Solo Root of Nightmares Full Raid | Hunter

Описание: This is a full solo Hunter run of the Root of Nightmares raid in Destiny 2. I cut the loadouts out due to the length of the video. Full thoughts in the description. The run is a compilation of my first clears of each encounter and was completed in multiple play sessions and instances.

If you want to get into solo challenges or want the loadouts for any of these you can find me in the solo discord:   / discord  


Thoughts:

Cataclysm - Practically the same as lock, thoughts are much the same as a result. I think this is a fantastic entry challenge for anyone looking to get into solo raid challenges.

Scission - The easiest encounter in the raid. Even solo I don’t like this encounter. For my money, this is the worst raid encounter they’ve ever made.

Explicator - I really enjoyed this encounter on hunter, despite hating it on lock. Explicator is the opposite of lock, lots of leeway with damage but running is tight. The lack of passive ad clear with damage over time grenades means you need to be a lot more on point with clearing ads, but that also makes it feel a lot more action packed. Gunpowder gamble and calibans hand genuinely shocked me at how good they were, especially gunpowder which I’m quite sure I’ve never even equipped. Doing the majority of the theory crafting myself was probably a big reason I enjoyed Hunter so much. Only took around 15 hours, which felt really fast considering a lot of that time was theory crafting.

Nezarec - I forgot how truly irritating it is to be constantly slowed by the colossus at Nez. That aside, I’d give this encounter a 6/10 for enjoyment. Much easier than lock because Hunter damage is insane right now, really glad goldie was buffed this season. Took me around 8 hours, most of that spent remembering how to run at Nez and figuring out where to stand to not die in DPS. Wondering if someone will cook up a 2 phase with Hunter on this by the end of the season.
