Hey everyone! I recently got back into Destiny after some time away from the game, and I played during the final shape. I’ve been checking out various videos on YouTube for Warlock builds but haven’t found one that really clicks for me. Does anyone have any solid recommendations for a Warlock build that can tackle late game content effectively?

Honestly, you can make a wide variety of builds work for end-game content these days. Just avoid anything too niche for Contest Mode. Do you have specific playstyles you prefer or any exotics you want to use?
If you’re looking to dominate late game, I definitely recommend the Geomag build with Delicate Tomb. Right now, it’s a total beast, especially with the current artifact mods boosting its performance.
Make sure to consider the content you’re tackling! Some builds do great in Grandmasters but flop in raids, and vice versa. For boss encounters, Sanguine Alchemy and HOIL with the SE Bond are great picks. However, don’t take Sanguine into Grandmasters unless you want a rough time! HOIL and Synthos Lightning Surge is a solid, low-effort choice for most non-boss content.
You should check out these builds: https://dim.gg/cs7qpqy/Gamma and https://dim.gg/gap5ify/Raid. Just remember to consider what expansion you have! The first one is great for some GMs too. Focus on melee strength with whichever weapon combo you like!
I’ve been mixing it up with a couple of prismatic builds: Getaway Artist paired with Bleak Watcher and using Synthoceps with Lightning Surge has been super effective. Although you might not have access to all these yet if you’re just back, I’ve noticed a lot of players leaning towards Geomags this season too!
I just started using that build too, and it’s been the best for me so far! Do you have any suggestions for what to put in my kinetic and power slots?
