Rolls published by u/engineeeeer7 and rated as 5/5 in the linked spreadsheet at https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/1dz5sj5/exotic_class_item_planner_and_reference/ (PvE PvE-Utility PvE-God M+KB Controller): One to help reclaim punchy-punchy builds from Titans, with a pretty simple gameplay loop - Synthoceps increases your melee damage by ×3 for 6s when you have 3+ enemies nearby, while either Assassin makes you invisible on a melee or finisher kill or Inmost Light improves your abilities and regen rate as you use them. This cries out for use with the Gambler's Dodge class ability to keep you punching, dodging and regenerating health, the Combination Blow melee, Grapple grenade, and Winter's Shroud and Stylish Executioner aspects for a pretty much one-Guardian army (while there are Minor adds to kill, anyway), although be warned that sometimes the damage can be confusingly inconsistent. You'll almost certainly need Facets of Dawn, Protection and Blessing to boost DR, healing and damage further with your CQC melee gameplay. And, seeing as you're asking, Relativism is a philosophical theory that knowledge, truth, and morality exist in relation to culture, society, or historical context, and are not absolute.|tags:PvE PvE-Utility PvE-God M+KB Controller

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 113 from 14 August 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/6SKpRAnTC5gulAjyj6aed1?si=ed2635f4a03a4676) with @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-BossSpec PvE-Champion PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): This is a combination that boosts your neutral game with two possible ways to go - Renewal and Cyrtarachne (a genus of orb-weaver spiders, seeing as you're asking) or Inmost Light and Cyrtarachne. Throwing the grenade in either case with Cyrtarachne grants Woven Mail for -45% damage reduction. With Renewal, you're restricted to Duskfield Grenades, but they are good with the slowing and freezing effective on Overload and Unstoppable Champions, plus Renewal's effect of reducing damage output from enemies by -50% and providing allies with Frost Armour. With Spirit of Inmost Light, you can use any grenade (although Duskfield is still very good) and rely on the short cooldown of your Gambler's Dodge with Combination Blow to keep the fast ability regeneration going. The Facet of Balance, in particular, is good here to boost grenade energy on rapid darkness kills, but Aspects and Fragments will largely depend on your super, and neutral game buildcrafting goals, so there's not really any specific recommendations. And, seeing as you're asking, Relativism is a philisophical theory that knowledge, truth, and morality exist in relation to culture, society, or historical context, and are not absolute.|tags:PvE PvE-Boss PvE-BossSpec PvE-Champion PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller

One the one hand, Inmost Light will boost abilities and regeneration time just by using them, while Verity can boost grenade damage by up to ×2 on matching weapon damage. Pretty much super, ability, aspect and fragment agnostic (although your weapon elemental damage type will need to match your grenade), so you can just use them to flesh out your preferred gameplay style.

Ideally you'll need a burst damage super like Storm's Edge and then swap to your arc boss damage weapon of choice. As this is aimed at boss damage, you can choose your abilities, aspects and fragments to support your preferred gameplay objectives.

Neither boosts grenade ability recharge rate, so you might want to look at a matching element weapon with the Demolitionist trait, and/or using aspects and fragments that do the same, or which improve your grenade use further.

To regain grenade energy quickly after your super ends, you might look at Facets of Balance (to use with a Stasis/Strand primary weapon), and maybe also Courage to boost damage for a Gathering Storm super, but otherwise melee, aspects and fragments can be used to support your gameplay objectives.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 113 from 14 August 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/6SKpRAnTC5gulAjyj6aed1?si=ed2635f4a03a4676) with @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-MajorSpec PvE-Champion PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): This is combination a lot of Guardians are chasing for Huntere melee builds. You can use any grenade, but Grapple grenade with the melee follow-up also counts to proc Caliban's. For the melee ability, the Threaded Spike melee can chain multiple ignitions, or a more traditional Combination Blow is a natual pairing to the Liar intrinsic side. Then Gambler's Dodge near enemies to get your melee back and repeat until the room's clear. The Caliban ignitions will stun Overload champions, but as you'll be up close, you might need to think about a bit of invisibility, damage resistance and/or healing somewhere else in your subclass setup and armour mods. So maybe try Stylish Executioner and Winter's Shroud Aspects (dodge applies slow nearby, and then killing slowed enemies makes you invisible), and then Facets of Sacrifice, Courage, Dawn, Protection, and Ruin - Protection gives you +15% DR in a crowd (+30% when Transcendent), powered melee hits from Dawn make you radiant for a +25% damage boost (and to pierce Barrier Champions with your weapons), while you're radiant you get bonus darkness transcendence energy from kills with Sacrifice, Courage increases light-based damage against darkness debuffed enemies (so more ignition damage against slowed/severed enemies), and Ruin increases the size of ignitions. If you're looking for healing then, maybe swap out Sacrifice for Blessing, which starts health regeneration on melee kills.

Spirit of Galanor returns super energy on hits and final blows, while Spirit of the Star Eater boosts super damage by up to 70% at six stacks, just by picking up orbs. It's that easy! Aspects and Fragments will largely depend on your super, and neutral game buildcrafting goals, so there's not really any specific recommendations.
