Warlock

Eye of Another World

This is a simple exotic that works with any subclass, it does not need to be used for stasis specifically. Given it’s benefit, and the low amount of stasis focused exotics that are usable, I like to use Eye of Another World for a strong general use stasis build. At it’s base, it provides a minor increase to airborn effectiveness, and a 50% increase to all your base ability regeneration speed. A nice added effect is enemies that are below 50% health will be marked in a red outline. Not a huge deal for the build, but any added effect is nice. You can use Osmiomancy Gloves in this build instead if you prefer have 2 grenades. There is no change to the build other then the exotic you want to use.

Aspects
Iceflare Bolts is a relatively simple aspect, shattering a frozen target will spawn seekers that track, and freeze, nearby enemies. Effectively, you can keep freezing enemies permanently just by shattering frozen targets over and over again. Glacial Harvest Will enable the build to create, an endless amount of stasis shards. When freezing enemies, you will create stasis shards around the target. The tougher the enemy, the more shards will be created. This is particularly helpful as we take advantage of the added shards with our fragments.

Fragment
Whisper of Chains
helps with survivability just by standing by stasis crystal or frozen enemies. Since our coldsnap grenades will continue to bounce from one target to another, there should be plenty of enemies to stand beside. Added bonus when using a weapon with headstone. Whisper of Fissures is a more offensive perk that amplifies the damage and damage radius of shattering stasis crystals. If you don’t need the damage reduction of Whisper of Chains anymore, shattering the crystal will do good damage.  Whisper of Conduction will take advantage of all the stasis shards Glacial Harvest will create. It will allow the shards to track to our position, rather then us going to retrieve them all where they spawn. Whisper of Rime is were all the stasis shard creating, and tracking comes to a point. Rime will grant a portion of overshield for a short while with each stasis shard collected. Collecting more shards refreshes the time the shield will last. This will help with overall survivability in any content.

Weapon Recommendation
Exotic Weapon(s)
Conditional Finality

This is an extremely strong shotgun to use, not only for it’s freezing effect, but for how easily it can deal with champions, tough enemies, even add clear. For this build, its effectiveness at freezing enemies makes it ideal. It can perform in any difficulty aspect of the game which makes it the perfect weapon to use. The freezing effects are particularly strong against Unstop champions, but freezing any champion type makes dealing with them a breeze.

Legendary Weapon(s)
Bloodfeud

Bloodfeud is a strong SMG that can roll with Headstone, and your choice of 3rd column perk. I like Pugilist for more melee energy.

Riptide

The strongest stasis fusion rifle. Lowest charge time, and can have Chill Clip which slow/freezes enemies effectively.

Bump in the Night

An aggressive frame rocket that can have Chill Clip. This paired with someone using Gjallarhorn enables multiple freezing and shatter damage from chill clip.

Perk Recommendation

         
Headstone // Chill Clip

Any weapon with the above perks will benefit the build. While not needed, the ability to freeze/slow any enemy is very strong, and with a stasis build, ties in quite nicely. Headstone will create a stasis crystal on every precision kill you get. Chill clip will apply slowing stacks on enemies, and with enough slow, it will freeze the enemy in place. Both of these effect benefit the build and tie in to our fragments/aspects of choice.
