While I wish I had grabbed a clip of this from comp I'll name the combo needed to perform this.
It requires a little more investment than the Arc hunter one shot but with the game having it's final update I think people will just jump off of arc hunter and switch to solar warlock immediately for path of least resistance and pvp will start to feel real bad real fast if this also becomes the meta.
If you run Celestial Fire with the 4 piece from Pit of Heresy and the Ember of Torches Fragment when you hit someone even just barely tagging them they will stack up scorch and ignite solely from the melee.
Now currently the most consistent way to get ignitions with warlock is spending a grenade usually incendiary and a melee to get the ignitions but getting it off of just melee with the only investment being the armor I think will be very unhealthy for the future of the game and needs to be nipped in the bud now.
I do understand the idea of wanting people to buildcraft I really do and I plan on doing a lot of it, but this makes getting a kill far too easy.
Now outright I suggest the nuclear option of not allowing any set bonuses aside from the trials and comp one to be active in pvp or minimum comp and trials but I know that's extreme it's just to possibly avoid another thing like this popping up again. But I think this definitely needs to get hit.
To finish, thank you Bungie so much for making this game I loved playing since the demo of Destiny 1, I hope for a bright future of this franchise.

1 ReplyThese kind of one shot hits are always bad for the game and should not be allowed. This Arc Bakris melee is really anoying aswell. But with Arc Hunter Bakris melee build I think that is more of a high risk high reward thing. If you try to take player out with that and they are stacked, you most likely will be teamshotted to death. In 1v1 it is safer, but how many times that happends. People are always stacked. Im not good enough to be OP with Arc Hunter Bakris and I tried it yesterday, was using blink aswell so I was trying to be as anoying as possible and got few melee kills, but most of the time I was shot to death almost immediatly anyways. Usually just got one player out and two others shot me in milliseconds.

Just spent the day making this build and it's not even good. It's so much better to play like normal with other pvp armor bonuses.

1 ReplyThis is why there needs to be a PvP mode solely based on gun play and the ability to use a healing rift or DMG rift that only does exactly that and nothing more.

1 ReplyAny solar melee that can hit multiple times can probably do it. Even proximity knife can do it in one I think. The triple throwing knife definitely could if someone is insane enough to try it.

3 RepliesFr it's even worse then the bakris melee, at least you can counter that with a shotgun, even for how oppressive it is. This is ridiculous and will kill any hope of d2 pvp down the line
