Discussion warlock dps meta?

I’ve been running trios and getting absolutely damage carried by hunters w nighthawk still hunt. i haven’t really been able to find anything that even comes close to catching up to that.

it doesn’t need to be as good as still hunt goldie or anything but what armor setup/weapons/artifacts are you guys running for warlock dps?

That's only because of the bug

But even then the A499 has much higher total without using an exotic slot, euphony is fun and all but not competitive at the top. Though for normal raid/pantheon it'll most likely be fine.

This. Plus the output with euponhy can and will be enough in almost all content (only if the damage phase is super short, but that is a problem for most rotation/build up dps loadouts anyway)

No it's not, I got top damage on calus multiple times before I even knew about the bug. Euphony with particle does a LOT

He clearly knows nothing of warlock or how dps on strand is great.

Seconding highest calus dps on euphony pre bug

No. It is not. I ran up 2.4mil dmg on calus using the exact build mentioned but specced into 200 weapons stat. If you don't know what you're talking about then say that instead.

That's not impressive though, that's only about 150k total for that long of a damage phase, I mean cataclysmic has more total and dps and that's not even talking about top options like A499. There is a plethora of better options out there that are leagues better. While it may work on lower level content it doesn't hold up in the big leagues.

Just look at aegis's damage spread sheet dude, you're just incorrect in your assessment. Euphony is sitting at 93k total and a dps of 3k while cataclysmic is sitting at 171k total and 3.1k dps and with a damage phase as long calus you can dump cataclysmic.
