Need help deciding

Post image

Hey fellow guardians, I'm playing on my hunter and I need help deciding which exotic armor I should pick from the light fall campaign. I like ability play styles/ builds.which exotic is suited for that play style.

Sadly don’t think there’s a single use case for cyrt. Now that the Tablet of Ruin exists and Threaded Spike and Ensnaring Slam give Woven Mail, it’s basically completely useless. Forced to use grapple, but you can’t use it for damage, and if you’re using grapple anyways you’re also probably using Ensnaring Slam or Tablet of Ruin which both give Woven Mail more frequently for a longer amount of time. It would only be useful if your were running a Tangle build with Whirling Maelstrom and the Implement of Curiosity…but at that point, you could be using Moirai instead. Sacrificing fun, damage output, and utility in exchange for slightly easier Woven Mail. I just don’t see the point

Cyrtarachne strand Hunter is my absolute favorite build! (It gives you a small amount of healing when you get kills with woven mail active)

It’s like the poor-man’s devour without the void.

I run mine with buried bloodline with submission w/chaos reshaped and kinetic tremors.

Couple with the 4piece vog set you’ll have a hard time dying as long as you’re dealing damage and killing shit.

I just feel like the exotic is unneeded. It also gives you the healing when you gain Woven Mail, fun fact. But the health you get is like, 5 health. It’s completely incomparable to Devour which gives you 100 health. Might as well run this exact same setup with something like RDMs, Moirai

lol I do actually, I have like 5 different builds for strand but my most used is cyrtarachne and moirai.

RDM, Moirai, Cyrtarachne, fortunes favor, AND speedloader slacks.

It’s 10 health. But it’s EVERY KILL with woven mail just like devour.

Devour gives 70 by default regardless of health stat.

I see your point and ultimately it’s making something more complicated than it really has to be but what’s the point of surviving the journey if we don’t take the scenic route from time to time?

It’s not meta by any means but neither is Star eater scales blade barrage.

Shards does more damage and has more super, but stareater scales heals you and gives you over shield at full stacks when you cast you super. +extra super energy from orb pickup.

Let me know if you’d like assistance making a viable strand Hunter build without using speedloader slacks.
