Hold down your Grenade button, then let go to throw a high-damage grenade that deals a ton of damage to an enemy in very close proximity. This build is meant for quick boss DPSing and is especially potent when paired with a Song of Flame user for incredible DPS.
When it comes to weapons, the build is incredibly flexible and can be tailored to your needs for the activity you’re doing. However, a weapon for minor clear is recommended, as you do sometimes need to mow down ads while recharging your grenades.
If you need more range and less DPS, for example, in an ad-clear encounter, you can change Magnetic Grenade to Axion Bolt for more flexibility, even if this performs worse on ad-clear duty than other builds.
It’s unclear whether Bungie will take action. But, for now, this is the premier DPS strategy for Warlocks.
