Stats For Warlock Arc Build

The most important stat for the Warlock Arc build is discipline. Resilience and Recovery have equal importance so you can prioritize any one of the two. I prefer resilience over recovery as it gives more survivability. Recovery will decrease the cooldown of your rift. Rift will use Arc Soul, making it an important part of Arc Warlock build Destiny 2. Arc Soul aspect will also help in the cooldown reduction of Rift so you can prioritize resilience over recovery.

 

Weapon

Use any weapon you see fit with the Arc Warlock build as any weapon will work with it. Just keep the champions of activity in mind while choosing a weapon.

Exotic Armor

The exotic armor for the build is Fallen Sunstar as it is one of the best exotic for Arc Warlock. Ionic traces you create will grant more energy and they will travel faster. You will be creating a lot of iconic traces as one of the Warlock’s aspect grant ionic traces on the ability kills.

Subclass

Arc Warlock build Destiny 2 uses the Arc subclass since it is an Arc build. It uses different abilities to let you destroy enemies.

Abilities

Abilities are a key part of any build and Warlock arc build is no different. It uses different abilities to rain lighting on the enemies.

Super

Chaos Reach is a better choice as it has a lower cooldown time and also lets you do damage from a distance. Chaos Reach is not a roaming super so it lets you do more damage in a short time.

Grenade

Use any grenade you see fit however, using Storm or Pulse grenade can be a good choice. These two grenades will work best with Arc Warlock.

Class Ability

You can use either Empowering Rift or Healing Rift the choice is up to you. However, Healing Rift will increase your survivability as Rift will be one of your sources of damage thanks to Arc Soul.

Melee

The use of melee is up to you but using Ball Lighting melee can be a better choice as it lets you do damage from a distance. While amplified Ball Lighting will do more damage.

Aspects

The two aspects rely on each other and give a major boost to Arc Warlock build Destiny 2.

Electrostatic Mind

Defeating enemies with arc abilities or defeating jolted or blinded targets will create an ionic trace. Basically, defeating arc debuffed or defeating a target with any ability will make an ionic trace. Collecting an Ionic trace will also make you amplified. Ionic traces are arc elements that grant ability energy when collected. They are a key part of the Arc Warlock Destiny 2 build the build relies on them. Fallen Sunstar will grant you extra ability energy when you collect the ionic traces. Electrostatic Mind grants two fragment slots.

Arc Soul

Casting a rift will create an Arc body that will fire at targets in front of you. Allies who pass through the rift will also get Arc Soul. Your rift will recharge faster when allies are near you. This aspect also serves as a major source of cooldown for your rift ability.

Any enemy it defeats will count as an ability kill and will create an ionic trace. Collecting ionic traces will make you amplified thanks to Electrostatic Mind. While amplified your Arc Soul will become supercharged. When Arc Soul is supercharged it will have an increased rate of fire.

Fragments

Different fragments work with aspects to make the build function properly.

Spark of Resistance

While surrounded by enemies you will take less incoming damage. When enemies are near you Spark of Resistance will activate. It also gives you +10 strength.

Spark of Shock

Your arc grenade will jolt targets that it hits. It will not only increase your grenade damage but will also activate Spark of Ion to create more ionic traces. It will also give you a -10 discipline penalty.

Spark of Magnitude

Lighting, Pulse, and Storm grenades will have increased duration. Spark of Magnitude will increase the amount of damage your grenades do.

Spark of Ions

Defeating a jolted target will create an ionic trace. Any enemy you defeat with a grenade will create an ionic trace since it jolts the target due to Spark of Shock. Enemies you defeat that are affected by your grenade will also make an ionic trace since they are jolted. Anytime you create one ionic trace a second ionic trace will also form through Spark of Ions. It doubles the amount of ionic traces you create.
