Including this build here for its amazing synergy with Osteo Striga (and Thorn, but we’ll use Osteo). Necrotic Grips on their own, are an OK exotic. They grant a small increase to airborn effectiveness of your weapons of sorrow (Osteo/Thorn). More importantly, it now applies poison to each melee attack, charged or uncharged. The poison damage dealt to enemies increases each 0.5 seconds while they take poison damage. If a poisoned enemy dies, they will spread the poison effect within a 5m radius around them. What’s interesting with the Osteo Striga + Necrotic Grips is the poison effect that would normally only effect melee attacks, is now applied to all the Osteo bullets. Effectively, you can spread poison damage from a distance to every enemy you damage. They will also spread the poison to everyone around them. This creates an amazing synergy between exotic and weapons alone. This paired with an oppressive suspending build is one of the best strand builds available.

Aspects
The Wanderer is a new aspect, but since we don’t really use hatchling, it will be of better use to this build. It now allows threadlings to create tangles (helpful if you’re running a hatchling perk). More importantly, Tangles that you throw will attach themselves to targets and detonate, creating a suspending burst around the detonation. Mindspun Invocation is really important to this build. While you can throw your grenade to do an immediate suspending burst, ideally, we want to be consuming the grenade. Doing so will activate Weaver’s Trance, while this perk is active, all final blows will create a suspending detonation. This paired with the insane enemy control from Osteo + Necrotic grips, not only will you be spreading poison endlessly, but also these suspending detonation. All this combined creates for an insanely oppressive build in any content.

Fragment
Thread of Continuity increase the duration of all suspend, unravel and sever effects applied to enemies. Quite useful to this build since we use suspend in just about every final blow while Weaver’s Trance is active. Thread of Generation dealing damage will now generate grenade energy. This again, paired with Osteo + Necrotic, will create huge amounts of grenade energy. One of the main reasons this build does not need tier 10 discipline (but if you manage it, all the better)  Thread of Mind defeating suspended targets generates class ability energy. Another big source of our ability energy regeneration, since all of our final blows with Weaver’s Trance will generate suspend. Thread of Binding super final blows create a suspending burst from the target. A nice to have to really double down on suspend, and it provides resilience, but this can be swapped out to something else, depending on playstyle.
