The Final Shape in Destiny 2 brought us one thing that the Destiny community has been craving for some time: the return of Exotic class items. Best of all, each one comes packing two randomly assigned perks that can make for some extremely powerful combos.
Solopsism Warlock Cloak God Rolls
Below, you will find a range of options to explore. I seem to be a bit more hyped on this than much of the internet seems to be, as I can see a lot of potential build paths that are interesting to me. As a Warlock main, I would have to say I am quite happy with the options that are available to us. Just gotta get lucky with the drops!
Spirit of Nectrotic and Spirit of Synthoceps
A pretty obvious choice here, as both play into melee. Necrotic gives you that spreading Dot (and should get proced by Thorn and Osteo Striga), while Synthoceps will give a big boost to melee damage when you are surrounded. It can be slightly counterintuitive, but you will want to dive into groups and slap the yellow bars first.
Spirit of Nectrotic and Spirit of the Swarm
Honest, a pretty good middle ground for Strandlocks who just cannot make up their mind about what they want. Spreading Dot with weapons? Check. Spawning Threadlings from Tangles? Check. It’s a really nice combo due to the way and offers a little something to compete with the pure Strand builds that are still very powerful right now. The modern Warlock doesn’t need to compromise, it seems.
Spirit of Inmost Light and Spirit of the Star-Eater
I’m a big believer in Star-Eater in general, but this allows you to take that bonus damage AND reduce the time it takes to get the Super. If you read my Relativism God Rolls list, you’ll know what I mean. Juggle your skills right, and this will not let you down. You’ll be able to take advantage of the impressive boosts while also keeping your skill regeneration speeds nice and fast.
Spirit of Osmiomancy and Spirit of Verity
This is an interesting combo and would work well with my Fire and Ice Warlock. You get the quicker recharge and further travel of a Coldsnap from Osmiomancy, as well as a damage bonus from Verity based on weapon kills. It’s a solid combination, and Coldsnap is a great grenade option in the Prismatic Warlock kit that is worth building into.
Spirit of Apotheosis and Spirit of Star-Eater
This is a great option if you are running the new Solar Super that the Warlock was granted in The Final Shape. That entire super is about spamming abilities, and the enhanced damage will apply for as long as it is cast, not just the first thing you do. Because the super is all about spamming grenades and melee attacks, Apotheosis will seem to extend this for even longer, although you won’t get the additional damage once the super itself is over.
