Unlock the Power: Destiny 2’s Game-Changing Titan Build You Can’t Ignore!

Summary

  • Destiny 2 builds have evolved to offer unique choices that impact gameplay.
  • Balancing changes in Episode Heresy improved existing and created new builds.
  • Bungie should not nerf Storm’s Keep, but focus on creating more unique builds for all classes.

Initially, Destiny 2 was rather sparse in character customization when it debuted. However, over time, the game has developed to a point where every minor choice made for personalizing character abilities carries significant weight. From the redesign of Light subclasses following Stasis’ release to the advent of Prismatic, Destiny 2 builds for all classes have grown increasingly unique and potent, sometimes even deciding whether certain content can be tackled solo or with ease. With Episode Heresy introducing several modifications to existing builds and crafting new ones, it’s crucial that the best one isn’t phased out but instead evolves further in a positive direction.

In Destiny 2, keeping the sandbox balanced is a crucial aspect that keeps players engaged and eager to experiment with new features or altered builds. For instance, the introduction of Heresy enhanced the power level of the Warlock’s Geomag Stabilizers Exotic, making it overpowered in conjunction with numerous Arc adjustments. Similarly, the Titan’s Khepri’s Horn Exotic helm (with Spirit of the Horn on Stoicism) went from practically useless to highly effective. As Act 3 stands now, the optimal build for Arc Titans is Storm’s Keep, which excels in various PvE content within the game. While Bungie might consider scaling it back in the future, they shouldn’t.

Destiny 2 Should Make More Builds Like Storm’s Keep on Arc Titan

In the game Destiny 2, the Storm’s Keep Titan build stands out as a remarkable instance of reshaping a class’ unique identity, an occurrence that isn’t common – particularly in a series that has been around for over a decade. For quite some time, Titans in Destiny 2 have required a boost or alteration, and the enhanced protective aspects for the Barricade were a positive move, but it wasn’t sufficient. Storm’s Keep equips Titans with the ability to inflict significant damage from afar, a capability that has been long overdue for the “melee class.” Bungie should be mindful not to eliminate this advantage.

Rather than maintaining Storm’s Keep as is, its popularity among players could spark a series of changes that not only preserve the existing build but also pave the way for more variations. Destiny 2 could greatly benefit from fresh ideas in various aspects, and offering a Titan class that has primarily been focused on melee combat an opportunity to excel in another role is highly commendable. This is why Bungie should leverage Storm’s Keep to enhance other Titan builds within Destiny 2 or create new roles for the class, then apply the same strategy to Warlock and Hunter classes as well.

Why Bungie Shouldn’t Nerf Storm’s Keep in Destiny 2

Currently, one outstanding Warlock build in Destiny 2 is optimized with Prismatic and features Lightning Surge and Solipsism perks, enhanced by modifiers like Spirit of the Inmost Light and Spirit of Synthoceps. While Warlock melee builds haven’t traditionally shone, this one excels at clearing challenging PvE content even solo, which sets it apart. This type of build, similar to Storm’s Keep on Arc, deserves recognition and additional support, potentially leading to the creation of more diverse builds. Altering these builds excessively could disrupt the game’s balance in harmful ways, which is not beneficial at this time.

If Bungie decides to adjust (tone down) Storm’s Keep, it would eliminate the primary reliable long-range DPS (damage per second) choice for Titans, except in specific instances such as boss damage with particular Stoicism rolls that combine both Spirit of the Eternal Warrior and Spirit of the Star-Eater to amplify Twilight Arsenal’s damage. This strategy is not always practical and necessitates a buildup only possible in certain boss encounters within Destiny 2. Storm’s Keep has additional requirements to be effective, making it adaptable with any Exotic weapon. Fingers crossed that Bungie’s changes result in more diverse builds instead of reducing them.
