I pulled out my crafted Brigand's Law yesterday for the first time since the pirate season. Threat Detector + Voltshot. It seemed like voltshot was also getting triggered from enemies that died to my Anarchy traps, and it would even happen in the middle of a magazine while I was actively shooting (instead of only after reloading). I wasn't exactly sober, though, so maybe I just hallucinated it 😵‍💫

I never rusk arc or melee build, but I'm definitely trying this out. Looks so fun!

I have this same setup but with liars handshake as whenever you melee, you have a massive boost to damage and you regen a solid chunk of health when you punch an enemy

Pre-nerf cowl vs liars was a tough call, they both had strong use cases then they nerfed 12punch and are nerfing cowl I think liars is 100% the move now

My issue with melee builds in onslaught is I always end up punching suicide ads. They seem to gravitate towards me.

Totally going to try this, because this method is very simple, but highly effective even without assassin's cowl and any time I see another Hunter do this, I still pull my weight and kill anything that is not their priority and enjoy the show when I can. There is also a SIVA look from Krypz if you got the Raiden Flux with that SIVA ornament. There are some good ones and I am using now.

would bombardiers work well until you have your super then switch to Raiden flux?

With Strand Titan being somewhat nerfed and Stasis being buffed, I found out that there is a build that can substitute, and depending on how Frost armor works, may actually be better than Strand Titan My build is using the Winter's Guile warlock exotic armor with Vexcalibur Winter's Guile gives you a buff to melee damage after a melee kill, which stacks 5 times, and at 5 stacks, Vexcalibur deals 50k damage per melee. Vexcalibur also gives a Void Overshield when blocking damage For now while we wait for the Final Shape and Frost Armor with stasis, I build into freezing enemies with the coldsnap grenade and getting grenade energy back. However, when the Final Shape releases, if Frost Armor's damage reduction stacks on top of Void Overshields, you can build instead into creating shards to get Frost armor. If all works out in the end, you'll have a glaive melee that deals over 50k damage, a Void Overshield, and damage reduction, which would make this build arguably stronger than any Strand Titan build (except for boss damage) With the right gameplay loop, you can carry in Legend Onslaught, so long as you make sure that you always have a Void Overshield up and you are not meleeing the explosive thralls and shanks

also big thing to note, at 5 intellect is where the newish gains on super are capped out, any further and its just base time reduction only and what i mean is the whole generating super from primary damage and kills etc, but i think it slightly effects the pick up from orbs aswell, not 100% on that mechanic but i do know always always and forever have intelligence at T3 and no lower, otw you actually gain less than default, which is what T3 is no bonus gains, just the normal amount gained from dmging foes

Absolute legend going to show my mate this hope you’re doing a lot better today Mac and I have to say the moustache is looking exquisite today ❤

Couldn't you go assassins cowl while roaming then switch to raiden when you get your super?

Man back in the day I remember running Nightfalls with double Raiden Arcstriders and a single Orpheus Nightstalker. So much add clear.

The fact that it’s raiden flux makes my heart happy, it’s my favourite exotic.

I'd like to point out that this build only works: - in very ad heavy environments (such as Onslaught) - with a lot of opportunities to get your super (such as Onslaught) - when you can approach enemies easily because of a massive lack of ranged options (such as Onslaught) - when you don't really need to insta-gib a boss (such as Onslaught) - when you can reliably kill a lot of enemies easily as they are your only source of health (such as Onslaught) The build is pretty good. But that's mostly because Combination Blow and the Arc Hunter aspcet combo is pretty good as it is - to the point where most exotics barely enhance it -, not because Raiden Flux is any good. In fact, by eliminating every other Arc exotic (such as Assassin's, Raspberry, or Liar's), and forcing the heavy weapon and exotic weapon to be Thunderlord which isn't really capable of long-range burst damage, you didn't eliminate the shortcomings of other Combination Blow builds (difficulty building up stacks, survivability, sufficient ranged damage), but further added to those issues. Now, that most of these don't come up in Onslaught, where the only "far away" targets are the Shriekers, weak ads are plentiful for stacks, and most stuff tries to run past you and gib the ADU is one thing, but you'll feel all of these even in a Nightmare Hunt. At the same time, the build "fixes" a number of issues that are not really issues. The super is mostly good for ad-clear and not much else - which the build is already pretty good at with the Jolt, so increasing its duration does basically absolutely nothing beneficial in most content - especially since the damage it does against a single target is still just on par with Gathering Storm. Onslaught is a bit of an outlier in that regard, as no amount of ad-clear is every enough ad-clear. Thunderlord needs you to stand mostly still and shoot headshots to do large amounts of damage. You do not want to do that on THE squishiest subclass in the entire game. And while it is very tempting to go double special, you still kinda need a primary weapon, if only to "prime" ads when you build up stacks, or at the *very least* a secondary that doesn't murder any red bar instantly. You don't want to be punching the same Acolyte fifty times, because with even a slightly larger power gap than here, he's just gonna backhand you and break your neck. So instead of a blinding nade launcher, just use Indebted Kindness or Path of Least Resistance/another trace - might as well run divinity, at least you can fuck up tormentors easily - is very much the play. The only exception might be going up against an Unstop Ogre, but even then you can just jolt & punch first - Lethal Current and your 'nade got you covered there. Or just put on Blinding Nade if you feel the need to. Or just use the Mothkeeper's for you exotic with its reliable - albeit kinda slow - blinding moths. For heavy, you need a heavy GL, a Rocket, or an LFR *at the very least*, otherwise the only thing you'll be throwing at tougher targets at a distance (like Shriekers) is a witty insult, because you are NOT punching them, and you are NOT getting close to them with Arc Staff, and you are NOT staring them down with goddamn Thunderlord for 30 seconds until the gun finally ramps up (which, btw, you can't even reload quickly because you have Gambler's Dodge, not Marksman, so you can't even use it in its ramped up state for that long, so you might as well just use a Hammerhead or Song of Ir Yut and be done with it).

