Best Memory of Felwinter Builds (Hunter and Warlock)
Hi Swaye here and today we are going to talk about the best build for your hunter and warlock when you are using the Memory of Felwinter artifact. For those who are not familiar with this ….. the Memory of felwinter is the artifact that is introduced in the Rise of Iron expansion which will give you an extra grenade and melee and boost to all stats while losing your super.
Have a look at my Best Artifact video where I break down all artifacts and explain you why the Memory of felwinter is in my opinion the best artifact of all.
With this artifact you can ignore some exotic armour that are focused on your super or those that give you an extra grenade or melee and certain subclass perks can be replaced with others that will make your build even more effective. As you might have noticed in the title we will only focus on hunters and warlock, this is not because I dont have any love for titans. Believe me I like titans and I have one myself, I just don’t believe gaining an additional grenade and melee is worth sacrificing the super for titans, as first of all their supers are really good and second of all the neutral game is much better for hunters and warlocks that can benefit this artifact more than titans, so thats why I leave out titans in this video.
Before we dive into the builds I have an extra pro-tip which I will show you at the end of the video so stick with me until the end!
Hunter
Ok let’s start with the hunter, more specifically we will first focus on the nightstalker and then the gunslinger as the nightstalker has arguable one of the best neutral game out of the three subclasses. When we look at the perk options It has fantastic manoeuvrability options with Shadestep and Better control, which can be enhanced with Bones of Eao AND the Grenade and Melee options are great as well. Especially the famous wombo combo where you throw a smoke to trap the guardian followed up by grenade is very effective.
So having the Memory of Felwinter means that we do not have to use the Sealed Ahamkara Grasps which will give you an additional melee charge and this opens up the possibility to use the other popular exotics like the Graviton Forfeit or Bones of eao.
So with the artifact build I recommend to build on the standard Pvp Nightstalker build with Envenomed and vortex grenades, to keep your wombo combo’s up at all times. And I would opt for Better Control with Bones of Eao and Shadestep for the extra mobility. Alternatively you can use Graviton Forfeit for shadestep and use Keen scout instead for the extra radar awareness, whatever you value the most ….mobility or extra awareness.
As for the Gunslinger losing the Golden Gun is a big issue, as this one of the most effective and easy to use super. You just point and shoot. But if we look at the double grenade and melees that you get from the artifact this will open up interesting options that can be very interesting for a slayer type of player. You can opt for Chain of Woe to increase the reload speed after a precision kill and incendiary blade to make your throwing knives even more deadly, and NOW for the interesting part of the build is the choice of swarm grenade and scavenger. I am not recommending tripmine grenades since these are now less useful since the nerf and without the exotic young ahamkara’s spine the duration is in my opinion too short to make them useful.
And imagine double swarm grenades chasing after an enemy, these will be the next big thing with this artifact, and scavenger compliments the slayer build very well as killing an enemy now not only grants you chain of woe but it probably will also drop ammo which can get your melees and grenades ready for your next encounter and this will help your maintain your killing streak. As for the exotic choice , because tripmines are not used there is no need for the young ahamkara’s spine and thus the bones of eao is a no-brainer to give the gunslinger an extra mobility boost.
As for the warlock the sunsinger is a no-brainer choice to be paired up with the memory of felwinter artifact, having double grenades means you dont have to sacrifice gift of the sun anymore and you can choose touch of flame which pairs very well with viking funeral and having double Flame shield available means that that you will definitely have the upper hand when it comes to melee battles. As for grenades I moved over to fusion grenades since the nerf of firebolts, fusion are actually working really well when you have a shotgunner rushing at you, due to the stickiness of the grenade it is very easy to have these sticked to your enemy when he is rushing you.
As you will be holding on to your super you definitely want to pair your build with the exotic weapon Thaloc, which is in the neutral state a mediocre scout rifle but with the exotic perk overflow active this becomes a beast of a weapon with better handling , rate of fire and stability when the super is charged.
And as for the exotic armor choice I recommend to go for the Ram for a more tankier build alternatively Voidfang Vestments can be useful as well which will let you respawn with full grenade energy.
So these are my recommended build with the Memory of Felwinter , as for the extra pro-tip. When you are working on your Intellect, discipline and strength build keep in mind to pair this with your Helmet perks which can be easily overlooked.
Each Helmet can roll with extra bonus grenade or melee energy when you pick up an orb of light which can complement your current intellect, discipline and strength allocation.
You can either choose to boost your current tier build even more or make up for one of the areas in where its lacking.
So these are my suggestions for using the Memory of Felwinter artifact, let me know how this works for you, thanks for watching, subscribe to stay up to date on my latest videos and as always I will you in the next video guardians!
