Notes

Super: Chaos Reach with newly buffed Geomags stabilizers allows us to get a chaos reach with just 14 ionic trace pickups. Aspects: electrostatic mind is a must then depending on the new warlock aspects potency we would use that aspect instead or arc soul if the new aspect is a let down then we will stick with arc soul. and with the new amplified buff keeping amplified up will be more important with the 15% damage resistance and making it harder for enemies to hit similar to manticore you can stay in the open and still feel safe. Abilities: pulse grenade and ball lightning Fragments: Spark of beacons to allow our special and heavy weapons to blind targets on special or heavy weapon kill. (delicate tomb buff allows us to jolt and now blind targets with spark of beacons double dipping into electrostatic mind and granting us 2 ionic traces instead of one also delicate tomb damage buff from 30% to 100% when picking up an ionic trace this build will allow us to always have that damage buff shot) Coldheart depending on your preference. Spark of ions allows for even more ionic traces allowing us to get an additional ionic trace alongside electrostatic mind allowing us to get 3 ionic traces from one target this fragment can be replaced with spark of amplitude if you want more orbs or power. Spark of shock granting jolt on grenade hits feeding into geomags stabilizers super energy regen Spark of discharge allows arc weapon finals blows to grant an additional ionic trace alongside killing jolted and blinded targets. (all of these fragments and aspects combined can almost net us a super in about 20-30 seconds depending on how many ads are in the area.) Weapons: kinetic weapon is a sidearm. energy weapon is delicate tomb or coldheart (delicate tomb will be meta next season with the buffs to its perks) Heavy and boss damage weapon so a linear. stat distribution: max resilience and intellect with discipline artifact mods use all arc artifact mods and the rest can be your choic