I agree. Raiden Flux has the disadvantage of being completely useless outside of Super. It does nothing to help you charge it like buffed celestial or refund any like shards. Sure the damage from a 1-2 punch shotgun is close to Liars but you don’t get A) the healing which has actually kept me alive while punching a boss/champ in the nuts for a considerable amount of time and more importantly imo B) You don’t get the badass looking follow up punch, Cross Counter. Without liars you just spam the basic ass punch like he’s doing in the video. No thank you. My liars build makes just as many orbs literally the only thing different is the raidens and using arc staff, which meh. If you really wanna run arc staff with raidens for something like onslaught I’d just do a hot swap loadout for super. Not worth sacrificing liars.

My fav exotic for arc hunter

For this build, I would swap out for the disorienting grenades/auto loading/chill clip to keep enemies from scattering as soon as they are disoriented by slowing them or even freezing them for shatter damage On larger enemies so you can run in to get off the melee kills.

Final warning with facet of balance on hunter with stylish executioner and strand clone also using renewal grasps for my dusk fields and you can fill in the other weapons and aspects because I still don’t have all of them

I think something that would be good to consider adding is riskrunner, It works well with melee because whenever you throw your pulse you might get hit by it once or twice triggering the riskrunner perk giving you that resistance. Would really help your survivalbilty

Mac, you should use your golden tricorn subjunctive for this build. You're pretty much always gonna have golden tricorn active and having 3 arc weapon surge mods would make it even better

Why not use assassins cowl and then switch to Radeon flux for super pops?

OCD question why are some build videos have aspects and fragments not in order of selection?

Arc hunter is my favorite build. I hope the next artifact has arc stuff.

Looks like a lot of fun to use, and this build will work with a 68 roll Raiden Flux I have been holding on to for what feels like years now. Although at the end it sounds like this might not be the build to run for Final Shape if you're planning to do the campaign on Legendary difficulty. Will still give it a shot. If it doesn't work theres always the Arc or Solar Assassins Cowl builds to fall back on.

"Let's go finish up this pantheon!" ... wait ... Where am I?!

Thank you bro

Aren't they changing combination blow in TFS so it always uses your powered melee charge regardless of whether the enemy dies???

Was there a dim build?

One moment, doesn't the new ascention ability consume your class ability? So if combination blow refunds it, that's gonna give you two immediate charges, plus monte carlo and you could spam ascentions for as long as there are adds, and with the new chest piece, that's gonna give you some good damage, or you could use sixth ciotee instead, though that'd only benefit your first attack since I don't think combination blow refunds both.

You can perform the same build with titan and insurmountable skullfront and thunderclap.

My issue with arc hunter melee builds is that the lethal current explosion often kills the enemy and doesn't give you a stack of combination blow

Then it's a different build.

Raiden flux was so key for add clear in OG leviathan hard mode

To an extent this is the same build made l made last season. Though it was utilizing gathering storm and a couple different items. BUT, when they nerfed the orb drop rates it took a VERY hard hit. It was absolutely invincible. Liars Handshake is a better call with an Assassins swap, or in this this builds case the chest your are using. But trust me on this, because you're not depending on the weapon for kills, an Auto Loading One Two Punch Dead Weight Shotgun from Gambit for its speed... And I ran it in combination with Two Tailed Fox for the synergy and debuf.... Just take a look at it

Prbly the best thing is have to builds, lair hand and then swap to raidenflux. So this way you can get combination blow going untill super

This is definitely close to the build I want to make going into Final Shape but I want to make a true Arc Staff with the Tempest Strike Aspect and even with the exotic it's gonna get with Final Shape, I kinda feel like it isn't as good as Titan's Conceration Build.

the goal is to get melee kills for stacks of combination blow, and one-two punch increases melee damage. trench barrel increases weapon damage so you would just end up accidentally getting weapon kills instead of melee kills

11:29 maybe a build swap would be safer ? Like building up to the super use assassins cowl, when super is ready swap pop then swap back no ?

This build is spicey and looks like you can really just flex any armor exotic with Arc hunter to change up your needs on the go.

Curious why you don't run Power Preservation over the Heavy Finder. Most of your kills are from abilities, which dont count toward your finder progress. Running Power Preservation gets your allies even MORE orbs

What’s the name of the grenade launcher?

Id say blink and flashbang grenades are the superior choices with this build
