The best exotic armors of the Warlocks
The Warlock as Space Mage and Support: The new super abilities of the Warlock that were introduced with Forsaken are among the best in the game.
The Chaos Reach of the Arc Warlock tears down boss enemies in seconds, the Nova Warp is probably the most annoying super currently in the Crucible, and the Well of Radiance from the Solar focus embodies a fantastic support ability.
The new exotic armors of the Warlocks perfectly complement the abilities of the individual subclasses. In addition, the Warlock has arguably the best exotic armor in conjunction with the exotic hand cannon Pikass. Why that is, you will find out now!
Chromatic Fire – Chest Armor
This is what the exotic chest armor Chromatic Fire can do: This exotic chest armor ensures that after a precise kill with a kinetic weapon, you trigger an elemental explosion that corresponds to the element of your equipped focus. So basically, you are permanently carrying the Fatebringer with you.
If you now combine the armor with a kinetic weapon that already has the perk Dragonfly, you benefit doubly, as enemies eliminated with precision hits explode twice!
This is why Chromatic Fire is so good with the Pikass: Pikass has the perk Dragonfly built-in, plus there is bonus damage after reloading. In combination with the Chromatic Fire chest armor, your escapades through Destiny 2 become an endless fireworks display.
How incredibly satisfying this is, you can see in the following video:
With which focus should one play Chromatic Fire? With any! The explosion triggered by the chest armor always corresponds to the element of your currently equipped focus. Therefore, the armor is perfect for all activities that increase the damage of a specific element.
Is the Chromatic Fire armor also suitable for the Crucible? Not really, as your enemies are rarely close enough together for you to take advantage of this special ability.
Phoenix Protocol – Chest Armor
This is what the Phoenix Protocol can do: Solar Warlocks have been able to use a new super ability, the Well of Radiance, since Forsaken. Those standing in this Well are healed and buffed for 30 seconds. The chest armor ensures that you regain super energy with kills and assists.
This means nothing less than that you can use your super ability continuously as long as you find enough enemies. Especially in harder activities, you benefit enormously and can keep your team alive.
Which focus is the Phoenix Protocol suitable for? All Warlock subclasses can benefit from the chest armor. Why? Because it doesn’t have to be your own Well of Radiance to generate super energy. As long as you have a Solar Warlock on your team who places the Well of Radiance, you can benefit from it, even as a Voidwalker or Arc Warlock.
Is the chest armor also suitable for the Crucible? In multiplayer mode, Voidwalker Warlocks dominate with the Nova Warp super. You can also play as a Sunbreaker and benefit from this chest armor. This is, at best, situationally effective.
Noteworthy mention: Anyone who cannot do much with the two aforementioned exotic armors and prefers to play with the new super ability Chaos Reach of the Arc Warlock should take a look at the exotic boots Geomag Stabilizers, which harmonize perfectly with the new subclass.
These boots allow you to fully recharge your missing super energy by sprinting after a certain progress in your super bar (around 80%). Additionally, you can extend the duration of your super with kills.
